New subcriber here. Enjoyed the video. The first image at 3:18 is my favourite one. It's just an ordinary scenery with those apartments. Nothing special or eye-catching. But there's the thing. Simplicity, lightning and sharpness in details. And using the yellow filter gives nice contrast and pops out the clouds in the sky.
I’ve watched several of your videos and I have a lot of thoughts but I run the risk of sounding snarky. 1. You should learn composition. It will help with your digital photos also. 2. I hear in your videos a lot “yeah, this is “X.” “This looks interesting.” “This looks artsy.” This is my entirely subjective opinion, but usually when taking a photograph, the photographer is trying to convey something instead of aimlessly snapping away. It might help to have a plan before heading out, as it will help tell a story. Please understand basic photographic principles. Learn how ISO, shutter speed, aperture work together and how each of these things affect the exposure and depth of field of the photo. Learn how different filters affect the film. Orange/blue/red, etc. If your light meters don’t work, buy a light meter or download an app on your phone. In one of your videos you said something about keeping the shutter at 1/500. you need to meter if you’re shooting anything other than ISO 100 in direct sunlight with the aperture stopped down to f16. Understanding bracketing will help you nail the correct exposure also. You may want to research different films and look at examples on Flickr or other sites. Understand how different films and the exposure will affect contrast and overall tonality. If you’re worried about the cost of developing film: Develop your own negatives. It’s not hard. If I can do it, most people can. Look for mail order developing shops. It’s typically much less than going to a local shop. And look online for film. Don’t be afraid to try affordable brands and see what you like the best.
