If you want your ditital photos to look more like film then why not try my go to lightroom preset, available here - www.lucylumen.com/shop/p/lucys-warm-film-preset

The path to the "I'm Quitting KZfaq for My Mental Health" video is lined with videos made for other people. Good on you for doing what you want.

There are some great M43 small cameras and lenses that are exceptional. I’m totally sold on M43 as previous Full Frame user.

You do you, others don't control you, you rock.

All the best and happy for you.

So stoked for you Lucy! I love your fashion content and how you’re weaving that with photography. As a woman who’s into all of that, I’m so here for it✨

It is amazing that you made a career with something you enjoy so much( Photography) and seeing the journey that got you there has been so uplifting. I’m also very happy that your in a place were you want to express and share with us, all your interests which In turn let’s us see a bit more of the things that make you such a fantastic and unique person.

I've really enjoyed watching the various facets of your content as it has evolved over the years. The only constant is change. Keep up the good work!

Big congrats on your career path, it’s awesome seeing you branching out on different things, that’s how you grow. People want us to be one trick poneys over here, you do you Lucy, and i’ll keep watching !

Glad to see a new photography focused video. You create fantastic content, no matter what the subject, so I support all your efforts here and elsewhere. Keep up the good work.

I like to see that you are making all kinds of different content that interests you! You are a whole person, and you should not feel beholden to whatever aspect people first found you for.

I've been using my Canon EOS 7 and 7ne cameras for concert photography and I absolutely love these models. They've been a big reason for me to make the transition to film from digital. I went with Canon EOS cameras because I could use the same EF L lenses I use for digital. They were a great price because they were sticky but some rubbing alcohol cleaned it up fine. I love the balance of these cameras and they weigh so much less than my Minolta SR-T 101 that I don't use anymore because I like the adjustable diopter in the viewfinder.

I've been a big fan of yours since the start of your channel. You've been such an inspiration to me and I really love your style in all things photography, fashion, music, etc. I'm so glad you're doing what feels good to you. You don't owe anybody anything, except being true to yourself. So excited to continue following along on your journey. Much love from Chicago.

My first brand new SLR was going to be a Canon 7n, I ordered it at a local camera shop around 2004, Changed my Mind and got a Nikon N80. Years later I gave my N80 to a friend and got a new F100, went shooting with the F100 today!.😃

I'm glad you are focused on content which makes you happy and fulfilled, personally and professionally. KZfaq burnout, trying to keep everyone satisfied, has claimed too many accounts I used to enjoy. It's no good for the creators or their audience.

Shame some ppl made you feel you needed to make that intro. Live your best life Lucy!

Love you, love your videos, love your photos and now also love your preset😬 Really enjoyed this video! and really happy for you that you’re doing what you love! Looking forward for more photography content and whatever content that interests you and makes you feel good:)

The 90's slrs are underrated. I have a all manual pentax spottie but have my dad's old eos500n which I learnt film on and which will never break.

Lucy, do what suits and fits your life now. Those complaining about content please ignore them. You are doing right things ,enjoy what you are doing. Remember too,put yourself and family. Maungaturoto New Zealand.

I like seeing the other content as well! It’s cool seeing the way you’re integrating the film vibe into your client work.

our path as artists is never in a straight line, and i am happy that you are able to challenge yourself and grow as an artist. i do miss your photo walks, but only because i have never been to Oz and enjoyed the scenery as much as the photography talk. i have been enjoying following your journey and will continue too

Hey Lucy! Happy to see some photo-centric content, but sad you had to explain and justify your choices… I must say, you did it perfectly though! 😊 Also, the new set design looks amazing! Keep doing what you love and the rest will fall in place.

4:06 WALLPAPER! 🥰 📸

Really happy to see you evolve and following your passion, Lucy ✌️😊

Great to see a new video! You're doing great!

You do you Lucy ! You're the boss of you ! Love all the Nikon L35AF content, my favorite also. I have 4 right now, but my 1000 model needs a bit of a repair. It only shoots with self timer, guess I could use it on a tripod for landscapes or anything really ! But I'll probably have to send it out. Keep up your great work and don't worry about the negative one's ! LarryMac

Congrats for getting a job that aligns with your passion! I found your channel through your review of Olympus lenses and had been thinking about getting an OM2n with a 50mm f/1.4, and I have been loving your channel since! Don't feel that you have to apologize to anyone about the kind of content that you post on IG because at the end of the day, it IS your IG!

So happy for you Lucy, you deserve the accolades!! congrats on your new direction! Always enjoy your content! Cheers, Michael

Ms Lumen, saw your KZfaq video. Like that you using film for your photos. Using vintage digital cameras seems to be something a few people are trying for a retro look lately. I have had different cameras of moderate price since the 1960s. Still have several film cameras besides digital cameras. Great that you explore ideas that come to your mind or that you see something that intrigues you and you explore those ideas. Be sure to take time outs to refresh yourself. Like your adventurism.

Good on ya. Follow your passion. Keep up the great work.

Fantastic!! Loved this and love the success you are having as a content crearor. Great stuff.Thanks very much :)

So, mostly what I say is my opinion, driven by too many years on this planet, some with a film camera, but since the late 90's, exclusively digitals, of which I prefer 3-6 pixel CCD's from the early 2000's. I completely appreciate your distinction of shooting as a film purist, but recognize your need to, well, eat and feed your child. Mostly, I never shoot for money. I like to experiment from time to time. On this U-tube medium, I have published a couple videos, but the piece I've liked the most is a moving slide show I published the year our mom died, about a decade ago, featuring the demolition of the hospital in which she worked for many years. I shot with my Pentax Ist DS, procssed the photos on AC/DC, them made a video with selected photos, set to music, using Pinnacle software. Without a doubt, producing video is the most time consuming, and for me, the least rewarding activity. Without boring you with mindless U-Tube metrics, this production continues to garner views for over a decade, surprising me even though the numbers aren't overwhelming. They are consistent, which makes the project a learning experience for me. I bought the rights for the music, and suggest the posting will long live on after my eventual demise. I super enjoy viewing your photographs, and watching you talk with your hands. If one is interested, here's a link to projects I keep on U-Tube: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtJ6hLKS3sC1eHU.html PS: Thanks for all the fish. 🐩

I think being a content creator is about creating videos you love and you’d love to watch! I have my own channel and bounce between different forms of content: photos, fashion, music, and more. People love and watch your videos for you - those folks are your best audience

You are awesome Lucy and great to see that you are living a full creative life doing what you love! Don't feel guilty over strangers online! Let's be honest how much can we talk about cameras? It gets pretty repetitive quickly!

Good to see you back here Lucy! Love the Canon SLRs! I have two of them! Thanks for sharing! 😊

You do you ❤😊 !!! Don't know what the fuss is all about!!! Good luck with new adventures!!!!

Love your enthusiasm, very best of luck!

I’m happy I found you. Your totally different and your taste I admire In a women. Free spirited, fun, and entertaining. I got my first small P&S camera because of you. Would love to see your future works. Hopefully you can come to states and shoot over here

Enjoy your journey !!!!

Coming from a guy…it’s not my thing but that doesn’t matter! I’ll follow you for photography when it happens but in between of you doing what you want there’s so much more beauty in that! You’re personality is perfect and seeing you happy doing what you want to do is the contagious part! Keep it up we are all finding our own way!

Hi Lucy! I got myself a pre owned XE-1. Could you share any go to film simulation recipes you have other than your own preset? Thanks!

I'm sorry people are dicks. You're amazing. I love that you've continued doing the things that make you happy

word of advice on the Elan 7--very good camera. It's only weakness is the film door latch. it is plastic and once it is broken the camera is dead and the only replacement parts come from another elan body. It is very easy to break--one drop or bang--and it's done for. I went through 3 latches before I gave up on shooting my beloved Elan...

Just keep on being you, Lucy

As you might remember I have the EOS30 SLR, which I think will be called the 7E in your part of the world. It has the eye control auto focus. The EOS33 is the same but without that feature, which I think is called the 7 So confusing having different names for the same camera in different parts of the world!

the bokeh swirliness on the that new TTartisans lens looks so cool! like the helios 44's!

I’m new here. Do what’s in your heart and it will always be fulfilling to you and us.

You’ve done great 👍 I was proud the other day seeing a pro photographer shooting me working on a nature macro shot. And then he stole my shot 🤣🤣🙄

KZfaq for me is more about the personality of the content creator rather than the content itself. Sure, the subject is what initially draws you to that channel, but, like you said, how often can you do the same videos over and over and over. Eventually it becomes forced, and that’s when the creativity dies. I applaud your decision to adventure into other content as it relates to your personal tastes. And I’m here for it 🙂

Love Flash !!!📸 😂 Selfie 👑 queen!!!!

To be honest, I like more your Instagram now, I really like the colors of a lot of the photos. It's more interesting to see your work and your personality than camera reviews...

Very interesting! Your commercial work definitely looks very interesting and it is great borrows from your personal work. Something for us to think about when AI has brought commercial content creation to a crossroad. AI is becoming very good at creating mid level generic quality stuff. Creators will have to lean in to their personal style and creativity to stand out.

Did you edit the color of the ZV1 II? looks so great Greeting from México

I'm fine if people want to change their content. Its like anything else in life things change. Only time I got mad when a channel changed their content was the SyFy channel started playing wrestling the WWE. But that's a cable channel that's different. LOL

Good on you. Fuck the begrudgers. You owe no one any explanations for what makes you happy. Love the new yellow and orange set btw

Honestly, while I appreciate your photography content, I find the tone of dismissing your followers in a manner that implies indifference towards their support and focusing solely on generating income for yourself quite arrogant and pretentious. I'm not here to judge your attitude, just offering my perspective. Thank you, Lucy, for the journey, but as you've mentioned, all good things must come to an end. This marks the conclusion of my engagement with your channel. Best of luck. 🤙🤙🤙

To be perfectly honest, 95% of the content on Y.T, which are masquerading as ' photography ' are nothing but advertising for this brand and that brand by people who are almost entirely sponsored or are looked at favourably by the marketing dept of those bards. Those few channels that are about making photographs and god forbid about the art, skill and craft of photography are quite rare and as a consequence have very little following compared to some guy or girl with the latest digital offering taking bad snaps of attractive young ladies or making picture post card landscape photographs that have been done a zillion times before. Ah, I forgot Street Photography, you know what I am talking about. Find a patch of light alongside some shadow, wait for a passer by to walk through it and it becomes street art, and to do it you'd need a $8000 Leica M body and a $6000 Leica Apo lens. I have even seen a few people with Hasselblad X2D 100C ( yes 100MP) do street photography. The result, the same pile of crap but 100 MP of it. So never mind others , do what you feel is good for you and your business. Keep well.

So great you can earn a living from traditional photography

SONY HAS NO VIBE!!!!! YAS lol

Buh bye 👍

One of my favorite songs which is a vibe for this train of thought. Keep doing you
