The *NOT* Expired Film Archive // Cinestill 800T in Las Vegas
zhlédnutí 135Před 14 dny
Part two of my 800 speed film comparison, Cinestill 800T in Las Vegas. I wanted to shoot it in San Francisco but I ran out of time because I doubled down on Portra 800, luckily I had a 6hr layover in Vegas on my way home so I still got to finish the roll while traveling. Up next will be the comparison of all three (lomo, portra, and cinestill)! Camera: Nikon FE2 Film: Cinestill 800T All of this...

This video was supposed to be a comparison of Lomo 800, Portra 800, and Cinestill 800T, but I spent too much time shooting Porta so now it's just a Portra video. So this will be the first part in my 800 ISO film comparison, the next video will be about Cinestill 800T and then the final one will be a comparison of all three.

It's been cold and grey in Salt Lake so what better time to go out and shoot some film.. I'm joking, it was a bad time to shoot some film but I've been stuck at home a lot and was anxious to shoot so I decided to drive up to Ogden with a roll of expired black and white film. The goal was to take a lot of pictures and not think about it. And I have to say a few of them worked out pretty nicely! ...

Last year I shot Velvia 50 in the mountains but I wasn't able to finish the roll entirely in the fall so this year I figured I'd stay with the slide film in the fall trend but load Sensia 100 and shoot it around Salt Lake. This one only has 24 shots too so I had a much better chance of finishing it before the snow. The roll expired in 2003 but I shot it at box speed in my Bessa r3m. This is onl...

The title says it all. This was my best roll of expired film every. It turned out incredible but what added to it was how little faith I had that this roll would work. It was expired Kodak Vericolor HC 100 from 1995 that I bought off eBay and the seller had no idea how it was stored. I assumed it would be terrible and I didn't care for it much at all while shooting. Camera: Mamiya 645 Pro Film:...

The goal of this project was to shoot the same scene during the spring/summer to see the snow melt and the colors change. I used Portra 400 that expired in 2018 for this because the expiration wouldn't have made a difference since it had been cold stored the entire time. What did make a difference was me unloading the film like an idiot and blasting every-frame with a ton of light. So now the p...

    Love the comparisons! I’ve been hesitant to try Lomo bc I’ve only tried their experiment films. This video has proved to be a reason for me to try it.

  • @patrickrostker6693

    Gotta get me some lomo800, as much as I love slow films, its feels fun and whimsical (?) to load fast films in my camera. Great comparison, if porty800 is ever 'on sale' then id give it a go. Cinestill will always be that blooming halation night on the town with a tripod type of fun film for me. Great vid, live this style too. 🎉

    • @gusdstevens
      @gusdstevens Před 10 hodinami

      Thanks Patrick!! I'm glad you liked the video! I know exactly what you mean about Cinestill, whenever I use it it's like a speciality film. Nothing really beats Portra 800 imo, but lomo is great, I'd definitely recommend it! If you like slow films it will be super fun to shoot. that's how I feel whenever I load 3200 ISO I just run around like crazy taking any picture I want cause I'm amazed at how much more light there is to shoot with 😂

      Thanks Tom! I'm glad you enjoyed it :) I was really surprised by how much I liked the Vegas sign shot. I was skeptical when I took it but it's one of my favorites from the roll to be honest! There was plenty to see in Vegas, I'd love to go back and wander around at dusk/night I think it would be awesome. I was just using my iPhone 11 with a wireless mic.

    Hey, I just picked up a Nikonos V to take with me on similar trips (backpacking, kayaking, biking, skiing, etc.) I love the idea of a bombproof film camera to take exploring! For this particular roll, I’m wondering if the snow confused the light meter? I find you have to shoot 1-2 stops over exposed to compensate for how much white is in the frame when in the snow. So I’m wondering if all the colour casts weren’t so much an issue with the expired film so much as they were from the light meter being fooled. And then depending on how old the film is the general rule of thumb is to expose an extra stop per decade the film is expired. So you may have had to shoot 3-4 stops over exposed to get these shots to turn out. Regardless I still think they turned out cool, that’s most of the fun of shooting film, experimenting and seeing what works! Keep it up 👌🏻

    • @gusdstevens
      @gusdstevens Před měsícem

      Yea that's a good point. Snow is always tricky! But still fun to shoot and mess around with. I can't remember if I got any other rolls with that one so I don't think I can go test it with 3-4 stops :( And for the Nikonos it's so good for a kick around camera. I've been loving mine for skiing!

    Did you say you shot it 2 stops over (iso 50)? Do you recommend that about most expired films or what’s your thoughts in general?

    • @gusdstevens
      @gusdstevens Před 5 měsíci

      Yea, the rule of thumb that I follow for expired color film is 1 stop over per decade.. So this one expired in 97 ~26 years old when I filmed the video so I went with 2 stops overexposed I rounded down to two decades because I didn't want to shoot it at 25 ISO haha. If you know that the film was stored well like in a freezer or refrigerator then you wouldn't have to overexpose as much but when I'm unsure, which is most of the time with film from eBay, then I use the 1 stop per decade rule.

    All I hear about slide film is how unforgiving it is if it doesn't get the perfect exposure. I say BS. I just shot a roll of Velvia 50 that expired in 1993. I shot it in a 6x17 curved plane pinhole camera. Because of the age, I shot at ISO 25. Being a pinhole, exposure was not precise. The photos came out great.

    • @gusdstevens
      @gusdstevens Před 6 měsíci

      Wow!!! that's pretty awesome to get good results from a pinhole camera!!! I also always here how unforgiving slides are so I thought that would translate into making expired slide film extra difficult, however, these results were a lot better than I anticipated so I'm planning on shooting a lot more expired slides in the future :) It is really cool to see the positive image right on the film!

    Nice hat. I was under the impression that you flew through rolls of film, but hearing you talk about taking 15 minutes to find the right frame and being uncertain is cool to hear. sometimes the shot doesn’t want to be taken

      Thanks!! And yeah I'm usually pretty stingy with my shots, normally a roll will be in my camera for around a month before I finish it. If I'm traveling or backpacking in this case I'll go through a roll in 1-2 days but I'll still spend a few seconds in just looking through the viewfinder before committing to the shot, cause yea some shots just don't want to be taken! And with the film prices I'm not gonna argue with that 😂

    Pro Image for the win! Looked like a fun hike too man! Nice balance of film and digi shots. Must have been fun to trek in the weather, i would have probably pushed my luck and kept shooting lol 😂. Great video 🎉

      Hahahahah believe me I was tempted to take the om-1 out but the real hold up was that I didn't want to stop in the rain lol, I just didn't want to confess that because being protective of gear sounds better than a lack of motivation to pull out my camera! but that's where the Coolpix comes through! I'm glad you liked seeing them, I'll start including more of them in my other vids!

    Shooting at ISO 25!!! Crazy how much light you need for that. Love these flower self portraits. Love the wandering thoughts and wandering shots.

    i always love when you share your expired film experiences! i’ve always been apprehensive when thinking about buying expired film off ebay but these ones came out so good!

    • @gusdstevens
      @gusdstevens Před 7 měsíci

      Thank you so much! I'm glad you like seeing these. I have had some good luck from eBay but I always go into expired film purchases expecting that nothing will work out, that way when it does it's like a bonus :)
