I appreciate how you talked through you decision making for setting exposure and considerations for composition. On a side note, I haven't shot my K1000 in a long time and you are making me itchy to put a roll through it.
It takes imagination to capture interesting images in a dreary location and you did just that. 10 years ago I moved from the Adirondack Mountains to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and changing gears was a challenge. I used to be able to capture interesting images without leaving my house. Just about any place I went to in the mountains resulted in interesting images. Urban photography is a whole other story. Lately, work has kept me too busy for taking pictures. The buildings have become the mountains and traffic has become the river.
Really enjoying the quality of your new videos. You put the film through its paces in a style that would typically be used by people, this makes it really informative for those that want to see what the film can do from an everyday type shoot. No gimmicks or tricks, just straight up walking and shooting what you find.
This is one of the best videos on your channel. It was so much fun watching you take the photos and hearing your thoughts behind them. I'd love to see more videos like this
I recently shot a roll of P3200 and I love every single bit of it. The grain, the contrast, dynamic range (recovering shadow details in post). I think this is my new bw favorite.
Hey Matt, great video. One trick I've learned with the k1000 and dof preview is to press the lens release and carefully rotate the lens until the aperture lever loses contact. You'll know because if you are stopped down the view finder will darken. Just don't go too far, lol. It's a hack I know, but it works.
Man, Chillicothe has some fantastic historic architecture. What a great place to explore! Reminds me of Walla Walla, Washington, where I went to college and got into film photography. I would also spend hours behind old businesses shooting B&W film
Matt, on the K1000, if you press the lens release and turn the lens as if taking it off but stop short of taking it off the aperture will stop down to the selected aperture enabling you to see your depth of field, turn the lens back on and shoot or select a new aperture for desired depth of field. It is a pain in the ass, but great for lenses without a depth of field scale.
Great video Matt, I’m enjoying the new content. It’s nice to see you working the scenes and talking ya through your thoughts. Keep up the great work. Top job from Levi also 👍
I'm so upset I wasn't in Chillicothe when you were shooting! I lived there for two moths before relocating to Nashville. Glad you got to see the town though!
Really enjoyed this video, it's nice to see your entire process in the field, and I hope you'll make more videos like this once you're fully recovered.
Awesome video eerie sujects, sign of the times eh Matt. Brings back so many memories back in the day I used to shoot sport for my local weekly. In the grim depths of a long dark winter season in Yorkshire the paper would give me a roll of Tmax 3200 which I had to push to 6400 to stand any chance of a decent shot at 2.8. The results were grainy as all hell I hated that grain at the time but looking back now they actually look like authentic photographs full of atmosphere. I've just dug out my old Minolta 9 and put a roll of colour film through it, I was blown away by the results and the enjoyment I got from it. Tmax 100 and HP5 are next targets on my chan, cant wait. Great vid mate thanks for sharing.
I really love this style of video and all the shots were great. It's fun to see you out and about and sharing your thoughts about every shot. I can't think of a better format to teach without actually sounding like it. Please do keep this up - I'm really looking forward to the next one!
Cool Video, Thanks. I used to shoot TRI-X and develop in Accufine for pushed speeds from 1600 to 3200 and got some MONSTER grain. Guess I'll have to find some TMAX 3200 and shoot some low light subject matter. Keep up the good work!
I really liked the format of this video-- getting out, taking pictures, and talking through your process. P3200 is a pretty nice film stock. I didn't find the grain objectionable, at least from my computer screen. lol. Look forward to more videos like this in the future.
like the new format as well. I mainly shoot digital but have an old rollei 35s. just does not have a battery in so have to meter with my phone which keeps me from shooting because it is annoying but your new videos make me want to go out with that old thing and shoot 'everyday' stuff cause you make it look cool.
By far the best looking results I've seen from this film. Many examples seem to be overly grainy (I know it's high-speed) but yours seem to be well controlled. Good stuff!
Great video and I hope you are finally able to enjoy some of the warm weather the last few days. I'm going to try to get out and shoot this weekend myself. Keep up the great work and i'm enjoying these 'out of the office' type videos :).
So I just got gifted a K1000 and found this video. I’ve been watching your channel for ages - so Matt shoots a K1000 (yay) - but the best bit is that my younger son is also called Levi! (We don’t get many of those in UK!) Hope all well with you and yours.
I may just be new to your videos, but I really like how you walk us through your shots ! Really calm yet exciting and informative! You got yo'self a new subscriber :D
Great to see someone shooting a Pentax for once! Great camera that is greatly underappreciated. That lens is almost too stubby to use without getting a finger or knuckle in the image though. You got some good images! I preferred the missing vine shot that you did low with the inclusion of part of the window. Nice!!
Cool town you have over there.. pretty quiet! Love the buildings, would have fun over there for sure doing photography. I find your photos came out real good.. gonna have to shoot some 3200 soon :)
Great video! I'm amazed at the lack of graffiti on the walls. Graffiti can be cool an all but it would be nice to be able to shoot a "clean" wall once in a while, witch is hard to find where I live (in Stockholm).
Man I'm over here bugging out on you. I live in NYC and sometimes I'll walk around for hour's and not find anything interesting to me to shoot. And your in that dead ass town shooting line's on the pavement for parking spaces and it looks nice! LoL, you have excellent prospective and composition. SUBSCRIBED!
1) I approve of your choice of camera brand. :-D 2) A well maintained espresso machine in a well-lit store with plenty of china cups is a good test of black-and-white photography (including development). If you can reproduce that well, you're doing it right. And if you have a macro or close-focus lens, you can have a lot of fun with close up pictures of all the knobs and protrusions.
Matt, I plan to attend a night time photo shoot at The NC Transportation Museum. Feature is the 611 Stream Line Steam Engine. Will be using a Nikon F2. So, think I will need 3200 asa film. As Engine is black should I underexposed? Thanks in advance for help.
Great camera. Nothing like a Pentax K1000. Used one in my photography class. Just wondering what developer and fixer would you recommend to a person who wants to start their on film processing?
Love the sound of a K1000
I appreciate how you talked through you decision making for setting exposure and considerations for composition. On a side note, I haven't shot my K1000 in a long time and you are making me itchy to put a roll through it.
Do it!
My favorite 35mm film. I use it a lot for nature and forest work. It leaves an etching look if done right .
Loving this new video format Matt. Keep it, it looks great!
Good to see another great video, and great on shooting 3200 during daylight!
I love hearing your thoughts as you take photos, it makes a huge difference in the quality of the video.

this is my favorite video of your channel !!!! This is where it all started!! This video was the one that got me into film photography!!
I really enjoyed this type of video. Describing what you are seeing and trying to capture was appreciated.
Cool video! I like this kind of format :) Your tips regarding exposure and metering settings are very informative !
One of the best photography videos I have seen. Nature sound, photo clicking and personal comments... CONGRATS! BTW, pictures are very good ones too.
Love you Levi and thanks for filming, you unsung hero.
This is one of the best videos on your channel. It was so much fun watching you take the photos and hearing your thoughts behind them. I'd love to see more videos like this
Great video man. Love the photos, the editing and the way Levi films these episodes.
Outstanding! Love the industrial buildings and the awesome black and white rendering of poor light!
Dude. I love these walk around videos. Great work.
I recently shot a roll of P3200 and I love every single bit of it. The grain, the contrast, dynamic range (recovering shadow details in post). I think this is my new bw favorite.
Always cool. Enjoy hearing you think thru each image and setting decisions

Man no offense but your city looks like a ghost town
the death of America my friend, the mid west is suffering
but it does look kinda cool because of that ngl.
I really like it, my city has too much peope
that k1000 makes the most satisfying noises i've ever heard come out of a k1000
Matt loves portrait orientation!!
Artur just gonna post that
Matt, on the K1000, if you press the lens release and turn the lens as if taking it off but stop short of taking it off the aperture will stop down to the selected aperture enabling you to see your depth of field, turn the lens back on and shoot or select a new aperture for desired depth of field.

Great video Matt! I really like how you share your thought process behind each photo!
Great video Matt, love how you talk though your shots before you take them
One of the best photo walks
Great video Matt, I’m enjoying the new content. It’s nice to see you working the scenes and talking ya through your thoughts. Keep up the great work. Top job from Levi also 👍
Another great video and great job to Levi on the cinematography!
Thanks for the upload, always a pleasure!
Seriously good video! Loved the stepped up quality...would continue to enjoy the chill "at home" episodes mixed with these! Keep up the good work!
I'm so upset I wasn't in Chillicothe when you were shooting! I lived there for two moths before relocating to Nashville. Glad you got to see the town though!
Love the shutter and the advance lever sound
Very nice one! Like this new format a lot!!
I love your work Matt, your channel gives hope to film photography so well done and keep up the good work. Greetings from Malta in Europe.
Very inspirational! This video definitely motivates me to grab my camera and go outside shooting my town.
great review. I've never shot B&W 3200 ASA. am gonna try it. thanks for great video
Really enjoyed this video, it's nice to see your entire process in the field, and I hope you'll make more videos like this once you're fully recovered.

K1000 is such a great camera. Thanks for sharing the Video Matt.
Great stuff! Thanks for all the effort you put in for us Matt!

Impressed with the contrast on that 3200 film...nice vid man.
Great job Levi. Mr Day you have answered a ton of questions for me a lot of my black and whites come out just blah grey This was great video thank you
Great video. It is very informative to hear the thoughts behind the shots. Keep up the good work!
Nice one. Good review. I takes me back to good old days!
These are great videos!! Field tests and shootings. Keep doing matt!!!
Your town looks so welcoming
Ryan Kolczaski lol, what?
Good stuff mate, love to see these kinds of videos with the shot taken and then photo edited in straight after. Props to Levi too, looks great!
My god, the mirror slap from the K1000 nearly blew out my speakers! lol It sounds exactly like my Nikon F3 mirror. Great video, per usual for Matt.
Pentax K1000 community! Let's go!
Great video and I hope you are finally able to enjoy some of the warm weather the last few days. I'm going to try to get out and shoot this weekend myself. Keep up the great work and i'm enjoying these 'out of the office' type videos :).

Thanks for the information on the new film.
the picture with the bird on the street light is insane!!
Awesome as always!
Liking the new video style with Levi doing his thing! Nice shots on the P3200 too.
Awesome video Matt. Loving the new format! slick 👌
I may just be new to your videos, but I really like how you walk us through your shots ! Really calm yet exciting and informative! You got yo'self a new subscriber :D
Great film review! I just recently shot a roll of this film in my Nikon F80 with a nifty fifty - loved the results!
really like the new setup of the your youtube videos!
at the tmax 3200 is amazing.
Great to see someone shooting a Pentax for once! Great camera that is greatly underappreciated. That lens is almost too stubby to use without getting a finger or knuckle in the image though. You got some good images! I preferred the missing vine shot that you did low with the inclusion of part of the window. Nice!!
Great video! I really enjoyed this one. The Pentax KX had DOF preview and mirror lockup.
Cool to see you out side your studio ))
awesome video Matt
the first wall shot was amazing
Tmax 3200 is clean for a 3200 speed film! Makes me want to shoot it.
Yes it was another good out n about video.
Cool town you have over there.. pretty quiet! Love the buildings, would have fun over there for sure doing photography.
I find your photos came out real good.. gonna have to shoot some 3200 soon :)

Bellissimo video, bravo!
Good to see you outside for a change ! 😂😂😂
perfect roll!
Dayam just discovered your channel brother loving it so far.
1) I approve of your choice of camera brand. :-D
2) A well maintained espresso machine in a well-lit store with plenty of china cups is a good test of black-and-white photography (including development). If you can reproduce that well, you're doing it right. And if you have a macro or close-focus lens, you can have a lot of fun with close up pictures of all the knobs and protrusions.
love that sound!
Great vid man. Loved the educational format
a joy to watch
really enjoyed the video! thanks a lot, so much to learn from that!!
Man, that's a clean film for iso 3200
bet he still chucklin' 'bout the trash bit
Great shots! Pretty informative video. like that alot. Continue this way ,please!
Really cool video man, I enjoyed the new video style. Keep it up!
Great video and great camera but I wonder if 1/1000s outdoors is not limiting you in choosing the shots using a 3.200 ASA film
A massive coffee and a K1000, my plans for tomorrow ;-)
That bird shot 👌🏻
"This is trash tv!"... I love this guy...
Nice one Matt, and the trash tv joke killed me 😊😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I love my Pentax
Laughing at your own "trash tv" dad joke is such a dad thing to do haha
Matt, I plan to attend a night time photo shoot at The NC Transportation Museum. Feature is the 611 Stream Line Steam Engine. Will be using a Nikon F2. So, think I will need 3200 asa film. As Engine is black should I underexposed? Thanks in advance for help.
Great camera. Nothing like a Pentax K1000. Used one in my photography class. Just wondering what developer and fixer would you recommend to a person who wants to start their on film processing?
