    Im a working photographer who started on film. I was comfortable shooting without a meter on my M4 (when I had it). And I have to say, your sunny 16 explanation was so simple and perfect. Everyone getting into film should watch this.

    Great work. I am definitely in the phase still of going wild trying every film I can get a hold of. It's fun and mysterious. But I am narrowing things down this year. Sometimes I am finding the choice of film and it's colors/tones etc aren't what I should be focusing on exclusively but rather, is the lighting doing my film the justice it deserves enough for me to choose a particular film as a favorite. So I often have to wait for different kinds of weather to come to a proper conclusion on which I like best.

    • @ivunchow
      @ivunchow  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks man. I agree, weather plays a big part in what films I choose. Remember shooting ektar once in overcast conditions and it came out like shit. Tried it again in sunny conditions and it blew me away. So many factors, will take a ton of time to figure it out

    Another good video Ivan. All good tips! I usually don’t overrate my film, I try not to overexpose if I can help it... I don’t like the look, and they don’t scan as well. I actually shoot HP5 and Tri-X at 640 (-2/3), then develop them in Ilford DD-X which is a “speed enhancing” developer that gives a +2/3 stop bump. So shoot at 640, develop at 400, and it comes out looking perfect for my taste. In Rodinal I lose 2/3 to 1 stop, especially with Delta 400, so I would overexpose that. So much room for experimentation in film!

    • @ivunchow
      @ivunchow  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You sir, know a lot more about film than I do! 😂 I only overrate it as a safety measure, I’m ok with the slightly overexposed look. Thanks for watching!

    Good stuff! Just one question about sunny 16 and matching shutter speed to iso. If you overexpose by 1 stop, say 400 to 200, do you now set the shutter speed at 200, or keep it at 400? One of the best and simplest explanations of sunny 16 that I have seen. Keep it up!

    • @_buttertigers
      @_buttertigers 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If your goal is to overexpose the film by a stop like Ivan did then you would look at setting it to match the ISO you've picked for the film, so 400 would be set to 1/250

    • @dinodemopoulos3336
      @dinodemopoulos3336 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m wondering about that as well. So if I’m shooting a 400 ISO film, I set the shutter speed to 200?

  • @kanjinha
    @kanjinha 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi Ivan,
    A question on point 2 (related with topic 1): you have a 400 ISO film. Then you set your camera to ISO 200. Then you match your shutter to 400 or 200? I think it’s 200 but prefer to ask.
    Well another one: I have some old cameras where slower shutter speeds (1/60 and slower) do not work so well so I try to use them at a minimum 1/125 speed. So, in a case where there’s low light, or at night, should do the opposite and set my film to higher ISO such as 800 in case box ISO is 200 or 400 correct? I’m a newbie :)
    Thanks! Another great video.

  • @robelyfranco4805
    @robelyfranco4805 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Hey love your videos, I have a question! When you rate your film at a lower iso ex. 400 iso to 200 iso, for sunny 16 would you then match shutter speed to the new iso rating or to the original iso of the film?

    • @ivunchow
      @ivunchow  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Thanks! You always match the shutter to the iso you’re rating the film at.

  • @Buzz2646
    @Buzz2646 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi, Ivan. I just came across your video. I found it interesting. How would you adjust the ISO if you are shooting expired film?

    • @ivunchow
      @ivunchow  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      General rule of thumb is to over expose expired film. It’s hard to say, expired film is unpredictable, but you do get a lot of surprises shooting with it

  • @shreyaudupa3184
    @shreyaudupa3184 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    What does it mean to "shoot at box speed"? I thought the ISO setting only mattered for the in-camera light meter?

  • @konmorse
    @konmorse 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great tips Ivan. Quick regarding zone focusing - you mentioned you're usually in 1.5 to 3m when shooting at F8, but isn't the zone actually 1.15 to 3m with 1.5 being in the middle?

    • @ivunchow
      @ivunchow  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! What I meant was that I always float around between 1.5 - 3m. The zone that’s in focus will depend on which f-stop I’m using, and that varies depending on the situation. So it’s not a fixed setting.

    I am thinking of getting back to shoot some film. Do you process your own film, or do you use a lab? Is there a lab you could recommend in the Toronto area?

    • @ivunchow
      @ivunchow  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I used to develop my own bw film photos but not anymore, through a lab these days. Only tried Downtown Camera here, they do a good job.

  • @jessedubin5028

    Question: With fixing aperture based on sunlight, aren't you losing out on being able to customize depth of field for the subject?

    • @ivunchow
      @ivunchow  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You are, but not a big deal for me since I’m shooting with a 28 most of the time and I also prefer to have more in focus

  • @louisboothman436
    @louisboothman436 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great vid. Could you clarify though, you said you match your shutter speed with the film speed. But you then said you shoot speed at lower iso. So if you're shooting 400 film at iso 200, is your shutter speed still 400?

    • @ivunchow
      @ivunchow  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! If I’m rating it at iso 200, my shutter will be around 200
