The production quality of your videos are absolutely first class. So much fun to watch! Listening to your thought process behind the stills are a total bonus. Thanks for the quality content.
Maaannnnn another banger video with incredible photos! Love that you're open and even show the photos that are "bad", seriously can't wait for this book to see your work in person!!
This video style in a story-telling manner is just a very pleasant art. Every time I get an aesthetic enjoyment boost. And I love Washington State and haven't explored much of it, so I strongly appreciate looking at it through your eyes, especially at the moody shots (although it is hard to find something not moody in Washington, haha). Thank you for sharing.
Wow, thank you so much for the compliment. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to watch and give that feedback! Washington definitely has some beautiful scenery in just about every season. More from a different area of WA in the next one 🙏
So good. I’ve had a roll of Gold 200 in my Mamiya Super for a couple of weeks, but have been too nervous to shoot “the right thing” that I haven’t shot anything. This is just what I needed to get out next week and finish a roll to start learning.
Love to hear that! Cool that you have the same camera, it’s such a fun little box haha. Gold 200 is a great stock, shot it in Arizona in another video a while back and I was pretty surprised how much I liked it. Happy shooting 🤘
Man, I’m glad TH-cam recommended your channel to me. You have my favorite color grading style that I’ve seen on the internet. I’m pretty new to color grading (& really suck at it at the moment) so it’s cool to see something to strive for.
Everything after the intro montage is from Epidemic Sound. At this point though I couldn’t tell you the name or artist, you’d have the same shot at finding it as I would 😅
I have never really been a big fan of Landscape photography, but your video and photos have inspired me. Now I want to go out and try some landscape photography out here in Colorado.
Bro, the shots are to die for. Absolutely dripping with toneh. Pretty sure I’m gonna have to plan a drive through this part of the states sometime next year. Fall colors down here in Texas blow.
Amazing video and photos man. really liked it! do you have any separate video about your developing process? im also into film and I'm thinking about starting developing my own rolls too. amazing content again, keep it up 💪
Hey thanks so much! I don’t, but I could maybe do that at some point. I’ll throw it in the hat, haha. Developing is super fun and not difficult once you do it a few times, I’d highly recommended it!
Incredible video and photos. I definitely got to step my game up if you're out here in Washington creating content of this level! Just subscribed and excited to see what you capture next!
Appreciate you watching, Travis! You came up in conversation on this trip - we went further west in the next few videos coming up. Beautiful over there.
Great footage, I’ll have to watch this again on my TV. I see where you were going with the waterfall image, funny thing about composition I learned when I started to paint is that the details, such as the logs piling up at the base of the frame kind of redirect the composition. Ultimately I would paint a combination of the two images from a slightly, and impractical to photograph from angle-and it is that image, that as a photographer, I would fantasize about going back to shoot a higher vantage point. Finally accepting what I cannot change, because either image is beautiful. I love the red leaves… I wonder how much iron oxide red I have on hand.
Thank you for the kind words, it's cool to hear your perspective as a painter and how you think through a scene like that. Appreciate you sharing your insight!
Just found your channel, and I love it. I’m still new to film photography and making videos around it, and this has inspired me. I’ve realized just how big of a difference color grading can make, and yours is amazing. Definitely going to work on it and try to put my spin on things like you have. Love the vid man, excited for new videos!
Great photos as always! I'm curious, how do you like that skier box for scanning, looking at switching my scanning setup as i find I get a lot of light leaks and flares out of my negative supply gear.
I actually really like it. Before this, I tried using a Kaiser light table because everyone recommended it and I had weird grid patterned and uneven light. The skier box has been a joy.
Hey, thank you! I actually just shoot raw when I use digital cameras. I know the simulations are popular and fun for a lot of people, they just don't really mesh well with my workflow.
@@DylanSpitz are you postprocess your digital footage? video? cause your film portra 800 looks exactly same as video... It's just reminds me something like Kodak Vision3 250-500D, or maybe Cinestill 800T, or in my tiny universe Classic Chrome, edited Fuji ;-)
Absolutely beautiful content and production, I would love to see the post production process of achieving such grading and quality, please consider making a rough video about it we would appreciate!
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words, I really appreciate that! 🫶 I currently only have photo presets available on my website, but I am hoping to work on some video creation assets soon!
Thank you! That’s correct, however, I just process at box speed. The point of me shooting at 400 is so everything is overexposed by a stop. Hope that makes sense!
New sub from me - lovely, ethereal, aesthetics from you all the way through this video! I do have to buck the trend though and ask what camera bag is in this and which North Face jacket it is you're wearing? I love orange and black combos!!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you subscribing. The bag is one I’ve had for years from lowepro, there’s actually a link to it in the description of my latest video that came out yesterday. The north face jacket is a rain shell that I snagged at REI!
@DylanSpitz thanks so much for replying. I think I may have found the jacket but it's taken half of the internet/reddit to help me! Is it the North Face Venture?
Wonderful video, beautiful colors! I was curious: are you using an anamorphic lens at all or is the letterbox-style format implemented in post-production?
Great shots; looked like a sick trip. No strap on the camera is crazy though 😓 did you have to use a tripod for the gas station shots? if not, any chance you remember the lowest shutter speed you shot at?
Fascinating video (and photos!) so if I understand you correctly, you scan the film with a digital camera and macro lens, import that negative into Lightroom and edit it the way you want from there? That’s pretty cool. Do you ever send in your film to be processed or do you do it all yourself?
@@DylanSpitzI ask this in the most respectful way…what do you like about film cameras versus digital if you still scan the film digitally at the end? I would love to know your opinion. I know a lot of others share your love of film cameras. Is it all in the shooting process or is there a specific look that you like? Thanks for your time!
The process is undeniably more fun and intentional for me. Going all day without looking at a screen is refreshing for the soul sometimes. The results can be cool and interesting as well, but I definitely do it for the process.
Keep it up Dylan inspiring us to get out there and shoot! About to finish my first roll on the ae1! Literally have no idea what I'm doing hardly lol. Appreciate the video and tips in these masterpieces. Saving up for an A7Cii!
Haha, that’s awesome! Thanks, Brock. Don’t worry, we all felt like that our first 5-10 rolls. Means a lot that you enjoy these videos, I appreciate you and the support!
Hey Dylan, You said you set your IS0 to 400 for the portra 800. Did you let the lab know you pulled the film? or did you just let them develop it at box speed (800)? Turned out great!
Thanks! I actually develop and scan everything at home! But no, I wouldn’t tell the lab anything. The purpose of rating it at 400 for me is to purposely overexpose by about 1 stop. To me that’s when the portra films really perform their best and have cleaner shadows.
@DylanSpitz cheers mate! I've been a photographer for 20 years but haven't touched film since highschool. Absolutely loving it. I've been eating portra a stop over but occasionally it seems to go too far over. In camera metre might be playing tricks or metering for the shadows too much
@@DylanSpitz thoroughly enjoyed! Every video gets me one step closer to dusting off the passport. Washington’s tourism board better be giving you some kickbacks 💰 💰 💰
So happy to hear that, man. If you ever visit make sure you let me know so we can link up! I used to work with some tourism boards back in the Midwest, maybe it’s time to reach out to the new home state 😅🫶
I've tried portra 400, 800, Natura 1600. Natura's grain. are. quite big, portra and c200 are much smoottther. if you want predictibility go for portra, if want a cheeaper versiion try Fuji c200
Nice work 👏 You likely answered this in other videos but I'm relatively new to the channel, do you normally photograph using Autofocus or manual focus? 🤔
All of my film cameras are fully manual, so no autofocus there. For digital images I usually am using single point AF, unless I'm tracking a moving subject (I'll use AF-C for that). 👍
@@DylanSpitz Nice! Thanks for the reply, I have a few vintage lenses I'd like to use for photography but wasn't sure how reasonable it was to use manual focus (for video I manually pull focus but for some reason I wasn't sure with photography lol I figure it depends on if it's street, architecture, or an event etc 😄
great quality! Thanks for sharing. Maybe a really stupid question but i have no experience with shooting film. Are those film shots edited afterwards after converting the negative? or is that the result after processing the film only? Keep up the nice vids :)
Hey, thank you! Not a stupid question at all, I had the same confusion when I was first starting out. All the negatives are scanned and dialed in with controls similar to what's found on traditional lab scanners, such as color balance, contrast, brightness, exposure, saturation, etc. as I convert them in the software. Basically, by doing it yourself, you're able to make those decisions rather than a lab technician doing what they feel is best. You can of course then edit them past that however much you'd like after making a .tiff copy in Lightroom if you wish. I find I pretty much never use anything past the negative lab pro controls while converting - it kind of gives me a creative boundary to work within which I enjoy. Hope that makes sense!
I think that’s pretty subjective, really. I’m not THAT unhappy with current prices, given the principles of supply and demand and economics. The way I look at it - shooting film is absolutely an unnecessary expense. And as with all unnecessary or entertainment-based expenses, you justify the price up to your own limits. Do I want it to keep going up? No, lol.
This man is the king of color-grading. Never seen something so beautiful from any other creator
