What lens was the first cinematic sequence shot on? Looks amazing, well done!

You should reshoot this video in super 8

Film is a lot more fun, I love how you don’t know what you got until you get the roll developed

Ayant regardé votre vidéo, j'ai vraiment aimé toutes vos photos, vous avez le sens du cadrage, et vous savez regarder ce qui vous entoure.Avec votre boîtier P e n t a x ,cet appareil photo est solide et fiable. J'en ai eu un ( K M ou K X ) que j'ai gardé une quinzaine d'année en changeant ma pile de temps en temps. J'ai eu un très bon modèle de pile que j'ai gardé 4 ans. Pour les pellicules décrites dans votre film, je préfère la ( c o l o r plus et la c i n e s t i l) dont le rendu des couleurs sont proche de la normale. Pour le noir et blanc, le rendu des gris n'est pas très étendu, mais on a de l'ambiance. Vous avez montré la pellicule I l f o r d 800 et 3200, mais garder à sa sensibilité normale, si on veut avoir la photo finale normale. Si votre appareil va jusqu'à 1600 ou 3200 i s o, un petit truc pour étendre la sensibilité ( Soit vous fermez le diaphragme , si vous gardez le diaphragme initial, jouer sur les vitesses. Soit une combinaison des deux, ce qui m'a permis d'avoir une image,avec un peu plus de grain, et garder une netteté. J'étais sur un port, j'avais un grand-angle, un gros projecteur éclairait le bateau, il faisait nuit, par ce moyen là j'étais au 1/125eme à F 5, 6 avec une 3200 K o d a k, je développais moi-même les films en noir et blanc. Vos photos montrent que vous êtes aux U S A, j'espère voir d'autres photos que vous faites. Pas pour les critiquer, mais surtout pour avoir un échange d'idée sur la technique et au travers du noir et blanc ou la couleur, la région où vous vivez, et si vous acceptez être mon correspondant. p e r i c l e s 32410

Great video, I kove B&W. The simplicity has really helped me improve my comps. It just feels so timeless as well.

if i have to pay to take a photo, i choose film if i have to pay to have a photo taken, i choose digital

I agree with what you said for the most part. I'd be curious what you thought about Fuji 400 and 200 film. They are film stocks I want to like but I just don't.

I shoot B&W also. I have several film cameras. I keep B&W in one all the time.... not the same one, just at least one camera has B&W while another will have color. I also have an ongoing project of shooting around mid-Tennessee in B&W and much of that is on digital.... so I am back and forth with this... color/B&W/ film/digital.... some of everything.

Have you shot Black and White Film Before? If so, have you seen any difference in your shooting?

Ilford XP2 Super 400 is the only black and white film that can be developed in C-41 process. So it makes it a unique film. Here in Japan where you can develop c-41 in one hour it’s a big deal.

Agreed with all of what you said. Haven't tried Ilford 3200 yet though, guess you just gave me a reason to spend more money on film ;)

I recently shot more ultramax and kodak gold. Cause for the price they are just perfect for what I‘m shooting. But I think I now have to try Ektar 100 because I really liked the colours in the images you showed. Great Video! Keep it up!

A good everyday for me is Kodak gold since it’s always crazy bright in Texas. Love fujicolor 400 too though!

I must not be picky. Really. I cannot say I like any stock for a credible reason. I enjoyed your video so I could make a list of what to try next time.

2:22 SHOT......how about an entire roll LOL.......yeah. Won't misload again though, probably, I hope.

Camera hand strap; where can I get one? How do you like the prime lens?

I agree that this is one of the best, my favorite, I'm looking for black and white films with a little grain, do you have any to recommend? Anyway, I loved the style you edit your videos, hopefully as time goes by you gain recognition. (using the translator, sorry for any mistakes)

Loved this. Simple but complete. New subscriber 🤘

too bad it's $40 here in aus

Why waste this expensive film on… tree branches lol

I haven't personally shot Portra 800, but the results from the video are interesting, I like the more close up shots you showed, also love the color reproduction. I started out with expired Kodak Gold 200, which gave me one of my favorite shots I've done, I've shot a lot of Kodak Ultramax 400 now as it's actually still readily available for a decent price at the Walgreens only a couple blocks from where I live, so it was interesting to see a direct comparison. I get a lot of film from the lab where I usually have my shots developed so next time I'm in I'll see about grabbing a roll and testing it out, my Minolta Himatic AF2 could use a little love anyway lol great video!

I just shot Portra 800 for the first time on my AE1 during my trip to the PNW earlier this month. I got some really good results!

It’s too bad many young photographers of today weren’t around during film’s heyday. In hindsight I was lucky to have been involved from the 60s, 70s and 80s when the choices were almost limitless. Film stocks like the undisputed king of color - Kodachrome - from back when the processing for it was available, Fuji Superia Reala 100, Ilford’s early stuff, Agfa, Adox, and so many more amazing films were plentiful and relatively cheap at around $2 per roll with processing and prints for another $2 or $3. I agree about the quality of the Kodak Portra line, especially the 800, but I’m sorry for you guys that the cost of film has risen so high. Film photography is such fun but the current costs have made it only accessible to those with lots of cash. Keep creating and embracing film. Magic is in your hands.

An absolute favorite of mine!

This was really well made and entertaining!

Just came across your work. I love the videos, and as someone who's getting back into film, I find this content to be gold.

Digital media is that, its cheap and disposable. Shoot 200 frames, pic the best, delete the rest. Considering most rolls of 35mm film are 24 or 36 exp, you’ll be soon slowing down as the thought of cost looms ahead. One medium format you have even less.. 8 or 12 shots per roll so you think about it before going ahead.

It comes down to scanning, Portra 800 has the best underexposure capability of any color film available today if you scan it right. You can really control the look by over or underexposing it. You can shoot it at 1600 without pushing it no problem.

Very well-made video and an excellent film stock recommendation! Thanks!

I shoot Kodak gold 200 its good but not much flexibility in low light conditions. but its great in daylight!

Gold is great at everything and it's so good in 120 that I've swapped over portra for all portrait work I do!

I have a full Nikon film system, which includes my first SLR and lens purchased in 1981, and several FE2s and other glass acquired much more recently. I definitely agree with you on how deliberate film shooting is these days. However, back when film was the only option, and digital was non-existent, I shot much more like I do digital now. I took more shots of the same subject, changing perspective and bracketing in an effort to capture the perfect image. As with many photographers, if I was very happy with three to five shots out of a roll of 36 exposures, that was typical. Nowadays with film, I am more deliberate, and this results in a higher hit rate, but there are several primary reasons for this. The first is being more deliberate, and one cause of this is the high cost of film today. The second is my experience gained over the years, which includes via the use of digital cameras. I would not refer to digital as "soulless", as it has resulted in many valuable images captured on the years - it is just another tool in my bag. Several years back, I was in Washington State on a quick trip to visit my wife's aunt. While there, we decided to take a few hours to see a local landmark. Not having planned to do any sightseeing, I did not bring my DSLR system, so was taking shots with my iPhone. That's when I overheard a young lady, who was holding an entry level DSLR, comment to her dad that shooting with a cellphone was beyond her - obviously referring to me. Although I had a mind to, I did not bother to correct her. As any photographer worth his salt knows, it is the person behind the lens, not the camera, that makes the shot. From my humble perspective, I believe you are a photographer worth his salt. I just think as a content creator seeking a larger audience, it is better to avoid judgmental wording, or explain your choice of words if you truly believe that way.

Fuji x-tra superia 400 was my go to. It was the cheapest film stock and I prefered the green/magenta tones. It gave a little pop to greens and browns, with an overall neutral color balance in daylight. The original Jumanji movie is what comes to mind when it comes to the color tones it produces. I don't know if they use the same formula anymore (heard that it became repackaged Kodak gold during the pandemic), and it definitely isn't the cheapest and most ubiquitous color film that can be found, it seems that title goes to Kodak ultramax or Gold. I went mostly digital several years back and haven't bought Superia 400 since 2019.

Mainly use portra for more serious shoots. But Gold is becoming my Go-to! I do enjoy ultramax when I want colours that are a bit more punchy though (ektar is out of my budget for just casual shooting).

Gold is by far my favourite, I'm an evangelist for the stuff. Hate using 35mm portra, gold all the way! Love it in medium format too! Got 3 or 4 rolls of it on the go right now

Yep.... me too. I keep Gold 200 and Kodak 400 most of the time because they work pretty good for me. What I find I most hate about photography is having to deal with the stinking computer. Truly, I HATE dealing with computers.

Mechanic dials for most imporant settings is what makes me enjoy film photography more. With my canon new f-1 I shoot only in manual mode but with my digital canon it's pain in the ass to manually change settings and automatic modes don't look good most of the times. My experience with the digital is constant fighting with poor UX in menus, terrible ergonomics and photoshoping every image because it doesn't look good enough :/

Gold STAYS in the rotation 🗣️🔥

Gold is great stock to keep on hand, for sure. Your photos are nice, thanks for sharing.

My films got X-rayed.... oh well lol

Amo la fotografía analógica " pero hoy dia es un lujo como lo fue en sus principios.....no apta para jubilados pobres.tengo mi coleccion de camaras que hago funcionar en seco" de vez en cuando, y eso es todo.....😢😢😢😢 .

Дякую за чудовий контент!

I have a K-5 DSLR that I hardly use anymore, but my analogue flock is quite satisfying to me: K1000, KM, KX, K2, MX, LX and 2 MEs. Love these machines to bits...

great. keep doing these photo walks. You pictures are much better than many popular YT photographers

I really like your stance on carrying extra rolls. Alsom we both found Ultramax at walgreens in a pinch! Good to see another film photographer who has a lot of good stuff to tell the masses. Love your work and points! Keep making more please :)
