My fiancé surprised me with a cool, vintage film camera, a Nikon FE with a Nikkor 28mm Ai-s lens! I haven't shot 35mm since I was a kid, and never with a manual focus camera. Let's take a look at the first two rolls of film I took with my new/old camera. I got them developed and scanned at thedarkroom.com

the photo @ 18:03 is PERFECT !
Listening to you talk about the various things you need to manage in taking quality Photos reminds me a little of the work I do with my Espresso Machine. All the various aspects you need to manage in order to get the Quality you want often involves a lot of trial and error, tweaking small things, adjusting this or that. And you get to start ALL over when you change Beans (in your case Film or Lens etc). I feel like you are progressing the same way I do.. by feel, by use, more than "I must make sure every aspect of this is Technically correct."
It does sound similar! It can definitely be fun to get lost in the process.
Bradley, not bad. I know nothing about photography, but my good friend of almost 50 years was really into it, and was actually pretty good. I'm going to send him the link to this and see what he has to say. Stick with it!
Cheers! These were definitely just to see how (and if) the camera worked. Composition was pretty bad. Once I get more comfortable with the camera and manual focusing and all that good stuff, I should be getting some more keepers.
Good starting point and upward from there. Enjoy the goodness of Film Photography.
Thanks, man!
Nice one! Really lookin' forward to more fotography stuff
I think it's taking nice pictures. The colors look very nice. You'll get the hang of that very good camera. Good job!
I hope so!
🎵 Like blue wave, over the ocean🎵

Enjoyed the camera content. It is fun to go back to old school slow down and wait photography. Makes you think about what you are doing more.
Definitely.
Nice video! Adapting vintage glass to digital is a rabbit hole. My lens cabinet is getting a little crowded
Little known FE tip: In auto mode, shutter speeds will actually reach 1/4000 if the camera deems it necessary.
I've heard that! And that it will do VERY long automatic exposures in very low light.
The photos are looking good, man! I’ve shot 35mm and 120 still film, along with 8mm and 16mm movie film, for years. Super fun and very different approach to image making.
Great shot of the deli lady! And I love the cows and Olive. I have not even unpacked all my digital camera gear from my move 2 years ago. My phone takes such good pictures . . . and I'm lazy. But I admire anyone who goes old school with technology!
It's definitely less convenient (and more expensive) to use film, but it's definitely engaging.
Wow, that takes me back to my early days in photography. Had an old Yashica? rangefinder, and I had a lot of fun with it. Great pics, keep at it! I may get back to using something other than my phone.
Cheers!
Good luck on the film journey, I’ve picked back up on photography and I’m currently using a minolta maxxum 7000. Greetings from OHIO.
Hey man! Can you do some tobacco tier lists with tier maker? Would be interesting to see your S class VaPers and English blends and whatnot.
Would be an easy way to see if our tastes align. Just an idea!
Good work! Fair warning: You're gonna get a bunch of old dudes mansplaining to you about how to shoot film. I'll try not to be one of them, but: Developing B&W film at home is super easy and cheap, and you can get far higher quality images using a macro lens on your mirrorless to digitize the negatives. Also, good thought on the Nikkor > Canon adapter. That lens has given me a bit of trouble on Sony sensors, but I reckon that's because of Sony's over-engineered filter stack on the sensor. It's an amazing lens on film.
Thanks for watching! I've definitely looked into developing and scanning at home. I might try to delve into that in the future.
Hey Bradley! Long time viewer, first time commenter: that first photo you showed of the guy with the lighter was perfect exposure for film! With digital, it makes sense to slightly underexpose and correct in post to preserve detail in your highlights. With film it’s the opposite: you want to air on the side of overexposure and dial it back in post. These are great exposures for your first 2 rolls! I’d love to know which film stocks you used for each roll
Thanks for watching! Kodak UltraMax 400 for the color and Kodak Tri-X 400 for the B&W. I was using the light meter in the camera for my exposures. The Tri-X was pushed one stop as well.
Very good for your first few rolls! Some keepers in this definitely!
One of my go-to’s is Ilford HP5+ pushed two stops to 1600. You get a really grainy, dirty image from doing that but I really like the look of it and being able to shoot with a stop less of light is really useful. If you want to be moody, that’s my suggestion for you!
Also great idea to practice zone focusing on digital so you can just burn through frames without spending money… I’m looking at a digital camera so I can do that with shutter drag and what not
Thanks! I have a roll of HP5 in my camera right now. Shooting it pushed one stop at the moment, but I plan to try two stops too.
Good Evening 😊 Thanks for the chat and sharing 👏🏼👏🏼 Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
Thanks for watching!
Nice job for your first rolls!
On your zone focusing are you using hyper focal distance? Great for aperture priority.
Keep at it!
28mm should give you a nice wide DOF.
I think so. Haha. Still getting the hang of all of that, but I bought an adaptor so I can use my manual Nikon lens on my Canon digital camera for practice.
A lot of these are actually well exposed. I definitely struggled with exposure early on and for a little bit I had some gross images because they were insanely overexposed. I actually mostly shoot Kodak Tri-X, Colorplus and Ektachrome 100 (E100) slide film. Its definitely worth experimenting with different film stocks. Remember that more pro films might require different development processes and some labs might not take it but thats mostly slide film and you'd probably better off to send it to a professional lab anyways to get the most out of it but that requires quite a bit of money and I definitely emptied my bank balance on slide film.
Cheers! Yep, I still have a lot to learn about film, but it's a fun process!
old school when you had to know what you were doing to get a photo with out editing a photo to much in the dark room. now. point and shoot and take it to the computer. ugh! nice job sir!
Yep. Trying to get it right the first time is part of the fun.
B&W is just so good, it's all I shoot out of my film
Yeah, you've got to crop the photos better than that.
Foe example, with the deli lady, cut ✂️ out the roof from the picture.
Other pictures need some sense of motion to the people who are moving, so increase the time it takes to take the picture to get some blur to their moving parts.
You got to work out what object is going to be the subject of the photo.
Then tell a visual story with it.
Each brand has their own trademark colours.
The colours taken by cannon brand is unique and famous.
The Nikon brand chooses futuristic colours that have even shading gradient and bright intense light tones.
Work out what you're going to do with the unique set of colours from each of the brands.
I you want the guy on the street to be the main part of the image then fuzz the whole background.
It's no good freezing cars that are in motion.
Have the wheels display spinning motion.
In the playstation game gran tourismo you get to photograph 📸 your cars and driving.
You could spend hours photographing stuff for free to get your skills up in ability.
You have a long way to go.
Years of learning.
I thought a lot of these photos look really cool. I especially like the photo of Jeannie.
Glad you like them!
Try over exposing a full stop over what your light meter recommends. A lot of time the green tint is from underexposed negs that are being pushed by the scanner algorithm
Hey Bradley, long time subscriber. Great camera you have there! Good film choices too. The latest video on my channel has some examples of pushed HP5 if you're interested. If you ever want to talk shop let me know.
Thanks!
Do you mean you got the camera from your ex fiance? Did you guys make-up?
He made this video before they broke up.
Ahh. Thanks.
You should have used Kodachrome. It gives those nice bright colors. Gives us the greens of summers. Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day! 🌞☀️🌤️🌈
If only they still made it!
