Omg the way you nonchalantly described the reason you don’t get up for morning made me feel so dumb; I absolutely love that you’re just brazenly yourself. I’ve made a lot more business this year with my digital portrait business because of you. You’ve really taught me a lot about what I want to see in my own art. You’re a gem dude
I like how Jason assumes all of us finish our rolls of film within a day, that shit is expensive, every picture needs to be at the very least a banger that stands the test of time. The ideal scenario aside from that is a picture that r/analog will like
I've had some great results with Portra 800 at golden hour. The added grit and contrast over 400 really gives the image more character in my opinion, and it does tend to shift a bit brown/yellow as well which is lovely for that time. Mid-day I love some c200 and hp5. Nighttime I bring out my X-T4 because I can't be bothered to carry a tripod haha
Alex Burke recommends a Tiffen 812 for shooting Ektachrome and I totally agree. It really helps balance the color and makes the scene true to life. Also, he recommends metering at ISO80 (or 50 with the 812 filter) and I find that really helps bring out the most of the film stock. If you want more tips he has an entire blog post about metering and exposing E100.
Your channel makes me so happy. I went to film school on the cusp between film and digital video, and so your lessons about "what film stock when" and lighting and all of it is just wonderful. I'm so damned happy to see that film is coming back into fashion. Heavenly!
I'm almost always on slow film. A lot of Velvia 50, Pan F Plus 50, Silberra Color 50. I almost exclusively shoot during the day on a 50mm lens and I love the contrast and look of the slow film, and I always have enough light to shoot handheld.
I shoot mostly expired film. My go to BW is Kodak Plus-X and for Color I really love the look of expired Gold/Color Plus, but mostly I just shoot whatever is in the fridge.
An added dimension to your choice of film stock is how you're going to process it. I've had great results pushing Tmax400 +2 stops as well as pulling Fuji400H -2 stops. Sometimes I'll Push/pull a film just to see what it does. It's like the photography equivalent of my favorite childhood summer game, "will it burn?" Ironically, that also involved lens: a magnifying glass.
Also for choosing between different black and white filmstocks you can look up the type of grain they have (traditional or tabular) and the effect each type of grain has on the final image
Nowadays, it is just Fomapan 100/200 for everything. And if I want color, Lomo CN100 or the stock I hate but cant stop buying because of how cheap it is, Fuji Eterna 500T +85B. Budget is kind of tight these days.
I just bought my first film camera(Canon AE-1) and am still trying to figure out what film to shoot first! I'm really excited to try out the HP5 B&W. I still have a little time to decide, since I'm in the process of alowing changing my light seals and getting a 50mm. Thank you for the help!
9:04 Have you tried exposure stacking your night time shots? Since you get the film scanned you could probably combine 2 film exposures in photoshop to get more range from the film.
if you wanna get kodak color plus in la, there is a small place in studio city that sells them. Harry's Camera and Video. I've been able to grab them just last week.
Lomo 800 is actually pretty decent at night too. If you don't like the halation look of Cinestill 800T and Portra 800 is a bit rich for your blood, its a great option to reach for that is actually available (sometimes even in stores, if you have a cool film photography store or at least a camera shop that stocks film nearby), unlike Candido, Dubble etc. which you usually have to order and wait on
if you want rain and fog -> come visit us in St.John's, NL lol. Dreary weather 90% of the time. Never really bothered to try shooting B&W around here though. Downtown is vibrant and I love a good storm ocean blue, so I usually op for colour regardless of the weather.
East Tennessee day time scenery for me is a Fujicolor 200 or 400 job. If the light is great, and the vistas vast and there's opportunity, break out the Ektar 100 or grab the Portra 160. Always love Ilford Hp5+ or XP Super for Black & White street photography. Need to try some TMax.
Hello, I’ve watched a couple of times and thought you mentioned what number of yellow filter you like using. Maybe it was another video? Do you use a #12 yellow on your Leica? Thanks
for midday harsh sunlight a street candy mnt 100 works very well, its got a lot of contrast as well as a nice rough grain that definitely prefers city scapes.
So basically shoot Hp5 +2 stops all the time. Hahaha! Love his video, it was super helpful when starting out, but it has been cool to come back to it and see that i have developed some of my own thoughts about when to shoot film. I still have so much to learn, but it has been great to see how I have started to find my own style and philosophies about shooting. SO MUCH THANKS TO YOU JASON!! Thank you!!!
HP5 +2 stops is also my go-to, I mostly shoot jazz and streets at night. I initially chose Tri-X over HP5 because it looked more contrasty and less flat at box speed, but pushed to 1600, it got too black and white for my taste, like a lot of detail was lost. It took me a long time to try pushing HP5, but the result was exactly what I wanted. I've also had good results with Kentmere Pan, and having an ND filter on hand makes ISO 1600 usable in any situation. During the day I take whatever colour is available, which isn't much! I got three rolls of Ultramax abroad this summer, I should have gotten more of that, it's probably my favourite so far.
I’m a basic Portra 400 bitch, at least in my point and shoot. I like to use it when hanging out with friends or for party photos (she writes, not having gone to a party this year). I prefer the way skin tones look in portra compared to gold, Color plus, or ultra max and the 400 iso is a good compromise as it works for lower lighting indoor settings and outdoor shots. AGFA 100 is my go-to black and white film because it’s cheap, reliable and the only film that is easily purchasable in store without breaking the bank. With current film and developing costs it’s cheaper for me to buy Silbersalz35 than to buy Kodak gold and have it developed, so I’m planning on ordering a 4 pack once I have a trip planed.
Pro400H for nighttime is awesome, beautiful colours, enough dynamic range and low reciprocity failure ( you don’t have to stand there for half an hour per photo)
since im a poor and broke film addict i only carry 1 b&w film stock and 1 color negative. usually Pan 400 and Pro Image 100 with the occasional Gold or Fuji 200
Nice video. I do wish, however, that you would mention more b/w film stocks than HP5. I am absolutely in love with Ortho Plus and just purchased a handful of Ferrania P30's latest batch
In Stuttgart, Germany there is this lab called Silbersalz. I think Karin Majoka did a video on them...They also produce a Silbersalz T version for night time similar to Cinestill. I'm waiting on my scans right now and are pretty excited on what's to come. If my composition and metering is not total shit.
I shot my first roll of Velvia 100 recently, and am currently cutting through my first roll of Velvia 50. I don't have the most amazing shots on these rolls, but regardless of that I'm still excited to see what I've got on them. I also shot my first roll of Portra 800, really it was perfect weather for these. We had bright sunny days where I polished off that roll of Velvia 100, then the colors started changing and we got less light, which was perfect for Portra 800, and now we've got a lot of light again, and I've got a tri-pod, which makes shooting Velvia 50 a lot easier. I look forward to the results of all of these once I get the money to have them developed.
I've picked up today a developed roll of Velvia 100 and the colours are simply amazing. Unfortunately Velvia is both extremely expensive and difficult to find, so I don't know when I'll be able to shoot another roll.
I got so sick of finding myself passing by photos I wanted to take for the sake of preserving my film, I bought a digital and it's kind of amazing how freeing it is
I am trying to stick with Kentmere 100 now since its affordable but still has fine enough grain to look good. Fomapan 100 for 120. However I tried Ektacrome 100 once and was completely blown away by the results compared to the Fuji 400 iso film I shot. I have a few comparison pictures and the Fuji was hopeless compared to the Ektachrome so looks like I will be using that for special occasions that need color now.
I would shoot Kodak color infrared film with a Wratten Number 15, it gave me more color saturation than their recommended Wratten 13. I wish Kodak would bring color infrared film back. I like your idea of pushing HP5 two stops to add contrast and the yellow filter. I knew a photographer who used to use a 81EF during the golden hour,. Everything was really gold.
Recently I've shot places that would require me to be outside and inside with only one camera on me so I shot Porta 800, Lomography 800 and pushed HP5. I do love slide film so I will reach for that if I stay outside during the day.
I'd love to see what you can do with Fuji Superia 400, because it's relatively affordable and easy to get at the moment. I've been hoarding it up and need some inspiration. Thanks for another great video!
Other than the signature Fuji green tones when shooting foliage it doesn't really do anything special. Its latitude passable for most settings, but not great. The grain texture is nice though. You could probably try pushing it to 800/1600 for fun but the colours tend to shift very unpleasantly when pushing. I shot a ton of it when visiting Vancouver, my best results were from shooting box speed on overcast days with lots of greenery in the scene.
Tri-X is such a better film stock than HP-5. HP-5 makes everything look grey and boring, probably why you need to push it 2 stops to get something interesting. Trix-X has some pop and grain and if you process yourself can look pretty much however you like depending on chemistry. Soup it in Rodinal 1:25 for 7 minutes for super sharp grainy look, dilute it 1:50 for less contrasty more tonal look. There are tons of options and it can replace both T-Max and HP-5.
I agree that Tri-X looks better at box speed, but it's too contrasty for my taste at 1600, whereas HP5 shines there. I can't speak to the developing flexibility, though, as I don't develop at home.
@@Christian_from_Copenhagen Tri-X has amazing flexibility in development but it only applies if you develop yourself. I've pushed it in Kodak HC-110 (not sure if they even still make this) using stand development and it has great tonal range without getting too contrasty.
This is such a good video thanks man! So cool to hear your insights into which film stocks when as they kinda line up well with my choices (especially living in a cold dark rainy place 90% of the year)
i have a stockpile of Fuji160ns for a day where i want to photograph lush landscapes. Tri-x 400 for black and white all day long, paired with portra 400. Might use 400h when i’m feeling spicy, or random stocks i still haven’t tried.
Fuji pro400h pushed to 800 and then developed as standard - gives a gritty look whilst still producing nice colours for woodland areas ( especially when it’s raining or grey )
35mm: HP5+ is an all round winner for me! Mornings/evenings, fog, haze... it's also my preferred stock for point n shoots at events..save me from thinking about shitty colours, just focus on the people! I also enjoy Ultramax 400 (shot at 100 (+2))... great all rounder and works a treat with flash! 120: Still love HP5+... enjoy Fujifilm's PRO400H during the magic hours.. and learning to love Velvia 50 for landscapes!
I started to use Washi A for mid day shooting since its super sharp and high contrast. Its a black and white 12iso 35mm film that gives 120 level of sharpness.
Beginner film photographer here - can you change a roll of film to suit different conditions in the day if it hasn’t finished yet? Or do you have to use the entire roll then change to another one?
You can definitely do that, by rewinding the film, leaving the leader out and remembering the frame you stopped shooting in. This, however, is very cumbersome to do multiple times, and makes it possible for you to make more mistakes too. So you can do it, but personally what I like to do is to shoot a color film on one camera and a black and white film on another. Usually these two cameras are an SLR and a Point and Shoot. Anyway, you should try experimenting on your own, and seeing what works for you. Hope that helps.
My approach to film is simple. I see something different on social media and say look, it’s shiny and interesting. Then I buy a bunch and either love it or regret my mistake. Next payday I repeat this process.
I find that shooting Hp5 at dusk with the lens cap still on yields some amazing shadow tones, absolutely excellent blacks in the final image.
you should try developing kodak aerochrome in rodinal 🤤
Crack the lens connection and get some sick light leaks in there too 👩🍳
@@bradbennett1420 What if I took the lens off entirely? Imagine how cool the light leak from that would look
@@harper.suxbier pretty sure that’s where rainbows come from
whats a lens cap?
The editing in your videos is so decent. All the sound effects, pops and cuts to the beat. They don't go unnoticed.
Way beyond decent. The video is art in and of itself.
What you think of my video? Feel free to check out my series on contax T2
To be fair, I vaguely remember him mentioning he started in video production or editing and then transitioned to photography, so makes sense

SCAM!!
Ektar at night is so nice. Ferrania P30 is great for sunny scenes, too.
I got some very nice shots with Ektar 100 while in the desert, came out just as I wanted color wise!
My go-to film stock is Placebochrome 200. It doesn't take very good photos, but it's a lot cheaper, and you still feel like you were there.
You really got me into googleing this. Cheers mate
I like how you were able to slide that in there...
for best results with aerochrome and lomochrome purple, shoot during the brightest summer days in full power, mid-day sunlight.
I'm almost always on slow film. A lot of Velvia 50, Pan F Plus 50, Silberra Color 50. I almost exclusively shoot during the day on a 50mm lens and I love the contrast and look of the slow film, and I always have enough light to shoot handheld.

Come down to Auckland, New Zealand, we've got 50-ish volcanoes and you can climb up nearly all of them for some great views :)
I moved to Sevilla recently and I'm pretty sure all the colorplus is in one film shop here lol
Also for choosing between different black and white filmstocks you can look up the type of grain they have (traditional or tabular) and the effect each type of grain has on the final image

Been binging all your videos waiting for a new one and here it is
Just watched you on NBC news. Good job!
I think I could make an entire photobook out of images taken purely on Ektachrome in blue hour light. It’s too good

Fuji pro400h pushed to 800 and then developed as standard - gives a gritty look whilst still producing nice colours for woodland areas ( especially when it’s raining or grey )
What you think of my video? Feel free to check out my series on contax T2
35mm:
HP5+ is an all round winner for me! Mornings/evenings, fog, haze... it's also my preferred stock for point n shoots at events..save me from thinking about shitty colours, just focus on the people!
I also enjoy Ultramax 400 (shot at 100 (+2))... great all rounder and works a treat with flash!
120:
Still love HP5+... enjoy Fujifilm's PRO400H during the magic hours.. and learning to love Velvia 50 for landscapes!
I started to use Washi A for mid day shooting since its super sharp and high contrast. Its a black and white 12iso 35mm film that gives 120 level of sharpness.
Beginner film photographer here - can you change a roll of film to suit different conditions in the day if it hasn’t finished yet? Or do you have to use the entire roll then change to another one?
You can definitely do that, by rewinding the film, leaving the leader out and remembering the frame you stopped shooting in. This, however, is very cumbersome to do multiple times, and makes it possible for you to make more mistakes too. So you can do it, but personally what I like to do is to shoot a color film on one camera and a black and white film on another. Usually these two cameras are an SLR and a Point and Shoot. Anyway, you should try experimenting on your own, and seeing what works for you. Hope that helps.
We really need that aerochrome back
Highly entertaining and informative, thanks from Australia
My approach to film is simple. I see something different on social media and say look, it’s shiny and interesting. Then I buy a bunch and either love it or regret my mistake. Next payday I repeat this process.
The real problem is: wher can i get film, because it is out of stock everywhere
Silbersalz for all my 35mm and Fuji pro 400h and portrait for 120 :)
