Sigh if only Kodak wouldnt raise the prices so I could be okay with shooting this bangin film stock
😭
You got a lot of really great shots here! Love the pool tables, and that diner with the big old Pepsi sign. Lots of charm in those old buildings. Fun at the mall too (after-school adventure!).
When you started with that ramble about not knowing what you are doing, I instantly thought, "that's why you bracket!"
Fun post, nice little getaway.
🥹🥰😊 thanks so much!
And yeah bracket the hell out of everything
Everytime I see a Jason upload, I instantly search your channel and see a new video uploaded at the same time. It’s a double feature picture show!
Double feature baby! Twice the love
Welcome to the Nikon family. I got an FG for high school graduation way back in 1985, dug it out during covid only to find the electronics fried. So I bought another along with an FM and FE. I'll likely sell the FE soon.
Thanks. I needed a new fam haha
@6:49 Love the gum-ball machine shot.
Aw thabks!
Amazing that you found that subscribe old sign in the end! What a coincidence!
And seriously, you have some real bangers here🤘
Aw thanks!!! I love a lot of the work here.
bro your style vlogging is so... genuine and spontaneous that I legit laugh out loud with your videos man haha. Keep it up ❤🔥!
Awww thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoy them… honestly means a to
Ton * 😍
The fisheye really is great, sadly sold mine last year but I have a 20mm that is normally on the F4 at all times so I got something wide ishhh. Any 800 speed film is great, really need to shoot more of the portra though. no Cap. Great photo in the coffee shop. Old signs really are so appealing and I love seeing how a logo has changed over time. That sky light photo towards the end is so good as well. Anyways, great video and congrats on the new new.
Ahhhhh yeah broooooo thanks so much!
800 FOREVER ♾️ AND EVER
Ah Portra 800 is one of my faves too! I think it just has something extra special about it, compared to Portra 400. I pretty much always shoot it at ISO 400 (unless I’m shooting in low light), and mainly in the summer, and it captures the vibrant blues and greens of the Ontario (Canada) summers so well. The only downside to it is the price haha.
Yeah price is always the gotcha …. But I’m glad you dig it toooooo I should try it at 400 … good call
Love Portra 800 because it's still like the old Portras. Oozes personality. Also, great camera!
Totally agree! 10000000% and thanks! love it so far
Yesssss I own an FA and was going to suggest it as the perfect mash up of Nikon bodies
Dope!!! Same brain
@@BadFlashes next you should try a Leica M5 🫢
When I get my hands on one 😝
@@BadFlashes I’ve owned most M bodies at some point and always dismissed the 5, then I tried one and all the bizarre design choices made sense
Nikon FA. Matrix metering! I’m a f4 shooter myself. It’s an incredible camera! Thanks for the content and helping keep film going!
Always and forever my friend. :)
The Winnebago shot is probably my favorite, but some of the billiard table shots are pretty cool too!
Oh thanks yo! :)
Hi Caleb, only just found out you are using my all time favourite camera, it makes taking photographs so much more enjoyable, it’s the little things on this camera that I love, the film window, exposure lock and dx code support to name just a few . Just keep it quiet as they haven’t rocketed up in price like other cameras and I might buy a silver body this time around
Oh yeah. Silver would be so so hawt
I haven't seen anyone mentionning it, but that picture of Trev behind the bubblegum dispenser is probably my favorite of this episode !
Aw thanks!!! To be honest. It was his idea 💡
Great compositions on this one
Awe thanks yo!
Yoooooo nikon fa buddies now! My favorite lens on that body is the 50mm 1.8 pancake e series, well was until I dropped it and a nikomat ftn lol. To it's credit, it's still perfectly fine other than stiff focus near infinity.
But it's so tiny and light, makes the FA basically pocketable. Plus 1.8 is always great, my favorite lens for doing nighttime neon/sign photography. Good luck man!!!
Ok I’m going to check that out :)
portra 800 is 100% the GOAT i shot some at 200 recently and it turned out beautiful
Oh hawt damn that’s dope
I’m glad you got a really slept on camera but damn if they skyrocket in price because I’ve heard from more than one, including techs that they aren’t all that reliable.
That being said I’ve got the exact same one lol, even down to the red soft shutter. Also there’s a special battery grip for it as well which is kinda nice and gives it a solid heft to it.
I need to get a little grip for sure. And the soft shutter totally works well! Love it so much. Meter obviously rocks.
@@BadFlashes the ones from the fm/fe work as well but the fa had a special one. Yeah meter is insane and very space age.
heyyy i live in Bowling Green! about to graduate from BGSU this spring-if you ever come back there are some amazing parks for some landscapes-also hit up Campus Pollyeyes for some giant stuffed breadsticks and pizza
Sick...love that! ... in the mean time hit up B&C Ohio ... I think they just had a photo walk
I'm always afraid to use P800 cuz of the reduced dynamic range :(
Naw duder. It’s always been there for me. But I do give it a kiss before I load it … try it lol
LOVE Portra 800, and it's my GOAT as well, but just so spendy. I basically only use it for paid / special projects now.
Yeah I totally get that
Cool about the new camera but THAT NECK SCARF❤🔥
Hahahahaha thanks 😊
I’m trying to start a trend
Oh~ FA as in Fricken Awesome??? what lenses are you going for with that bad boi?
Right now a tamron 28-70. Came with it lol
Video is dope, I need to know the name of the track you used though lol!
Haha it’s all from epidemic sound
Echoing the P800 love...
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
that was fun. thanks. now i need to dust off th ae1 and r4 and abandon the rangefinders for a while.
ummm do It yo!!!!!!
Nikon FA, you bought one of the best camera's ever made.
I can’t complain as of now 😝😍🥰😂 solid so far
You are so funny and cool at the same time 😊
Oh my god. I need that :) thanks
Nikon FA camera, first with multi segmenten matrix exposure meter. Great little camera.
If you go further with your Nikon exploration, I Suggest the Nikon F4, the most versatile camera Nikon produced. Can handle all non-AI, AI, AI-S, AF (including the two F3AF lenses 80mm f/2.8 and the 200mm f/3.5 [careful will not work with the F4s and F4e models of the F4 camera]). Professionals did not like the slow auto-focus and jumped to Canon. But because it is under appreciated it is cheap. Careful to check the condition of the LCD (leaks) and camera back (Sticky). F4 is a beast of a camera, so can be used as a weapon during you spooky abandon building photograph sessions.
I think unfortunately the F4 is just so close to my EOS one and from Canon and I barely use that camera… :/ but never say never lol
@@BadFlashes Nikon F4 was a game changer !!! It was the granddaddy of all film SLR and DSLR camera’s because of the ergonomic design (All just copies after that).
Good choice, first camera woth matrix metering:) sadly without the grip?
Yeah unfortunately no grip. And they are like 70$. Yeah… no lol
But I like the camera :)
@@BadFlashes lastly i bought a second one in soso condition only to get the grip ;) epic feeling now!:)
Hahah that’s a good idea !!! Love that
Buying a Nikon F3 is a good decision. You have just acquired a friend for life, now add the glass and see the magic.
Yayayayaya friend for life!!!!
I know I’m 7 months late, but that picture of the guy reading in the corner, how do you take that? Do you ask or just do it?.. I come across a lot of these situations and 2nd guess it 😢
Better late than never 🤣
Also. I just took it.
Hey Caleb, nothing to do with this video, but after listening to your wedding (congratulations) picture thoughts. You're going to need maybe 3 people shooting to do what you want. Maybe Jason could stand in for you and you shoot it yourself?
Aren't there old movie sets you could use for the venue ?
Lol solid 🥳😂
Your abandoned malls are more interesting than the ones that are open here..
BTW you Guys got me into wearing HIVIZ gear when i'm shooting in dodgy areas..aka places i shouldn't be at
Haha good. Got to be safe out there
@@BadFlashes I'll do that!!! Thanks again!!
Which lens were you using for fish-eye on Nikon?
16mm 3.5 I believe
@@BadFlashesthank you! (Thought it might be that one…😊)
What camera did you shots the video? Looks old style.
For all video portion? Or the stills. Stills was a Nikon f3 and the video was a Sony a74
Mmm think i may need to buy a fish eye lens for my nikon's
Yasssss
Next weird but fantastic camera suggestion: Konica Hexar AF
Fuck yeah!?!!?!?!????
Me just over here waiting on a half frame video🙃
😘 just wait sir
Guess now is the time to sell my F3. 😄
hahaha NEVER!
half the time? still miles ahead of me 😛
😝
How do you focus on off-center subjects?
I center them up focus and recompose the image
@@BadFlashes Thanks!
Totally!!!
1:59 What's hanging from the ceiling?
hahahahah yeah ... who knows
Wide lens. Was it a 20?
16mm 😵💫🥰🤣
@@BadFlashes I should have known. I have the 20, and it can't bend straight lines into rainbows. As long as we don't overdo it, a true fisheye can bend horizons and curtain rods into swooping arcs of fun. I would run out and buy one, but I already have one for my Canon (14mm). On the other hand, mine is rectilinear, so some stuff-shirt engineer yanked the bendy fun into straight lines. So maybe it's time to scour the pockets for a fish eye. Why should bad flashes have all the fun?
Hahaha exactly!!!! Get out there!!!!!!
I would love to shoot more colour film, but the £20 a roll has priced me out!
Oh sorry :/
6:40 Gus Fring??
It’s going to be over £100 a box here soon 😢😢😢
😳😵💫😬 yeah. It’s pricy
Portra 800 is truly the GOAT especially while using a Contax T3 right Senpai?

Hahaha thanks I’ll take that :)
going to start freezing my film with these prices for it
Yeah… I would … I feel ya
Aight man…I gotta ask… at timecode 2:00.. wtf is that 😐
yeah we all want to know 😬
You sound like Ryan Reynolds to my ears.
He’s a funny guy. So I’ll take that :)
@@BadFlashes true:)
Greatest of all Time or Grainiest of all time???
Both??? 🤷🏼
3 rolls of lomo 800 40€, portra 80&
😳
Caleb, when will you quit screwing around and just buy a R8 ?
Lol an R8… when life gives me one 🙈
Good ya left Ohio before it burned to the ground
hahah from freezing cold maybe
I can tell you, a Nikon F3 is one of Japan’s best export item!
The best. End of story
yes but what about dat lomo 800 !!!!!
Dat shit is yummmmmm toooooooo
