Wishing you all the best in the new year! Looking forward to your videos next year. As for me, best camera is Fujica GW690, and the top films were Acros II, which I can't find anymore here, and then Delta 100. You are exactly right that photography is about seeing and experience. I see the world differently when I'm carrying a camera.

Discovering your channel, I am pleased to finally find out some really interesting content about photography and not gear!! Thanks

Yes,, art!

Wow the the image at 6:07, just beautiful light, and unique look.

I keep looking at the RB slr's on Ebay. You are kinda a bad influence. I'm just going to walk away now.

Te felicito Ari ...tus videos son motivadores .

I like snow too. I also like your pile of books waiting to fall off your piano. 😅

Great video, as always. Wondering how frequently you rely on the meter in your Rolleiflex. Happy holidays!

And the Oscar goes to: Ari Jasksi/Shoot on Film, ---------for Producer, Director, Actor, Musical Score, Set Design, Costume Designer, Make Up & Hair Design-------- In other words you win the "Whole Enchilada". Congratulations & have a great Holiday Ari. Cheers from the Academy.

This video reminded me of a photography teacher in college who preached the idea of… first emulate, then create. Great stuff !

Very inspirational. Thanks 🙏 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I love how you just talk... no BS. Simple. Straightforward. Keep at it, Ari. And thank yoj.

I always enjoy your videos and also your music! I'm glad that you picked your TLR as your #1 Camera. My #1 choice is my Mamiya C-330! I love Medium Format and the ability to change lenses on my Mamiya. I have all 7 lenses and also some of the accessories, so my life is complete. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Lovely!!

Really enjoyed this. Had to put on Blues In Green to celebrate.

Love it!

What about developers, shure there is some favorites for you!?

Only man I know who uses a Hasselblad as a GoPro

Great stuff as always, Ari. I'm surprised how much contrast you bring forth in post. When I alter my film photography to the point I can really see my edits, I feel like I've gone way too far. I might start with some of the examples you showed, but I would then back each effect down until it looks to me like it could have happened in-camera. You are clearly more comfortable with bolder choices. (Maybe that's why I am watching your wonderful videos and not the other way around!) Personally, however, I love the muted original of the grasses photograph with the horizon in the background. I find that flat, sleepy look much more sensual than the tighter frame grass-focused image. I "feel" the muted image more, while I "see" the edited, refined image. Different strokes! Thanks for the great thoughts.

Oh. "Analog film process junkie". I love this. That's me too.

Great work! It's your site and home, so You decide! Every episode a Joy! Always interesting! Where we differ, the AI thing! It will take us even more from reality! I will do a longer piece on this! Have a Great, Super Christmasand a Wonderful New Year, to You and Yours! Bravo!

I started shooting black and white in 1970 as a 15 year old. I bought a camera for five dollars, we had little money so frames were precious. By the time I got to college in the mid-70's I had saved up for a Nikon FM with a 35 mm lens. And I had the college darkroom, chemicals and paper for free. I took some years off to concentrate on my profession. The pandemic was helpful as I had lots of time for film. I have a few medium format cameras. My favorite is my Rollieflex 3.8 E. Second is the Mamiya 7. I am now begging to take 4x5 photos. It is all B&W. I develop and scan my own film. I prefer Tri-X. I really enjoy your channel above all others. A few reasons, I very much like the photos that you take. Your technical ability is superb and you share it in a way that is enjoyable and accessible. I like the cameras that you shoot with. Your personality, sense of humor, and philosophy all sit very well with me. So my message to you is Happy New Year. Please keep the content coming, I watch every video. And finally, thank you.

Hi Ari, just a question: I seem to have pesky water spots in my B/w negs. I used to be too rushed in inverting my developer tank, was worse then. So I learned to be much gentler. I still get Those nasty spots from time to time. Any suggestions?

Great experiment. RUclips showed me the video of Lucy Ridges - Between Truth & Illusion on the Ilford channel after your video which was perfect in atmosphere

Glad you picked FP4+ as you favourite. I absolutely love the look of that film. Just the perfect amount of grain and the buttery tones are divine.

Shoot on Film has been my favourite YT channel this year, and I watch quite a few. I think the things that set you apart are the creativity, the sense of fun and exploration and particularly the philosophical dimension. Thanks for making and sharing all these wonderful videos in 2024. Merry Christmas!

Two thumbs way up! The only gear we have in common is the Holga and Ilford films but that's OK. Have a Happy Christmas!

happy holidays to you & yours, will see you in January to look at another interesting video & hear your fireside talks

Ari, thank you, now I can get rid of all my cameras and get the ones you say are the best. I already use most of the films you rate as the best. And thank you for a year of your insights and thoughts on photography, always entertaining and thought-provoking. Have a safe and peaceful Merry Christmas. I look forward to more of your wonderful videos next year.

Hi, Ari-long time since I’ve commented. I agree with you about Rollie cameras except for one thing-the orientation drives me nuts. The film rolls in the camera from a down-up direction rather than from left to right as in an SLR. This makes me crazy when I get it in the enlarger! The pictures are sideways so I have to stand to the side to understand what I’m looking at. I have to rotate the easel 90 degrees and depending on how close the enlarger lens is sometimes it bangs into the easel when you change paper. So…nothing wrong with the cameras but boy does it make me crazy when printing! I just need to get used to looking at things sideways I guess!

Thank you for a great video to end your RUclips Year. I think my Rolleiflex 3.5f and Ilford FP4 are my favourite combination but I don't have a boat! I've enjoyed every one of your videos. Very best wishes for Christmas and the New Year with your family, see you in January.

looking forward to seeing more content in 25 - thx! merry x-mass

Every Saturday you make my day, Ari. Best wishes from Canada.

Thank you for the videos that you post. I may not always agree with what you have to say but your comments are always interesting, inspiring and thought provoking. Have a wonderful Christmas break. BTW, the Rolleiflex 2.8F is my favourite camera too!

My film photo year was created by Praktica B200 and Kiev 60. I also enjoy compact East German camera Beirette Electronic. Merry Christmas!

Unfortunately, none of those cameras came on my top 5 list (don't have them 😂). About the Bergger PanCro 400, do you develop with the Bergger Berspeed? Have a nice end of the year and a happy new one. 🙂

Hello Ari and thanks for you're video. I wonder what you develope black and white film in and/or what you could say about Filn/developer combinations? Thanks again and happy ho;idays, John.

I congratulate you for your channel. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, experiences and advice about photography. If you can and have the time for it, I’ll much appreciate if you you could advice me about what 120 manual camera (eventually a battery only for the meter) and medium format 4x5 (eventually bigger because II want to shoot with positive paper and make reversal process, even direct cyanotype in camera). The only problem is my budget I can not afford expensive equipments. I thank you in advance for your advice. Merry Christmas and very happy and best photos ever Sergio

Thank you very much for all the work you have put in to share your knowledge and experience with us. I'm really looking forward to more philosophical knowledge dissemination in the coming year. Merry Christmas and a peaceful 2025 to you and everyone close to you.

Hey Ari. Regarding your travels, how do you get film through airport security - do you ask for hand checks, or do you just run the film through the scanner there?

Heya Ari, fomapan 100 (ok in 35mm) has been my revelation this year too.. developed in caffenol for extra budget friendliness.. have a great Christmas and a fantastic new year - lang may yir lum reek - as they say round these parts.. look forward to following your journeys in 2025..

I knew number 1 would be your boat. :) You are a great inspiration, my friend!! We should talk again sometime after the Holidays. Have a very wonderful holiday season and catch you next year!! Love to the family, Ari!!

Thank you for your presence on RUclips and the sharing of your thoughts and photography/photographs during 2024. You inspired me to return to the joys and pleasure of film. I just bought a Rolleiflex 3.5F along with a Crown Graphic 4x5. I will be using these to start a project for 2025 photographing my local area throughout 2025. A changing of the seasons. Have a merry Christmas and I among many here look forward to watching your videos in 2025.

Thank you for the great video, as always! Merry Christmas and a happy New year, Ari! Let it bring you lots of inspiration and new wonderful photos! And we are waiting for new major notes to replace the minor ones that are ending the outgoing year.😊

Hyvää joulua/god jul and a happy new year :) Many thanks for a year of entertaining videos almost every sunday morning and that first holy cup of coffee :)

Thank you for another year of fun, inspiring and thought provoking content Ari. Have a relaxing break. Hyvää joulua. See you in 2025.

Happy Holidays Ari! Thanks for all your wonderful videos 😎 Cheers, Stephen

Merry Christmas and a very happy new year to you too! I love your perspective and inspiration and I look forward to our next trip around the sun! All the best

Thanks for your wonderful videos! My number one camera is a Mamiya RB67 and my "tourist camera" is a Pentax KM. My favorite film, especially in 35mm, is HP5+ but I also shoot quite a lot of Fomapan in 120 and 4x5 for a more "gritty" look.

Thanks Ari! Made some prints of a photo as gifts for my Dad and siblings this week. Thanks for the weekly inspiration! See you in January! Have a great family holiday!
