I usually shoot all-manual digital (even with some MF adapted lenses). It wasn't really that much of a struggle to switch to analog from a shooting perspective. The only thing that still gets me quite often is that I forget to crank the film advance (I shoot with a mechanical Yashica FX-7). In terms of pictures, I actually feel that I have to adjust the levels of every picture in some way when using digital RAWs. However, I don't have to do anything for my analog ones. There's just something about the films that they made "right". If I think about it, it also makes sense. While there was some (heavy) retouching in some professional settings, typically the result had to be close to perfect right away back then.
As an old timer who shot film for 35 years, this was fun to watch! My first experience with photography was in 4th grade. We made a pinhole camera out of an oatmeal box. I remember my wonder at watching my image appear in the developer.
always seem to come back to this video. vibes are great and the shots are amazing. favorite one would have to be at 14:55. hope to see something from him again.
awesome vid guys, but I just have to say, the AE-1 has a light meter built in. and its super reliable! just was kinda funny watching you guys figure out the settings with an app thats all hahah
@@clautamiralves712 depends on the age of AE1, most of the ones I’ve used are fine and are still reliable, you really need to test the camera with some black and white film to really see if it’s accurate or not
Black and white film and shoot into the sky and on the ground. the AE1 has a spot meter, so the centre of the frame should be a middle grey after developing if it is accurate. the AE1 has a selenium light meter in it, so over time they can degrade, but most should still be ok
I was digging through the old cameras my grandpa gave me years ago and found the AE-1 in a leather case. In the leather case I found a fresh battery and 2 rolls of film ready to go. I’m so excited to use it
You guys are friggin hilarious, would love to go shooting with you with my AE-1, you did an amazing job on the pics and taking us all on your learning journey, thanks so much for sharing! Cat-
Awesome video man! Really enjoyed it! I have my dads old Canon AE-1. He had a roll in the camera. I finished it on a trip to Jackson hole. Which was my first time using a film camera. Haven’t had the guts yet to get them developed or scanned. Loved the video! As I always do. Excited for the next one.
Nice to see a young person experiencing to pleasures and frustration of film and the cameras. Puzzled by use of light meter app when the camera has a very good one. Maybe camera meter doesn’t work?
I liked the AE-1 so much that I got another one. So, on a shoot, one camera had a telephoto lens and the other one had a wide angle just so I wouldn't miss anything.
When shooting at slower shutter speeds it helps to take a breath in and push the shutter button slowly. You did the right thing by trying at 1/30 of a second. Worst thing that can happen is the photo will be blurry. The only way to learn photography is to try different things.

Nice one! I really enjoyed watching this. Great photos too! Working on my own film photography game (plus related YT videos) and this was an inspiring watch. Cheers!
Great video gentlemen! The photos really did turn out well. Curious though, was the in-camera meter on your AE-1 inoperable, or were you just more comfortable with the metering app? You mentioned that you were looking forward to shooting more film. Do you think you will buy your own film camera after this? If so, try some Kodak Gold 200 for a nice retro look, and then maybe some Kodak Ektachorme 100, but be prepared to be humbled a bit with that. Looking forward to more film excursions.
I'm trying to start with film photography as a complete noob. If you had to estimate how many film rolls you had to buy until you became at least halfway decent, how many would you say you've bought?
I'm quite new to film also ,but I've heard numerous times that for hand held photos Try to stay at 1/60 or faster. Any slower you're risking catching hand shake blur
Hey, I’m a little new in the Photoscene and I wanted to shot in 35mm but I am searching for the rights lense for my AV-1 could you help me and maybe recommend a cheap one that fits
Love watching people explore film and learn how the struggle was back in the day, definitely need more.
Yess! The video was so good! Loved the energy! And the shots were dope. We need more of this! 💚

I dig the way you guys are putting the actual image from the film as you take the shots. well done.

Amazing. Chattanooga is a beautiful city. So cool seeing you guys explore my home town.

Hi. I have one bought films but still learning before a go out shooting, I heard that the meter is not accurate is that true? Thanks

Blurring the no trespassing sign is hilarious, great video by the way
I laughed so hard at quite a few of the edits 😂 Great vid bro
Lol thanks for coming along man!
This was great! Loved the banter. Good friends having fun, creating art. Well done!
This was super enjoyable. Thanks so much!!😊
This made me want to pick up my camera again. GREAT video!!
That house was crazy cool. Good shots in there, super fun vid hope to see more film stuff.
Thanks man!

After watching the video I was expecting to see a sub count of at least 300k. The content is definitely at that level. Keep it up.
A couple of crazy guys. Enjoy your analog cameras and film. Welcome to the club.

For some reason, this was such an amusing video to watch! I hope you’ve shot a lot more rolls since this video. The photos look good! ☺️
Some nice shots guys. My Favorit is the one at 14:18.
Fun video and spectacular photos

Yo appreciate it! You should totally get those developed! It’s really fun to finally see what you shot
love this man! Do you mind to share the lab you used to develop & scan the photos? I'm really struggling with the results from my local labs
Loading film for the first is truly a canon event
This was so enjoyable to watch. 💗
Welcome to the fold brother 😎
Love the vibe of this vid! So chill.
Thanks Dave!
Nice to see a young person experiencing to pleasures and frustration of film and the cameras. Puzzled by use of light meter app when the camera has a very good one. Maybe camera meter doesn’t work?
Wow you took some awesome pics there. Thanks for sharing
14:04 god bless the fliping live preview 😁😁
Haha this video was both hilarious and inspiring! More please😍
I liked the AE-1 so much that I got another one. So, on a shoot, one camera had a telephoto lens and the other one had a wide angle just so I wouldn't miss anything.
Great video! Anyone else notice how the “no trespassing” sign was blurred out but you can see it in the reflection 😂
Yup! Came here looking to see if anyone commented about it.
That was dope af!!!!
Thanks Cam!! We have to shoot next time you’re in Nash!
@@ConnorMcCaskill2 you mean when you move back to Cali? Down.
@@cammackey Lol sure
I just got the ae-1 program it’s my first ever camera this video just got me excited about it
Nice photos man! The AE-1 is a beast!
It’s so fun!
The photos is amazing 😊
Can't wait to get my hands on these. Just wondering are the images edited in post? Like are they graded or...
Nice! I just got into film also again after leaving it behind more then a decade ago, excited!

Which lens are you using? Is it the new canon FD 50mm 1.4 lens / or the FD 50mm 1.4 SSC / or the oldest 50mm FL lens?
AWESOME VID. DID THE PHOTOS COME OUT LIKE THIS OR DID YOU TWEAK WORK THEM AFTER SCANNING. THANKS
what app are you using to expose?
The ae1 has auto exposure it should tell you inside the viewfinder what the proper aperture should be for you to expose the picture correctly
I can't find that light meter app ?
I really enjoyed this video. Nice shots.
In the app, I believe you have to set ISO to 400 to get an accurate reading. Good shots though!
Appreciate it! I was reading to set it to 200 instead of 400 ISO in the app because Portra is better at keeping highlights
whats that light meter app again?
Thank you in advance
Tennessee looks lovely! Cheers! -Ryan from Utah
Only driven through Utah, but it seemed like an amazing place! Anywhere particular you’d recommend visiting?

I was just more comfortable using the light meter app. I picked up some Kodak Gold 200 recently, looking forward to trying it!
Kodak Ektachorme 100 FTW! I still have loads. Have loads of slow b/w Iso 25 and 50. Love it.
Great video, what app did you use for metering? Thanks
Fabulous time! Great pictures!
Loved this video! Felt like it was made for me😂
What camera do you used for this video content?
So intriguing and epic :) so super cool :)
Appreciate it!
love! I just bought one and I'm so excited to use it! Question, where can you develop the film?
I'm trying to start with film photography as a complete noob. If you had to estimate how many film rolls you had to buy until you became at least halfway decent, how many would you say you've bought?
Great video man!
I'm quite new to film also ,but I've heard numerous times that for hand held photos Try to stay at 1/60 or faster. Any slower you're risking catching hand shake blur
Stay in line with your focal length. Example, if using a 28mm lens, you can use as slow as 1/30 second. For a 50mm lens, use at least 1/60 second.
Just two bros doing a cute af camera hang
What app are you using on phone for exposure reading?
Cracking video. Just staring to use Portra. Your pics showed just how good Portra is regarding exposure latitude. Cheers!
Which lens did you used?
How accurate is the app, LightmeterPRO?
how to you get the picture after ?
Love the images! What you rate this 400?
8:16 That was pure comedy gold hahahha
What's the app on your phone that you used ?
Enjoyable video.
BTW, a bike painted in white usually means someone on a bike passed on that location. At least that’s how it is in NYC.
Hey, I’m a little new in the Photoscene and I wanted to shot in 35mm but I am searching for the rights lense for my AV-1 could you help me and maybe recommend a cheap one that fits
what apps that you use for seeting the camera?
What type of lens is it?
Which scanner did you use to develop the film?
my lightmeter pro
Sweet name
Hey do you edit your photos?
uve got a greatttt eye
Anyone know the name of that light meter app ?! 👀
I believe that is myLightMeter PRO
What was the app
stunners
You don’t need light meters and you don’t guess either… you got to straight up lean and feel it
you need to set the light meter App ISO the same as your Portra 400 not 200 you re One stop back
🤩
Great video lol
dude you should start a youtube channel
no trespassing sign.. lets just blur it out lmfao
"im not that athletic.." "theres a door" "uhh.." *turned out im not athletic and quite smart too LMAO
