bro this grading is insane, first clip looks like a live Ektar Photo 🤯
That's awesome to hear because that's what I was going for.. with far more grain lol
Just found your channel. Man you are speaking my language. I absolutely am in love with Ektar 100. I started shooting it several years back on 35mm, and thought "huh maybe it deserves a bigger neg".... so I started shooting it on 4x5.... oh my, it retired my d800/d850 for landscapes. It's like velvia and portra had a baby and this is it. It's so flexible if you take the time to really learn it.... Velvia 100 I still prefer for when I want "punch you in the face colors".
haha I love that take. It is better suited for punchier colors and a little more contrast than Porta but all of those films certainly have their place in any photographers bag. Thanks for the kind words, Bryce!
Steadily becoming one of my favorite film/TH-cam channels!
Great work man. Excellent music as well👍
Thank you so much, Jerrett!
That Tony's Auto sales image is one of those images that just keep getting better with age, even the patch of light on the road mimics the wall shape. Keep smashing it brother!
You've got a keen eye, Rick! Thanks for hanging :)
great photos man! really nice to see another photographer who truly appreciates the glory of Ektar.
haha its my go-to! Cheer buddy
holy crap I love the eerie feeling of that wooded area
love it! I was going for creepy so I am happy you liked it
Ektar sings under blue skies. Fav
Ektar became a favorite film of mine. Though I shoot only 35mm. I love the saturation and colors with minimal editing needed. Turns out I shot a roll of it back in college and finished it like 2 years ago. It was some gorgeous colors of the mountains and I love every shot I took! Minus a few bunk ones lol. Don't take too many shots of the same subject which wasn't in my mind at the time lol. I got a bunch of rolls of it now and I can't wait until one of my cameras is free for me to shoot it up!
Love to hear it!
Love the spot you choose bro good work i really enjoy thanks 💪
Thanks buddy! The next beer on you? lol
@@RobbieMaynardCreates I got you 🍻
Nice to see you again)
Likewise my friend!
The shot under the overpass was my favorite and it looked like a good spot for a beer break! 😁👍
haha every time I shot there, a cop was sitting right next-door lol
Hmmm.... There's always somebody ruining a good beer drinking spot. 😁👍
One of the best film accounts on here!
Thank you, Claire!
I love the Yashica Mat 124 G!!
Me too! :)
Wonderful video dude. Long live Ektar!
Yooo! Thank you so much, Brae
Brae knows.
Ektar 100 is so underrated just shot some 35mm roll in LA and they came out better than I expected
Do you mean... Elll Aaaaaa?*
see Letterkenny for reference*
I love the way Ektar 100 renders colors. Its also remarkable on deeper skin tones for portraits. Easily one of my favorite stocks. Side note: $70 for Portra 160! It’s consistently $54.95 from B&H Photo 🤫
Maybe Ive been sleeping on BH for too long. Amazon and Adorama are all over $65.
New Fan 💯 KEEP IT UP!
Thank you!
So good to here you say (1) don’t fix shit (2) blur is fine.
haha thanks buddy
Great video mate I love Ektar it’s my go too for colour work. Bit gutted when you said you weren’t articulate 🥴 compared to my multi cut videos you’re totally fluent so new sub for ya keep up the awesome content cheers paul
haha cuts done well can really make a video look nice though
@@RobbieMaynardCreates I’m getting plenty of practice 😂😂
Damn! on so many levels. I love your view of the world and how you capture it. I also love shooting Ektar, but it is sooo expensive here in NZ and hearing you say that it is $50USD (about $78NZD) for you compared to the the $120+NZD here is a little depressing. Hahaha, on a positive note at least it means I get to watch your great content though!
haha sorry, Keith. If you want to get into the seeded underground world of bootlegging film - hit me up ;)
oh hey! I recognize that building in the 15:09 shot!
haha I had to shoot it in some eerie stormy skies
I mean this in the nicest way I can, but you are exactly the type of person I expect to spend an entire roll of film at a hooters parking lot. :P
haha don't knock it till you try it
@@RobbieMaynardCreates you might be on to something with how great these photos came out.
Hey man, great video. Please please please do a grading tutorial on this video. This looks insane. Did you use Dehancer or your own powergrade? Again great shots, thanks
Thanks! I don't do much grading in post. I usually scan as flat as I can and add contrast and sharpness in lightroom. Occasionally if I really mess up my development, then I will do some color adjustments but otherwise, its minimal.
Those pictures look drawn and painted.. How did you edit them? I know Ektar has alot of reds in the shadows and blues in the highlight, did you eliminate those in post or your pushing did the heavy lifting?
I think it had more to do with the natural environment. My editing is pretty minimal in most situations. I remove sharpening in scanning. I reduce contrast and try to get a flat negative to work with in post. It makes it easier to make it feel like the real thing
Lovely tones in your images and a cool concept to pay homage to a photographer you admire. I was wondering if you would recommend the GW690II now that you have been using it for a few months. I like the way it renders color and black and white tones and the lens seems excellent. Are you a fan of this camera?
Thanks Wendy! This camera was actually the GSW 690 III - but I would definitely recommend the GW690. The lens on both cameras are excellent
@@RobbieMaynardCreates Thank you.
hm... I need to bring out my texas leica more often.
If you called it anything but Texas Leica, I would have hearted this comment. You will get a thumbs up and like it! LOL
I've shot ektar for almost 20 years. It's the only stock that I don't fuck with. 100 is $100. But good on you. Fantastic even.
Dang, I always forget how lucky I am to have it at much more reasonable price. Let me know if you need some, maybe I can buy it and ship it to you lol
Hi! When you overexpose you set your Iso to a lower value. So is it equal telling the camera to adjust the shutter speed to meet more light in? Also: is overexposing but setting a lower Iso equal to shooting at box speed but setting exposure compensation to +1?
It would actually be -1 if you have an Exposure Compensation dial which is pretty handy but to answer your first question, yes. Its completely up to you on how you want to overexpose, you can either set your ISO to lower than box speed or you can manually overexpose each individually by adjust your aperture or shutter speed accordingly to let more light in
@@RobbieMaynardCreates thanks! Just picked up a couple of film cameras and it is a very different experience vs digital. Thanks for your reply
I recommend people watching the comparison Kyle McDougal did of Portra 400 and Gold in 120, they are very similar to each other.
Why is everyone talking about Portra? This is an Ektar appreciation video lol
@@RobbieMaynardCreates Sorry HAHAHAHA I should’ve mentioned that my comment was related to the part where you mentioned Portra prices, I was in automatic mode lol. Ektar for the win dude 🙌🏽 my best looking shots are on Ektar
@13:39 It's not a Chevy, it's a Ford. lol
Yeah, I was about 700 yards away so I couldn't make out the emblem lol
How’s it behave @ 1/15th or even 1/18 of a second? I’d like to use it for motion blur photography after Ernst Haas.
I dont have a camera that can shoot at 1/18th so Im not sure but Im sure shooting anything hand held at 1/15th would be pretty blurry
@@RobbieMaynardCreates 1/8th** my apology
Been shooting my GSW690ii and I love the wide lens on it, I go through 3-5 rolls every time I go out and I wouldn’t trade it for anything out there. The resolution and the colours are amazing! What’s your take on it?
I feel 100% the same way! I am working on a review for it but its slow going but it'll be out soon lol
You’re my favourite film photographer on TH-cam, your videos are a vibe especially when smoking a cigar whilst shooting as I do the same 😂
What tripod are you using?
Nice work, Robbie. Question about how many rolls of 120 film , do you get out of a liter kit ? I'm on roll 5 of Cinestill and add 2% to the develop time for each additional roll. Thanks. Ken
Smart, KB! I do the same with adding time. Did you get the liquid kit or the powder? I find that the liquid kit gets me about 15 rolls but the powder kit can last me several months. I usually lose track of rolls at a point. Its always important to make sure you're thoroughly washing before every step to improve the longevity.
@@RobbieMaynardCreates liquid kit. Adorama has discounted @ $30 , just ordered a backup. KB
Do you prefer the gw690iii over the ii
Hey! So I have shot with the GW690 II and the GSW690 III and I much prefer the mark III versions because it doesn't sound as cheap. I know that's a small thing but it goes a long way in building confidence with a camera
Ahh okay thanks and btw love the videos ur definitely my favorite film channel
@@olivermgeirsson1328 Thank you so much!
@@RobbieMaynardCreates My II says it's insulted... LOL shooting in the Smokies with it this week
lol here it's like 70+ on amazon and a 100$ if you go to the store... still love it tho
Damn man... that is insane. Hopefully Gold 200 is a little more reasonable.
@@RobbieMaynardCreates it is around 65 too xD while portra 400 is around 75(amazon prices)...if i am going to pay premium prices anyway might as well go with portra (i do often shoot Ilford fp4 tho, love the rendition and it doesn't leave a hole in my pocket lol)
1:56 ISO 100 is NOT DIN 100, ISO 100 is DIN 21. ISO 125 is 1/3rd of a stop different than ISO 100, not 1/4.
That's a Ford though...
My girlfriend is from Connecticut and looks at me like I’m insane whenever I say sub..because according to her, grinders are what they are. Haha.
I've called it all of them except hoagie lol
But shooting 160 at 125
Iso would overexpose the film not under... to underexpose you'd have to shoot it at 200.
Its Ektar 100 not Portra 160.
@@RobbieMaynardCreates whoops! I don't know where I got 160 from! Boi you right!
Sweet shots by the way. I'm also on that 6x6 life haha
@@pausANDplay haha no problem! it happens all the time. You actually had me worrying. I spent like 15 hours editing this video and I was hoping I dindt make a dumb mistake.
@@RobbieMaynardCreates I totally get it man. I thought I was crazy because I just had some 160 in my camera and I wasn't trying to be underexposed vs over 😂😂
