Nighttime Long Exposures With NEW Cinestill BWXX [120] (Fuji GW690III)

I shot a couple of rolls of the brand new Cinestill BWXX film in medium format (120 film) at night with my Fujifilm GW690III. I took to the streets of my local town in Georgia to do some architectural and street style, long exposure photography minus the people (because it was night time!) This film is a beautiful black and white cinematic film that features incredibly dark blacks and a strong contrast between highlights and shadows. I really enjoyed shooting it and I'm so glad that Cinestill brought it to medium format. It seems to handle long exposures incredibly well and handles reciprocity failure like a dream! It has an incredibly fine grain and it's variable ISO ranges are an interesting feature that make it stand out from other black and white films and make it unique. I chose to shoot it at 200 ISO as it was right in the middle of the range (100-400). Thank you so much for watching and I hope you enjoy! New film photography videos come out as soon as I can possibly shoot, develop, and edit them! :)

I think the time mode makes it so that the shutter does not close unless you hit the button again. I could be way off though

@KelseySmithPhotography 2 жыл бұрын

You would think so, but for some reason the shutter literally will not close unless you wind the next frame on. Really weird quirk, but it’s not the worst thing in the world! Thanks so much for watching Jason! :-)

Ohhh that shot at 5:34 was my fav. Also it was cool to see that shutter release wire. My dad has a few of those and I never got to see them in action. I liked your video and subscribed to your channel!

Luckily this video was recommended as I'm planning on shooting some night shots with some friends. BTW, the manual for the Fuji GW690 says to change your shutter from T to 1 rather than using the film advance lever to trip the shutter as you can create a light leak to the next frame. Great stuff btw.

I think the alleyway shot at @11:13 was the best shot. The lighting just seems to really blow out on all the others so not really my style but you found some really great spots and compositions! Congrats.

Thank you so much for the feedback!! It was a bit of an experiment because I couldn’t find any reciprocity data, but I think I learned a lot about this film for next time! Thanks for the comment! :-)

Thanks for at least picking an iconic gas station & for owning the cliché. 😂. I don’t care if it’s a typical “film bro” thing, I fucking love it. Very nice night time shots.

Btw, what metering app do you use?

@KelseySmithPhotography 2 жыл бұрын

I have 2 that I use interchangeably, but the one I used in this video is just called “light meter” and the logo has a little plus and minus sign on it in the App Store!
