I wish I knew film was made with gelatin… 😱

This guide resonated with me and how I understand things. Big thanks, this and one of your similar previous videos have made me feel a lot more comfortable shooting analogue.

Back in the 90s i took a friends camera to the alps climbed mt blanc through the night to get the sunset, took 15 to 20 shots so excited with how they would turn out got back opened it and realised i hadnt loaded the film 😂

Very realistic view on the hobby. Thanks!

It's even cheaper if you buy 35mm bulk rolls (100ft/30m). You just have to get yourself a bulk film loader and 35mm empty/recycled 35mm cartridges.

I ordered a Pentax k1000 and it will arrive within a week. I'm so excited... thank you for your valuable tips.

So the german flag was accidentally inspired on a light leakage on a film photography

Here is links to the light meters I mention in the video: Free light meter: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.willblaschko.android.lightmeterv2.free paid light meter: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dq.fotometroNa&hl=en_US These are just the ones I have personal experience with, maybe you like them. try them out. reply to this comment if you want a seperate video focussed on light metering

I have a question, I’m new to film photography and the main reason I wanted to do it is to have physical photos, so I was wondering how do I get my film onto a physical photo?

It's incredibly cheap... The savings from investing in the hardware is going to keep you going for years before the net costs get up to the level of comparable digital. It's also not that hard. It's no different from shooting manual or with priority mode with digital interchangeable systems. Learn the exposure triangle applies to all forms of photography.

There's probably 10 other comments mentionning this, but there's a way to learn, save money while shooting film, and have some fun on the way. Without going to the extent of buying bulk film and making your own film canisters (which I guess is fun too but quite the investment, generally speaking), buying black and white film such as Fomapan or Agfa APX (400, 200, or 100 ISO) and developing it on your own is a way. If you're patient enough, finding a second-hand development tank along with some film development gear (film extracter, some good-quality glassware, etc.) on the cheap is really doable. B&W development can be done "on the cheap" (will last you a long time, not insanely expensive to get into) with Rodinal + Ilford Rapid Fixer and is actually quite forgiving as long as you don't royaly screw up (like exposing the film to light during the loading of the development tank). Overall, developing on your own is, in my opinion, real fun, inexpensive to get into, and a good way to save in the medium to long run. In the end, you're left with the scanning of the film, which you can also do on your own, but here options vary widely based on luck (sometimes you can find a cheap-ish scanner for a bargain) and your wallet (a brand new PlusTek 8200i will set you back something like 500€, lol).

your major camera shops sale those mercury batteries now

small tip: i put a small piece of duct tape over the button that opens the back, i'd ifdget with it and accidentally open it

Thanks for the great tips! I’ll definitely keep these in mind to up my game with my Minolta X-700. Appreciate you sharing with the community!

very cool!

The hooxi shot is sick!

OBAMNA

Very nice video!

Amazing work!

fucking awesome griff, well done

Awesome video and shots griff, keep up the great work

very cool

chad. also nice cinematography

let's go Griff

WDYM that the two koi pictures are okay? They’re lowkey fire!!

Fantastic and informative video! Knowledge reduces intimidation

i made the mistake of thrifting a polaroid and now im modding 35mm film to fit 126 kadaks and thrifting for an actual 35mm camera

Are we not gonna mention the plant in the foreground of this video. Super distracting.

I just bought a Nikon FM2, and some of these tips don't only apply to film photography, just photography in general. Also the battery for your light meter, if it's like the one on the FM2, you can stack 2 button batteries on top of one another.

I just grabbed my first SLR! Nikon FE. I shoot with my Sony 7sii so this is new too me. lol but I’m excited.

What a fantastic video - thanks. I'm 56 and found my old Rollei 35B when we were having a sort out. I'm going to put a film in and take it from there. Wish me luck.

Blessings, Jesus loves you. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” ‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬

For your first 35mm SLR that will be a buy one that does it all would be a Nikon FE because it has a basic auto feature and it has an excellent light meter plus double exposure and apature preview, everything you will need.

I bought an old Canon AE-1 back in April (2024) with a 50mm lens for $85 US. I bought a 28mm lens from someone on fb market place. It looks new. A couple of weeks ago I bought an old Minolta SRT 202 with a 50mm for $40 US. That 50mm has fungus though. I have a friend that has a lens repair kit. I'm going to borrow it and see if I can save that lens. He landed me one of his 50mm and 28mm lens to use for now. It takes the 1.3v battery that they don't make anymore. There's a conversion kit you can get to use newer batteries but I think I'm going to buy a light meter that goes into the hot shoe. That way of I buy any other old cameras that the light meter doesn't work in I can just put that light meter on it.

Got a Canon AE1 with a 50mm and old Film (from 2005) for 5€. Seller had no idea if the camera works. The camera works btw. I had luck.

Hey dude, you left some arugula on the lens.

That's awesome

It's wonderful to see creativity in young people. Great work, keep it up. ....from an old film dude in Massachusetts.

as someone who's looking into trying out film photography from 2 years doing digital, i might have to take some time to get used to overexposing photos as a chronic underexposer

If you open the camera back in mid roll by mistake, if you close it immediately, you will probably only ruin 1 or 2 frames.

This is so cool. I recently got into photography and want to try this

Not necessary to set it over one stop.

Great video .. After finding digital photography in my late 50's as a hobbyist photographer it was a fun and challenging journey. During that period in my photography hobby, I would pick up film cameras here and there at yard sales, thrift shops etc. Never intending to use them, except for display in my office. Maybe it is being nostalgic, but I am wanting to go back to film photography. I enrolled in a photography 101 class back in high school and I really enjoyed that class. I have a Canon T70, EOS Rebel XS and a Mamiya 1000 DTL that are all in excellent shape. I appreciate you making this video and sharing your thoughts and advice on film photography. Being retired, I am excited in going back to the future with my photography! I am subscribing :)

Film Photography is NOT EXPENSIVE. People make it expensive by having their film processed. Learn to do EVERYTHING yourself. Any pastime you involve yourself in will cost some kind of money to get set up. Photography or Golf etc. Film Photography costs me maybe less than $300 a year. I shoot 35mm, Medium Format, and Large Format. I take my time.

As a beginner can i shoot street photography with my olympus om1? It has internal light meter but it takes a while to figure out how to set it all up. Myb i should get a digital for a street?

Shame they were misaligned but some of them work really well like that. The split one with you and your girlfriend facing each other is pretty cool. I really appreciate this and your other videos on the Lomochrome, CineStill and Kodak films; these weird Lomo films are what got me to pull the trigger on a simple 70s Konica rangefinder. I'm interested in what you can get from the other Lomochrome films, if you've shot the other ones you had in the Lomo Purple video.

Late to this but these Prakticas used the old school method of black twine down in the upper and lower grooves in the back that the fits into. If you are getting leaks there you can replace it, search for info. But this old way actually holds up better than the foam on all the Japanese cameras.

nice video! i want to know if i want to shoot double exposure photos , the first one need to shoot the scenes? then the second one shoot portrait? what's the right sequences? thanks
