Using a digital camera as a visual lightmeter is also a good way to get the exposure right.
oh do you mean like set exposure with your digital camera, then copy that over to your film cameras settings?
@@UNDAMedia Yes. Take a picture with your digital camera and when you're happy with the exposure take those settings to your film camera and possibly add more time to account for the reciprocity failure.
When you "take a reading" with your digital camera remember to ignore the blown highlights and concentrate more on the midtones.
@@UNDAMedia that doesn’t give an accurate reading to long exposure shots on film due to reciprocity failure which he goes over in the video
A spot meter is more accurate than another camera
@@nickfanzo That's factually incorrect, because most spot meters are next to useless in really dark shooting situations.
a classic Sunday appointment for me: Williem's video. awesome as usual
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

I see Willem I drop everything and watch.
😂❤️
I just bought a medium format camera because of u! thanks for the inspiration man!
Same
Picked mine back up for the first time in a bit
So stoked to hear that! Have fun shooting it :))
andykmpark same here 🤘🏻
Kaimar Tauri Tamm also same haha
I've actually had pretty good luck using my phone at night. I've used the myLIGHTMETER Pro app with Cinestill 800t and I think Portra 400. I'd like to shoot a roll and compare it with my sekonic meter. It'd be interesting to see how they stack up.
amazing but where do you get your super 8 film developed?
was just wondering the same thing actually
Hahahaha
Hi, Willem! I can't find original video from 0:45. A couple of weeks ago It was on the channel, and now it has disappeared. Did you delete it?
I just have a really important question :
How many Carhartt tee’s do you have ?
Number of photos shot ^120
Can you do a video on your modified polaroid back?
Maybe in the future yes :)
Willem Verbeeck been waiting on this video since you teased it a while ago
My phone has manual camera settings, so to meter I just take test exposures on the phone. I also have an exposure calculator app so I can transpose my phone's F/1.8 exposures to my camera's F/16 exposures, and so on. I like phone metering - I can zoom in on specific parts of the scene and it'll tell me the exposure for those too.
Yes! My favorite thing about Sunday’s, your videos.
I would definitely love to see you try some Cinestill 800T at night
Willem you’re such an inspiration. Thank you.
Just bought a tripod and shutter release cable, perfect timing for this content! Cheers
FYI If you screw the cable release into the lens of the RZ you can use this to trip the shutter and the regular shutter button becomes a mirror pre-release,
clearest audio on youtube bro.
Reciprocity only clicked for me when I looked up the physics - essential each silver halide crystal on your film needs x amount of photons / unit time to be "activated". So it really is more related to the amount of light available, not the time you expose
I read that the aperture is going to be the most important thing when considering night photography. The extended exposure time doesn't do much if you're aperture isn't wide enough to get that initial light to begin with.
Great videos as always, but a newby question here:
When you use your lightmeter, do you push the film, like using an iso 400 film, set it to 100 or 200 on the camera? And if you do so, do you give the lightmeter then 400 or 100/200 iso value to get the correct time? Maybe this question is stupid af, but just curious.
Maybe someone could help, thank you.
tried out shooting night and my photos turned out really yellow and i overexposed them a bunch so may try again
Same. One thing that confused me is him saying "I shoot most of my stuff at f/8 for 8s", but literally none of his examples had that combination. I also wish he'd confirm which ISO he shot on for these, seems like a pretty big piece of information to omit (I'm assuming Portra 400 since he briefly showed a snippet of that stock? And it looks like his meter says 400).
@@ElishaDavid I'm pretty new to analogue so this might be wrong... My understanding is the shot at 5:20 for example is metered at ISO 400, which gives f8 at 8s but he has to account for reciprocity so it actually comes to about 15s (1 stop more). Then the next shot he probably metered the same way but he shoots it at f11 instead of f8 which means he needs to compensate via the shutter speed which gives f11 15s (which is the same amount of light as f8 8s) but again he needs to compensate for reciprocity so it comes out to f11 30s.
@@tastaturensohn I hadn't really considered that, good point. If that's the case I feel like it should be explained in the video. The new 'grainydays' reciprocity video actually nails this on the head (and in half the time).
can someone recommend a light meter app for android
Awesome! I love your shots from Wildwood! especially the sunset ones. that colour is amazing!
5 Tips for scooter photography next pls.
me hopping on this vid with my B&W film loaded:
well shit
You inspired me to buy my first film camera and for that I thank you! 🙏👏
Polaroid film back???
Come to Mérida México please, do a fan meet up.
I’d honestly love to see you at least try and shoot something like HP5+, I’m sure the latitude will be just fine and in the worst case scenario development can be adjusted anyway
Normally watch this before lunch but had a long day and got to watch this sippin' on my evening coffee. Coincidentally, taking my 'blad to a mall tonight just at closing to work on my series. Thanks for the tips and awesome shots!
always coming through on a Sunday to get me inspired before a shoot! even if you think you're a small photographer you're one of my biggest inspirations
That’s the best to hear!! Thank you 🙏🏼❤️
Great Video, thanks a lot! Would you recommend using an FL-D Filter against the greenish tint that can occur?
(newer subscriber, so sorry if this gets asked a lot) When shooting a house, have you ever had any confrontations? And if so, how do you handle them?
Have you tried Ilford Delta 3200 for B&W night photography? It’s allegedly the fastest b&w film so I’d imagine it’d be great.
Oh how blessed we all are to have a youtuber like yourself spittin all this film knowledge at us
I've been trying to do more night time stuff on film, thanks for making this one homie
Interestingly, my favorite film for night work is B&W. Fuji Acros.
Hey man, the picture at 1:50ish you said you exposed with 7 seconds and yet the people in the photo look still can you explain how that’s possible?
Probably didnt move that much while exposing?
Greetings from Holland Willem! Obviously you have to take note of what exact settings you use, to see later when you have the photo’s and learn from what you have done. Could you show how you take these notes? What do you record and how? How do you evaluate?
I like your films a lot!
was just shooting last night on my nikon f3... can't wait to see how they come out
6:22 is still my favorite photo of the night batch. So sick!
Thank you!!
I'm planning to shoot a night photography project for school on my RB67 but I need to get a tripod first so this was really helpful
Trying to find the night photography video you posted, specifically the one where you’re shooting the Burger King at night. But can’t seem to find it. Am I missing it somewhere? Cause I think it’s a different one than your New Jersey vid
Funny thing but I’ve used a phone app to meter my night photography with medium format...no problems at all.
Great video and even better shots.
Love that area and checked it out on google maps
Where did you get the idea to shoot there and did you stay overt a couple of days ??
Like the long exposures look, mood and stillness of the night shots. 👍 Looking forward to Mexico City shots. It's a big city. Do you have particular locations you'll be scouting? 🤔
I just binged watched you videos. your channel is amazing
Nice video, I want to do some night film photography, but don't have such a lightmeter. Do you have any tips on how to do it without one? Maybe with a lightmeter app or nothing at all?
Try slide (color positive) film for night photography. Much better reciprocity. Check out Greg Girard.
bananafreakingidiot if he’s ruling out b&w as a whole for its alleged diminished latitude, I don’t think he’ll enjoy the idea of slide film
You're a champion young man. well done from Australia
-PLEASE READ THIS-
I started film this year and night time was very difficult. I was shooting regular 200 and 400 iso. So if you have higher iso like 800 this won’t be as necessary. But By far the most important things are
1. A tripod, anything to keep it stable. The slow shutter speeds will make any movement even vibrations blurry
2. A cable release. The act of pressing the button will cause your camera to move or vibrate making things blurry.
3. A lenses that has an aperture of at least 2 or less. Anything larger like 22 will be impossible without extremely high iso
You really don’t need a lens with F/2 or less to shoot at night.
You can basically have an infinitely long shutter speed when using a tripod and cable release, so aperture becomes kinda irrelevant. \
Actually, most people like to shoot around F/8 even at night, because that’s where most lenses are at their sharpest, and you get some nice flares from light sources.
The only time you’d really NEED an ultra fast lens lower than F/2.8 (excluding when you need it because you’re going shallow DoF of course) is if you wanna do handheld stuff in low light. With very fast lenses under F/2.8, you’ll be able to shoot around that half-of-focal-length shutter speed (which is the about minimum before you get motion blur caused by handholding) in much darker conditions.
Many medium format lenses, like those for the RB, don’t even go below 3.5 or so. And that’s no problem at all.
That third point should really be reciprocity failure. Know what is is, and how to work with it. Else you’ll be underexposing your long exposures.
Stop using the light meter… Your photos will have more depth and character. You’re welcome!
Aa always a pleasure to watch your videos. I have an exam tomorrow and this really helped calm me down. Thanks Willem.
No word said about the mirror lockup? 🙄 that’s the most essential thing to do when you shoot in low light
When using a view camera all you need to do is meter for shadows and then cut development for the lights on the street. Easy
You can do the same thing for roll Film if you shoot the roll during the same light conditions
I’m glad to see you’re at f8 or above for most of these shots
It makes me feel like I have a clue about film photography😁
starting night time photography because this dude
Awesome Video like always !
you like overexposing your film, how do you manage to over expose while doing night photography without absolutely spoiling your photo
Just metering for the shadows works well :)
I lived in wildwood, thankfully I got out of that ghetto swamp.
JUST CAME BACK FROM WORK TO FIND A NEW WILLEM VIDEO! YERRRRRRR
Will the shutter cable work with minolta x700?
Very useful video Willem, thank you!
Let me ask a question: if you want to take a nighttime photo, without a special object in focus (you want to have the whole scene in focus), so you shoot at f8-11-16, where do you focus with the lens? Thanks for the answe and keep up the good work!
Look up "hyperfocal distance" if you want to get really technical about this; otherwise, focus about 1/3 of the way into the scene if you want the entire scene in focus.
Dude you cant tell me you use the worlds most high end cameras and do your voiceovers with a usb mic :(
Super impressive! It's so satisfying to see these photos that are perfectly exposed with beautiful colors.
Graphs are so important to understand the scientific aspects of film
Video on the Polaroid back would be awesome!
So the tips are "you gotta try until you get it" thanks give me back my 7min
Yo! Which speed film are you using in these shots?
Very usefull tips, thanks a lot
Where were you @ 2:02? I wanna take some sick pictures.
great video. but is there a way that the sky doesn’t look like its 6 in the morning?
Shoot larger Fstops
Filming my second video this week while on vacation. Using my AE-1 from when I was a teen and my uncles Argus C3. I will now have to do some night photography with them after seeing this.
May I know what the sec time with the aperture is about?
How do you make it look like “Taxi Driver”?
Don't have a cable release but a timed releasy
time to get a medium format for myself!
Awesome video Willem! Do you shoot at box speed? Or change the Iso?
Mooie foto’s Willem 👏🏽👏🏽😘
how much would one of those light meters cost
What iso do you use??do you change it?
5:14 the jam kicks in. Love it.
Fine job thanks for sharing
Take a shower, crack open a cold beer and sit down to watch Willem's video. Fresh.
Hi, what an amazing video. Keep up the amazing work! I look forward to your next video.
how would you go with ur iso for night films?
everything just looks better at night~
Wilhelm, man, at the 2:10 second mark there is a UFO behind you !!!!!
Check it out....
Anyway, bought a Rapid-Omega 120 to escape my DSLR habit.
Thanks for your great tutorials.
Night photographer Bo Dudas
Great tips - Thanks for posting
1:01 i like how he talked on beat
I can't find your original video on night photography. It is the one you referenced in this video where you demonstrated your technique in the Buger King parking lot. I found it to be really helpful when I first watched it and I was looking it up again to refresh my memory. It was a really good starter video on film night photography and it was what got me to subscribe to your channel. This video is super helpful also, but I think you would agree that you wouldn't have referenced the previous video if it wasn't useful. If you deleted it you should put it back up.
Cool video dude. But i totally dont like Portra for night video. Ektar maybe, but i dont believe Kodak has any good film for night photography. Except old ones
1:40 Correction, black and white film has more dynamic range than color film and can be push/pulled more.
Willem, awesome images again!
Can you talk about rating film speeds like shooting iso400 film at 200 ISO and developing it as a 400 ISO film, etc.
MAMIYA RZ67 IS A LIFE STYLE
what do the minutes mean?
hi willem, can you make a video about using a light meter please? i am confused on how to use it and been trying to learn more, if you can. thank you:)
Homie, very nice work - however, sometimes it's good to breathe in when speaking...
Wow its funny, i wanted to take long exposures on my rb67. Now this came out! Awesome
what was your ISO?
So I have a Canon Ae 1 Program. Is it better to use a light meter and set the settings manually? Or can I just set it to Program mode and it’ll work also? Right?
