hot take ironing your clothes is overrated

My hot take: the vast majority of those hot takes are a bunch of hot air. Do what you want, the way you want, for whatever reason you want. If someone’s got an issue with that, screw ‘em. They’re far too wrapped up making judgements on everyone else’s work instead of focusing on their own work. You do you.

my shirt is off, your turn Jason.

Lomography did WONDERS for film photography- props to them. I remember using lots of their cameras in my late teens/early 20s. I wasn’t dropping cash on SLRs at that stage.

My favorite nihilistic photographer is back!

Temu Ryan Gosling back in the spicy saddle

That shirt be crinkled

I miss the flaming Mountain Dew chugs!

I was told there would be hotcakes 🥞

I am flying all the slide film off the shelves

All I'm hearing around 6:42 is "don't take chances, don't try to find a new camera that fits your workflow, or a new film stock that you may like the look and feel of... be stagnant, don't experiment, stick by every choice you ever make even if you wind up regretting it at some point." Don't make it your sole focus, but yes, gear and film CAN make a difference sometimes... it won't give you better photos, but it can give you a new set of parameters to work with. When I'm shooting with my Nikon F5 vs my Mamiya RB67 for instance, the vast differences in those cameras make me heavily consider different things... and the stock I'm shooting with, too. The differences in sensitivity, color science, and other things make me try to consider what would look the best or the most interesting to photograph. The bottom line is it's possible to appreciate the difference gear can make.

I was about to rewatch your Nikon F2 video for the nth time.

What if we kissed under an ironing board?

Captain here : The "différent" issue you pointed out is related to the fact people sending you these messages are using French as their smartphones' default language. Thus, the autocorrect will change up "different" to "différent", simply because it considers "different" to be a mistake and "différent" to be the right spelling in French. Over.

Love the Aerochrome t-shirt

6x6 is the best format, maybe that weird 35mm square format on diana mini too, square format is amazing, it feels like shooting album covers and it disposes most of the "composition rules" that ended up being a factory of average stock photos of an apple in a white background slightly dislocated to the side of the composition, when the frame is square you're able to do all kinds of bullshit without having to hear the mediocre photographer uncle inside your head talking about the magic golden ratio and rule of thirds

the "c41 doesnt have a look" take is just flat out wrong though. while it's true the "color negative film look" people want is the result of portra scanned on a Noritsu or whatever, no film, c41 or otherwise, replicates reality on the film. anyone can demonstrate this by shooting a color chart on a slide film and just comparing the slide illuminated by a well corrected white LED versus the chart.

Really liked all the love that Portra 160 got here, truly the goat

In long time this was a very entertaining video that I have watched on YT! Thanks man and keep going! 💪❤️

I usually shoot black and white with large format. I like it, plus it has the tremendous advantage that once I tell curious people, they lose interest and go away. There's a reason I spent 40 years in IT.

Lomography IS the reason I got interested in photography long-term and why I still shoot film. Heck, the LC-A+ is now my EDC camera, it's just the right combination of fun and technical proficiency

Jason's plain black background $50 Jason's microphone. $250 Jason's t shirt priceless

When will PT2 come?

I don't iron my clothes either but jesus christ

Hot take #1: I like the warm tones of Kodak Gold as much as anyone, but cooler tones are seriously underrated and underrepresented Hot take #2: Unless you are on the clock, photograph what you like and how you like. Nostalgia is personal and powerful. If gas stations, diners, and derelict buildings remind you of the family vacation to Disneyland when you took a side trip through Death Valley and all your crayons melted into a single mass when you stopped for lunch, then absolutely take pictures of them Hot take #3: Unasked for criticism is rarely well-intentioned, and is almost never helpful. I should probably clarify this quite a bit. We'll see Hot take #4: People will grow as photographers despite gatekeeping, not because of it Hot take #5: On a basis of quality and utility per dollar, your best camera happens to be the one in the phone that you already own. Everything else is diminishing returns Hot take #6: Medium format is best because finishing a roll of 36 is hard

My hot take is that Canon EF is the only lens mount you need in film photography.

A 4th of July Miracle!

Why shouldn't C41 be developed at home? Answers, man, answers!

Whoever said that about Fomapan 100 is correct.

heyo what kinda mic is that

I only realized 2 days ago that you're having the next Expo at the Leica Store in Nuremberg. I'll miss you by a few days due to vacation, but have a lovely time in Germany and I'm looking forward to seeing the photos.

Does he think owning an iron is a hot take?

my hot take is that you should bring back 16:9 videos

4:3 aspect ratio breaks my brain, Jason.

I myself want to do more of the "master your camera and stop experimenting... Become a master with one" thing.... But, new toy syndrome does produce good stuff. Like, Erney Bailey, Kurt Cobains guitar tech said he would write like five new songs each time he got a new guitar that he was giddy about. Its the same with cameras, even if the 'ol nikon is mastered, sometimes a new plastic-fantastic makes me all playful, and I get a bunch of good new shots. Diferent strokes or something, I guess.

E6 is costly. C41 for the win, though also expensive....damn, guess we're screwed either way.

I totally agree with the hot take about expensive equipment. I’ve never spent more than $275 on a single camera or lens. I always try to get my equipment as cheap as I can.

Always here for Jason rhyming “warm” with “farm”

Lomography taught me that chasing photographic reality is as meaningful as explaining the color red to a dog.

This video made me realize Jason and Joe List are brothers separated at birth.

"Make work that is difficult." Preach.

That shirt has more wrinkles than the Grand Canyon has ridges.

I think we just all have to be honest with ourselves. I say all the time that the main reason I take pictures is to share them online and get likes. I have no other talents and live a very boring life. So this is how I get some minor praise from friends and strangers. I also just love the mechanical design of film cameras.

came for baxtar, stayed for flamin hot mtn dew man.

Thanks for The takes

I find that if my film is iso 800 or higher the airport scanner is more likely to mess with it. Even on black and white.

Jason, you should post more of threads with the #PhotographersOfThreads tag

When are shooting the roll of aerochrome that Peter McKinnon sent you?

I am just a hobby photographer. My wife and I ordered film from Kodak... fifty roll box. We just shot a lot and the boxes of prints are testament to the uselessness of my time behind the lens. I still shoot film, I shoot digital.... and have fun with both. If you like photography, just shoot what you want, shoot what you like, nobody really cares.

Fujifilm dijital camera should come with the toggle thing from film camera..

Happy 4th of July

This was real content ... As always, enjoyed the video.

This video is made more authentic by the designer wrinkled tee. Keep up the great fits my goat

Agreed! If you take a photo of a beautiful woman with makeup on... is the image altered? If that doesn't' make sense, it's the 4th of July and I've already had a few brews lol HAPPY 4TH!

i mean, when expired film is miles cheaper than fresh film (that is tested and bulk rolled with examples from that bulk) its way better for economy

world's most ruffled man reads DMs and witholds vile meme

This is good content! 👍🏻

The aspect ratio of this video, aesthetic

Totally agree about Portra 160 is way under utilized. I will add a saying around RIT we use to use "If you can't make it good, make big".

what happened to your shirt?

After 15yrs with a Nikon F3, I’m still “testing my camera” 😂

thats my hot take - im f-ing up some random color/bw rolls of 35mm film with my LOMO LC-A or 90's point n'shoot every other couple of months and im kinda happy not to get into all portra this and leica that convo lol

Whoever said C41 shouldn’t be developed at home should send me all of their money so I can start sending my negatives to the lab again

Monotone monochrome man is a combination made in heaven to me 🥰

Actually you already have to show your negatives when entering many contests, if you make it to the short list.

$20+ for Portra here in NY.. small shops though.

Hot take: Waffles are better than pancakes

Nobody beats the biz.

I don't know if I fully agree with the 6:45 take. I think you should have fun with different cameras and film stocks until you find something that you genuinely enjoy and it really backs up your own personal creative process. If you just stick to one thing - you lose out on lessons and techniques that could stem from new experiences.

If slide film isn't flying off the self, it's only because there isn't any Provia and Velvia on the shelves to begin with!

Eastcoastemulsion is right

Hot take: This video made me realize there’s reason to avoid the rest of the film community. Too many negative people worrying about what other people are doing. Just do what you want…and don’t let the opinions of others dictate your art or your direction.

I actually agree with your Kodachrome take. We'd probably want Kodachrome 64, and people are too scared now to shoot below 400 half the time. And I have to imagine it's about as or more unforgiving than E100. I would love it, but getting enough people to shoot it to justify bringing back that whole process ... we'd be better off hoping they could get a similar color profile in E6.

One of my relatives was shocked when I said film cost $17 to get developed and scanned. She said it cost $17 back in her day for developing and prints. I was surprised, i get its two different situations but damn

Yes, you are my good boy. And you know that

Hot cake: anyone sponsored by square space is overrated

Hottest take: Your film photos should suck in digital not because film is better and etherial, but because you're a millenial normie photographer. There's the same proportion of bad and mid photographers in both digital and film, but somehow all film photographers think that they cheated the universe and entered the untouchable category. That's so funny

I bailed on shooting the Fourth Fireworks here on some Fuji Superia 400. I should have gone. I decided just to shoot my own fireworks. Funny stuff, dawg. Abandoned buildings are overrated. Heh.

2:54 maybe we should’ve drew the line 10 years ago… Are you scanning your film negative or are you using an enlarger and printing your negative. Is any digital manipulation cheating? Are you really being true to analog if you scan your negative then manipulated in Photoshop and Lightroom?

color negative is meant to be manipulated

Hot take. People care way too much about the camera and lens rather than the result. This leads people to spend way too much of their attention on the gear (and expecting the gear to make their photos better) rather than focusing the creative aspects of photography. Bonus hot take- half the film photography IG accounts only post photos that are cliche (front or rear of an old car, half naked girl with window lighting, or photos of cameras). Originality is important in any art form, folks are just regurgitating images other people have created.

Welp some of those sure were heated 😆

6x6 is the best one.

Thanks for Lomography 800 I ditched Portra 800.... :D bc is way cheap in Tokyo 6:45 I agree stick to one camera one format one film stock and stop trying new cameras and film stocks....period but I wanna try Fuji 400....f

4:3 is a hot take

You didn't read mine which was potentially the hottest take: Peter McKinnon is the Father of Film.

nice

I got in a rhythm with the skip ahead 10 seconds button and it was perfectly aligned with each hot take so I didn't have to watch all 11 minutes. It's the small things in life.

did your neighbors make up in the end?

but the photo still represents that the thing you photographed actually happened.

If there's one thing I've learned shooting film for nearly 30 years now is to NEVER take advice from people younger than I've been shooting film!

I'm trying to take film photos that look digital without alterations. We are not the same.

as someone who watches more youtube than actually takes pictures with a camera, I really enjoyed this video :) consider me a poser

Sorry for the accents, French auto correct you know… ;) glad you found that underground fact usable ;) (won’t fix my kéyboard though)

uhm… cinestill bwxx is criminally underrated!

The guy who said medium format is overrated can't afford a medium format camera 💀

Must be a french auto-correct for Different. It means exactly the same.

I'm sorry Jason

Hot take: You look like a cross of Doug Funnie and Ryan Gosling.

Lomo made huge discount on their medium format films "to encourage people to shoot MF", and for that they have my etenral respect. Also Jason, you know about the turquoise to aerochrome truck, right? Yeah it looks like shit most of the time, but maybe?..
