Great video. I would recommend a spot meter if you want to use the “expose for highlight” technique. Don’t give up on slide film. It really can produce some amazing images. Keep up the great work.
You're the one that decided me to get a Fuji GW690. Mine is doing the same squeequing noise as yours. Now for the slide film, exposure is capital, and I LOVE it. Shooting slilde film with this camera is a real pleasure. Your photos are really cool. Keep up shooting slide film (and negative too :D ) !!
Great video! I like how you explain why your shooting each image, something for me to learn from! I have only shot this film on 35 so might have to try it out in 120 in our mostly overcast weather here in England!
Wonderful video. I shoot almost 100% chromes and I try to do just what you did--keep the dynamic range of the scene within about 5 stops, meter the shadows, meter the highlights, and aim for a middle exposure. If it's outside of 5 stops, cheat toward correctly exposing the highlights. If there's lots of bright sky, sand, or highlights, I generally just meter that and add 2 stops exposure when shooting slides.
Im so happy to see you with the fuji again! Love that thing. I just purchased some Ektacrome myself and I'm nervous to try it out but I'm going to consider what you had said about the overcast observation you said. It will be interesting to see what I come up with.
Great photos, love the subjects and your compositions. As you talked thru the setups, I thought “yeah, I can see myself doing it the same way.” The ektachrome colors are great and you really leveraged them.
That blue that you see in E100 shadows is literally the blue of the sky. On a sunny day there are actually two sources of light, the sun and the sky itself. E100 is very sensitive to low light and thus it renders the sky bounce in the shadows as blue instead of falling off dark. The effect was even more pronounced on E200. Great work. Love the vertical compositions on 6x9.
I never understood the idea that exposure needs to be spot on for good results. I've been shooting Velvia in a wooden pinhole camera. Exposure is no where need precise and the results are always very good.
I used to underexpose Kodak slide film by 1/2 to 1 stop to get more saturation and a deeper black. My favourite was the Kodachrome 64 exposed as 100. But these days are gone. Keep on rolling.
Loving this Vid content mate....and your laid back style! Just subscribed to your channel and looking forward to more. Gary........in soaking wet England :(
Enviable location. (New York, I suppose. Definitely not Phoenix!) Nice framing. I like the Ektachrome colors, especially the reds. Recommendation, Little Brother: You need to work on the facial expressions when you are making your shots. You are being watched, after all. Perhaps, something a little more relaxed. (I am teasing, for sure, since I reckon we all do the same. But it is interesting to observe and giggle over.) Keep teaching and sharing.
Had you used a monopod, you could go away with 1/30th or even 1/15th of a second exposure. I know, using a monopod might be cumbersome to some, but it's still much more flexible way of shooting than to use a tripod. Just saying...
Agreed! I use a carbon fiber monopod when shooting my RZ67. I does add a little weight, but it gives me back anywhere from 1 to 3 extra stops, plus it makes overall camera handling and management a great deal easier. The extra mass also helps to arrest vibration due to mirror slap on the RZ. Not as good as a tripod, but def better than handheld and easier to manage than a tripod.
just found your channel, and really enjoyed your style. I wanted to come to NYC to do some shooting. If you don't have any workshops for, please let me know. I'll keep watching. Thanks
Hey Marcus, I wanted to ask you what you think of the Sekonic L-308X-U Flashmate light meter. From what I see you are using it as well. I've seen some YT videos about it but unfortunately it was only used in studio settings. I'd mainly use it for street and portrait photography without a flash and natural light. I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Thank you so much for your content!
I absolutely love it. It’s super handy and honestly for portraits it’s the best. Just giving you that extra confidence that you’re nailing your exposure.
Love your videos!! I got a question... I been struggling with exposures and have the same light meter but noticed you don't use the white dome on the meter. So I been doing this wrong???
Naw you’re not using it wrong at all. You can use the dome for sure. Just point it at the direction you’re shooting from. If you slide the dome over then use it by pointing at the subject/scene youre shooting
Your explanations of what is going trough your mind for each shot are my favorite part. You're a good teacher. 👍 And your location is perfect... make me want to take a vacation there! One question for this desert dweller... Where do you get your film processed? Everything near me shut down doing film years ago.
Hey Sharon, I’m glad you dig this format. Going to be doing a lot more of these. In terms of film processing, I use fw photo lab. Check out my description and use my code for a discount. They are the best
Yeah, on a day with such even natural lighting the colors won't really pop on slide film. Also, on 6x9 and handheld, you're sacrificing a lot of DoF. You got some nice motives though.
slide film is the best thing to shoot to learn photography. Bring a notepad and pen and write down all the different exposers you do because slides are not corrected in the lab what you see is how you shot it. Look at your notes and check your slides to see where you need to improve. In time you will look at a scene and be able to set your camera accordingly.
Great video. I would recommend a spot meter if you want to use the “expose for highlight” technique. Don’t give up on slide film. It really can produce some amazing images. Keep up the great work.
Great tip. I’m going to hang in there man
Always appreciate you, your vibes, your vision. I'm always looking forward to your new uploads!
Love to hear that. More on the way

I’m so glad that Ektachrome is back. In my dream state I still shoot Kodachrome but when I’m conscious Ektachrome is it.
Hahaha! Kodachrome would be a dream
Great video! I like how you explain why your shooting each image, something for me to learn from! I have only shot this film on 35 so might have to try it out in 120 in our mostly overcast weather here in England!
Thanks Ant! Yea man, give it a shot and see what you think
Loved your slower more deliberate approach for metering slide film …. Makes the final images that much more rewarding.
Yea you really have to slow it down even more. Last time I was metering for the shadows like I was shooting color negative film and that was a no go
@@MarcusLloyd I would totally recommend this video to someone new at shooting slide film
Awesome images, and the colors are insane…so much depth. Great vid as usual
Yo thanks bro….
It's kinda funny seeing people rediscover slide film again. It was the choice for professional publication and travel photography work before digital.
Really want to try slide film! Those shots look so good 😊
Give it a go brother
Cool stuff. You inspired me to bring out my lightmeter and play around with it in my yard.
Nice!

I just love the colors when it was overcast. Take it out for a spin and see what you get
Great! love your work.
Great photos, love the subjects and your compositions. As you talked thru the setups, I thought “yeah, I can see myself doing it the same way.” The ektachrome colors are great and you really leveraged them.
Haha I love that. I really love how life like the colors really can be
You have a fantastic demeanor. Visit a tropical island when you can. You'll have gems. More, please.
Thanks Anthony!
Love me some Ektachrome! Glad you gave it another shot...literally lol
Hahaha good one
Those colors look crazy man! Solid work!
Yea the saturation is on point
That blue that you see in E100 shadows is literally the blue of the sky. On a sunny day there are actually two sources of light, the sun and the sky itself.

Great insight! I would love to shoot some e200
Damn bro the video quality was so good! Great photos too!
Yo thanks bro! Big props to drix media on the video quality
Excellent detailed video-thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video. Loved the approach - in the field shooting and photo review. Learned a ton. Thanks, Marcus ... I am off to shoot some E100!
I love to hear that man! Happy shooting brother
These are so fire
Thanks fam
I love the colours in the one you hated. 😊

Mannn, great work as usual.
Yo thanks brother

What I wouldn’t give to shoot some kodachrome 64.
This is so dope
🙏🏾
Thats my old hood! Used to go to the deli in the thumbnail in the late 80’s!
Damn thats dope. Hope i did it justice
Yo man these are hitting!!!
Thanks bro!
great film review. I appreciate how gave some metering advice.
I’m glad you tuned in

I shoot slide film almost exclusively and I really love it, tbh. No issues at all, what's all the fuss about it? 😁
Enviable location. (New York, I suppose. Definitely not Phoenix!) Nice framing. I like the Ektachrome colors, especially the reds.

Dude it’s just one of my things….I hate it
"Shoutout to all the birds photographers tho" hahaha dead
Lmao

Really great video man! Got me excited to want to try out some slide film. Shot at 4:09 was a favourite!
Would love to see what you do with slide film
nice one 🤝
Loving this format/commentary style and of course, your photos are always lovely
I love to hear that. More of this style on the way
just found your channel, and really enjoyed your style. I wanted to come to NYC to do some shooting. If you don't have any workshops for, please let me know. I'll keep watching. Thanks
Hey Edward, let me know when you’re in town
@@MarcusLloyd The plan was to come in September but will have to see how this new outbreak effect traveling
Did y'all ever link up?

Amazing shots Marcus, love it. Are these straight out of the camera, with zero editing at all on the colours?!
Straight from the lab bro. Big props to FW photo lab
@@MarcusLloyd Big props to you brother, these are so good. Love your videos, keep em coming
Bracketing man
Definitely the way to go for slide
Brooklyn Heights!!!
FTW
Love the last photo, it just screams Monet.
Far too kind bro

Ain’t that the truth. It truly is a different level of slowing down even within a slow art form already (film photography)
I realize that I’m showing my age when I talk about Kodachrome. I’m waiting for someone to say “OK boomer” when I start talking about it.
I miss Kodachrome. So does Paul Simon, I guess :-)
do people ever say you look like T.I.? cuz its true
Bahahahaha all the time bro
He do not look like no damn T.I. 😂
