Thank you for this video. I’m a recovering native New Yorker so I’m a sucker for NYC photography. Forgive me for not being a film photographer anymore. Some of your images seemed to me to have a green cast and weren’t very sharp. Film vs. digital? I enjoyed your video more than the still images. Cold and wet weather definitely slows me down. I live in Seattle and that is what we get in abundance. Shooting inside is always a good idea, at least part of the time I take pictures. I LOVE Saul Leiter, a color film street photographer from the 60’s and 70’s. Besides walking the streets in the east village, he’d stop off in stores and shoot through the fogged up plate glass. He’d also use his telephoto lens from his 2nd floor apartment. Some of his most famous images were captured during rain, snow, or cold weather. You have the right kind of gloves for photography with the ends of the fingers absent. Malls are a good place to go on inclement weather days. The security has the right to demand you not take any photos as that is private property. Museums are good too. Stores like the Stand or Barnes & Noble @ Union Square are good places to warm up. A place like Lincoln Center is good too. There is the library where you can warm up and use the bathroom. As a street photographer, it is important to know where public bathrooms are available. Maybe the best place in NYC to go on cold or wet days is the subway. Dry. Warm. There is always a show going on either on the platform, in the cars, or on the level of the token booths(of course there aren’t any tokens but I remember them). Mask On Nurse Marty(Ret)
I only showed film photos in this video and some of them might not be perfectly sharp because I have quite a cheap lens and also mess up my manual focus sometimes but for me an image doesn't always have to be 100% sharp, its ithe imperfect charm of manual film photography. I mostly have a green tint when I photograph on grey days. You are definitely right with your recommendations on indoor spaces, great advice!
Thank you Marlene you've given me some great ideas. I live in Northern California so all of your suggestions are just within easy reach by car or public transportation. I've been shooting Ilford HP5 lately and experimenting with different filters but I also have a baggie full of color films in the fridge.
Super interesting advices and superb images as usually 😍 Have you tried Ultramax in cloudy days? Never tried this film and I'm going out tomorrow and I'm hesitating between Ultramax, Gold, Portra, Cinestill..
Thank you! I have tried Ultramax just barely on a cloudy day, when I needed to finish a roll once. But it might work quite good for less light, definitely give it a shot!
@@marleneinmotion I had the idea that Kodak Ultramax is a film with high saturation and contrast and could work well on gray days, or at least, better than others. Thanks a lot, dude! If I have a cloudy day tomorrow, I'll sure try it.

Glad to inspire you! Really want to visit Califoria one day, heard and seen a lot about that golden light!

@@juanimal Yes, try it out! I have seen great pictures from other ppl, so it might work for you too
Did you shoot the talking head sections with a Helios 44-2?
What exactly do you mean with 'talking head sections'? My dialogue?
yes@@marleneinmotion
