@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss Joking aside, it is odd how different cameras impact on the way you shoot, how you shoot and the resulting images. Choosing a camera for a shoot is just as important as the glass you choose and the film you stick in it. Whilst the film stock and the glass will have the biggest impact on the final image, for me at least, the camera I choose to use has the biggest impact in terms of how I shoot. I am fortunate to have a large selection of systems to choose from! Everything from 110 to 4x5. 😏

I’ve been following your channel for a while and I wanted to say that I’m loving the humour, energy and sharing your putting in your blogs. My wife was watching with me and says : I don’t understand what is the interest in his photography (she doesn’t speak English), when I explained that you took an opportunity regarding the weather you were dealing with to go out and shoot to experiment a subject,film stock and just have a day out and a walk witch would mean printing and develop afterwards then she got the gift. I often tell her I’m not feeling like going for a shoot because I’m not inspired, picking a subject before leaving the house actually makes sense and I will try it out ! Take care

Love the pace of this video. Your deliberate approach really yielded some fantastic images. Perhaps it’s muscle memory but the Nikon F5 has a second shutter release that allows you to shoot in portrait mode without lifting/rotating your arms over the side of your head. Thanks for sharing your thought process boss!

@Ryan-lc4bl 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Roger, great video as always ! Do you find yourself wanting a more automatic camera, even though you like to print in the darkroom ? I've been thinking about this for a while, it might seem strange, but I miss a bit of automation when I shoot with my Pentax Spotmatic, even though it would be my dream to build my own darkroom one day, sometimes autofocus and autoexposure can be a handy tool to make the creative decisions, maybe because I'm struggling with manual focusing.

@ShootFilmLikeaBoss 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Ryan. I like shooting the Nikon f90x and F5 for its accurate auto shooting. Don't have to think in aperture priority. Just choose your aperture and off you go. Usually when I'm shooting street objects. But. Sometimes if the sky is involved I have to lock my exposure where I'm happy. Usually my metering is set to matrix

@Ryan-lc4bl 3 жыл бұрын

@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss Great cameras, for a lot of situations. Having these features can make for better composition, since you don't need to concentrate on the exposure. Enjoy your cameras !

@iainmc9859 3 жыл бұрын

Maybe its a British thing but the first thing I look at when planning a shoot is what's the weather going to be, not what camera or film or what to shoot. Weather first, always. I should shoot more close ups. I get pulled into taking vistas, somehow I feel vistas have more 'value' (which is rubbish) and is a mindset I have to shift but as I'm counting the pennies to buy film at the moment I feel I need to make every shot count. I should also shoot more b&w but I associate b&w with industrial, which to be honest their ain't much of where I live. Preconceptions and bad habits!

@sputumtube Жыл бұрын

Love your videos, 'inspiration for normal folks' I call them. Have you ever considered doing a video for photographers with a disability? Photographing while using a walking stick? Walking frame? Wheelchair even? I'm sure there must be others who'd very much appreciate it.

I'm not sure I'd be able to make such a video. But I do know a friend who is a photographer and wheelchair bound and she is an inspiration.

@johnros1956 Жыл бұрын

I walk with a crutch and sometimes find it useful to just adjust the height of it if I need a slower shutter speed so I can rest my arm in it and use it as a monopod. Sometimes useful to get that extra stability.

I only have a Sigma 28-135 and a Nikon 50mm for it. I mostly just use the 50. Without filters. And usually I shoot it in aperture priority on matrix. Does a sterling job.

@TristanColgate Жыл бұрын

Do you generally just take one lens (seems like that's a good way to stop myself/yourself faffing about with kit instead of concentration on finding things with what you have at hand).

@ShootFilmLikeaBoss Жыл бұрын

More often than not yes. Less gear in my pocket and just that lens to think about. Sometimes I would kick myself if I wanted say a wider angle and I only got a 50mm! Sometimes I take a 28 and a 50 and wear a bum bag around my waist. But mostly just one lens.

When you push a 100 film to 400, do you still develop it as a 100?

@ShootFilmLikeaBoss 3 жыл бұрын

No. You have to over develop the film. I was in effect under exposing my film. So I needed to over develop or the negs would have been 2 stops under exposed and pretty flat. Normal time was 10 mins. I went for 20.
