In the UK we call this "how to shoot in anything other than the 12 seconds of sunshine each year"

As far as I'm concerned, HP5 is a 1600 iso film with a typo on the box, and the world is now divided into two groups of people, those who saw Dune properly in the cinema, and those who waited for it to be streamed, and will regret it for the rest of their miserable lives.

Besides the entertainment and photos: the audio quality of your voice/mic/post-prod. is just amazing

You have redeemed HP5 in my eyes .... I might think about looking in its direction again

I'm okay with being called a pimp when it's by you Jason 🙂

I've been rescanning a bunch of negatives that have survived since the early 1970s (yes, I am unconscionably old). I came across a page of Ektachrome 100 pushed to 1600. I remember taking the photos, and that the film was pushed to 1600, but I have no memory of how they were processed. You might want to try it.

Being that I shoot mostly indoor stuff of my family, pushed HP5 is my jam. That said, it pushes even better in 120. I tend to like 35mm HP5 +1, and 120 HP5 +2 or 3.

HP5 pushed 1 stop is what I use. Love the extra contrast, love the extra grain in B&W, love the versatility of being able to shoot in nearly any situation.

Ilford HP5 literally is the only thing that turns me on anymore

Thanks man. I stepped into a camera shop today for the first time in a long time, they had rolls of this sitting by the till and it caught my eye; as did this video appearing from nowhere in my feed 6 hours later... I'd forgotten how free the experience is - digital always feels to me like I need a subject and for that reason I don't shoot a lot these days. Film is a canvas in of itself. Nice images. Thanks.

That chrome slot canyon shot at 9:18 is beautiful.

Trev is absolutely correct, there is only one Sierra Nevada Mountains. Learned that in my first geology class in 1978.

Dune was amazing! The pictures, music and the story had a great depth and quality. And HP5 pushed two stops too, with a bit more grain

Loved dune. Thought the slow pace was essential for world building in the first film of the trilogy. Visuals and score kept me engaged throughout. Couldn't be more excited for part two!

I thought Dune was great Jason, was definitely the Mamiya 7ii of Sci Fi Movies as of late. Can’t wait for the second one in 2023. That is if the rapidly approaching heat death of the universe doesn’t end us all, or until Fuji finds some way to discontinue that as well.

Those garden chairs at 9:01 - muack - chef's kiss!

Great video. I shoot a lot of HP5 and have tried pushing two stops and it helps with low light situations. Especially here in the UK where we have 12 seconds of sun a year. However, I prefer a one stop push, though.

In the old days we used to push HP5+ not only for grain and contrast mostly because we needed the extra speed at low light situations.

Having shot exclusively HP5 at the start of my film journey (because my school had it for free), I can't help but feel that HP5 has become a little boring at box speed, and have preferred Retro400S, Bergger Pancro, and Fomapan 400 for that speed. However, HP5 at 800, oh boy what an experience, it just have so much character.

Watching this just as I've gotten my first roll of Ilford HP5. Seems like a good idea to push to 1600 for all the cloudy days I get in late fall and winter, but I'm in the midst of a rain storm now and I nearly broke the light meter in one of my cameras after taking it out in hard rain

I'm a simple man. I see a new upload by @grainydays, I get six taquitos and spend two hours on the toilet.

This was my go to film and exposure/dev method for live gigs where no flash was allowed. Tbf even preferred it when flash was allowed.

Hell yea a new GrainyDays video!

Thank you for curing my morning depression and helping my through Friday. Love you

I have not pushed HP5 (yet, I've got rolls in the fridge awaiting my amateur caress), but I have become addicted to OG Acros 100 pushed 2 stops with a deep orange filter. It's deliciously grainy and contrasty, and completely opposes what box speed stood for (grainless and boringly balanced mids). Insofar as Dune, it's also on the list.

Sitting here on a cold night (it’s beautifully warm in Melbourne where I’m from) in Seoul Korea during a business trip, got half way through this episode and thought “why am I sitting here instead of out on the street using that roll of Delta 400 I shoved in my Pentax P30” so out I went, dumping the iPad for some amazing Asia architecture and squiggly signage…only to find once I’d found an epic composition the winder stopped winding correctly, and it was at that moment I went “oh yeah, as much as I love my Pentax P30, it’s not a Leica M6….and that’s why I should’ve stayed in the warm hotel watching the rest of the episode”. 😢 True story.

Just ordered some HP5 the other day....I'm about to rock out with my stock out!

Love it! Thank you for sharing your experience. I have been hooked on pushing HP5 for a while now and really enjoyed seeing your captures

That shot at 5:06 is just lovely.

Another great video. The 12mm shots are amazing. Very nice portrayal of pushed HP5 also.

"how great should the video be?" Jason: "Yes". In truth man , you´re the only one on youtube i dont skip the Squarespace Add. Dune was awesome dude. i love it and looking forward to the second part.

If you really want to have some fun, develop your own HP5 in the Semi-Stand method... DDX @ 1:9 45 minutes 5 agitations during 1st minute... 5 agitations at halfway mark... 1 more agitation just for fun at the end... THE BEST HP5 CAN LOOK. (hundreds of hours of research)

I always push hp5 to 800 or 1600 the develop with DDX. The results are *chef's kiss*.

+3 stops is also great, only that development takes more time. You can even push it more with still development, something worth trying

Considering everything with KODAK marked on it costs 50% more in Europe, I'll stick with HP5+ (6,80€) rather than TMax400 (11,80€).

Definitely adds another tool to my arsenal. I went and shot the Naval Aviation museum in pensacola and having only one 1.2 lens and maximum 800 speed film was severely limiting but I did get some cool-ass photos from it. Now starting my own development I can now push film. Great video as always

bears&cameras event... sounds cool! getting drunk and geeking over film cameras at the same time 😛

Best Film Channel on KZfaq!

You kind of can save underexposed images with stand development though. I've gotten very consistent results without any issues by doing semi stand. I do constant agitation the first minute, then 15 seconds once every 15 minutes, end at all hour. Usually much sharper including sharper grain

Amazing images, thanks for another cool video.

I love this channel ❤

Great stuff. I've only ever pushed Ilford HP5 +1 stop and I loved the results. You may have inspired my next shoot!

I can’t wait to make this stock my whole personality. My family thanks you 🙏

I have no clue what you’re talking about but I keep coming back.

Dune was magical!

Funny this, I did exactly the same thing. Took the film to my usual lab and they laughed! 1600?,,,you mean 2 full stops??? Yes 2 stops, that's what I've written on the label. They laughed, I laughed, siri laughed, but I got the last laugh, the images are wonderful.

Grade 5 it on the print for that super sexy high contrast look!

I shoot a lot of HP5 and Kentmere 400 to 1600… it’s amazing on 35mm, and I LOVE the grain!

I love the look of hp5 at 1600! And if you’re going indoors and outdoors on the same roll it’s great unless you want bokeh of course

I leave here smiling every time

Honestly, I really enjoyed Dune (2021)! Seeing it in IMAX was an absolute delight. Just the slightest bit bummed that we gotta wait 2 years for the sequel but it’s exciting nonetheless! :) Also, the video was cool too, Jason! :D

that first shot is the single greates b&w picture i ever saw

Use Ilford Delta 3200@1600 and embrace it as next best thing since sliced bread.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

That Mr. Bean reference was on point after visiting the getty.

Nice pics, Mr. J. These are great.

Jesus Christ the inside the hotel room shots were insane i actually gasped at work

Hey Jason. Try it at 1600 with a red filter : and a polar (tricky with any non slr, but.) It would so magic with the blue LA skies.

Always an inspiration watching your vids. Thanks for the upload brotha.

HP5 is hit or miss with me, pushed or not. Haven't shot it in a while, might be time for a revisit. Best description of Dune I've seen is that it's Star Wars for people who like Tool.

My Favorite Is To Push The Tri-X 400 Into 1600 … It’s A Brutal Process And I Love It …

I prefer to pull shit out of the toilet. It takes a while to get used to, but man, I swear you'll never go back to pushing again. Such a warm fuzzy feeling.

I’m happy to see the legendary Budweiser camera making another appearance

This is my fifth time watching this video. It's just that incredible. I love it so much. Shout to grainydays for this visual sex of a video.

My face is in a grainydays video for .2 seconds 😱 Momma I made itI! It was great hanging out with you again bro. See you at the next one :)

Pushing HP5+ is my mainstay for low light photography.

There's a reason they put the boxes labelled 800 and 1600 on the canister. Ilford know what it's all about!!! IMHO it's the best high speed film. HP5 at 1600 has so much more detail than the 3200 speed films.

Great video, beautiful pics! 👍🏻 As I live in Norway where the winters are dark and long, I shoot HP5 at 1600 ISO out of pure necessity. From November to March. Works fine, but I allways long for the days when I can put FP4 and PanF in my camera. Keep it up! 😊

if you ever are struggling with a video idea, I would love to see one on the process of your creative journey: ie where you started and where you are now. Love your videos, I hope ypu are stoked on your current lifw.

I think 800 is the sweet spot for HP5, I was never all that impressed with it at box speed and always gravitated to Tri-X, but shooting HP5 @ 800 gives it the contrast and punch I feel it lacks at box speed.

I swear you pushed HP5 when you were using the 2x3 camera in le mountains a while back

we live for new grainydays

That Budweiser camera is probably one of the most interesting things I have ever seen lmao

@ 4:12 one other reason to push/pull is to adjust the contrast, aka as the Dynamic range of the scene is too close or far away, that is, the highlights and shadows, from the middle grey; same with the 'zone_system', you are doing this to give a FLAT scene some depth and 3D pop, as an affect for your vision of the scene.

loved Dune, watched it twice in theatres, soooo enjoyable

Thanks for introducing me to "Beer and Cameras".

Great video and there are some photos I really love in there. It'd be interesting if you could develop on how the contrast from pushing is different from adding contrast digitally? I'm waiting for my first pushed b&w film to get developed at the moment 🙂

I like the message from sponsor in the last part :D

Nice collection of pics. Nice video too

More frequent videos please Jason 🙏😉

Watching this masterpiece while pushing TriX 400 to 6400 in HC-110.

I like to push my B+W 2 stops so I can have faster shutter speeds, and when I am in bright light I just put a 2 stop ND on to get my aperture opened up to f 5.6 - 8 .

push it 10 stops

If you really like HP5 pushed grain and TMX 400. I'd suggest trying Delta 400, normally it feels kind like the in-between film. Maybe push 1 stop or so, add Rodinal developer for extra spicy grain if you are into those grainy look.

thank you man, i was missing you already

God your black and white stuff is amazing

Excellent Photos!

if you can't make up your mind about HP-5+, try going up in format, aka to 4x5" sheets, and also selenium toning, as Rachel Brewster-wright did, in an Ilford video, on toning, a lady, with tattoos, but wow, a nice image (and darkroom paper too!).

Jason has changed film culture as we know it. Goodbye vintage cars, hello planes.

Very tasty shots of the Getty

Dune was SOOO GOOD OMG

Good experiment ! No pain no grain !

I've been on a Dune bender and I can't stop thinking about the grain. Guess this means, I need to buy some HP5 and test out the +2 stops.

when i used to shoot hp5 i wold use the box speed but i never worked with it digitally only really worked with it in the darkroom but i found that if the correct contrast filters and exposure time were used with the enlarger i got somewhat similar results tho it did vary sometimes

Dune was the only thing on my mind for about a week. My only problem with it was that it wasn't shot on 35mm because the grain would have looked really nice in the sand.

TIL LA is like the Arctic and has sun 24 hours a day in the summer.

Great shots Jason!

Tri-X 400 is another stock that looks absolutely fantastic pushed 2 stops

Dune is a Masterpiece!! And the books even more

Super vid! That Voigtländer lens is unreal
