      @@nickcarverphoto Hiya, Nick, a question from someone not familiar with filming for movies. You mentioned that reciprocity is not encountered in a movie camera. Is that simply because they run 24 frames a second through them and thus there is no prolonged exposure time? Have you considered, if you want to block a streetlight out, making a blind that can hook over those thumb screws on your camera so you don't have to tie up a hand holding it? Also, it'll reduce the chance you might shake the camera during a timed exposure. You were concerned that the piece of plastic blinding the streetlight might show up in the photo. If you had it mounted rather than hand held you could look through the view finder to verify it isn't. Just a thought.

    I like the way the CineStill give a bit of a slight sickly green tint to the fluro lights rather than the warm cast the Portra gives. The shot feels more sunlit with the Portra whereas the Cinestill is more "hey, look at this shop, it's not natural!" and I love that juxtaposition.

    I'm drawn to the coldness of the Cinestill photos. It accentuates the loneliness and independence of an early shift life. The pink halo is an awesome contrast for the cool fluorescence lighting. I thought you were going to swallow the toothpick on a few occasions.

    These videos can always help me destress. Everything about these location videos is so serene to me, I'll come back to them several times if I need to wind down after a rough day. Maybe it's the pacing, no over the top and unnecessary high-energy edits, just slow and serene like the pics. Thanks Nick!

    So I was getting new tires the other day, and there's this road worker in the median making survey measurements. The weird thing is that there was no guy with the stick to be found. I thought the guy was up to no good. I got closer but then it was clear that he had a toothpick in his mouth. I immediately retreated.

    First of all I love these videos. I GREATLY appreciate that you show the frustrations of shooting on location.
    As for Cinestill vs Portra. That's a tough one. The Cinestill looks more lonesome and desolate with the cooler tones. The portrait evokes a place that while not exactly welcoming at least wasn't abandoned by people, if that makes sense.

    I know the frustration...I once went to a location (sunrise over an ocean pool with glassy water in the pool. Always had some crazy person swimming laps in the middle of winter. I went 10 times to get that particular shot. The 10th time I was just expecting the same as the other times,....BUT, this time there was no one there, the conditions were perfect, I was so excited to finally get the shot. Patience and persistence is often a requirement.

    Great video, Nick. I died laughing at the Cinestill gas station joke.
    You mentioned that you don't film a lot of on location because sometimes it is a lot of failing before you get the shot. I actually love seeing that persistence in your videos. Social media has a way of distorting people's view of reality and you see all these great images and when I go out the light doesn't work, or there's no clouds so the image is just boring, and I get frustrated. It's good for people to see that you are actually just working hard for the images you get and you sometimes have to keep going back to get the image you want. I've been trying to incorporate that more into my photography and it has helped a ton.

    I like the CineStill because it has more of the archaeologist from the future vibe.
    I’m not sure if you have a book about these lonely American civilization buildings. But if you don’t you should. It is a very useful and impressive body of work.
    Personally these images make me think about how beautiful the USA was before the arrival of Europeans.
    My hat is off to you on the film photography I miss my Arca Swiss and wish I had your patience. The 617 is one of the truly great formats. This tire store shot is particularly beautiful. Tho in my world view very sad.
    Much as I love what you do, and am sorely tempted to go back to film, I think I am going to upgrade to the Fuji gfx 100S and shoot in their 24::65 format snd crop to 1::3.
    Bottom line your work is inspiring and makes me want to find more time for photography.
