Tip for younger people that's not so obvious these days. If you're catching a flight with your film cameras do not let any film new or used go through the security x-ray machine. The x-rays expose the film and will ruin your photos or any new film you are carrying. Let security know about your film, and do not pack it in your stow away baggage either as those bags get x-rayed too. It's also best to not have any film in the camera as security may insist the camera needs to be x-rayed, so only load film after your flight, and use it all up before coming back. Airports used to have lots of warnings to remind people, but these days not many do.

Step 1: Get money cause film ain't cheap

A tip for your followers with no film shooting experience. Get a point and shoot with a fixed lens 35mm or 50mm. Less to think about and go wrong with camera. 👍

2:33 “and it like really zooms :))” **reveals an absolute BARREL extending from the camera** lol loved that

im looking for a hobby and i decided that maybe photography might something really cool, im getting a camera for Christmas and im going to try it out

I’d say go for disposable for people that just want try Go for point and shoots for those that just want to do exactly that, which is to point and shoot. It’s a step up form disposables And go for the SLRs and rangefinders, if you really want to learn photography. Or if you just wanna get a bit more serious, since point and shoots have very little level of control.

Omg that 3d camera is so cool. I don't think there's something like that in my country

I like how everyone is getting back to the 2000s and lower Aesthetic

The point and beauty of instant film cameras is the spontaneous feel of photography! Using a instant film printer defeats the point, it’s convenient, but it’ll never beat that feeling of being able to take instant photos and sharing them with people right then and there!☺️

So happy to see young people shooting film.

Thanks for this! I've been using disposables but you've just given me the push that I was looking for to switch to point and shoot :)

Great video ! i remembered using a disposable before starting out and advancing to slrs and rangefinders ! it was such a great experience

Didn't know I needed this video, but I'm glad I found it

Your tutorials are helpful and really insightful, Natalie. I got to know the different ranges of camera and the appropriate ones for a beginner.💜 I got the Yashica MF-2 Super and it's like so easy to use.

this showed up in my recommendations and I am not disappointed! - honeypot films

Pro tip: get a film scanner and get develop only service at your local shop. I pay $3 per roll and just run the negatives through the film scanner afterwards. You can scan it using your digital camera too for higher quality but it's much more work.

NEEDED AND LOVE THIS

i love this & your editing!! so so fun

You can actually reuse disposables a few more times. The only downside is the camera itself is attached tighter, and harder to take apart it you wanna put the new film inside

Yesssss the instax printers are amazing!!! It also lets you mess around on photo editing apps and print off that too

oml I love your editing! Also, such an informational and useful video!

I love your voice and this video was really helpful! Thank you~ ♡

This video so smooth ,i like it

This very well explained and helpful thank you

exactly what i was looking for! thank you!!

This was Sooo helpful !!!!

I just got into photography and borrowed my sister's camera. I am now able to get my own camera (under 100 dollars) which is why I love this video. Not only have you made me more inspired to photograph more but also be able to get beginner cameras that make me able to purchase and that arn't thousands of dollars.

Beautiful intro to this video. Visually as well as the song you chose!

For beginners I recommend avoiding fixed focus cameras and making sure there’s autofocus. For cheaper film Kodak Colorplus 200 or Kodak Gold 200 seem like better options than Kodak Ultramax 400 or Fujifilm 200 (forget the exact name of that one). Ofc it’s subjective though :)

this is super helpful!! great video!

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH I NEEDED THIS

I was an Army photojournalist back in the late 80s. I use primarily 35 mm SLRs because I have more control of the shot. If I. Want more or less depth of field or not and composition. Not to mention the different lenses to get the best photo. Our lieutenant used one of the point and shoot cameras like your Minolta, only his lens didn’t zoom out as much. But he got some really good photos from it. When my son went on a field trip with his 6th grade class to the Grand Canyon. I got him a disposable camera to use. And he took some goo pictures with it. They’re good for snapshots and vacations photos. By the way. You have a really good SLR. I would say one of the best. Most pictures done at f8 and above you have good depth of field and you can prefocus based on the distance scale on the lens it’s what I did most of the time to get quick action shots. I also have an auto focus. But it takes too long to focus. And I miss the shot. So half the time I shoot it on manual mode except at night.

I loved this video, thank you for making it :)

This was very helpful too me, thank you so much!!!

I started to shoot film camera these days:) I love the mood of film camer📷📸❤️

YOU ARE A LIVESAVER! I want a camera disposable and a kind of digital one but I am not too tech savvy. Great job on explaining how u work them and what they use, etc.‼️💅❤❤❤

Amazing video! Thank you

This was actually soooooo informative! Thank you so much!

Awesome! Keep it up! Welcome to the film based camera!

Ahh thank you so much for this video it helped alot! And your so pretty!!❤

Ever since I’ve seen ppl started using cameras from like 2000s or 90s I’ve been really into photography bc I love the 90s look of the film makes it feel like we’re in the 90s

Awesome information 👌🏼

This gave me a nice overview ! although I would love to see tips on how to get the most out of your point and shoot :)

I thank you for doing such a wonderful video! I am waiting for a camera to come by mail. It's a Kodak I60 point and shoot. I hope it works out. I love your voice, you are so soft spoken and pretty too. Thanks again!

I love this thanks

Pretty informative video 👌🏾👌🏾

I started with a manual camera (ae1) and I wasted at least 4 rolls trying to learn it. Pro tip, You need money to shoot film haha.

Taking photos on a pre war camera is fun. I used 120 film in a 1930s Ziess Ikon simplex 115/2. It was made between 1935 and 1937.

I fell in love with film photography 😍 manual is the way to go. I shoot with Canon SLR T5 but I'm looking for a film camera and it's hard to find a good one.

I want to start a hobby and I think photography is a good one 🥰

super helpful vid thanks

Great video! I’ve wanted something just like this!

I appreciate my algorithm for this channel

Nice fm! I have one myself, black version also. Absolutely love that camera

you should get the sx-70 camera that's flat and opens up! you have to manually focus it, but i think you'll fall in love!

omg you went to icp i did too! wow, what a small world. i just want to get back into photography, especially film. thank you for this video

I really really really want to give this a shot...i am so confused tho but this helped,thank you!

Hey sis, great video! Do you mind explaining how you get the photos out of the film? X

I love point and shoots, I have a Minolta freedom zoom 150, and a Canon sure shot zoom-s. Both awesome cameras I use regularly. instants are nice for certain occasions, I have an old Polaroid and a Instax that I jsut use in situations where I wanna see it right then and there. I have a manual and it’s definitely an interesting process, although I don’t use it very much. Disposables are ok, I’ve used two of them and all I have to say is point and shoots are better. I usually find myself carrying around a point and shoot, sometimes an instant, and barley a manual. Although I love my manual i just don’t use it as much lol, If I had to choose one it would be point and shoot, there just awesome.

Big hug from Portugal Ilha da Madeira 🙂🙂

I think everyone needs a film camera. Great video. Just subbed! I make film videos too!

Idk if you’re nearby, but i get my films developed on 19 minute photo lab in Artesia. It’s only $7 per film (if only on the CD) and takes 3 hours depending how busy they are.

I’ve always wanted to know, how do we get the pictures from the brown-looking film?

my favorite film shooting is on Medium format and then using an enlarger to print the film... no scanning that turns it into a digital photo. Lighting is very important depending on what look you are going for. For instance I would use digital for sports photography. Also digital for most weddings. There is a photographer in San Francisco who does tintype photos using a modern camera. The flash is extremely bright so the exposure isn't long. It has a very narrow depth of field. He scans the photo and prints it with a photo ink jet and archival inks. I would love to do something like that... but you need to be in a large market... maybe NY or San Francisco with millions of people to get enough business. The people who use your film photography service have to know and respect the craft of doing it old school. The cool thing about photography is how many different styles and techniques there are. Besides being in IT I've been a wedding photographer for over 15 years.... I also like aerial photography and video from my drone.

can you recommend any that allow you to video record? j wanna invest in a point and shoot but also a super 8 which are expensive 🥺

i wanna start doing photography

damn i think i’m going to buy an instax

Get an Epson film scanner, a film developing tub, and the chemicals required to develop film. Initial cost is a few hundred, but the chemicals can be re-used for ages and if you shoot a lot of film it'll save you money in the long run

Those are the types of shooting I’ve done too. I used to carry those disposable cameras around with me all the time. Back in the 90’s, I’d make sure to always have one in my coat pocket. When I was a little kid, all the grownups had the Polaroid instant cameras. So I got to mess with those too. The only point n’ shoot types I’ve used are digital. I have a Canon PowerShot from the early 2000’s. Has plenty of features and 8mp. We still use that one.

I like this girl she’s simple.

thank you so much for this!! are there any other point and shoots that you would recommend? :)

QUESTION: on the darkroom site, they ask how many sets i want to receive. I want to put zero but it wont let me. do you have any answers/solutions? Thanks

hey, i want to start film photography and i was wondering if an olympus am-100 would be a good beginner camera?

thANK YOU OMGG

do you have any good flash recommendations for a manual film camera

i got olympus mju, it's exactly what i wanted. i wanted to try polaroid but after considering i decided to go for mju type of camera because i want to take pictures with film first before i consider anything. i just want to shoot what i see and live in the moment. i might consider other types of camera after i get more serious. i want to try instax printer after mju maybe not sure but i go to this good store that prints pictures i like exactly the way i want. i also use my phone to take pictures but it takes so long to get them edited, i think i like what tools i have rnn, having photography in my life was one of best decisions i ever made

That Nikon camera is superb.

Love this video, I'm thinking about doing photography for a hobbie x

I use old SLR and that thing has a recoil. I like to scare people with it (by letting them take a picture), but I can't do it too often.

Do you recommend the Kodak m35 or m38 reusable camera for beginners??

I have a question, for the reto camera how do they give you the photos? Like since they are slightly moving is it in a cd, sd card...?

Subscribed.

1:11 love this momment

What’s your take on the B&G Helioflex 3000T camera?

How do you know when a point and shoot camera is out of film? Does the film advanced just keep scrolling with no friction, just like a disposable? I am thinking of getting an Ilford point and shoot but wanting to learn before

This summer I used a disposable for my first time as forgot to use the flash 😐

Cool video

For your polaroid, you are using the wrong film, the SX-70 film is for the SX-70 camera, so that's probably why it ain't working out, the Polaroid OneStep typically uses I-Type or 600 film, and the Polaroid 600 or the closeups use 600 film

disposable cameras can be reused! or you can usually send the disposable cameras back to the manufacturer and they recycle them for you :)

Lovely ❤❤❤❤

Great video! I have a question. What type of film do you use for the point & shot? ISO 200 or 400? I have the same camera. Greetings from Mexico!

hey which film camera that is affordable do you think I can buy for instagram pics? Also how do you get them on to you laptop

Contax t2 really worth nice camera recommended

how are u not famous I love ur videos

You can use Polaroid 600 film also.

Walmart develops film and also send your negatives on a cd.

Hey I want to start shooting film photography, I know how to shoot manual on dslr. Would it be fine to start with a manual film? Camera?

Personally, I don't really recommend getting the scanner one because shots on phone are really different than what will the camera give, if you're going into vintage look, a regular instax camera would be better. (just my opinion)

I went to Walmart and saw a Polaroid snap on clearance for under $20 and a bunch of the film 10 packs for $2 so I grabbed em and thought hmmm that seems fun. Then never used it lol found it recently and thought... "Hmmm I've been wanting a new hobby... Film photography sounds fun I kinda miss disposable cameras and stuff" 🤔 and I started using that snap and I looooove it so here I am now wanting more types of camera and film.

Hey I got a question. When you change the film roles, do you have to do it in the dark? And where do you put them until they can be developed? Bc as far as I know they need to stay away from light, bc this will destroy the picture/ film. Sorry I’m really new to this topic and still a little confused :) Thanks ✨
