I finally did it! I hope you enjoyed following along on my first time shooting 35mm film :) As mentioned in the video, I currently don't have a proper overview of film stocks I want to try, so if you have any recommendations please tell me! :) Have a good week, Teo
Do it! I found it very enjoyable - so grab that old camera from your parents attic or else where and do it (don't procrastinate on it like I did ooops :D)
Welcome to film photography! Hope you enjoy shooting film. I just discovered your channel and you seem to have pretty good stuff. Based on your style, I'd recommend you to shoot on Cinestill 800T or Kodak Vision 500T film stock.
Using the same light meter app here, sometimes just to get a feeling of the current daylight brightness. Like guessing the 100 iso ev value and then checking with the app haha
Love it, man! Your videos are always on point, I really enjoy your approach to photography compared to others. I love the reasons and descriptions you have for every photo. Since you're a fan of the greens, I'd check out Fuji Pro 400h. I feel like it fits the vibe you have going on, especially seeing your digital work and how greens and cooler tones are very prominent in the overall tonality of your photography. It's a prosumer film but it definitely has the look you're going for. Superia 200 & 400 are great more consumer-friendly options as well. I've probably shot more Superia 400 than any other film, I've got like 15 rolls right now. I've shot 2-3 rolls of Superia 200 and actually prefer the look of it over 400. I have extreme magenta shifts with Superia 400 when I develop and scan it at home, and it takes a bit of post-work to get it looking good, I never had that issue with 200. It seems like labs have Superia 400 locked down and know how to balance that all out, everytime I sent 400 off to a lab they do a great job of getting it to look like the classic Superia color with a heavier green cast that's prominent in the shadows and cooler skin tones. Anywho, that's just my 2 cents. Look forward to seeing more of your film work!
Ohh thank you Spencer! Cool, Fuji Pro 400h sounds good - as of it being a Prosumer film I guess I'll still wait a while before shooting that and get some practice with the cheaper ones🤷🏻♂️ Well thanks a lot for your 2 cents!🙇🏻♂️
This is an impressive first roll Teo! Mine was not good as I didn't know how to meter properly at first. Also shooting with expired film yields interesting results and some photographers prefer expired film; my first few rolls were shot with 20-year expired (not stored properly) Kodak Gold 200. I loved this film stock and the expiration didn't lessen the quality really, but it did give a 70s/80s vibe which I happened to be going for. I would recommend that one especially for golden hour shots. Portra 400 is also very popular because of the colors and fine grain; I enjoyed this stock as well but it's more expensive than the Gold 200 - I also prefer overexposing with this stock. I'm currently trying Portra 160 and waiting to see how those shots come out. If you did want to try B&W then I recommend the Tri-X 400; I've never shot with B&W before and did so with one roll of that with a point & shoot camera and was pleased with the results, but I prefer color as well (plus you can always edit a photo to be B&W even though some would say that's cheating lol). Experimenting and waiting for the results (even when they're bad) is so fun! I bring a notebook with me when I shoot to note when I overexpose or do long exposures so when I get the photos back I know what was a screw up vs what worked - I recommend the note taking, it will help you learn and keep track of things! Shooting this way also teaches patience and discipline in my opinion; I'm shooting like crazy with my digital camera and I only like a handful of shots lol but I'm learning a lot from that too so there are benefits of both mediums for sure. Looking forward to seeing more film work in the future. Stay safe!
Hey thank's a lot for all the info! Portra has been on my list, I definitely want to try it out! I've actually already got a roll of Kodak Gold in the fridge waiting to be shot :D And yes, I also enjoyed the waiting process - it was somehow annoying to have to wait so long, but all the more rewarding and satisfying when I finally get to see the results! Ohh taking notes is a good idea - I kind of see these videos as my form of note-taking :) More is on the way! Stay safe too!🙌🏼
Not yet! But I've got an eye on those Fuji films. I was quite upset lately as they announced the discontinuation of FujiPro400H, because that one was also very attractive for me😔
@@teocrawford me too, never got to shoot it and now I don’t know if I will get to. Superia 400 and C200 both have great colors but so far the dynamic range isn’t as good as portra or gold, need to get some more gold 😏
This is wonderful! I personally enjoy Fuji film stocks. Don’t get me wrong Kodak makes wonderful films but I feel from the video you would enjoy dipping your toes in Fuji color stocks. I also wanted to ask if you’d be doing your own development? Or just sending off to a lab?
Ohhh I've really been wanting to try Fuji, because I also think I'm going to like them! Just haven't gotten around to trying it yet🤷🏻♂️ No, these are developed by a lab :)
This video made me smile. I love seeing people discover film photography for the first time. And so glad you have continued with it. Beautiful shots considering the age of the film. May your freezer/fridge be full of film for years to come! Buy up lots of Fuji film while you can while it's still cheap-ish. The film stocks are being discontinued and will get expensive real quick!
Yey, you did it. The film photography session that you talked about from the Q&A. I think because you gravitate to cool colors more maybe you can try kodak ektar, fujifilm superia, or fujicolor c200. (but I'm no expert either so you should choose for yourself hahahahaha.) Looking forward to upcoming video uploads.🙌🏼
Yes! You did it 👌I enjoyed it a lot! I think the best photo for me is your shot of that house in the junction? If am right about that, anyways maybe try some portra 400, I always see film photographers use it a lot. Glad to finally see you try film. I think you start out pretty well! Hoping to see more. Thanks for this Teo.
Yeees finally!🤩 Glad to read you enjoyed it - ohh interesting one, ok🙌🏼 Ahh yes Portra 400 seems to almost be a meme among the film photography community, because it's so popular - definitely want to try it out! :)
@@teocrawford This is going to be great! I can't wait for more! To bad for your project this month tho, this pandemic is really making it difficult! I hope things go great next year.
Remember, it isn't "Analog Photography" it's "Photography", Its "Digital" that is the new kid. Photography "IS" film, the other is just imitation , the sincerest form of flattery
Hey man, I think film is going to be a perfect fit for you and your style of photography. I enjoyed the photos from your first roll. Thanks for sharing!
Oh cool, yes more is in the plans - I really enjoyed it, so there's definitely more to come - I've actually got a roll of Kodak Gold waiting to be shot🙌🏼
I really enjoyed this video! My dad also has the same film camera stored in our garage 😂 and I have never gone out to shoot with it yet but I am definitely considering it after watching this! I really like how the expired film turned out and I actually prefer the magenta color more than the green! My favorite photos are at 10:01 and 10:45! Can’t wait to see some more film videos from you!!
Sweet, thank you! Oh really? Then you better try it out too - it's very enjoyable!🤩 Interesting how our tastes differ when it comes to the colour shift but the favourite photos of the session are the same for us haha :D Anyway thank you Courtney - more film photography is on the way!🙇🏻♂️
Hey really love your content this is amazing. What is your preferred camera you use for videomaking , I'd love to have a conversation and maybe even collaborate on different ways in telling stories through video !
Ohh no, please don't wish to be a man! Your gender is not the problem, it's the society! Austria is genereally pretty safe and it doesn't matter which gender you are. I hope you get to experience more freedom in the future!🙇🏻♂️
It's called DM Actionfilm. About 20 years ago it was a cheap consumer film available at the local drug store here. My Dad still had a few rolls of that film stored in a cupboard✌🏼
You seems to COMPLAIN a lot about this and that in almost all those pictures you took which is so annoying to hear. Embrace the imperfection of the film stocks (be it expired or not) because that's what it make aesthetically pleasing.
Ohh no, I wasn't intending to complain😬 I just stay rather critical with the photos and myself, but maybe I should indeed embrace the nature of film even more.
I finally did it! I hope you enjoyed following along on my first time shooting 35mm film :) As mentioned in the video, I currently don't have a proper overview of film stocks I want to try, so if you have any recommendations please tell me! :)
Have a good week,

These shots are so amazingI I want to look into shooting on film just for the experience.
Do it! I found it very enjoyable - so grab that old camera from your parents attic or else where and do it (don't procrastinate on it like I did ooops :D)

Ahh ok, thanks for the recommendations! I've indeed often eyed Cinestill films👀✌🏼

What is the app called?

Have you been able to shoot Fuji Superia 400? Or 200c? I know both of these tend to shift towards the greens.
Not yet! But I've got an eye on those Fuji films. I was quite upset lately as they announced the discontinuation of FujiPro400H, because that one was also very attractive for me😔

kodak gold 200 is one of my favorites, also fuji c200
Ok interesting - ahh I really want to shoot Fuji some time soon🙌🏼
Wonderful. I still shoot BW Film. I have heard Fuji Superia 400 has lots of green (kingjvpes said in a vid). So it might better suit your taste.
Thank you!🙇🏻♂️
Oh yes, I've been so keen on shooting Fuji so hopefully soon I can try it out🙌🏼

Nice what type of camera did you use?
Thank you! I was shooting with a Pentax K1000🙌🏼
Your shots using film are just great! 🤘🏼
Sweeet thank you🙇🏻♂️
What are these lenses especially that macro lens
love these shots! generally this magenta shift :D
Ohh sweet, thank you!🙇🏻♂️🤗
loved the magenta
Ohh cool!🤗🤗
Nice video and nice shots Teo. I quite like the magenta shift I must say 👍🏻
Sweet, thank you!🤗
Ohh interesting - it's all about taste I guess🙌🏼

I immediately came tp youtube after I read your Instagram post

I have pretty much no idea, what I’m doing ... welcome to my everyday life 😄
Oh nooo hahah😅😂
this is awesome man!
Ohh thank you!🙇🏻♂️
Great video and awesome shots man
Thank youuu!🙇🏻♂️
Hey really love your content this is amazing. What is your preferred camera you use for videomaking , I'd love to have a conversation and maybe even collaborate on different ways in telling stories through video !
Hey brother can tell the app u using for light meter?
It's just called "Lightmeter - Free"😅🙌🏼
I think all the colours look great . Perhaps you favour cooler tone.
I guess I do hehe. If you check out my digital photography I think it becomes quite clear😅❄️
Love this 😍😍
Sweeet danke dir!🙇🏻♂️
Well done !
Thank you!🙇🏻♂️
Nice pictures Teo.
Aww thanks!🙇🏻♂️🤗
Do you head mount or chest mount
Head mount✌🏼
Great experience expired films are cool.
Ohh yeah👌🏼
What's that weird app thing u use?
A Lightmeter👀
I wish i am a man and i can walk around my town bravely like you do. Im a girl, and roaming around alone and taking photos is uncommon in my place.
Ohh no, please don't wish to be a man! Your gender is not the problem, it's the society! Austria is genereally pretty safe and it doesn't matter which gender you are. I hope you get to experience more freedom in the future!🙇🏻♂️
What kind of film was it?
It's called DM Actionfilm. About 20 years ago it was a cheap consumer film available at the local drug store here. My Dad still had a few rolls of that film stored in a cupboard✌🏼
For a second I thought it was a young Mat Marash :D.
You seems to COMPLAIN a lot about this and that in almost all those pictures you took which is so annoying to hear. Embrace the imperfection of the film stocks (be it expired or not) because that's what it make aesthetically pleasing.
Ohh no, I wasn't intending to complain😬
I just stay rather critical with the photos and myself, but maybe I should indeed embrace the nature of film even more.
