I did try the Ilford 400 B&W with great results. My second roll was a cine still D400 and the pictures look as if they were taken in 1981.. proportionally the images are very well put together but they look old.(vintage) I still have to develop the Portra 400 color and Fujifilm 400. So far my favorites photos are the B&W ones (Ilford 400)
Ilford stocks are always safe and great. Some other good black and white films are Arista Edu 100 & XP2 Super 400. Try out some Portra 160 and let me know what you think. :)
I love it ! do you use the lightmeter before every photos or just in the beginning of your walk ( before the 1st photo)? Thank you in advance from Paris ☺️
Hiya! I usually go to Aden Camera by College Station. They are quick 1 hour for colour, 1-2 days for black and white. Downtown Camera is another but they take about a week to get back to you. C-41 Labs and Annex Photo are some others you can check out.
Love your art!! I'm learning my AE-1 program and getting used to metering (I only shot digital prior to my AE-1)...I saw that you metered for 3 different objects in your shot. I'm assuming highlights, shadows, and a middle grey...out of those multiple readings, what did you decide to go with? Thanks so much for your knowledge!
Thank you! That's nice you are trying out film, it's a fun process. I usually go for the middle and general/overall metering of the scene. Nothing special!
@@MayShi thank you so much for replying and sharing your knowledge. There are a lot of film guys on TH-cam who have a chip on their shoulder and refuse to answer technical questions. Thank you for allowing others to learn about this amazing medium 💖
@@adamhymel2386 yea, I never understood that. If you really love the craft you should share and encourage others to do more of it. Would love to see your photos when you shoot more of your AE-1 Program! It's a great and straightforward cam. :)
There are multiple options! When you send your finished film to your local lab they can also scan them for you. Or if you are ambitious and more into shooting you can invest in a flatbed scanner and scan yourself. Last option is to shot the negatives with a macro lens. I hope that helps!
Hi, I'm interested in buying a camera like this, I'm a beginner, do you think it could be a good option? And a doubt I have is whether what I see in the viewfinder is close to the photographed image? I have many options of brands and models and I have many doubts about which would be the best option for me. 😊
Hello! I think the Canon AE-1 is a good beginner option. But have you looked into point and shoot film cameras? I would actually recommend those instead of these SLR type cameras if you are new to photography. For the Canon AE-1, the viewfinder is quite accurate with the photo in terms of framing and composition, colours and exposure will depend on your film stock.
I think they discontinued this app. It was just called 'Light Meter' for Android. The app store should have other metering apps. I just haven't tried them to know how they are, sorry!
You can get them developed at camera shops that have film labs. In TO, there's Aden Camera, Downtown Camera, Annex Photo, and West Camera. :) My go-to is Aden Camera since you can get colour ready within 1 hour. Once you get into it more you can even develop them yourself.
What would happen if you use a Kodak Gold 200 film and change your ISO to 800 on your camera? Do you have to always leave the ISO at the number that your film is at?
The ISO on your camera does not change your ISO. It's how you expose your film based on the settings. Do you have a light meter built in your camera/app/seperate light meter? And if you shoot Kodak Gold 200 based on 800 settings, you would have to shoot the entire roll with 800 settings to expose properly. Also, when you go to the lab to get it developed you need to tell them that you shot at 800.
@@MayShi I don’t have a film camera yet. I am looking into buying one. I am trying to understand if I buy Kodak Gold 200 would I be able to up the ISO on my camera and such? Help me understand the whole film number along with the the ISO on the camera. And why would I have to tell the lab that I increased the camera’s ISO? Thank you.
@@royaltykidstv do you know the basics of photography like how ISO, shutter speed and focusing works? If you just started getting into photography, I would recommend you start with a point and shoot camera since most settings are all automatic and you won't feel so overwhelmed. Think of the ISO on a film camera as just a reminder for you that you put Kodak Gold 200 in. It doesn't actually change the ISO of your shots like a digital camera would. The Kodak 200 is made for shooting at 200 so if you shoot at 800 (it's called pushing) then the exposures and grainyness of your shots will increase. ( I also don't recommend pushing 200 so much, better just to get a 800 film like Portra 800, Cinestill800T or Lomo 800). This is a pretty informative article on pushing and pulling film: thedarkroom.com/pushing-and-pulling-film/ About the lab, since the film is made for 200, the length of how they handle the chemicals changes. So, you will need to tell them you want them exposed at 800.
@@MayShi I do know the basics of how a camera works. Let me ask you this, if I buy Kodak Gold 200(due to being affordable), if I stick to ISO 200 would I run with better luck?
@@vihanyektania yay, my first hate comment! Look ma, I'm making it! Shooting film doesn't mean being forced to use non-analog sources. I also often shoot manual. I just use the phone app light meter as a guide to start. Perhaps you can make a video shooting with a film SLR without using a light meter and have perfectly exposed photos. Show me how it's done :)
Just got into film photography! This video gave me great Inspiration for different kinds of shots

Do you recommend the Portra 400 for outside ?
Yes, generally! But depends on how much light you have outside. Daytime is usually fine.

Hey, greetings from Colombia!
Do you digitaze the photos or print them?
Hello! When I go to the film lab I get them scanned. So, digitalized :)
I like it, so beautiful
Thank you very much!
Nce job with the dull weather...
Thank you! Always a challenge but that's the fun of it :)
Hi what is the name of the light meter app?
It's just called 'Light Meter - Free' ! You can't change the exposure compensation on it but it's still pretty good.
