Now viewers know why the French word for "flair, style"- elan- can be found in Whelan. And no, I am not related to TW. These are photos from someone who clearly knows and loves the place intimately. They are similar to the Irish photographer Ivan McMahon- high praise indeed.

Did you count for reciprocity failure? And hiw did you meter the scene?I really like it❤

@tomwhelan 23 күн бұрын

Hi thanks for watching, if I remember correctly I approximately doubled the exposure time for reciprocity. Just did a basic meter for the scene with a light meter app. Its really harder than think to really overexpose at night, so if unsure just give it a little extra time.

Tom! Did you know Davy Crockett Used one of these Yashica cameras during the siege of the Alamo in 1836!? Using just one roll of Kodak Eastman 5222 black and white 35mm motion picture film he shot enough sprocket holes to stave off General Santa Anna and his army of 2000 men for THIRTEEN DAYS! Thank you so much for sharing! More people need to learn about the Yashica and its rich AMERICAN history of nearly 200 years. Learn more in my new youtube short "the untold history of the Yashica Mat 124G"

The trick with square format is to frame more of the foreground into your shots. Since the square format is so tall, in a sense it is like shooting portrait orientation 35mm. Otherwise if you have too much sky in the shot you are stuck having to crop the photo from 6x6 to 6x4.5... Also I personally find that the 80mm or so lens on most TLR cameras is perfect for portraitures but is just a bit too tight for landscape. You need more like a 65mm for landscapes.

Hi Tom, after 25 years of digital photography I'm enjoying analogue photography again. Spoilt by the EXIF data of digital photos, I wonder how you can remember the settings of 20 photos. Do you keep a log during the photo session? Thank you for your unaffected and authentic videos! Best regards, Lutz

Hi Tom I’m new to your channel. I enjoyed this thank you. My experience trying to make digital (B&W) photos look like film in LR has been hit and miss until lately when I discovered the huge (to me) benefits of judicious use of the texture slider (an increase of c15) in conjunction with a reduction in clarity. I find like you that more grain than one might think of using is key but LR just applies it as a ‘blanket’ over the top and you lose the lovely effect with film where the grain is less apparent on sharper edges and they ‘pop’ out of the rest of the grain so nicely. I’ve found that adding some texture sorts it out, giving sharper edges without the slightly sledgehammer effect of clarity. I also use dehaze on linear gradients on flat skies; this brings out tones I often didn’t realise were there. Like the intersecting linear grad - thanks - haven’t tried that before.

Lovely job Tom. Learned a few techniques here as I too relish my Nikon FE2 shooting experience over digital. I’ve just recently bought the Nikon ZF and am loving the digital experience with adapted old Nikon glass. Your brief tutorial is the icing on the cake for me, touching up the digital shots for film output is all I was missing. Thanks for your insights✌️👍

The best film simulator I've come across for digital is 'virtualPhotographer' by optikVerve Labs, version 1.5.6. I think it can be used as a standalone but mine just sits in the filters menu of Photoshop. Its free, no adverts, takes up no hard drive space, very customisable, and you can keep favourite 'recipes' to use on other shots. Been around for at least a decade. Easy to track down as freeware on the internet. Sometimes you think something for nothing has to have a catch, but I've had it on two separate computers and never had it glitch. I think its partially responsible for me going back to shooting film from digital a couple of years ago.

@lensman5762 4 ай бұрын

This is a good demo Tom. The problem with adding noise ( grain ) digitally is that the software applies it equally across the image. This is not how film works. The grain is usually more evident in the mid to high tones. The appearnce of grain in the shadows is rather more suppressed. In a digital simulation, once you close into the shadows all you get is something very similar to digital noise. The other issue with digital files is that unnaturally high edge contrast. This is something that fools 98% of photographers into thinking that the image is super sharp. Film does not exhibit this menace, even if a high acutance developer were used. I find that by reducing the calrity selectively, a compromise of a sort can be achieved. In the final analysis, Fuji can put out hundreds of ' film simulations ', but in practice it does not look like B&W film at all, the simulations do better with colour I have to say. When I do feel that I have to simulate film, I use the DXO Optics NIK pack. Not cheap, but there is much more control over the conversions than what LR has to offer, and the grain simulation is a bit more realistic than just digital noise. Looking forward to your film photography.
