I love this video so much, the vibes, it's so chilling. This is why I love places like Bali and Hawaii, the beaches are aesthetic, the people living simple lives, the nature,... just something to die for
wow dude that was so good you nailed it, my fave shot was definitely the beach hut, the colours were perfect. i am going to be in bali in 2 wks and i've shot film on and off for years but only on a point and shoot, so i am looking forward to indulging in the balinese landscapes and people with a new cam
Bali was so quiet during Covid...it was definitely weird to see places like tanah lot empty...nice shots, i like the uncertainty that goes with every shots, is it properly exposed, is it in focus...that's what i like when i shoot full manual with a manual lens and the screen turned off...waiting few days or weeks before checking the pictures on the computer. Suksma bli for sharing
Absolutely love this so much! Just bought a bunch of cameras and there happened to be a FM2 in the lot. I had never heard of it before, so I had to check out some videos. Yours is great and your photos are even better! :D
Hi just subscribed and you hit 10k, congrats! Your videos are super helpful and I love them. Been getting into photography recently and your videos have been a huuuuge help. Amazing channel!
“Hey cow” lol this was a fun watch Sean. Sounds like film really brings out your creativity. I love all the portraits, like that lady with the offering baskets, and the beach shack. Keep it up!!
I started photography at age 16 with a Nikon F Photomic (film camera) I bought used. Still own a couple of Nikon film cameras. Since this is 2024, I'll try to shoot one or two rolls per year. Thanks for posting your video.
Great job Sean! My favorite shot is the one with the cat sitting down and the sight line down the street. Great video. Very interesting to watch. ❤️😍🥰😘
Loved this video! I love how you described your film photography inspiring you to shoot just anything. I feel the exact same way! I’m just now working on shooting a film roll! Do you ship yours to be developed?
Hey Sean, nice to see you trying film. Although not too old, I’m in photography for 47 years, so I grew up with developers and I was drinking fixers, hahaha... 7 Leicas, 2 Hasselblads, 6 Nikons, 2 Pentax 67, some Rollei and Fuji 6x9 too in 30 years of my film life. Then, digital arrived... I would love to shoot film again, my Leica M3 is crying, but I’m oh, SO lazy to develop the photos...
Hey Jordan, thanks for watching! That's awesome you started your journey back in the day with film, I'd love to try those cameras. I will never give up digital lol, but film is really fun to shoot. I just get my film developed at a lab, they're really good at what they do!
It amazes me you can underexpose two rolls of film on a trip. The Nikon FM2 has one of the most reliable and accurate lightmeters in 35mm SLRs. Professionals have used the FM2 as a handy backup camera. Its compact shape was in tune with many camera makers who tried to make their gear lighter. Nikon made the FM2 lighter but did not sacrifice quality. Still love film photography, just wish we had more color/E6 labs too.
Before I begin let me just say I wish I found you sooner. Just found you on skillshare and watching your newest class. You are super easy to watch and understand. Great content so far. I am hoping you can help me. I have a canon sl2 which of course is a crop sensor camera. I have the 18-55 and want to upgrade but not break the bank I just purchased the Sigma 100mm and the 10-18 mm and the 50 mm. My style of photography is landscape, street, and night time photos. I was thinking the 50 and 100 are great for nighttime and street and the 10-18 for landscape and vlogging. What do you think? Is there a better lens I could have gone with? TIA
Hi Rita! I apologize for the late reply but better late than never right? :) Thank you for watching my content and engaging with it as well, I appreciate it! I think the lenses you picked up are amazing, don't think you made a mistake at all. You have a really great range there!
Hey man, recently stumbled onto your Chanel and was wondering if you haven't already, could you cover a video on MM lens size and how to know the right one to use and when? I'm just starting to get into it. Thanks in advance.
Really cool! I used to always shoot film... Still have my dad's Nikon F401... Maybe I should get back to it... But I also need to master this digital Nikon D5600 haha hahaha
haha, that's an awesome camera. The 5600 is also a great camera to master the basics on. Film definitely requires a better understanding of the exposure triangle but once you get it its easy peasy.
hi Sean, Great content mannn. by the way, can we make our digital shots like this film shot with a preset? if so, would love to have this preset thanks !
Hey, i bought this recently. It always shows -ve sign in exposure meter, even if i point it toward Direct sunlight. I haven't loaded any film yet.but Do i have to load it then only will it show me the reading??
Do you think you can share a little more about the process of shooting film? You always said when shooting digital you shoot in aperture priority is the same with film ? or in this case you have to go with the exposure? sorry these are basic questions for begginers but maybe you can cover that :)thank u
Good question :) Apologies for the late reply. I usually shoot film in full manual because exposure is very very important, and the old meters aren't as reliable as the new ones. If I am shooting with a newer film camera I'll use aperture priority, but I believe shooting full manual is one of the beautiful parts of film!
@@seandalt never is too late :) I have a Pentax k100 and I’ve tried two films the past month first one black and white exposure priority and some pictures were very dark some other were ok even respecting the meter one point under pictures were sooo underexposed second film I did play a little more but all of them are underexposed so I don’t even know if the meter is working properly or it’s my non experience shooting film because some pictures were ok and you helped me a lot with digital so I’m very intrigued about film
@@darkjolie Its possible your light meter is busted. I recommend using one of the light meter apps on the App Store! They’re amazing. Also, try metering for the shadows to ensure your photos aren’t underexposed. You can test the light meter on your camera against the iPhone app to see if it lines up
Hey,can u do a video about how to get everything in focus in landscape images when taking wide and tight shots,when there are two subjects really close and far(landscape),where to focus, aperture,.. plz it will really helpful for beginner photographers like me
Getting more things in focus is called "a deep depth of field" and you achieve this by increasing the aperture, which is easy for daylight landscapes because there's a lot of light to go around. I recommend playing around with simulator: www.canonoutsideofauto.ca/play/ It helped me a lot when I became interested in photography because it took me while before i was able to buy my first camera. Have fun!
I love this video so much, the vibes, it's so chilling. This is why I love places like Bali and Hawaii, the beaches are aesthetic, the people living simple lives, the nature,... just something to die for
Beautiful comment, thank you for watching and I am glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
You got some fantastic shots! I'm new to film as well, definitely gonna have to try out both film stocks!

Thank you! Thanks for subbing and glad to have you as part of the crew :) Sorry for the late reply haha
Nicely done, I really enjoyed the photo walk. My favorite shots were of the guy prepping his bar, the one just before he posed for you.
“Hey cow” lol this was a fun watch Sean. Sounds like film really brings out your creativity. I love all the portraits, like that lady with the offering baskets, and the beach shack. Keep it up!!
lol sheer disappointment when I thought he was gonna move. Thanks Laura, was really fun shooting film!
great shots! are these shots straight out the camera or are they edited?
I started photography at age 16 with a Nikon F Photomic (film camera) I bought used.
Still own a couple of Nikon film cameras. Since this is 2024, I'll try to shoot one or two rolls per year.
Thanks for posting your video.
Great job Sean! My favorite shot is the one with the cat sitting down and the sight line down the street. Great video. Very interesting to watch. ❤️😍🥰😘
I love that one too :)
Nice ! You even captured the Bali gangsters lol
haha, gotta love the Pecalang!
9:07 that lady offered you to come by, so sweet
I know :) the Balinese are lovely
thank you for visiting,friend 😄enjoy your holiday 🙌
Thank you!
Loved this video! I love how you described your film photography inspiring you to shoot just anything. I feel the exact same way! I’m just now working on shooting a film roll! Do you ship yours to be developed?
I have a local lab here in Bali that develops for me!
Nice photos I particularly liked the side of the building shot.
Hey Paul much appreciated man. I actually loved that one too, one of my favs from the day
I'm obsessed !! amazing
Thank you Claire! Appreciate you

Any recommendations in which Nikon to get, F3 or FM2?
@@Raffnunez FM2 is great, F3 is even better.
What metering app did you use!? Great vid! Nailed the photos!
this video inspires me to go back out and do some street photography
Glad to hear that man, get our there! These photo walks are a blast
Beautiful pictures, so nicely done.
Good composition, and exposure was pretty dang good, too.
Hey thank you for that, appreciate it! Pretty stoked with how the images came out. I really enjoy shooting film.
@@seandalt I look forward to seeing more film videos from your channel.
Nicely done 👍Like your präsentation style😀
Thank you! New video up :)
You seem like a very nice person, I enjoyed this alot. Keep loving your art
Much love Garrett, thank you for the comment man!
Great video!
What are you using to meter for your film camera?
Thank you! I was just using a simple iphone app to meter

If you're coming from digital to analog, it's easy to unintentionally underexpose. The inverse is true as well

nice photos!!!
Thank you!
Excuse me, i want to ask what lens you use. Is it 50mm f1.8 pancake? Or not pancake? Thankyou
Amazing Captured. What happened to ur fm2 inbuilt light meter? Any way ur pics are amazing
Just wasn't working properly unfortunately. But thank you for the love!
What might meter app would you best recommend? Just got my fm2 still learning, developed a couple rows, and they all came out like trash lol
They have a film lab is awesome! How many people in the area shoot film I wonder?
Actually, a TON. Film is very popular here, we have a few good film labs
Hey man, recently stumbled onto your Chanel and was wondering if you haven't already, could you cover a video on MM lens size and how to know the right one to use and when? I'm just starting to get into it. Thanks in advance.
Hey Jeremy appreciate the love man. Great idea for a video topic, I will definitely make that!
Nice channel bro.... Keep going.... You will have lots of followers soon
Much appreciated my man. Thank you for being here 🙏🏼
Here is a tip;when shoot 400 ISO any 400 ISO you will meter the shoot at ISO 320
Good tip!
Really cool! I used to always shoot film... Still have my dad's Nikon F401... Maybe I should get back to it... But I also need to master this digital Nikon D5600 haha
hahaha
Incidentally this reminds me of my two years in India
haha, that's an awesome camera. The 5600 is also a great camera to master the basics on. Film definitely requires a better understanding of the exposure triangle but once you get it its easy peasy.
@@seandalt I concur!!!
I want to eventually dabble in astrophotography but I am not there yet!
What specific 35mm lens did you use?
Very dope photos. You ever tried using a pro mist filter?
Hey bro, thank you! Actually never have. It's something I'd like to try!
Are you using an app to determine the cameras settings to get the right exposure? 😯
Or did I get that wrong?
Yep :) this cameras light meter doesn’t work great so I’m using a smartphone app
Sean Dalton which app is that?
hi Sean, Great content mannn.
by the way, can we make our digital shots like this film shot with a preset?
if so, would love to have this preset
thanks !
Hey thanks for watching! Yes, can totally edit digital photos to look like this :) My portrait presets are very film-like
@@seandalt Oh i see. Thank a lot :)
Amazinggg
Thank youuuuuu :)
nice shot on bike
panning
Thanks Richard, was pumped that it came out!
Hey, i bought this recently. It always shows -ve sign in exposure meter, even if i point it toward Direct sunlight. I haven't loaded any film yet.but Do i have to load it then only will it show me the reading??
Looks amazing
Thank you Elijah!
What app do you use on your phone for exposure ?
I don't remember the name of the app, but pretty much any light meter app works perfectly fine
do you develop the film yourself?
Do you think you can share a little more about the process of shooting film? You always said when shooting digital you shoot in aperture priority is the same with film ? or in this case you have to go with the exposure? sorry these are basic questions for begginers but maybe you can cover that :)thank u

Hey Hevin! I actually have a video that covers this topic quite a bit. You can find it here: th-cam.com/video/UcLthaaOSk4/w-d-xo.html
❤️
Saya suka foto-foto kamu. Salam hangat dari Lombok, Indonesia.
Hii Sean, Aplikasi apa yang kamu pakai untuk menentukan Exposure ? 🙏🏻 Itu sangat menarik dan Foto yang indah !
I am so sorry but I cannot speak Bahasa Indonesia!
Hope the businesses there will pick up soon, they are hard hit by Covid. Love to go there, people are super duper nice
It’s getting better in certain areas, but lost of the island is still hurting quite bad. I think things will improve later this year.
But yes, the Balinese are so lovely. Truly amazing people.
Hey bro where r u, I just discovered n subscribed u but u r not active from a long time
Hey bro, I'm still here. I have some new content coming out soon. Excited to get back into it.
I like your eye
Thank you Waylon!
keren banget videonya :)
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Do u have IG? What film do u use?
All types of film :) I'm on IG! @seandalt
old camera giveaway🥺
With film you'll be fine even if over you exposed it by 2 stops.
Exactly!
he said neekon
I used to say Nighkon (All American's do!) but Neekon is actually the correct pronunciation. Japanese pronounce Ni at Nee, not Nigh.
What app do you use to establish your exposure??
I don't remember the name of this app, it was just a general light meter app on the app store
