"My mom always said life was like a roll of film. You never know what you're gonna get.”
true if you never become pro
“Until the roll of film comes to a sudden end.” -Will Ryan DAGames
RE Productions wow.. that was dark...
Film is not inherently unpredictable. The news, fashion, marketing, leisure, movie industries were based on the total predictability of film for a century. What's changed is a number of things. We're using cameras that are old and may be in need of a service, we're experimenting more with home processing and different stocks and developers, we use films from start up companies or that are out of date, we've introduced home scanning that is sub-optimal, a lot of important stuff most people didn't do back then.
Directors of photography did clip tests to ensure all movie film used was from the same batch and "dailies" were made to monitor the output. There was no element of chance like people have today. Failures happened but they were rare and usually operator error.
This is not a lecture BTW. I've been shooting film for decades and failed to test some old colour developer last week that messed up three rolls. I would never have taken those chances with a client, but we've become sloppy and treat film as a novelty in a way that never used to happen.
Borderlands totally agree! And to reduce the development mistakes specially for colour film I would take my rolls to a lab, as well as not trusting your cameras light meter! Either get an external one or use your digital camera matching the settings of your film camera as much as possible and do some test shots or just meter that reduces the error, at least it allows me to get pretty consistent results
Excellent post.
oh, for sure! if I had to work for a client, I wouldn't experiment... but that's why at the beginning I say that unpredictability is a factor of how I experience film, not how film "is". :)
While absolutely true, this points out the number of variables and potential points of failure that must be controlled in order to have "predictable" results with film. With digital, these is no need to "predict" since the feedback is immediate. In my first 20 years of photography, all on film, all while it was standard and consistent, I certainly experienced failures along the way, and could not know until the film was developed. That does not stop me from enjoying the "spice" of film photography today! Great episode, thanks for sharing.
This is the weirdest crossover episode I've ever come across
And incidentally, I wouldn't call any of the pictures you showed us failures - even the streaky ones have an interesting, mysterious quality to them. No mistakes, only happy accidents :)
I'm so glad you went with your gut and produced this video. It rings true on so many levels and helps people like me to know they're not alone and that even accomplished artists like yourself has the occasional moment of doubt and frustration. Thank you for the candid and personal delivery!
"An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field." (Niels Bohr)
I’ve watched dozens of videos discussing film photography and this is easily the best; it’s honest and personal, insightful and motivating. Gracias!
Eduardo, I am so glad to have come across your channel and subscribed!
It's the unpredictability, the mistakes and the accidents that made go back to film from digital. There's always a new challenge ahead, and I feel it makes you so much more focused and attentive to any detail within the frame of the viewfinder! Digital sometimes makes you lazy, but that said, it's way more efficient.
Then again, it's not that usual to see pictures such as yours with those funky streaks, which wouldn't have been seen in a digital camera!
as usual - a great video. Great insights. Thanks for sharing!!!
You have definitely gave me encouragement. Thank you!
I genuinely enjoy many of your videos.
Gran video Ed. Como siempre muy motivador para aquellos que estamos comenzando en film. Eres un gran referente en la materia, así que tanto aciertos como fallas son bienvenidas! Déjame contarte que hoy me acorde mucho de ti ya que estuve en el flea market de Berlín y conseguí un bolso súper cool, así que gracias por tus consejos!! Te mando un abrazo y espero ansioso un nuevo film episode.
Love your videos man, keep up the amazing content and I love film for exactly the same reason, I probably wouldn`t enjoy photography as a hobby as much with digital cameras. And also you seem like a really chill dude :D
very well put, sir. please keep the shoot films coming. they are serioussly goood
Top 10 anime crossovers of all time
no wet plate collodion street photography episode then??? 🤣
Cassia I'd love to see that one, and if anyone could pull it off it's Eduardo.
This video was very interesting! It's a topic I thought about recently. I bought some experimental films from Lomography, but the first ones came back underexposed and my film laboratory totally messed up the scanning, even if it was still possible to see the pictures. I was pretty disappointed and thought that I expected too much of myself, but afterwards I bought my own film scanner and scanned them propperly. They didn't turn out that bad, and the experience helped me doing the next ones better, so I think making this fault improved my skills and I am even more motivated.
My favorite thing about film photography is exactly that lack of control. I actually really like those weird emulsion 250D shots. Not something I would aim for all the time but still really unique and interesting!
Great video as always man. 🤘
Hey Eduardo, Really loved seeing Brighton on youtube. I'm new to your channel and didn't realise you lived close. I hope to bump into you one day on one of my photo walks. Keep up the great work my friend!
WHAT SORT OF CROSSOVER IS THIS? A NEW EPISODE OF ISEKAI FILM QUARTET? (Anyway from the perspective of Syd and Gigguk, film photography is their isekai.)
Also poor Gigguk standing on the side like some sort of bodyguard hahahaha. he could have been reading his doujinshi while waiting.
Anyhow, what really sets film photography as a practice apart from, say digital or computer-generated imagery, is the personality it imbibes. Not only from the emulsion itself but more so from the photographer. Weirdly though this technical unpredictability trained me to be consistent in my work, regardless if it were done on film or digital.
Been through the process of film failures many times. Not loading film in correctly, poorly winding film in patterson tank, touching film too much etc. but like you said in this video, through it all I have learned things and learned lessons I could've never experienced if I stayed safe with digital. I think if people want consistency they need to pay for everything to get done on the proffessional side of developing and scanning or just use their digital. Film is for the daring 👀
Problems are opportunities. Good job on this video.
To each his own- The one you said looked like crap, is one of the best art photos I have seen this month. ;-)
Thank you! Amazing video
Eres un valiente. Tanto por disparar con película como por hacer este vídeo.
Es el lado oscuro y peligroso que tanto nos atrae al film, hasta que no llegas a casa no sabes si has fallado o si tienes la foto, y eso hace que cada foto intente ser "la foto".
Un abrazo!
Great video... thanks for sharing your experience! I´m pretty confident regarding black & white development, using the stand development method. But color film is another league. My development started out good with my first three rolls, but after that many problems occurred. Sometimes I can fix the colors after scanning. I´ll give important important rolls definitely to a lab at this point!
This video resonates with me so much. I love my old cameras, the colours and tones of different films. Especially love shooting Impossible Project / Polaroid Originals too. I enjoy talking to people when they ate interested in the cameras I'm using. All of that can be quashed though (only for a while) when the images don't turn out very well. I'm all for unpredictability but when the images aren't usable I question why I bother.
Hi Eduardo, great video man. Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts and opinions. Film is new to me and I have so much to learn, you have been an inspiration to me for a while. Keep up the great content.
Oh Eduardo! I was waiting for your ethos of "36 exposures: you'll see all of them"! The weird emulsion can show a lot about the chemical nature of film photography, or you could say the Alchemcial nature! Best to you Ed
Thank you Eduardo.
I couldn't agree more with Borderlands. I was working as a photographer in the news for some 15+ years using film, before digital took over at the beginning of this century. I had always developed my films in professional labs, using industry standards, and the only failure I had when a film came out of the machine with scratches, what was a human error.
Regarding your Minolta X700, almost all old cameras with cloth shutter have that issue over time.
Very good video! Respect!
The Cross over I didn’t expect 😂
Thanks for sharing! I really appreciate the honesty and totally can relate. I have not developed my own film 🎞 but would love to. The uncertainty of the results is what drives me to shoot more in film. 🙏🏼💪🏻🙌🏻
Thanks Ed. I still like shooting with film and you're right that you should always be allowed to fail. Otherwise, how would any of us learn? Thanks for the continued inspiration.
I started shooting film in Feb this year (2017), did my first film shoot with two friends as models for a styled 90s look. Well, after I shot the first roll, I failed to rewind the it prior to opening the camera. 5 images got totally ruined, the rest had light leaks in form of the roll bracket holes. Some look interesting some look too bad to publish. I learned my lesson that day, and since i own several film cameras now, and not always finish a roll on the same day, I put black tape around the back to prevent myself from opening it while a roll is loaded. Seems to work for me.. I'm a digital shooter, and all my paid work is done with my digital camera. Great Vid as usual Eduardo.
I have seen that happening before with 250D ( 4:10 ),a friend of mine once brought me a completely "unscannable" roll, what happened was the remjet wasn't properly removed, I smeared the remjet side with gel alcohol (hand sanitiser) and that removed it almost instantly. That fixed the problem for me, the negatives came out perfect.
now that sounds really interesting. thanks for the tip!
I had similar problem on 500T. Its rest of remjet "attach" to emulsion. Try to delicate rewash remjet from emulsion side.
Same Problem with X-700. I was always confused after developing. I had a XD-7 before, which always worked fine.
I have had a few issues myself with getting into film. But it's more todo with the development than the cameras. I keep scratching the film, but I have worked out its a heat issues when loading the film. The first time I did it, it totally bummed me out, but learning it's part of the learning process. Not at the confidence level to try developing colour just yet. Sometimes though mistakes can be kinda cool, I'm hoping for light leaks but as yet not had any lol
You definitely did do the right thing thing showing this video, I think it helps all of us to know that things go wrong for the best of us. Azriel Knight recently did a video of his favourite photographers on TH-cam and you were obviously there, but I think you would be in everyone's favourites because you are so likeable as well as being a good photographer. In his video he points out that nearly all your shots are good, which again people would have difficulty disagreeing with, especially with rangefinders which are your forte. There is a comment that mentions that we, as film photographers, now take film outside a controlled environment more than ever before, that is an undeniable truth. I think it is important that those new to film photography, developing or scanning know that with all these variables things can very easily go wrong and not to get discouraged, because when things go right there isn't a better feeling in the world. When you mount that image that you have taken, developed, enlarged or scanned and printed and it's there in front of you, you feel invincible...that is until the next thing goes wrong. I don't rely on any in camera meters for film photography, I use a Weston Masters II that's 70 years old and is still spot on according to Sekonic, and even then I don't trust shutter speeds. Having said all that, and I haven't checked all the comments to see if anyone else has said this, but there were a couple of the images that were "wrong" that I actually liked.
I hadn't checked that video. man, those were some nice words. both in Azriel's video and in your comment. thanks a lot, Mark.
It has like an almost flashed look to it. I once had a processing canister that had a very small crack init, and it would flash my film, only the roll on the bottom and I got a similar look. Also when I would load my film in a closet before I got a changing bag the same look would appear, I dont know.
I feel you on the risk and rolls not turning out the same. I recently shot 2 rolls with my XA2. One roll had streaks on it, not sure where they came from my foam seals are good. Second roll turned out perfect, perfect balance and no streaks. Not sure how it happened to begin with but it can be a bummer.
That has happened to me at least once! I loaded a roll of expired Ilford HP5, yes, not even HP5+ and shot some portraits of my colleagues. Turned out the roll was way to expired and even for black and white emulsion. On top of that my fixer was exhausted, so negatives turned out really bad. I managed to fix some photos by refixing them in a fresh solution, but it was so painful to tell my friends that photos didn't work out.
i have a minolta x700 too. apparently it is well known the camera tends to underexpose by 1 stop at least. which is super annoying that's why i always try to overexpose it by 1 stop.
I always use a sunny 16 rule and I never use a light meter, never let me down with any camera. It's not that hard to shoot film. We all know that the film has a great dynamic range, it depends on the film itself, but even these cheaper films are not bad in the dynamic range! You only have to set in your mind some sort of list of exposure triangle and then when you find yourself in a situation where you have to specify the parameters then youturn on that list and appoint you settings. But it comes with experience, do not ever use a light meter, you do not need it! Let's say you have a 50mm lens with 1.4 aperture and you want to shoot a portrait of someone outdoors, it's sunny. To get a professional looking picture, to get that bokeh you do not have to open the aparature up to the end, let's say open it up to f3.5 and if you have a 400 asa film you put the shutter speed up to 1/1000 and the photo will turn out good, 100 percent ! Now if you want to shoot a portrait in the shadows with the same aperture you just need to change the shutter speed to say 1/250 but it depends how dark it is in that shadow! No light meter! You are your own light meter!
And if you have Portra 160 film it's even easier not to say some 100 asa ! I apologize for such a long comment!
tienes que hacer una con leica m2 ... y otra seria que te gusta mas 35 o 120 ?
Interesante tema, es una de las cosas que también me hace dudar de hacer más fotos importantes con film, pero esa misma duda es la que premia con resultados sorprendentes.
La fotografía digital nos mostró que los resultados pueden ser siempre standart sin importar la cámara o el lente, pero también por eso mismo la gente le agrega esas sorpresas ( filtros, grano etc) que nos da el film
Ahora estoy en la etapa que los resultados con 135 no me parecen interesantes como los de 120, y además el tema de la digitalización es otra cosa más a la ecuación
Hola, donde compras films de 120? supongo que los revelas tu, pero sabes donde lo hacen igual? saludos :)
Lo compro en laboratorio fotográfico JPF que esta en santiago
también los mando a revelar ahí, hacen un muy buen trabajo, saludos!
Excelente Vídeo. Los seres humanos somos así fallamos, nadie es perfecto. Lo importante es obtener de ello lo positivo. Buen Trabajo Eduardo, me ha servido de inspiración para mi propio gusto por la fotografía. Saludos!!! Éxitos y Bendiciones!!!
Love your honesty and like your vids. I shoot digital and film . I'm 40 so have shoot film since I was a kid. One thing everyone forgets is that back when film cameras were the only option there was an entire service industry that ran along side it . Every photographer knew that a camera would need to be serviced . Your local photography shop had some sort of service option either to do it in house or send out the camera. If people want good results use a camera that's fully functioning and good film stock . Don't buy lomo film it's awful.
what would your preferred film to use be?
how do get your hands on so many different cameras? I am a high school student and can't afford to buy them all... but I want to try the shooting experience of different film cameras!
The video is awesome
I definitely like more your videos where you think and talk , rather than vids where you shoot and walk . Though , both are very interesting . Thank you !
The best learners are the best failures. To succeed you must fail, pencils are made with erasers for reason that failure is apart of life and the human experience. You can learn so much more from film photography because it is unforgiving.
The video is not a failure. Film is not perfect but just occasionally everything comes together and it's great. Mike
If you want to feel liberated - go street shooting, with an all manual film camera with a 50mm prime lens.
Scary (if you're used to taking digital shots, then confirming on-screen) but when you get one or more excellent shots from a roll of film, it really does seem worth the effort.
Hey Ed can you please do a video on the Yashica Electro 35 GTN
HOLY FUCK YOU MET GIGGUK AND HIS GIRLFRIEND??? WTF IM FANBOYING HARD HERE
I love my Minolta X-700. Great camera.
how did you record the sound?? and what lenses did you used for this video Eduardo?
Great video! Hope your having a good day too :)
lmao, was not expecting you to be an anime fan.
Hey Eduardo, how's it going? From the video I found out that things didn't go as planned on a shoot with Sydsnap....well, it happens :). Film is not the most predictable, but I saw that other film shooters (enthusiasts, not pro-level) have consistent results (with the same emulsion, same developing chemicals, so same process, basically). Now, since you try different emulsions, cameras, ways of developing or not, results tend to be different. That can be discouraging (if you have a consistent flow and expect consistent results), but it can also be really cool and learn a lot from this.
Advice: Next time when you have one of these shoots have a camera with you that never let you down, one camera that will get the job done in case sh....stuff happens :D. I call it "in case sh....stuff happens" camera+lens combo ;).
Looking forward to see your next video and don't be too upset with yourself, it happens. We call this EXPERIENCE :D.
i think all those photos have nice caracter including the faled ones with the yellow overcast. The video tones and images are lovely ... how do you grade them ? very nice
oh found your video about it... so nice !
The first roll of film I got back from the lab looked like it had been left in the chemicals for too long, the second roll looked like it hadn't been left in long enough, and the third roll had some bizarre colors even though it was brand new while the others were expired. I'm pretty sure though that most of those problems were the lab's fault. I envy you being able to develop at home.
I actually had the same under exposure problem with my Minolta CLE using vision 2. I was thinking it might be because the light meter reads off the film and maybe Kodak Vision film is somehow giving the wrong reading. Does the x-700 meter off the film in the same way? I was only using the camera in auto exposure mode. I guess it wouldn't be an issue shooting in manual.
I always shoot in manual. the X500 and the X700 gave me the same reading, but the X700 underexposed two stops. it must be a problem with the shutter or the lens' aperture.
Hmm. I must have a different problem then. I've shot other films with the camera that were fine. It's just the Vision2 I have problems with. It is expired so it could have just degraded over time. I know exactly how you feel about the unpredictability. Between using old cameras, shooting cinema film, developing in my bathroom and scanning with my digital camera, there are just so many variables. I still love doing it though.
Ooooooh yes, old cameras, especially those with cloth shutter can have synchronisation issue. However, the best way to check that and otherwise to have consistent results on two or more cameras is to use sunny 16 rule or to have external light meter. You can use iPhone app for that, but in lowlight situation only a real light meter will help. Here's a sample:
www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/200224-REG/Sekonic_401_208_L_208_Twin_Mate_Meter.html
You can get it event much more cheaper used...
Thanks! I'll give that a try for sure.
This just proves that its not just us that can mess up! :-)
well for me they looked beautiful! I guess I also really love the chaos. Im just learning to use my camera and know very little about the technical aspects but i loveeee experimenting and then getting the roll back and being completely surprised. Also, no sé por qué puse este comentario en inglés. lol
Aquí también habemos gente que habla español y les gusta tomar fotos con film :P disfruta de tus sesiones para tomar fotos.
Too many variables are not good. Why don't you stick with one camera that you know exactly it works? Are you sure all shutter speeds in camera are accurate?
man, can you imagine how boring a TH-cam channel would be with a guy using the exact same camera every single week for months and years? haha
EduardoPavezGoye ahaahah well, you're right! You know, because one of your previous videos now I've bought a FED2 camera! And want to visit Districto Coyoacán ahaha
anyway I like very much your channel! Keep going man!
Gabe Anzelini use ebay. There are many used FEDs and Zorki sold by russians. These cameras here cost like a cup of coffee if you buy it locally
Maybe it was x-ray scanner in the airport that ruined your photos? I don't know. But keep shooting man! always love your work :)
Errors on the film had too much "wave" formations, it can only be chemistry or film's emulsion, or the developing process. I had an x-ray scanner error long, long time ago, and the film was pitch black like it was exposed to light before developing...
Resilience!
¡Un saludo desde Barcelona!
Please can someone translate this for me. If it is saying we are all behind Barcelona and they are in our thoughts and prayers it a like from me.
If i go somewhere i can get there easy an not trying to capture something special i sometimes just use film. But if i had to do a 8h hike to get somewhere or wake up like at 4 or 5 and shot a sunrise or whatever I always shot digital and film. Sometimes mainly with Velvia i get awesome results but other times i get a complete failure and with digital this is more difficult to happen. With landscapes i guess using to cameras is not a problem with street photography not the same case.
move those brain juices boi
Which len u use?
I don't know about helping but certainly a different story from just another photo story. It does have a cool arty effect in the problematic photos.
i shoot film professionally at events etc. The other day i shot this sports event and I also took some lomography rolls with me. Turns out they were faulty and all the writings on the 120 paper is also on the film. I have 3x12 amazing shots lost. Really risky business
¡Muy buen vídeo! la fotografía (analógica,química,tradicional...) tiene su riesgo, pero de entre esos fallos a veces podemos encontrar un resultado cuanto menos curioso a mi hasta me llega a gustar el efecto de la fotografía del minuto 4:16 (es como un efecto diabólico o en llamas) quizás no buscado, pero es cuanto menos, curioso. A mi me pasó que una vez me entró como agua o contaminación en el tanque y creó un efecto que estando aislado en el negativo es facilmente reproducible (si te gusta que en mi caso fue así) pero si la experimentación es en el papel, es otra cosa, porque o tienes una técnica depurada completa o jamás seremos capaces de volver a reproducirla pero a la vez hace de esa foto única en la copia.

#movingaroundyourbrainjuices
w-w-why is gigguk in there?
The most pain in the ass is the scanning for me...takes a lot of time, results aren't nearly as good as a 10mp digital camera (APS-C) if you don't have the money to get an expensive one (speaking 35m here).
Loriot1990 I have an Epson v800 so a mid range flatbed scanner and I've never scanned an that is even close to a darkroom print. Unfortunately I can only do 35mm B&W but when I get proficient enough I'll move on to 120 and colour.
Mark Harris I wouldn't consider a around 500€ prizetag scanner really cheap. That is the same prize I paid for my Ricoh GR and Fuji X-E2. Film is awesome and especially all these great cameras (I have classics like the mju and the XA), but the results you get from a scanner which doesn't cost 300€+ are unsatisfying to me. If it wouldn't be for the relatively cheap entrance you pay for the digital world I wouldn't be doing photography...
Loriot1990 I agree it isn't cheap but there are several more expensive ones like the v850, but I admit mine costs more than my two favourite cameras, my Bronica ETRSi and my Zorki 4K, put together. I love film photography too, but compared to the running costs of digital it is far from cheap. I do everything for myself including developing and printing. I tend to shoot mainly black and white white I can darkroom print at 35mm and if I shoot colour I use 120 which I find scans a lot cleaner.
I would check out the Plustek 8100. I bought one after my Epson V550 died on me and noticed a huge improvement. You can actually see detail in things! I bought mine used for around $200 (USD). The color and resolution are both much better than my epson. It can't do medium format though, just 35mm.
You people will never learn...
If you want excellent results, make an actual print from the negative FIRST, color or B&W whatever, and than put that photograph in the flatbed scanner and scan it. Yes I know that's a lot more of work and money, but in the end you'll spend a fraction of money you would spend purchasing a descent scanner. Scanners was a popular item by the end of last century, but they was overrun by the dawn of usable digital cameras, so industry don't develops them as they used do. That's the reason why today a descent scanner costs a fortune. So if you want good results without the need to sell your kidney, MAKE PRINTS !!!
Hope this was helpful...
For that second picture that definitely looks like some kind of light leak or something. Definitely not your fault.
is that gigguk? is that gigguk's gf?
Yep
Ya
its tHe aNiMe zOnE
woah gigguk
Your "streaky crap" photos actually make the images look really cool! I def wouldn't call them a fail... they actually add something special to some photos, which otherwise would look common place. It seems that now you have a new setup that would give you options for pleasing creative shots, which would save you a ton of time rather than trying to make those images in photoshop. Maybe use your other cameras for more predictable photos? Thanks for sharing the video!
Btw, the XA3 is awesome! But, it's pretty much the same as the XA2. The XA4 might be something really special though! :)
I don't think you've failed at all. They look home-developed and that's the best part about them. I home-developed a roll of portra 400 the other day... the results are crap versus lab developed... but the work I put into them makes them keepers for sure! (top of my instagram @k3vonn if you're interested in my result). I even used a sous vide cooking appliance for temp control but I plan on buying / building an automatic film processor some day.
Español?
I don't think you failed at least judging by the pics you displayed here, they look great IMO. Of course if you want easy as possible control as goal take any digital camera even a cheap one. But on the other way, just pick one of the what you consider the best image you got on this vid and try to get there with digital... Just try. Or just try to get a Sally Mann like picture from digital... I agree, vision, experience and your own internal process. Next time take 4 rolls... I just wanted to see more.
Hi! when you want consistent results, you don't use cinema film. Well, what can I tell you now, right?, even a Kodak pro image 100 would give you better results. Go for sure whit C41 emulsion, or B/W still film, Cinema Film would always be a risk, anything could happened in the process of creating your 35mm cassettes and in my experience, the film was trashed before you even shot with that. I have a can of 500T that I have to use as 60 ASA. Yep! 500 to 60. And I always have bad results with it, the same things I could see in your pictures, orange shift, underexposure, maybe dark negatives, you don't mention it, but maybe, and weird behavior of emulsion. As you said you learned your lesson, go with your cinema emulsion, but always carry your regular 35mm film. It will not be unpredictable as cinema films. In the end you get some lomography shots that looks great in a way, I mean, that shots have that "something" and it's real, you don't get it with software, you get it right on the film. I think you are so rude on yourself, but I know the feeling, I've been there, cinema film is great, but it will betray you sooner or later. Thanks for your videos, I enjoy them a lot.

I shoot film because I can...
The thing about failure is that I enjoy watching others fail. :) // By the way, I love this reflexive episodes, Ed.
A fellow weeb huh? Wait is that gigguk?
yep, that's him.
You are talking about business professionals. But from the artistic perspective there is no professional photographer.
Film is not unpredictable in any way to me. These are the reasons why:
1. All my film cameras work perfectly.
2. I always use fresh film for important shoots.
3. I always have my films processed by a professional lab.
4. All my scanners work perfectly and have all film profiles included.
Such a plump little girl ... And your beard is just amazing!
Use an external light meter next time mate, problem solved
I did. The camera was giving me the correct metering. Something must be wrong with the shutter or the lens' blades.
you're in love and failed to impress her, id' be sad also... :p
Stick to digital. You're clearly out of your depth with film.
Plz teach me, senpai.
Film is not unpredictable at all, you used a faulty camera, an experimental film, and probably didn't develop as you should, dont shift the blame buddy.
I said almost literally: "the way I experience film is in an unpredictable way because I like to experiment and use it in chaos". I never said "film IS unpredictable".
I'm surprised. This is the fourth or fifth comment saying this idea. I guess since English is not my first language, is hard for me to get my point across, but I explained this like four times in the video. :-/
You got fat... 😂
I mean, what should I say... I understand the romantic pull people feel towards film photography with old manual mechanical cameras. But... Well... I prefer having total control. 😂
