Ed, this video is really unique in that you talk detailed about the relationship and conversation with the model, without any "gear-talk" (well, the choice of the gear used for the session helps a lot in that regard:). I also liked that you show all the images of the roll. Very inspiring! Thank you - and of course, her - for this one. By the way, I also bought an FE some months ago, still waiting to be tried out.
I recently traded my Minolta X700 for a Nikon FE as I am more familiar with that as I already own a FE2. After shooting with the FE and it's limitation with the shutter speed of 1/1000 of a second I find that by having those limitations teaches me that I need wait for either better lighting or stop down to get the speeds I want when shooting with the FE. Great looking visuals my friend! One of these days I will make it to New York! Hahaha!
I love my Nikon FE2 that I first thought was cheap and not all that great! Now that I have shot a few rolls and how easy to shoot it. My love for it has grown because it is light and easy to use for any level of photographer.
nice video and since I'm looking for a Nikon FE or FM, FM2 etc I had to watch it. Actually I expected it to be a tech review but it was more artsy, I enjoyed it. My favorite shots are of the playground slide profile shot and the looking down to the trash can and just casting her glance upward toward the camera. Thanks,
I really like photography and I love videos like this one. Thank you the photo by photo discussion was very soothing and inviting like a hot cup of soup on a cold winter's day. subscribed :)
I started with the film cameras back in the mid 70's using Nikon F, FM, FE, F2AS all with motor drives, lens ranged from 10mm fisheye to 300mm f/4. I truly miss those days as I also processed my own film and printed the results for the entertainment industry that I worked in Hollywood for 20 years. my favorite portrait lens was the 105mm f/4 Nikon had the best lens in my opinion. However, now I work with Canon DSLR and they do a great job also. I still have my film gear in the event I want to go back to shooting with it. Just have to find a decent processing house that can deliver digital files from the processing. Yep miss those film days...
hey ed verosky this video really shows how you are more comfortable in portrait photography really specially digging black and white pictures just love this.
Hey Ed, great video - just "rescued" an FE I recently found at a flea market. I cleaned it up and have mounted that exact lens on it. Can't wait to get out and shoot a few rolls through it.
Love the shots, enjoyed the video, she is a good subject with a beautiful profile, have the same camera with a 85mm 1.4f lens, this camera still takes fantastic pictures, I would not get rid of this combination. Thanks again.
Thoroughly enjoyable watch... I still have several film slrs and still use them. One thing I love about 35mm slrs is the wonderful viewfinder view compared with the average DSLR. I use a Nikon D40 which I like a lot but when I use the Nikon FG20 35mm slr the viewfinder image is so much better... it's inspiring, so much more light and much bigger image. Makes me want to shoot film all the time. Very helpful video, thanks
I love the walk-through style of this video, and that you explained each picture. I also appreciate that it is of a professional quality. I am just getting into shooting 35mm film and I would really appreciate a video with even more in depth technical information on your technical choices with your ISO, F/, Shutter speed and light usage. Maybe even with a minute devoted to your experience with different film types. Just an idea, again I loved the video.
Ed, locking the exposure and then playing with the aperture while still locked is pretty cool as well... (exposure lock is pushing the timer lever inward and holding it till exposure made - just in case you haven't used that feature) Fantastic vid... anymore with you FE, yet?
Ah, good tip! I am already planning to do some new shoots/videos with this camera. I love using it. I started out with a Minolta XG-7 when I was really young. So, I think that has something to do with why I love the feel of FE and similar cameras.
Hello Ed, great video. I particularly liked how you developed a rapport with your model. I have my old film cameras (Nikon FE2 & FM) and have not used them in years. Just curious to know the digital file format that you processed these shots in Lightroom?
There is a point of diminishing return with sharpness/resolution levels wherein it no longer looks like how we see with the naked eye. Sure we have a higher dynamic range in our vision than film does but pictures shot on digital at high resolution in HDR mode goes way beyond what we deem to look natural.
It depends a lot on the film speed, type, and exposure. And even then, it's hard to see grain in smaller prints. Generally, faster films display more grain. Certain films, like Tri-X are grainy, especially when pushed to faster speeds (1600 and over). Underexposing can help, too. Finally, the way you develop film can create a more grainy look. Short answer: If you're using something like color negative film, just underexpose it by a stop or two.

Really enjoyed your discussion on every shot. It's awesome to understand your thoughts behind each picture. Thanks!
Thank you! I appreciate that.

+Jon Miller -- my first was a Minolta XG-7. Good times.

+street photo hunt - thanks. And yes, I prefer photographing people more than anything else.

Thanks, Johnny. Thankfully, people are getting hip to the fact that film isn't just a Millenials novelty; it's serious for people like us.
i was cleaning my pops fe last night then saw this video, i might take it out on the weekend and shoot :)
Enjoyable, many thanks.
Thanks
Great shoot! 🙌🏼 Could I ask what settings you used? F stop etc!?
Glad to see that you took some shots on a film camera :) great stuff. I love film photography :)

Thanks, Lee. And that's a great suggestion. I'm going to see about doing something like that.
great shots!💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

yes, somehow these film cameras keep bringing back the joy of "working for the image" :) love your channel. catch you at next post!
beautiful work love the way you worked together
Thanks, Richard!
Hello Ed, great video. I particularly liked how you developed a rapport with your model. I have my old film cameras (Nikon FE2 & FM) and have not used them in years. Just curious to know the digital file format that you processed these shots in Lightroom?
In this case, I had these developed by a local lab. They gave me prints and a CD-ROM with high-res jpgs. I imported those into Lightroom.
I have the FM Awesome cameras and always a pleasure to use :-) Crackin vid by the way :-)
+Iain Hamilton-Cummings - I love those cameras. Thanks!

I know a lot of people like how crisp the photos are, but any way to guarantee a more grainy effect?

Wow thanks for the quick reply :)
Sure. Here's a video I made about it: ruclips.net/video/xmJvdxntRwk/видео.html
i've found Kodak Portra 400 to be 'grainy' enough ..or go for the B&W 800 - super grainy
