KingJvpes Hey! Your videos are so helpful, thanks sooo much! I’m really happy that I stumbled across your channel cause I just got a film camera with a broken light meter 😩 I was wondering if you could go a little more in detail about the myLightMeter app? The last step you mentioned was to match it up with the camera. But how do you choose which settings to use? f/1.4? f/2? Etc. Thanks again for your videos!
Hey Buddy ! u forgot to talk about “film pushing” in your vid. I’m new to analog photography and I want to know, if it is possible to shoot at night with 200 iso 🙆🏻♂️. Anyways, nice vids bud, the help a lot ! Keep it up 👌🏻.
Hello, I have a question about the light meter app... I'm new to this so, please bear with me here. When I measure my subject or photo with the app, is there a marker that will tell me the ideal settings to enter into my camera?
My other recommendation is to try the Kodak Portra 800 for night photography. Please try bracketing your shots by starting at wide open on your aperture ring and shoot at different F stops for each frame because you would see the light difference in your shots. Peace, Flood!
In my opinion its worth grabbing a tripod to get longer exposures, this way you can get a sharper image with something like an f/8 or f/11. You also wouldn't be limited to a super high ISO film to get enough exposure, so you can get a less grainy shot by using a 400 film. However my advice would be bad if your subject is moving/human, as they would turn out super blurry. Great for street photography tho!
Picked up a Canon xs 35mm with exposure cable for 25 from eBay. Then paired it with the nifty fifty for 65 bucks used. So far the photos are coming out great. Looks a thousand times better than when I was using my dslrs
Do you have a video on indoor photography?? Something like what to take on a cruise. That will have a wide range of light. From outdoor, beach, inside?
One other tip that I use for night street shooting is to expose for the subject rather than the highlights (digital) or shadows (film). Loving your channel and binging some of your older videos since I am getting back into film shooting.
I just purchased my first “real” camera. I picked up a canon eos-650 also picked up a Nikon d3000. But your videos are so informative I have to thank you for that! Your pics are amazing! Keep up the good work!
Please do More point and Shoot Videos 🙏🏽 there are still a lot of Beginners like me that only have point and shoot 35mm film Cameras. Big Viewfinder Fuji Camera to be Exact
In video you hit 20k subscribers now you are at almost 120k! Congratulations. Good work. I just picked up a x 700. Now I'm leaning about it. I've come to realize night photography is my favorite.
Yo my boy, I've been waiting for this, since I discovered your channel earlier last week. You are doing an incredibly useful and helpful thing here, I've started shooting film just because of you, got 2 rolls finished so far, and I'm obsessed with film photography! Thank you very much. I wanna start shooting at night as soon as I get my Canon ef 50mm f/1.8 lens, so I'm pretty excited.
Hi, I'd suggest not to just follow the LightMeter at night. Reciprocity ( schwarzschild effect ) has to be taken into consideration for long exposures. Opening the lens to lowest f-stop results in " soft " pictures most times and only gives you a very shallow depth of field. If that's the look you're going for, ok. Otherwise a tripod is mandatory, wich takes high ISO Film out of the equation. Just a suggestion of mine.
My challenge is I have an OM-1 with a working light meter (so I don't carry a light meter) but the light meter works by casting a shadow on the image in the viewfinder. So at night, I can't read the light meter unless I point it at something bright enough, at which point I'm not metering the shot I'm trying to expose.
You're such a good photographer nowadays, bro. It's hard not to look sadly at my small, dry portfolio, but I just gotta use it as inspiration. Love you, man. Pause.
Hey brother love this. I'm a beginner at film photography and I was wondering if I get a 200 Iso film for example. Then I should always set the camera Iso to 200 or can I play around with it
Your videos are great and very informative. Fuji Natura 1600 is hard if not impossible to find nowadays. Do you have a recommendation for a comparable film stock - as far as look and performance? It's a shame they don't make it anymore.
Great vid! I've recently started to learn film photography and your videos are very helpful. A video where you do night shots with a 35mm would be a rad follow up. Keep it up dude!
I dig the vid, man. Natura is hands down my favorite color film. The extra speed aside, during the day it gives some excellent pastel and soft tones. Killer stuff.
Good video. However i find that you talked about generic and basic aspects. I would like to ask you, what should you consider to meter in order to expose properly at night, especially portraits, in diferent scenenarios.
I enjoyed the video. I am currently shooting a Yashica 35 Electro GSN for my new Vintage Camera Book. I am hoping to add some info about low light photography - something that I have enjoyed with digital and although I have been shooting film since the 70s I have not done much low light photography with film. Many thanks.
Dude!!! Thank you so much for this video. I have a Minolta Maxxum 5000i and I am going on a camping trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I will be on the Lake Superior lakeshore and plan on shooting the night sky, it is a dark sky area so there is zero artificial light. Being a total newb, what is the best way to do this? Just follow your steps in the video? Or is there more I need to do? I have two lenses, a tripod and time. Normally I use my iPhone for pictures, but I bought this camera off Craigslist, it was gone through by the local camera shop and is in prime condition.
Many thanks to KingJvpes. I have watched your every single videos. It’s amazing and extremely helpful for the people who are shooting film photography. Many of many respects to you. Keep up your great works. Can’t wait to see more and more of your video. Thanks a lot!
Great video. This has been something I’ve wanted to ask for awhile and you explained it perfectly. Side note: is there anyway you can do a video or a series of videos over flash photography for film cameras? That’s another thing that would be nice to know.
Hey man, great video! Do you have any advice for swapping films? Like I wanna take pictures during the day but also at night at the same time. Do I swap films or can I keep using a single film with the same iso?
Great video as usual! Always enlightening. Also, I'm glad you had a mention of "pushing" film. I had recently gotten interested in doing this, and i think it would be great for me and other folks if you could go a but more in depth with pushing/pulling your iso, how to do it, how it influences the images, when to utilize it, etc.
Love these videos! Thanks for sharing, i use a Canon F1n, Canon A1 EOS 3 for film. burt i do havea few Nikons and Pantax's in my "Home Museum"! Keep up the great work! Do you develop yourself or have a lab do them for you?
Hello man! Found your channel recently and these film photography tips are really helpful. Could you do a tutorial for how you usualy develop your photos and if there are any tips? Thanks and looking forward to more videos and tutorials.
I use older cameras that usually do not allow me to go over 400. What do you recommend in this case? I have an electro 35 which works in aperture priority but it's Max iso setting is 1000, my rollei xf 35 won't let me go over iso 400. My Minolta autocord is all manual by the lens is f3.5 :(
Awesome stuff man! My mother just gave me here Minolta srt200! So im diving in! Ive learned alot from your videos thank you for putting in the time to release all this content.
I really like your videos, I just started shooting film. I wanted to ask, how you digitalize your film? do you use scanner to scan it? I saw folks taking a picture of film with macro lens, I just wonder what is the best option. Because I don't like the results that my lab provides.
Your videos have inspired me into getting into film, and within a weekend of getting my Nikon F4s and shooting a roll on it, I was already thrifting to get my second film body. Keep up the good work, you're building such an awesome community in the photography world!
Hi King Jvpes, Tryna shoot some night photos on my Point and shoot Konica Genba Kantoku 35mm (f/3.5 with shutter speeds of 1/4 to 1/280). Any suggestions on which film to get and how to get some good quality shots? Quite a beginner thats why i only have a point and shoot 😅
yo king! just subscribed, im looking to pick up a used canon a1, comes with the 50 1.8.... but I am also thinking of getting the fd 50 1.4.... the difference between the 1.8 and 1.4 good enough for the purchase? also any tips or advice with the canon a1? bless up - Toronto Canada and Lorca Spain
So if I keep my aperture low (between 1.4 and 2 for example) and shoot on aperture priority using Cinestill 800t, do I need to set my cameras ISO to 800? Or do I push it.
Hi,if i want to take photo at night using portra 400 so my shutter speed should be 1/500 right. So i just need to change the aperture right. The lowest aperture? Or if night still to change shutter speed?
I have a Pentax k1000 and I want to be able to take photos outside when it’s pretty dark (without any light source like in the woods) what kind of flash do I buy for it?
What’s guccii familia! Leave a comment if you enjoyed the video and also drop a like if you wanna see some long exposures in a future video!!
long expos for sure

Hello,
I have a question about the light meter app...
I'm new to this so, please bear with me here.
When I measure my subject or photo with the app, is there a marker that will tell me the ideal settings to enter into my camera?
What does the iso 100 ev bit mean on that app?
Just getting into film photography and I’ve been binge watching your videos, they’re so helpful!!
Sunny Irene same
Me too! I have a fully manual Pentax Spotmatic SP2
Same! Lol
Sameee!! I got my parents Olympus OM10
My other recommendation is to try the Kodak Portra 800 for night photography. Please try bracketing your shots by starting at wide open on your aperture ring and shoot at different F stops for each frame because you would see the light difference in your shots. Peace, Flood!
evelasq1 Flood! Great point, bracketing can save your life lol.
KingJvpes You have to keep in mind when you’re wide open, you’re creating a shallow depth of field. :) Peace, Flood!

However my advice would be bad if your subject is moving/human, as they would turn out super blurry. Great for street photography tho!
Portra 400 also looks pretty good when pushed to 800. So that's another color film option.
Roberto Martinez never tried it! Should I?
KingJvpes Go for it! I've seen amazing results for Portra 400 pushed to 1600 and Portra 800 pushed to 3200!
It has beautiful colours, crazy film
Roberto M YES.
Thanks for that tip.ive just got a roll of portra400
Portra 400 at night plays with colours too much. I'd recommend Fujifilm Superia X-tra
Picked up a Canon xs 35mm with exposure cable for 25 from eBay. Then paired it with the nifty fifty for 65 bucks used. So far the photos are coming out great. Looks a thousand times better than when I was using my dslrs
I have been using Kodak Portra 400 for low light portraits. Works amazing
19 year old and I just started shooting film with an old zenit 12 xp, your videos have been very helpful and I can’t wait to develop my first roll!
Did you developed your first roll?
@@palomaibarra7057 yep, half of them were okay but there were some overexposed which was my fault of course
THANK YOU! I’ve researched shooting at night but you explained it best and made it seem so easy! Definitely will go out shooting tonight
Do you have a video on indoor photography?? Something like what to take on a cruise. That will have a wide range of light. From outdoor, beach, inside?
Hardest part of photography is juggling between aperture (light & DOF) and shutter spd (light & blur) during slow and quick moments.
One other tip that I use for night street shooting is to expose for the subject rather than the highlights (digital) or shadows (film). Loving your channel and binging some of your older videos since I am getting back into film shooting.
Kodak P3200 TMAX is not actually 3200 iso but more like 1600 iso. It's called 3200 beacuse it can be pushed to 3200 iso.
How does I have to set up my camera before shooting? ISO 1600 or 3200?
What does that even mean?
I just purchased my first “real” camera. I picked up a canon eos-650 also picked up a Nikon d3000. But your videos are so informative I have to thank you for that! Your pics are amazing! Keep up the good work!

All the same principles apply with any camera. The best camera you can ever own, is the one you have with you!
Bro your videos are top tier on film photography!
Thankyou for answering my rookie questions .. and some bonus things I would never have thought of 🙌🙌
In video you hit 20k subscribers now you are at almost 120k! Congratulations. Good work. I just picked up a x 700. Now I'm leaning about it. I've come to realize night photography is my favorite.
I'm shooting with a Rolleiflex 2.8a! shutterpriority maxes our at 1/350, f/2.8! Film is a new skill I'm learning
You got me excited for shooting film at night!
Always had a interest in cameras and photography especially film cameras and haven’t really pursued them till now😂
Once again clear and precise. Good one. McIntyre.

David Bricquet I appreciate YOU David, thank you!
You're such a good photographer nowadays, bro. It's hard not to look sadly at my small, dry portfolio, but I just gotta use it as inspiration. Love you, man. Pause.
My Minolta X-700 only goes to ISO 1600. Do I compensate by raising my shutter speed by 1 stop when taking a photo?
Man thank you for this I just bought a canon eos elan and I’ve been having problems shooting at night so this really helped me out 🙏🏼
Hey ! I just started watching your videos but I know I'll be watching a lot more. Nice work man.
Hey brother love this. I'm a beginner at film photography and I was wondering if I get a 200 Iso film for example. Then I should always set the camera Iso to 200 or can I play around with it
love that minolta gang hotshoe cover!
Your videos are great and very informative. Fuji Natura 1600 is hard if not impossible to find nowadays. Do you have a recommendation for a comparable film stock - as far as look and performance? It's a shame they don't make it anymore.
VERY good instructional video. Learned all I need to know, thanks!
so helpful- thank you!
man, i love your content !
Shooting at night unlocked✌🏼
Thanks G!! I've been learning so much about film cameras with your videos.
Much love from Spain!! ✌🏼❤️🇪🇸
P3200 is closer to ASA 1000. Using an IR flash with Superpan 200 might be interesting.
Great vid! I've recently started to learn film photography and your videos are very helpful. A video where you do night shots with a 35mm would be a rad follow up. Keep it up dude!
Been waiting for this one😍😎
I dig the vid, man. Natura is hands down my favorite color film. The extra speed aside, during the day it gives some excellent pastel and soft tones. Killer stuff.

How do you set the ISO to 3200 on an X700 when 1600 is the limit on the dial?
I apologize if a dumb question but do you use a flash when shooting neon light sources at night?
Many thanks to KingJvpes.
I have watched your every single videos. It’s amazing and extremely helpful for the people who are shooting film photography.
Many of many respects to you. Keep up your great works. Can’t wait to see more and more of your video.

Very very well explained.
learned so much from your videos brother. thank you!
Some really nice colours and shots man. Enjoyed this vid
A tripod with a shutter cable can be really useful if you're using a shutter speed that is below 125
Superia 800 is also a great night film on a budget.
Cheers for the tips
Thanks! Hmm and if shooting with a slower lens, say 3.5... I guess a tripod is the only way....?
Great video as usual! Always enlightening. Also, I'm glad you had a mention of "pushing" film.

You take good photos!!!
Do you meter to the light? Or meter to the darkness around the light?
love your channel.
Nice vid JP! Keep up the amazing work! :)
Awesome stuff man! My mother just gave me here Minolta srt200! So im diving in! Ive learned alot from your videos thank you for putting in the time to release all this content.
love all your tutorials man!
I love your vídeos, i learn a lot, but I would like exemplos too, some pics man 🙅🏽♂️🎞 nice job
Wooow this is what I waiting for !!
Thank you.
Getting my ISO lesson in here, smoke me out KJ :)
ChristianFilardo HAH
Your tutorials are outstanding!Love your work.
good info bro have u ever tried bulb mode with a external timer
Bro, what’s Minolta’s professional-level 35mm camera(s)? Do you have a video on it?
Hi there. Do you recommend purchasing the basic or Pro version of the lightmeter app?
Thank you for this video! And thank you for using Minolta x700! 🎉🙏
I have Fuji 400 and Kodak Gold 200 on deck. Any tips on how I should I have my settings?
I really like your videos, I just started shooting film. I wanted to ask, how you digitalize your film? do you use scanner to scan it? I saw folks taking a picture of film with macro lens, I just wonder what is the best option. Because I don't like the results that my lab provides.
The Kodak p3200 is not an actual 3200 iso film. It's only 1000 iso but it can be underexposed very well.
Growing solid man, great images!
I wonder if the quality of your phone's camera affects the performance of the light meter app. I know my phone has garbo low light vision in general.
Your videos have inspired me into getting into film, and within a weekend of getting my Nikon F4s and shooting a roll on it, I was already thrifting to get my second film body. Keep up the good work, you're building such an awesome community in the photography world!
I love this brother. thank you!
Just finished shooting my first film, how bad would it be shooting a 100 iso black and white and actually having the iso at 100
nice recycled skateboard shutter release button ✨
Hi King Jvpes,
Tryna shoot some night photos on my Point and shoot Konica Genba Kantoku 35mm (f/3.5 with shutter speeds of 1/4 to 1/280). Any suggestions on which film to get and how to get some good quality shots? Quite a beginner thats why i only have a point and shoot 😅
I wouldn’t bother shooting at night with an f3.5 aperture tbh
yo king! just subscribed, im looking to pick up a used canon a1, comes with the 50 1.8.... but I am also thinking of getting the fd 50 1.4.... the difference between the 1.8 and 1.4 good enough for the purchase? also any tips or advice with the canon a1? bless up - Toronto Canada and Lorca Spain
man I love your vids so much
noor meryem thanks man ✌🏽❤️
This Channel is so helpful, Thank You So Much! Subscribed.
So if I keep my aperture low (between 1.4 and 2 for example) and shoot on aperture priority using Cinestill 800t, do I need to set my cameras ISO to 800? Or do I push it.
I’m about to shoot 400 pushed to 1600 tonight for the first time.. wish me luck.
go ahead
Hi,if i want to take photo at night using portra 400 so my shutter speed should be 1/500 right. So i just need to change the aperture right. The lowest aperture?
Or if night still to change shutter speed?
Great video dude next up night time POV shoot ?
Murphys Film Is that a challenge?
I have a Pentax k1000 and I want to be able to take photos outside when it’s pretty dark (without any light source like in the woods) what kind of flash do I buy for it?
A big one
great content!!! ✨✨✨
Can I use Lux as a lightmeter ?
