Thanks for watching. 🙌 Did you accidentally open your camera before? You want to see how I buy 50 Rolls Kodak Gold?: th-cam.com/video/fRGnM0r4chA/w-d-xo.html
One time, but that was not my worst mistake, mine was getting a Leica IIIc mis-loaded slightly while learning how to load it and it jammed. . Had to go to the Camera Shop and have the counterperson help me get the film out. The gentleman gave me the Leica template to cut the film leader correctly. His kindness was superb! We all make mistakes, I can at least blame Cerebral Palsy spasticity in the quest for the Spastic Image.
I feel your pain bro. I was so mad at myself when I did this while shooting my Maine On FIlm video lol. Weimar looks so clean and well designed. I love that image at 2:49
the pain was intense, but i survived. 😆 Oh, you too? I didn't really notice. But it's always really frustrating. Weimar is really beatiful i think i will visit it again there are a lot of arcades to shoot :D
yes, weimar is absolutely worth a visit. There are also many museums of the famous German poets, Goethe and Schiller. Kodak gold is really a great film stock when you get used to it.
Hi, I have LEICA M6 but I don't know the correct settings in the camera to use so all my pictures ended up blurry and bad. Can you tell me all the correct settings for taking a picture outside when its sunny?
blurry is not so good, of course. The important thing is to keep your shutter speed at and above 1/125 so that your images don't get blurry. This is the minimum speed you need to compensate for the movement you transfer with your hands on your camera. But you should stand still and keep the camera calm. if you have rather unsteady hands, use 1/250 instead. If you have set the iso on the back of the camera correctly for your film, you only need to rely on the light meter. look for something scahttige or medium gray in your image and measure there. then just adjust the aperture on your lens until the image is correctly exposed. that's it. :D
Outstanding! In all fairness your lovely wife wins the contest for the best photos of the walk. The image at 7:00 and 10:22 are great. Worthy of the HenriCartier-Bresson award. The contrast of the images and the use of the shadows makes these images wonderful. By the way which film was used?
also yes i also know this all too well. i ended up making a habit of putting a ventilated lenshade on the lens and just leaving the lens cap off. you can't forget anything you don't have to remove. 😂
Like your shots but would also like to see more of your wife's work. I shoot with the Fujifilm x100f as well as Yashica Mat, Yashica electro 35 and NikonN 8008s so I do love the film.
Look at this photograph Every time I forget to rewind my film it makes me laugh How did these light leaks get so bad It makes Daniel really sad - Nickelback Really enjoyed the video Dan. Purchasing fifty rolls of gold turned out to be a good decision. You manage to get really good results with it 🙌🏻
Hehe, this will probably be a new Nickelback hit! :D Glad that you liked it. DIe 50 rolls will probably last less long than thought if I use 3 rolls for a video. :D
Such a nice and chill video. Really loved the beautiful lights and scenes of the city. Shot at 2:50 was my favourite one, those leading liens and the beautiful light makes it look so pretty.
thank you rashik 😀 I had the day really lucky with the weather. The arcades were really great in retrospect, I probably should have made more pictures there.
First things first. You have an attractive wife and the red hair fits her well. More importantly she has a good BW photographic eye! I really liked the way her shot captured the shapes and light in that pillar hallway. I liked your shot of the two people on the bench taken through the tree archway and even had the red carriage in the background. I have been shooting film for 65 years. I can’t tell you how often I have opened film back with film not rewound or not completely rewound. Even happened to me recently because the rewind knob did not work correctly. I think all film shooters have done it or will do it.
Thank you, yes she has a good eye for B&w scenes. wow, 65 years is really a lot, I like to believe that many exposed films come together in the time. :D
Yes, I started when I was about 10 years old. I got a plastic kodak brownie camera that use 127 roll film. Not many inexpensive 35mm cameras when I got that one. By the way I wanted to say that love the way that you expose and develop the Kodak Gold. It definitely has more pastel color most often associated with portra. The overexposure really help take down the red, green and orange saturations typical for Gold.
Are you kidding me... Same thing happened the DAY before you uploaded this... Was stalking a curious fox at night... and opened the camera nervously before rewinding while the fox was still near HAHA
Kodak gold needs a lot of light and does not forgive mistakes. So when you expose, always make sure to expose for the darkest areas in the image. but i will release tutorials about it soon.
I thought light leaks gave the film photo more aesthetic vibes xD God that Arcade is a photographer's dream ahaha that architecture porn! your reaction to exposing your film by accident was less dramatic than i expected xD Fake Venice gives great mood, as a non architect, i can imagine this place to be very nice once seating is packed!
Hehe, yes if your picture is a single lightleak then it will be difficult with the aesthetics :D Yes the arcades are really great and weimar is full of them. I almost had sunstroke before I opened the camera. 🥴 That's why I was less annoyed than normal. I've been to the real Venice before so this form of Venice copy sends chills down my spine. 😆
Wow, I thought because you have to pull out the bottom of the Leica camera, it’ll cause more light leaks, but it’s surprisingly clean! The pictures are great as usual, love how you made use of the shapes from the sunlight and shadows in your compositions 😆
Thank you bon 🙏, Yes I also thought that in the lower part of the images really everything is gone. However, the Leica wraps the roll so much that almost no light comes to the side. I have been shooting digital for a long time in a "protect the highlight" style. So shadows are really important to me in the composition even if they are not quite as visible in my current style. 😁
Yes I actually thought that too since the battery is gone but after I changed it it stayed that way. Probably some problem with the contacts on the flap where the ISO wheel is. I guess a CLA would help. 🤔
It is automatic mode for me now. Instant rewind after taking the last frame. On my Hasselblad it is second after cocking the shutter very first thing. Hassy shooters will know why.
good question. it all depends on you. I can only say that you realize you don't need an M6 when you've had one. In retrospect, an M2 would have been enough for me if I'm honest.
@@oneafi8940 naive perhaps not. The question is rather what is important to you. You can also get Leica lens quality with the Leica R system. The lenses I use are not even from leica. the voigtländer lenses are also available 1:1 for nikon cameras. But if you want the rangefinder feel, it doesn't have to be an M6. However, despite everything, sometimes it just has to be a certain model without logic. :D
Excelent photos, even the ruined (one can always learn). I couldn’t notice properly, but the city is Weimar, isn’t it? The mall looks like Las Vegas. Really ugly but fun (sort of). I’m a beguiner with film photography and I’m starting to use the Sunny16 system cause my M4 has the dettachable lightmeter broken, it would be great if you give some tips about it. Nice videos!
thank you very much, yes it is weimar. a beautiful city! except for fake venice :D tips i can give now is that sun always has constant intensity. First of all you don't have to shoot at sunny 16 in F16 you can use it as a starting point to calculate your exposure.
oh hey, if you want to know the settings i used in the camera then that would be: Shutterspeed between 1/250 and 1/125 Aperture between F8 and F4. Film is Rated at ISO100 and metered for the shadows.
Happens to us all man! In one way or another we all mess up 😂 I got a whole night shoot back with only 3 shots just the other day. Another great video with some amazing images man. 👏
Yes that's probably true. at some point everyone makes this mistake I think :D What happened at your night shoot? thank you as always for your comment. 👍
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel ab man. I had no idea what I was doing apparently… tried a series of 20-30 min exposures of some star trails on the Mamiya… took about 8 shots total of these beautiful scenes. Must’ve been out there for more than 2 hours. Got all the film back and my shutter cable wasn’t in properly and I got 0 night shots back from the lab. All severely underexposed like I didn’t even take a picture 😂
A real lovely series of photographs indeed. I guess we have all been there, opening the back of the camera, not having rewound the film, some even more than once 😂, me included. I spend a day in Weimar last year and it is a very nice place. As always, enjoyed your video and your presenting style.!!👍
Thank you, I meter for the shadows and overexpose +1 but still sometimes places are underexposed. Kodak Gold needs a lot of light. The rest I do in post with Negative Lab Pro. Tutorials will come soon. No push/pull
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel I used to make polaroid prints with the Daylab Jr - back when that kind of film was still affordable ;) - and had lots of fun trying to achieve similar "lighting" effects

The city is really great. If I'm ever in Germany I have to visit it. By the way, great photos that you always make with kodak gold.
yes, weimar is absolutely worth a visit. There are also many museums of the famous German poets, Goethe and Schiller. Kodak gold is really a great film stock when you get used to it.
Surprised you did not mention the price increase of Kodak Gold at the german drugstore chain DM. 3Pack of Gold is now 13Euro.
I thought I didn't need to mention it because Kodak Gold is almost impossible to buy anyway. 😅
Sadly, I just did that recently. Luckily, only a few frames were totally ruined.
Oh no, I hope there was nothing important on these frames. :D
this is really random but i really like your back ground music at 7:03 onwards (: may i know which track is this?

Wow. Firstly I am impressed with her compositions. Great skills. I though your lovely wife shot with film. Either way, impressive outcomes.
why all the film photography videos have late 80s porn music in the background??
To get in "the mood" for some sexy camera action. 😆
My problem with Leica is forgetting to take off the lens cap. So many blank shots!
also yes i also know this all too well. i ended up making a habit of putting a ventilated lenshade on the lens and just leaving the lens cap off. you can't forget anything you don't have to remove. 😂
Please make kodak gold recipe sir 😀
haha, you are already the second who asks this within 10 min. i see that i should push this up in my priority list. :D

Are most of your pictures in this video shot with Kodak gold box speed (200) or did u overexpose them by 1 or 2 stops?
Grüße aus Kölle :)
Hallo nach Kölle :D Kodak Gold ist recht lichthungrig daher belichte ich immer für die Schatten und gebe trotzdem noch +1 stop dazu.
Hum, a fine M6 but lowcost Gold 200. Much better Image Quality with Pro Image 100, or Ektar 100 ! :)
Have recently tried Ektar at a ntrip. fatastic! I save these more expensive films but for special moments. 😀
Don't worry, those camera opening mistakes vein after some 10 yrs of practice 🤣

I guess I just have to accept that it can always happen :D
Hello BN, Do u over exposed the photo u take with kodak gold? Any tip you can share about using this roll?
Kodak gold needs a lot of light and does not forgive mistakes. So when you expose, always make sure to expose for the darkest areas in the image. but i will release tutorials about it soon.
I did this exact same thing trying to work on a video now its just a dud and I'm planning on making it a blooper video.
