Amazing! I hope you enjoy them. Your feedback is always welcome, friend. ✌🏽🖤

Thank you. Nice to look back on these.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Great question. My extended recipes have those answers. Just email me.🙏🏽🙏🏽

Yes! For sure. Pls email me for the extended recipes info@tahaphoto.com 🙏🏻

Marc! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. Awesome story. I can't wait to pick up the wide later this summer.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Definitely edited.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

@@tahaphoto thank you

@@tahaphoto how do you edit these photos? i am a new photographer and i'm just 16 years old i want to edit these photos but i dont know how to, please help me out.

@asmigaur1406 editing your own photos takes being curious. I cool hack when starting out is to edit one image with a handful of different filters. Each filter will give your image a different feel. Once you find a filter you like start editing like that. The basics are contrast, highlights, shadows and saturation. Move your dials to the left and right (- or +) until you get the hang of it. Any editing app will work. Snapseed is great and is a free app. Google it! Hope this helps!!!!🙏🏽✌🏽

@@tahaphoto thank you so much sir, helped me a lot, lots of love and support!

Great question! Thanks for asking. It's also important to always ask questions we don't know the answer to. 🙏🏽 THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION: 1. Once you finish shooting all the photos on your roll of film, you'll need to rewind the roll. (Instructions on youtube). 2. Find a camera story that scans and develops film. Google a place close to you. 3. Once they scan and develop they will email you the photos from that roll. 4. You will now have jpegs that you can post online.😊 I hope that helps! Let me know.

Yup. It's a neighbiurhood staple from time. ✌🏽😊

Email me... I got you. info@tahaphoto.com

@@tahaphoto Hi, didn't got it.. Thanks man

Ok. I appreciate that. 👌🏽

Thanks! I use the Panasonic G7 Lumix for in-studio talking head

@@tahaphoto great image

John! I appreciate you letting us in on your preferred EDC's. Those bodies look a bit chunky for my hands, I'm assuming you've try the x100v series? Wait... these are all full frames? How do you like that 25mm TTa? Thanks for watching🙏🏽🙏🏽

@@tahaphoto haha, yea, definitely not pocketable, but still light enough to carry around the neck/shoulders. I love the Ttartisan, it renders well imo, and was only $70ish.

@@JohnDAlmonte wow. Great price. 👍🏽

You're welcome, my love!!🙏🏽

Amazing! It really is about trimming down your kit. Great insight. I appreciate you watching 🙏🏽

Preaching to the choir. 🙏🏽 Funny thing is, I had to have a bulky set up to realize I don't like it.🤷🏽‍♂️ Live and learn. Thx for tuning in🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Oh, word. I appreciate that. Hope all is well and good🙏🏽

Really?! That's awesome. I wish hipstamatic was available for android. I haven't used iPhones in years. How has it shaped your photography?

@@tahaphoto I think it has shaped it a lot: I mostly use it to shoot square and it helped me to embrase the analog aspect (just apply the simulation and shoot, like with film). Basically my iPhone camera is hypstamatic and it has its own character. I use a color sim and a black and white sim. I love square format so much that it led me to get a Yashica TLR on medium format film. Later on I also started to adopt this approach with my Fuji camera by shooting JPEG only for my daily life shots. It makes the whole experience better has there is far less post processing.

I'm right there with you on sq format, hipstamatic introduced me to it as well. Then I saw a lot of sq format in Vivian Maier's work. I used to love the Nike bw filter . It was all I used. I love the tones. Film plays a bigger pRt in my photography journey every year. Thx again for sharing 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Ah, man. You must be stoked. I can wait to transition to it. Thanks for sharing, Roger!

Yes, indeed. It's tough cuz we always believe the "next shot" is just around the corner.😭😆

Ramon! I agree, I still struggle with having one free hand. It really about finding what works for you. I appreciate you watching 🙏🏽

As always, great thoughts, my friend! You make some solid points. My mobile phone really proved this when I began street photography on my iPhone4. I really loved going out with just my phone and focused on staying in tune with the streets. Such a special time. 🙏🏽 Hope all is well, Kostya!

I understand. A variety of lenses is nice to have for sure. If I have had a 2nd camera for street, it would probably be a film camera tbh. I've had my eye on the The Ricoh GR1v (35mm) for a few years now. Ill get there!😭😆. It came out in 2001, Great feel. I really do love the Ergonomics on the GR series. I've not experienced a cam like it. I've held in my hands and at least used many of the classics. I think I just connect with the GR series. Now, with my commercial work, of course, the setup is completely different. Lenses, lighting, backdrops, tripods, flashes, etc. You know the drill. My lighting for TH is a simple video, rectangle light. Usually locked in at 5000k . Had that for years. How bout you? 2nd camera options???🙏🏽

@@tahaphoto Yeah those Ricoh cameras are legendary. Not a bad option by any means. I think you’ve made great a choice. Also heard some good things about the 35mm film equivalent. My TH setup is a Skytek soft box. Cheap and gets the job done. I have a tripod and a flash too. 2nd camera option would be Em5 iii. Preciate your videos.

@prizepictures1 solid set up! Gonna do some research. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

One camera, one lens and since I left Canada to be back to Europe, no camera bag at all. I have Ricoh GRD III (great in tight European cities for candids). If I need UWA photos, I have Leica M220 with 21mm lens. If I want just to enjoy and feel like tourist with getting of nice looking stills - Leica X2. If weather is wet or I want maximum from the gear - Pentax K5 with its plastic kit lens. But I always only take one of those. Or just mobile phone. It limits me a lot technically (no fast motion photos), but this is as light as I could get. And it is my main video camera. I also have old GoPro Hero Session - it is on my e-bike to film surroundings while I riding. I have DJI Osmo Pocket and it is totally useless, can't get my head around how to and for which situations should I use it. Clumsy and very slow to operate.

James! Thank you for watching. I appreciate you🙏🏽

I'm not a big fan of clear, subway train images, they look static to me. I feel the energy comes from the motion.🤷🏽‍♂️

Lol, yes, first world probs. 😭 I usually shoot 2:3 or 1:1. There's no getting around the "perfect" ratio. 🤷🏽‍♂️ So instead, I go off of feel. 2:3 tends to do the trick in almost all cases regardless of composition. 1:1 has pushed me a lot over the years when you get that frame right it's pretty special. Maybe try looking back at your best images that tell the stories that move you. I think you'll start to see so patterns. Good luck!

First off, thx for tuning in. great kit options as well! Honestly, I love shooting with my instax wide 300 and the mini8, but now I will only use those as documentation tools / bts like you mentioned. Or maybe a special project. The miss rate is easily 75% for me. These printers make everything more calculated, and coat efficient. BUT also, there is an element of surprise with how colours translate from digital to film.. ps, I still copp the SX-70 at some point.😭

I hear you. You can get so hype and spend a pretty penny. 😭 you must control how much you print. That's why I enjoy a little project with a beginning and end.😊 thanka for watching 👀 😎

Sure! Please email me.

I agree. Thanks for the reminder. I sometimes call it "reminder insp". You know what they did and how they "technically" did it. Now let try the basics and build off of that! I love stumbling on a gateway or rabbit hole of creativity. So much to learn and so much to experiment with. I appreciate you watching.

@@tahaphoto Great attitude. Wish you all the success.

@@lensman5762 to you as well!!!

Yes to the inspiration. You can’t copy the greats as the subject matter changes all the time. Artists are thiefs. We need to steal from the best. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

@martingreenberg870 the inspo is always changing.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I really haven't had any flash issues. Does it no longer flash? How is your battery? New or old?

Thanks for taking the time to watch. It's been a fun, inspirational experiement. I feel I saved a few bucks because I knew what images I would love to hold in my hands. We'll see where it takes me. I have a few instax album holders coming in the coming weeks. I will try my best to preserve these. I hope you get a chance to print your works!

I did some research. I haven't seen any fuji cameras that can print directly to the SQUARE LINK PRINTER app. It seems fuji cameras can only read the older printer models SP-1, SP-2, SP-3 instax printers. Do you have any of these printers?

Great photo project idea! I would def get to documenting.if you watch my instax video you'll see I'm inspired by making my photos tangible experiences. You could really get creative. You gave good examples already. I wish you the best in pursuit of your dreams. Thanks again for watching 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

My friend! Thanks for watching. Historically, the image sync app is unreliable at best. It works best for me via Wi-Fi not Bluetooth. So, I still dump my SD card onto the laptop/Google drive . Select images and then upload to phone.🤷🏽‍♂️✌🏽 Hope this helps. 🙏🏻

Ian. Thank you. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Yes. That's correct. If it's saved on your camera, you can access it in the instax app.✌🏽😊

If it makes sense. No doubt. I feel we're in a time when tangible things will help us remember the memories...🙏🏽

@@tahaphoto couldn’t agree more

No doubt. 🙏🏽

This will be perfect on a road trip. Hold those memories, share those memories with loved ones. Thank you for watching 🙏🏽
