Video

I enjoy taking film photos once in a while. I think I go through a roll of film every few years or so and its always fun to see the old photos.

He does not seem to know much about SLR'S, Like my Canon AE-1 most of them from the 70's on have built in exposure meters and won't actuate the shutter if there is too much or not enough light, so there is no need to purchase a light meter or something like that as he advises, Hes probably just a actor reading a script.

HP5 is already very grainy, don´t you get too much grain with +2 stops?

Are the film rolls in the room with us?

Thanks for this informative video and really vibrant pics. For the M6, did you meter for the shadows and shoot at box speed?

“How many metaphors should we use?” “ALL OF THEM” “but..the viewers won’t understand with so much nonsense and only odd comparisons.” “IT DOESNT MATTER… ICE CREAM, PIZZA, CRAZY EMOTIONAL FEELINGS INSTEAD OF RELEVANT FACTS!” “dear lord what are we about to watch”

I don't think children should be exposed to photography until they’re more developed.

Man you make excellent videos. Thanks for the effort you put into them.

One piece of equipment you should have is a handheld light or spot meter

Moon landing was in 1969, not 68. Concerned I'm the first one to mention that....

Actually the worst clickbait video I've ever seen. None of these are secrets, this is just obvious.

Great venue for B&W photography and some beautiful shots! Also love your dry humour! Did you use any B&W colour filter to darken the sky, for example, yellow, orange or red or any polarizer? Also may I ask please what lens you used? The shot at 9:55 is indeed a beauty!

He wasted film roll by giving it digital look 😂😂😂

My first film SLR is Canon EOS Rebel X it was cheap and I still have it with me and the best thing is in my opinion is the EF lenses even I could rent an EF lens and auto loading and reloading. the results are really stunning. I’m not gonna lie it’s still I still use it sometimes it was worth it and it still is.

I don’t like the sound of my Canon slr cameras too loud my Nikon F3 is quieter on the street.

Your video color grading looks very filmic. Well done!

Do you shoot superia at box speed or at iso 200?

Yeah these GAS prices have been getting crazy lately😅😝

Some of these pictures mentioned here are just so iconic. Tiananmen square and Afghan Girl, both taken on the FM2, imo one of the greatest cameras of all time.

Fantastic video. The best beginners video I’ve seen.

Why am i watching this lol

I like your wording a lot. Also the examples with the ice cream in the beginning 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 thank you for not judging SLR over or under Rangefinders… I also use both ❤ thank you and greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

If you would stop saying eye-so (ISO), the images would be more I-appealing (eye).. grins

It’s like someone put Jason and Caleb’s personality on a map and selected the point directly between the two. Nice video.

Hahaha “cheap cameras” in the first part you are so wrong. Also, you are not mentioning (as all the other youtubers pseudo phorographers) the large format (if you are introducing positive film why not mention the bigger formats?) and the correct way to end the processed film is to do a print with an enlarger machine and scan it, is cheaper and way better that scan negative because there are 3 ways to do it (a roll scanner for example) and every one of them have variations in quality, so to look the photogram properly you need the print (and please don’t “scan” with a digital camera that is a sacrilege)

The Olympus OM1 is either one of the world's best cameras or I'm just lucky because my shots from that thing can easily stand toe to toe with my modern mirrorless systems. It's a hammer of a machine with some world class glass. I got 2 of them with 5 lenses for $120

That Hasselblad was pretty heavily modified, IIRC. And the film was rushed immediately to the darkroom upon landing.

It also has a lot to do with the lens and the film. Ektar 100 for day, Cinestill 800 for night and Tri X for black and white.

A few years ago i got a beautiful late 50s Canon P rangefinder. I loaded Ektar 100 in it, took it on a trip and started to carefully take what I thought were beautiful photos. I was getting close to exposure 36 and then was able to take another exposure and another and another and another and another and after about 45 exposures I realize something was wrong. Low and behold I fell to the first I fell to the first problem this video. The leader of the film was not connected properly. Lol.

Awesome video, with a lots of Information. Just one point: measuring for the shadows: it actually means, that you take a spot meter, measure the shadows which are the darkest area you still wish to see some contrast in. Then you put this measurement in the correct ‚zone‘. The theory is, that a standard developed film has the ability to handle a stretch of an equivalent of 11 aperture steps from pure white to pure dark. Zone 0 is black and zone 10 is white. So if you open one aperture, you double the amount of light. This means, each zone is a doubling or halfen of the exposure. A normal lightmeter exposes for zone 5 (I think). So what you do, when measuring the shadows, you put them in zone 1. then you calculate your exposure for zone 5. e.g if you measure 1/30 in zone 1 you go up 4 steps: 1/60 - 1/125 - 1/250 - 1/500. And, because you want to make sure, that you really have some buffer, you put your shadows in zone 2 and expose 1/250.

Would you still use the hd5 or are you shooting tri-x now? I think hd5 is cheaper. Did you shoot most of these with the sunny 16 rule or did you meter? Great content. Thanks!! 😊

Great video. Boy do I hand GAS. Lol. Canon QL17 iii rangefinder, canon P rangefinder, canon a1, nikon F and many lenses for them 😮 but, i LOVE shooting with all of them as it gives me great joy. Thank you 😊

Great video. Nikon F sells for 100 bucks on ebay and they are tanks! They were the primary camera used throughout the Vietnam war by photo journalist and also went to the moon on Apollo 14. You can’t go wrong. 😊

Good video

Good lord, who wrote this?

Another Solid Video. A joy to watch twice!! Getting those view hours up for you.

Hey Man. I really enjoy your format, details and Humor. THank you for putting in so much effort into your videos. I would like to suggest if you could leave the photos on the screen a few second longer and even possible hit one or two points that make that photo good or not so good. Gave you a like and a Sub. I look forward to more of your videos.

Enjoyed the video, I wish you would stay longer on your photos so I could see them better! Really beautiful and I want to appreciate them more! Nice work!!

Great video man, I'm only starting out with film photography and everything made perfectly sense (unlike some other videos).

Ryan Goslings lost brother! Thats who you reminded me about..good one Grainmaker!

Very well made- got me to subscribe half-way through...clear, concise, informative. Keep it up. And I am not a beginner !!

Looking to get into film soon soo this was very helpful! Thanks for a great video!

My camera doesn't have an ISO setting.

Great video. Subscribed.

I’m still new to photography. I have an old Spotmatic in great condition with working fairly accurate light meter. I use HP5 a lot. Can you explain what pushing 2 stops means and what that actually dose. Doh, I just found the other video on it. Although the Spotmatic only has 1/1000 shutter speed.

Great Video! Thanks for the help

Love the Nikon F3, Hasselblad 500CM and RB67 ProS, while the RB67 is large and heavy I actually use it more for color landscape shots than my 4x5.

We used to pull the original down to 200 ASA and develop in Microdol-X. Beautiful tonal range and fine grain. Good times . . . All Ilfords are to contrasty IMO.

Comox! I spent 7 years there. I even spent some time washing some of these aircraft back around 1998.
