You're a rebel, I see
I noticed that too :D
Same iso tho...
I overexposed in the middle of the road once. Cops were called :(
Underrated comment
Bans shitposting on the FB group - shitposts on the YT page instead
^What.
Xed are you smoking horseshit?
I think the flash photo looked best at 800.
I'm seriously liking your channel and your uploads! Very stylish aesthetically while delivering prime info. Thank you so much for sharing!
Is it bad if I watched this just to see how off I can be without ruining the photos?
Over the years I keep coming back to this video. It’s excellent education and sometimes I need a reminder!
You should notice that are OVERexposing at 200 ISO and UNDERexposing the film at 800 and 1600 iso

Thanks captain obvious.
Thanks Norman - Captain Asshole And The Best Photographer On Earth Who Never Was A Beginner. Maybe you were even born with a moustache and born as a photography expert.
@@normanm11 loool
Why is everyone mad at Guillermo? Hes just correcting an error.
wait I don’t get it someone explain please? I thought 200 iso should be darker?
Love your channel, subbed last summer and keep getting a flow of super quality content. Keep up the amazing work and thank you for being a really good source for film photography tips!
-sincerely, a film photographer who can never find info about film anywhere
Awesome video. This channel is great. Top quality.
In the first round of shots I actually preferred the 400 and 800 shots for some reason.
There's definitely no right or wrong! It's all preference.
What's the app you're using ?
Man Wai Lumu Light Meter :)

Simple, clear and well presented video. Thank you. Keep this great work up!
Hey Man!
This is by far my favorite video to date, so simple and so deeply interesting. Thanks so much for sharing and be sure to stop by Toronto some time.
Seriously though, I found it interesting how I preferred the tones when overexposing in natural light but then preferred the look of under exposing with the metz! P.S. lovely shots too
yeah it's so strange, I guess in normal portraits it's nice for less contrast and smooth tones, but when using a flash you really want that contrast
yah yah, I think overexposing really reduces the contrast in the lighter tones, hence the reduced saturation. Underexposing seems to saturate those same tones
The Metz looked like it was overexposing anyway. Was it in auto mode? It's a variable that makes the test a waste of time unless the flash was in full manual power mode. Face on flash is totally unflattering and harsh.
Did it not occur that is was more likely his flash position/settings that caused the photo to look horrible. This guy is a crap photographer. Hasn't a clue about how to use flash properly.
On the test with the flash, there's two components to the exposure: Ambient and flash. What you're seeing is the difference in colour temperature between the bulb and the natural light source, in conjunction with the under/overexposure characteristics of the film.. As a result of changing the iso setting, the camera has compensated by changing the flash power or shutter speed, which has changed the lighting ratio, which has upset the colour balance.
This could explain it
nah, this is def it.
Still the best music on any channel on CZcams. Incredible tracks and camera videos!
really enjoying this content. Keep them coming please! Can tell you guys work hard on it
It'll be cool to see you playing around capturing motion blur pictures! Always looking forward to your vids!
This video is perfectly timed! I just got my first pack of Portra 400 film :) I'm surprised with the look of the underexposed Portra @800 (1:24), it looks really awesome in my opinion yet from what I've heard most people overexpose Portra. I guess in terms of shadow detail it's not really ideal like you mentioned in the video.
been practicing this technique lately, love the way the first shot looks at 200!! great vid
Another cool video... I usually overexpose color negative...to me the color and images overall look better when I overexpose. But WOW, your photo one stop under looks really good to me. I'm going to have to try that. The little lack of detail, the subdued and grainy cast...all that added a nice bit of drama to your shot at 800...very nice! Anyway, thanks again for sharing George... really cool stuff.
Great videosl! just got back into film after 6 years of shooting digitally ,looking forward to the transition after finding all the information on your channel.
Such a clean channel! Love it
music is always so dope on your videos
Awesome video my man! Love the vibes
Hey man, thanks for the video, could you do something similar for B\W as well? I never really seem to get the hang of it when trying to expose it correctly
When you lower the box speed to you still need to use your exposure adjustment. And does the exposure adjust only works when your in manual or it could also work when your at aperture mode?
Love at 200 and 800 is interesting too. Nice comparison, great video !
Matt Day sent me! I'm an instant subscriber! You have a great channel!!
Thanks for all the in depth information it has helped me a great deal. do you ever use a hand held spot meter or is your phone just perfect and convenient?
Excellent video, George. Thanks for sharing. Question: when over and underexposing, how do you meter? Does following the in-camera meter yield the results shown in your video or is there a process you use that isn't shown?
Hey George, idk if you rely to comments on your older videos, but I wanted to ask:
I just recently got a Metz 45 and I was wondering if you used the auto mode during your shoot or if you used manual? I'm trying to figure out how to properly meter mine without a flash meter, hoping that the auto mode is reliable
I have a question: did you keep the same f stop when you overexposed and Underexposed?
Hi! Do you use an app to get explicó settings on the camera ? if so , which one ?
Just a newbie question. So if I'm using a 400 box-speed film, I should overexpose to 200 in good light and 800 in darker settings to get the best out of photos?
I'm love with your videos ❤️
Amazing video. I want to ask u, all these shots developed normally like a exact box speed?
So would you use your light meter at 200iso to overexpose or change it to the 200 setting on your slr?
may i know whats the app called?
Just discovered your channel and I love all your videos! Just curious, how do you afford and where do you buy all these cameras?
I've always wanted to do this experiment because I assumed it was better to overexpose. Turns out my preference was spot on. I personally much prefer the over exposed look although I was only going up to 2/3 over. Perhaps i'll try one or even two whole stops over on my next trip.
All I can say is I wish I'd have seen this earlier !! I legit had a shoot I was so excited about in NYC and the conditions were as close to this as possible. Though it's still one of my favorite shoots (It was my first online mag feature!) I couldn't help but thinking i liked how my 1st roll of Portra looked and now I know why. I remember finishing up a roll of 160 and then switching to 400 and forgetting to change the iso. I was told to develop normally and so I did. The pictures didn't have enough contrast for me and now I know why.
Hi, I was wondering how you recover the highlights in Portra 400? Wouldn't the scan make them pure white? I am quite confused how the process works
Does an overexposed film need to be pulled (Portra400 at ISO 200 -> Pull 1 stop) in development to get the iconic Portra - Look?
Maybe a stupid question to ask but I just brought a canon af35m and the ISO tab wasn't on so couldn't change it so the guy I brought it off is sending me another but I have already put film in it and taken a shot could I rewind the film and load it into the new one without exposing or damaging the film ??
so did you not change the shutter speed? you only changed the iso? and does that make any difference to just changing the exposure compensation dial to +1/-1 etc?
I have to ask, I love the way your videos look. So film with a.... this calming relaxing vibe. Do you use filmconvert or...?
What camera/flash set up were you using for these images?
Hey George, I’ve been trying to get more into film, but I’m having a really hard time with this concept. I’ve tried to do more research, but I think it’s confusing me more. I was hoping you or anyone else who sees this comment could clarify some things for me. If I rate my Portra 400 at 200 to overexpose one stop, do I meter using 400 or 200? Also, at what speed should I ask the lab to develop my roll at afterwards? Thanks in advance.
Hi! I'm using Minolta XG-M here, do you know why aperture priority mode doesn't work (light meter isn't working or even beeping) if I set the ISO/ASA not at the box speed?
Did you meter the skin 0EV on portraits or did you adjust it +1EV ( as Zone VI)?
How did you color grade this video? Great job by the way George!
Thanks for the video, as always. What is that dope flash setup you're using?
P.S. My lady is moving to London for school and she's a big fan of your work and all these great videos. If there's any way she could get in touch with you and learn about film photo around England it would be so great. Thanks much!
Great video. I always overexpose Portra 400 by one stop. It gives more pleasing colors, I think. I shoot BW at book speed most of the time
does the grain looks will be chnaged with lower and higher iso?
coz i would imagine the grain on a 400 film shoot on iso 200 will look smoother than what it was supposed to be at 400
hello:) i'd just line to know what's you're flash model?:)
thank's for answer
What is the camera used in the process of taking exposures in this video?
Hey! Were you using the iPhone to meter the scene? If yes, which app?
Do you have to actually process the film any differently? For example if you shoot Portra 400 at ISO 200 and overexpose it - in terms of development do you just treat it as if it was ISO 400? I use thedarkroom.com and I know you can use a marker to write "+1" to push or pull your film, but have never tried it before.
George nice vids, I'm digging them, also the music is the BOMB!!! What are the name of the cuts you're using in the vids?
Thanks for another great vid - what iphone app do you use for metering?
Love that 1600 overexposed look I'm a big fan of the extreme vintage look
under*
Great video. What app were you using for exposure?
Hey random question to anyone! Are you able to just push or pull film whenever you want? I thought once you either push or pull you have to stick with that
What camera do u use
Hi, would it be possible to do a video on pushing colour negative film? Would it be possible to do without muddy/horrible casts?
I have a question, say if i'm using a portra 400 and i expose it to 200, how should I set my handheld meter? should I put the ISO to 400 or 200 like my camera?
First of all, just wanna say thank u for the awesome content. I bought a contax g2 after watching ur video hahaha. I actually have a qn for the videographer/video editor. I am avideographer myself and have been wondering how to achieve ur video color. Do u use specific LUT/plug in to achieve a very filmic look on the video?
Do you do any workshops for people (partially) migrating from digital to film? Your knowledge, and more important, your understanding of film belies your age, people at your level are usually a lot older than you. I think you'd make any course interesting, especially if you had Dan I think his name is. The two of you together compliment each other's style.
Hello. I am a amateur photographer who just start learning film camera. I was so impressed that you can make film photos into digital pictures in a clear image. I am wondering what kinda of scanner you use? I will be so appreciated if you can answer my question. :)
Awesome. Could you try this with B&W please?
The way you caused the different exposures was simply increasing the ASA on you light metre, so it's readjusted its exposure parameters, whilst you actually used a 400 one in your camera?
Can i get just ask where that necklace is from? i really dig it and i've been looking for something similar :D
what is the APP light meter use?
Hey man, thank you for making this vid brother! this really helped me a lot. i’m really confused with the terms of exposing and pushing/pulling.
I have a question, when you processed the film did you processed it at box speed or you compensated it? (for example: PORTRA 400 shot at 200, and processed at 200 OR 400?) the same question as to the underexposing.
Are you taking meter with your iPhone? With what app if I may know. Thanks.
i doubt he did, considering his camera.. doubt he would cheap out on an App.
What's the light meter app you were using?
lux
Was that a lumu? How do you like it? Have you tried lumu power?
Interesting experiment. I also prefer the 200 with the bed portrait, althought the underexposed image do have an interesting atmosphere.
How did you change the exposure? Especially with the flash images?
There results surprise me, since there is no real effect.
That could be explained if you had changed the shutter speed to change the exposure.
But if you change the aperture, then this is a quite interesting outcome.
Jw, do you develop this at box speed after?
Hi would I be able to just use the normal ISO of the film 400, and just over expose by using the exposure compensation in Aperture Mode ?
yup!
How did you get 1600 and 800 iso if your shooting on a 400 iso film?
What flash were you using on your 7?
Wow. I've only just begun learning about shooting and exposing on actual film (mostly shooting 400) ... but I'm going to try ISO200 without flash and 800ISO with flash.
does anyone know what app he uses on his iphone before taking picts with films?
So is this what the exposure compensation knobs adjust on cameras?
ok but what is he doing on his phone before he takes a picture? im pretty sure its a light meter app and if is i would like to know which one he uses
Which camera is that?
My favorite out of all the pictures was actually the 1600 of her on the bed. I think the underexposed green tones really worked well with it according to my stylistic preferences. However the flash photos still look best at box speed, and I think this is because lifted shadows only work when detail is softer and stays in the midtones.
Why do you pull up your phone? Is it to check setting and such?
Do you scan your film and edit them at all?
Did you guys get the film developed at the speed it says? Like 400 did you get it developed at 400 even if you shot it at 200 for instance? Sorry I was a bit confused on that. Love the video.
Is overexpose means you set the camera at 200 ISO while you are using 400 ISO film?
what does the @ 200, 800 and so on refer to?
May you please do a similar video for over exposing black and white film? I feel like bloggers are all over the place on this topic and it would be helpful to see some simple visual comparisons.
That was an app for picture information? How is it called?
whats that app you are using?
there is just something underexposed pictures that appeals to me// once again coOoOol video
Excellent video. Just a minor point, but the first scene on the bed was very high-key, so the camera would tend to under expose this anyway, much like a snowy scene. So over-exposing is going to give you a more natural look. For a true test of whether the pictures look better under or over exposed with that particular film it might have been better to choose a scene with a more even distribution of tones? Good test though. You’ve inspired me to replicate it myself.
What light meter app are you having?
Box speed is the best I think. I think washed out blacks are trendy right now so a lot of people would perhaps love the 1 stop underexposed look. I like to go box speed, or a very slight overexposure (like 2/3 of a stop)
What app are you using on your phone?
