Capturing photos with film vs digital cameras is a completely jarring experience! You can definitely see my lack of confidence as a snagged those first photos. I'm happy to say that the results turned out waaayyy better than I was expecting and I'm excited to shoot more film photos!

I usually shoot all-manual digital (even with some MF adapted lenses). It wasn't really that much of a struggle to switch to analog from a shooting perspective. The only thing that still gets me quite often is that I forget to crank the film advance (I shoot with a mechanical Yashica FX-7). In terms of pictures, I actually feel that I have to adjust the levels of every picture in some way when using digital RAWs. However, I don't have to do anything for my analog ones. There's just something about the films that they made "right". If I think about it, it also makes sense. While there was some (heavy) retouching in some professional settings, typically the result had to be close to perfect right away back then.

I dig the way you guys are putting the actual image from the film as you take the shots. well done.

awesome vid guys, but I just have to say, the AE-1 has a light meter built in. and its super reliable! just was kinda funny watching you guys figure out the settings with an app thats all hahah

As an old timer who shot film for 35 years, this was fun to watch! My first experience with photography was in 4th grade. We made a pinhole camera out of an oatmeal box. I remember my wonder at watching my image appear in the developer.

Awesome video man! Really enjoyed it! I have my dads old Canon AE-1. He had a roll in the camera. I finished it on a trip to Jackson hole. Which was my first time using a film camera. Haven’t had the guts yet to get them developed or scanned. Loved the video! As I always do. Excited for the next one.

Nice to see a young person experiencing to pleasures and frustration of film and the cameras. Puzzled by use of light meter app when the camera has a very good one. Maybe camera meter doesn’t work?

AWESOME VID. DID THE PHOTOS COME OUT LIKE THIS OR DID YOU TWEAK WORK THEM AFTER SCANNING. THANKS

@77tubuck 9 ай бұрын

When shooting at slower shutter speeds it helps to take a breath in and push the shutter button slowly. You did the right thing by trying at 1/30 of a second. Worst thing that can happen is the photo will be blurry. The only way to learn photography is to try different things.

@charleshamilton635 2 жыл бұрын

Great video gentlemen! The photos really did turn out well. Curious though, was the in-camera meter on your AE-1 inoperable, or were you just more comfortable with the metering app? You mentioned that you were looking forward to shooting more film. Do you think you will buy your own film camera after this? If so, try some Kodak Gold 200 for a nice retro look, and then maybe some Kodak Ektachorme 100, but be prepared to be humbled a bit with that. Looking forward to more film excursions.

I was just more comfortable using the light meter app. I picked up some Kodak Gold 200 recently, looking forward to trying it!

In the app, I believe you have to set ISO to 400 to get an accurate reading. Good shots though!

Appreciate it! I was reading to set it to 200 instead of 400 ISO in the app because Portra is better at keeping highlights

I'm quite new to film also ,but I've heard numerous times that for hand held photos Try to stay at 1/60 or faster. Any slower you're risking catching hand shake blur

@vermontmike9800 Жыл бұрын

Stay in line with your focal length. Example, if using a 28mm lens, you can use as slow as 1/30 second. For a 50mm lens, use at least 1/60 second.
