Thank you Angel and C41 for a great day! Check em both out on the gram! Awesome people! :)
On it 🔥
NOSTALGIC!
Excited to see more of this. Good shit man
Give it a shot to large format, just try it, with positive and negative film. You are going to fall in love with it. I'm serious.
Welcome back (to film). We have missed you over here in the film camp.
Film to me is just focusing on the process, forgetting the result, and being surprised by the result after a while
Thats a great point!
Love this!
Love this way of thinking about it.
so fo rthe first couple of hundred years .. photographers like Avadon and Lindberg only cared about the process?
Like an expensive fidget spinner where sometimes you get keepers.
I love that you’re diving deeper into photography 😊 you’re just so damn good at it.
waiting for him to get a Mamiya 7...
nothing like starting off on a Leica,.
Thanks bro :) ❤
@@PeterMcKinnon when i shoot film I don’t see much difference between 35mm film vs digital in terms of resolution. That’s why most film shooters just shoot medium format- which in many cases exceeds the resolution of digital photography …
@@PeterMcKinnono be accurate, wouldn't this process be considered HYBRID film/digital?
The photography was film of course, but the post production was digital...
SUGGESTION, it would be interesting to use non digital developing as well. Nothing wrong with a hybrid approach, BUT if the camera is from the 1970s, perhaps limit yourself to post production technology of the 1970s? Or perhaps the 1990s(before digital cameras)
What a perfect timing! I’m gonna cry. I’ve been trying to start my own film lab business this month, this video gave me a lot of courage and confidence. Especially an artist like you, Peter, I really appreciate this. I can trust more of myself and what I’m doing is meaningful and useful. Thank you. ❤
Good luck. Crush it . Document some of it and share with us
@@ConsoleAuthority Thank you! I’ll try my best! 🥰
See what is available in your area. If there isn't and there is demand (like a small hip city or 2), you should be good. I'm 60 miles north of Boston and there are few stores left. Buuuuut... Hunts in Boston sends their E6 to the town next to me. I can drive 15 minutes and get my film developed which rules
Great! Good luck - you deserve it 🍀🍀🍀
Good luck to you.
When someone from this new generation says this, FILM IS NOT DEAD It sounds like the magic continues..thank you for your fantastic and artistic contribution..
PM is that enthusiastic guy that every month discover something new (or rediscover) and get excited like a baby. Then he makes videos about his "new" passion and ispires million of us... keep going man. Love from San Marino🇸🇲
I switched to shooting only film last year, and it was such a refresher to photography. Now I shoot both film and digi and I feel like my skills in photography has increased since shooting film.
I can’t help but feel a tinge of sadness watching this. I think many of us crave all things analogue, reminiscing about a time not so long ago where everything was much less clinical and much more innocent and personal. I hope we will have the sense to integrate the good of that era not only in our tools, but in our attitudes and humanity.
@bruderdereintagsfliege3327 lmao ikr, the good old times of Jim Crow, sundown towns, the war on drugs etc etc
Living in Seattle..It's a mess. Open drug use everywhere. Don't have to walk far to find fights, people blacked out or dead. Not sure the war on drugs was a bad idea.@@Sarocenum
Love seeing how stoked you are to shoot film!!!
Welcome back to the wonderful world of analog photography Pete! There's a few of us here in the depths of RUclips that shoot a lot of film and love to nerd out about it. There's also a huge rabbit hole to fall down and the community is very cool! I hope this video gets lots more people interested in the craft!
Another bandwagon jumper.
This brings back memories. I shot my first wedding in 1979. No one realizes but back in the day when shooting square format we had 12 rolls of 120 which is 144 pictures and we shot a whole wedding with that. Every picture we shot had to be perfect. That art has been lost.
I did the same back in the late 60s, early 70s. The beauty of shooting weddings then was NO post production. You didn’t have to sit in front of the computer in Photoshop for hours and hours. Our “post” was done in the camera as you shot.
Yeah... when you've been a lifelong film-shooter, aware of your dwindling resources (36-38 shots 35mm before you reload, appreciably less on rollfilm!) shooting digital makes you so absurdly picture-profligate! Kinda ridiculous suddenly having apparently limitless resources to keep shooting away, and I still, after quite a few years of shooting digital, find myself worrying now about the limits of SD cards and camera batteries!! I'm still adjusting..!
We are about the same. I shot my first wedding around 1980. 35MM. After a short spell of that, I got hired by a studio who told me that I had to buy a Hasselblad! So I did. They would pay me $150 a wedding... Yes...the whole day. After a couple of years I went out on my own. I'd shoot 10 rolls of 220. It was a bit nerve-wracking to not know what came out until the film came back from the lab (with prints).
@@hom296 nice I started out shooting with old Kowa 2 1/4 cameras. And I had my big Norman flash. Everything was manual. Those were the days and I miss those days.
"Every picture we shot had to be perfect" Did it have? 144 is still a lot. 24-30 great pictures would still be a great wedding picture book.
Love that you went documentary style with this. Felt like a film. Thank you!
My grandfather gave me his Minolta Srt 101, the feeling of shooting analog is insane, and the grainy photos are superb! Really enjoyed this vid Peter!
That's the camera we used in our Highschool newspaper. Great camera
The SRT 201 was the first SLR camera I have ever used. It was my dad's and he gave it to me a few years ago.
I have a Minolta x700 - from the time when you needed upper body strength to carry your camera.
Every single non-tutorial video you make is a piece of art.
Film cameras just went up 20% 😂 Great to see that film is making a come back. The sense of community that's comes with shooting film is second to none. You do what you love and make friends along the way.
And right at the point when there is a massive jump in film prices!
Expensive for sure!
awesome news !!! thx
Too expensive for most of us
Lol good thing I was already into it. Got mines before the hype got crazy
This is our absolute favourite era of Peter McKinnon! Seeing you give some love to film was such a huge moment for us!! All the love x
I was into VFX first, and I discovered your videos when you had like around 80K subscribers. Watching them inspired me to pursue photography, which I've always been drawn to. I even sometimes wish I had been born 20 or 30 years ago. Well, the thing is, I liked your style better at first, and then slowly you started to post and make videos about vintage things and the stories they have in your life. I'm also a big vintage lover, so I loved your style already, but your content got even better for me once you started incorporating vintage stuff into your videos. As I learned more about storytelling and photography, I became increasingly fascinated by the colors and aesthetic of film cameras. I've recently started shooting more on film, so I was thrilled when I saw that you began shooting on film too. Words can't express how happy it makes me feel to watch your latest video. I also wanted to mention that I've always appreciated your skill at storytelling, and the way you convey your stories is what I love the most. Shooting on film has added an extra layer to your work that I find truly captivating.
Slow down, shoot film, find the light and those moments of beauty. Sounds a lot like Zen and the art of photography. Thanks so much for the thought provoking content.
You always reset my camera experience, Pete.
It always feels so fresh to take a picture, make a video, to edit and to explore every corner of my creativity.
i’ve been watching youtubers i used to watch earlier, for the past couple days and just realised that i have had basically every hobby. like most hobbies i have or wanted to do
I have been shooting a lot more film in the last two years and also I’ve been able to grab some of the best film cameras ever produced for pennies on the dollar. It’s exciting to see you wander back to it as this is where it all started. Proud of you. Hope you’re well. Stay blessed my friend.
I’ve been shooting film alongside digital for a little over a year now. It actually helped my digital process so much and help me understand the importance of light and how to make use of shutter speed and aperture in more creative ways. I’m sure I could have learned it eventually without a film camera but it definitely feels like it sped up that process for me
Beyond anything else, it's super cool to see you geeking out about doing this. The joy is palpable in the video.
You are my first photography love. Thanks for being part of this world and make it amazing.
Watching Pete continuously fall in love with Photography over and over again is such a vibe. 🤙🏻
Exactly - and he is kind enough to bring us along for the ride. ;-)
been waiting for this day to come. there is something very special about film photography that ive never quite gotten from digital.
This made my day, dude! Your reactions were all the same as mine when I dove into film recently ... the shutter sound, the light metering, and getting that first roll back that didn't suck! As always, well done video and appreciate your thoughtfulness around photography
Switched to digital maybe 7 years ago. Even developed my own stuff before that. Don't see myself ever going back to film but my oldest son loves it. Gave him my film cameras. He even did his final project for a directing/screenwriting degree on film. The only one in his college that year.
Love that you're shooting film! It's just a majestic experience and I just keep falling deeper into it. I grew up with it, too, and every time I tried to throw it away, convinced that digital was completely superior, it never happened. I'm launching a community darkroom fundraising campaign on Monday, so this has me extra pumped. :)
It's not a new era... It's a old art, long forgotten, but still appreciated by not many in our world
This is insane timing. I just received my first film camera in the mail.
The bucket shot video is what got me into photography. So excited to see the guy who got me into this return to film!
Camera prices about to shoot up even more 😂
I’m sure it’s been said, but with a 6x7 negative, it is a .5 crop, so the 105 is closer to 52mm. I love my 67, and the negatives that it produces! Modern digitals are amazing, and clinical. They produce terrific images, but feel somewhat soulless. Shooting film still fills me with joy every time!
Great vid as always 👍 Look forward to more film excursions to come!
Story telling at it's finest! Most especially the appreciation of the art!
This is the most coolest video ever. Specially position attitude & no tension at all while shooting film ( as everyone get nervous)
I've had 8mm and 16mm film in the fridge for over 10 years, thinking one day I'll use it, even though I can't use these particular rolls anymore. It's a nice reminder of a different kind of artistic expression and one I'll always remember LOVING! 🎞
Bought a ‘57 Chevy, restored it, got it running perfect, painted it - looking sweet! I then put it on a flat bed truck to show my family and friends. If they want to ride in it, they climb up into the flat bed. = analog film -> digitized.
Really cool to see you embarking on this new (old) journey. I leaned as a kid my first basics on film, did first experiments on film, then digital came. Film has it's beauty / texture that digital has not. With the AI menace invading photography, film will be reborn as the backbone on genuine photography.
When I get unmotivated in shooting, and lost track of artistry..I'll open my open my laptop, watch Pete's Videos, and BAMMM! Motivation Restored!
Damn Pete I feel like you're at an absolute peak in quality.
Not only is the video stunning but your photography and such a raw and authentic feel for the photos.
You're literally living your best life right now. You have a beautiful nee space, you're making art, meeting new people, this is all so beautiful!
I'm so proud of all your growth and I'm really looking forward to seeing this next chapter in your life unfold!
Bless Up 🙏
The funny thing is every coupla years I say this about him - haha.
This is how I shoot with my R6. "Street Photography". I love it. Just Random objects you see. Random buildings. Thats MY personal favorite to shoot.
Shooting film for the first time is like a rights of passage, or going on your first pilgrimage as a digital shooter. I loved watching Peter so excited, it reminded me how I felt returning back to shooting film a few years ago. The scene with Peter nervous in the lab, waiting for the negs to come out of the machine, was like how first time dads are in the Labour ward waiting for their first born… Oh, and babies cost a bomb, just like shooting film… Excellent upload!… 💗
Those few shots at the end were so rich man, love them. This takes me back to my college days shooting roll after roll and developing my own BW in the back room under a red light. Wow these are special, can't wait to see where you go with this mate.
Learning the fundamentals of film is the hardest way.
Each picture on a film is carefully considered a decision. There is a limited number of pictures you can take. Another factor is to get it right and make sure that you don’t mess up the exposure, unless you know how to push or pull the film. Film is great and different. The most exciting feeling in to wait and see the results. It is nice to have a tangible image. This is only the beginning for developing, printing in paper Is another process and is not as easy as editing your pictures in photoshop or any other editing software.
You know when you see a good martial arts movie and in the middle of watching you bust out your moves cause it makes you feel like you can do the same moves but you know in reality you look like a flounder? Thats me right now holding my camera. So good!
I did an A-Level in photography back in 1993 and I can't tell you how satisfying it was to develop my own film and then create prints in the dark room. Nothing replaces that feeling as you watch the picture appear in the red light 😍
Happy to see more of this style of content for you Pete! Love your "original" content / old stuff and this really feels more like that. ❤🔥

Pete,I can’t wait to see your head explode when you shoot medium format. Welcome to the nostalgia. Welcome to the film club
Again? How many videos are you gonna make about you quitting stuff?
never lmfao. this is why im not subscribed to this guy. he sells you only what you want to hear lmfao
@@kennumyet here you are. Watching and commenting. Cracks me up. Think you’re being rebellious and edgy while functioning identically to what you’re rebelling against.
@@coryburns4309and he browsing comments knocks it hahaha
Kudos to C41 making old new again. Your camera curio cabinet is 🔥🔥
Film photography is so expensive tho
He can afford it
True
Expensive also rare in my city. I mean i can't even find a film roll easily. It take few weeks to grab a one roll
bulk load like we always did to save money and numerous places to send it to get it developed.
@@silbay we used to have a place in town who would develop and scan it for us for $15 per roll. And if I'm lucky, I could get it down to $10. Unfortunately, the place just shut down 4 months ago... A bummer 😞
This video took my back in time. As a kid I would look at the photos/slides my dad took over the years. My first photos where taken on his old cameras. When he turned 70 I scanned over 200 photos and made a book for him. Thank you for the trip down memory lane.
An advantage with film photography even in 2023 is that negatives will be around much longer than the digital files have long been lost and forgotten.
It's great to see you enjoy it man - Great to get that vibe back from your videos!
Pete’s videos have evolved so much. They literally look like Hollywood films now. It’s so awesome
An advantage with film photography even in 2023 is that negatives will be around much longer than the digital files that in time have long been long lost and forgotten. Important for precious memories of families and such.
the Tulips one at 6:56 ...chef's kiss. The bright yellow against the black void of space on the upper half, and all the light and texture and detail of the lower half
Thanks. This brought back memories. Worked for a newspaper and started when we shot film. That feelng when you know you just got 2 or 3 more shots and then you dial your skills to 100 because you got to nail it.
Respect for the little Joe Greer shoutout with his book. One of the masters.
I wanted to say Pete you’re a magician, then I remembered yes you are, i am out of words to describe you! You’re amazing dude! I just cant stop watching your “vidz”!
As someone who started on film you have to shoot B&W and then process the prints. Whole other experience and art form watching it come to life. Then get yourself a Fujifilm digital camera. So much fun!
so inspiring and emotional Pete you are the king!
This video makes me so happy. i cant wait to see your "I BOUGHT A MEDIUM FORMAT CAMERA" video!
I cant breath.... wow. This is what we did back in 1975...... waiting for 2 or 3 weeks to see your picture for the first time.... I just love the way you sink into photography. You are a master....
It's crazy how 15-20 years ago we were always on the back pedal and lagging behind with getting the "latest and greatest" in comparison to developed countries. Now we're in the back pedal of bringing back "vintage" hobbies.
i started watchin this like "ughhh im never gonna be into film" by the end im researching which film camera imma buy and start shooting, as always props to pete
you made me start learning and loving digital photography and now you are coming we're i've been for the last two years or so, in the analog world. Beautiful to see you here
I appreciate the sentiment and nostalgia, but given the amount of time I spent shooting film / in darkrooms... never again. Digital is magic - but I still appreciate seeing people explore and enjoy the world of film. It's ideal for new photographers to learn (it forces them to slow down) and seasoned digital photographers to have fun with 🙂
You got me so excited, I actually took my film camera out and took a couple of shots, after years and years of not using it. It still had a roll of film in it! Film will never be dead, I think. It's not just about the photos, it's the entire creative experience and process that makes it special. Thank you for another inspiring video!
Peter,
I bought my first camera the same week you published your first hit tutorial on RUclips more than 6 years ago.
You were probably the first photography tutorial I ever watched on RUclips.
I started my photography journey as you started your RUclips journey.
I learned a ton from you.
After a year or 2, I began to grow apart from your style (but not your character and personality), I was shooting film more and more, and stopped following what you were doing that much.
I guess it's time to go back at it.
Excited for this journey!
I'm in my 70s and to this day one of my favorite aromas remains to be Fixer. Canon QL25, was my beast of choice, and I still get excited every time I see my old negatives. It's in the blood.
Intro felt like a cut scene in black flag. Love the new content man, watched you since day 1 been a wild ride 🔥
In a world we are always looking for the most perfect edge-to-edge sharpest lens, film brings us back to what actually matters in this craft.
“Film is not dead…. We are just too busy to slow down” - Peter McKinnon. That right there needs to be framed
You unlocked me a tons of memories... I worked a lot with these analog developing gears! Thanks a lot!
This is why i'am going back to film, Not because it might be the new trend, It all goes back to the absolute love and gut feel for film.
Love the fact that the guy is rocking the absolutely legendary Leica M6 while making absolutely no fuss about it.
No matter what or when you choose “how” to live.. as long as you live your passion and happiness.. s’all gone be worth it! 🔥
So you.. choosing the mountain life and live like a hermit will make a satisfyingly worthy difference. Live it!!! 🔥🔥🔥
And now I want a film camera. Great shots, Peter!!
it really gave a nostalgic vibe . my father use to show his films back in the days it was so cool
mesmerising video!!
I just love how you put together a video that seems so mundane, yet awesome. Your videos don't get skipped through for the good parts. Thank you!
Digital is what got me into real photography - film - I have desire to ever go back to that period
This is such a cool video. Just to see your pure joy and excitement for photography to the point that Peter McKinnon is nervous and to see him getting tips from friends and see how humble he is. Keep it up Peter! I can’t wait to see what else you shoot. Also best line was “sorry guys it’s my first day”
Slowing down the upload rate did help you! Your videos are now again connecting to me and giving an emotional touch, which we as a viewer wants. Felt so inspiring! thanks pete...
For me this is your most valuable video in a long time. Thank You Pete
Ahh this video hits nostalgia on so many levels. It’s really nice to see this whole process after so many years..🎉
So great to see you shooting film Pete! I’ve shot strictly film for the last 5 years on my Leica M6 and wouldn’t have it any other way. Thanks for helping keep the stoke for the film purists alive!
This all brought back so many memories for me. I used to work for Kodak labs and it's been years since I've even seen someone use film. Great to see it's return 😊
I've watched a lot of your videos over the years, but something about this one....this was the most satisfying watch for me and immediately my favorite video of yours. The blend of learning, vulnerability, and anxiety you created when you didn't know if your skills would transfer mediums...but you took the risk of exposing yourself as a creative fraud (of course we all know you aren't) but achieved validation that, yes, you're good at this no matter the tools you use. and the lessons you learned along the way taught us all a good lesson in return. Thank you for this video.
Loved this - while I'm sure the sound of the medium format shutter never gets old, nor does your childlike enthusiasm and curiosity for all aspects of the craft... inspiring 👐
This is why I shoot Fuji. I love the manual controls and how it forces you to slow down and just enjoy taking photos.
I shot film for years and was fortunate enough to do it as a job running a film development lab and a dark room. It was a blast having the equipment to play with, dodge and burn, play with the develop/stop/fix trays depending on the results i wanted. Washing and drying prints was fun. When digital came along and Photoshop it was like having a full dark room at home. As much as i loved film and the processing, I'd never go back other than for the nestalgia of doing so occasionally.
Imagine walking outside and seeing Pete taking random photos of the inside of your truck 😂 love this dude! Pretty cool to see analog coming back as a reaction to AI and other hyper-digital tools
Film photography ...to me feels like a rewarding therapy
I was anxious and this video just calmed me down. Thank you, Pete❤
The day we've all been waiting for has come!
this is why you are the best. You always create a story on every video its like watching a cinema.❤❤
Welcome Peter! This is why you're still THE KING!
We need more film photography videos like this
easy mistake but 105 on the pentax 67 is concidered a normal lens on 6x7 so something very close to a 50mm not a 70 or 80 mentioned above. Glad to see people keeping the format alive
