I admire how you're always investing yourself in learning more about the films, and doing shoot just for the experience. I know you've built up a lot of personal experience already, and you make everything look smooth and easy, although I'm sure it takes a lot of work behind the scenes. I love what you captured here, and as always the video is awesome :D
Man, your winters look amazing 😂 I really like the blue tones when using Cinestill 800t during sunny days too, and I think it really fits your style of portraits so well! Like, it gives off this airy, chill and nonchalant vibes. Love the use of the shadows as textures at 7:57 😊 as always, amazing work!
I love your photos, even the Ektar ones that you didn't seem that into, and I love the Getty! One time I went, a few years back, and I took a Hasselblad 500CM that I borrowed from a friend, my Leica M6 AND a Nikon F!. I was carrying all 3. I think I had black and white and color in the two 35mm cameras, but I'm glad i'm not the only weirdo carrying around a bunch of cameras..lol Dunno what I was thinking, but it was a fun time. You've also made me want to give 50D a try. I may have to pick up a roll next time I go to the store, assuming it's in stock.
Could be, I went back to the lab and showed them the film they also said it might happen during processing, but they can’t be sure what exactly went wrong～
For some reason I kinda feel like taking photos outside on CineStill 800T and push-processing it +3 stops, but at the same time I'm not sure I can justify it with all the short and dreary days I have at this time of year where I live and the cost of the film
This is definitely not a cheap film to shoot with, I love Cinestill but since I haven’t tried Portra800 yet, and there are some other brand that also makes 800T films I would like to try and see if there are cheaper alternatives 🥹~
Yeah.. I’m already carrying so many stuff on me every time I go out take photos and shoot video by myself, adding a stabilizer would make the video look better.. but it’s too much to manage 😹
I love the Getty Center, and how it was designed with light in mind (the travertine marble). Also, are you liking 35MPro? I just started using them and drop off usually once per week for developing and scans.
35m is my go to lab. Their turn around time is really fast, since I often need the film done for my videos some time the next day.. the only thing is they don’t do push or pull process, if I need push or pull I’ll have to go to other labs~
I'd say the marks on the 120 roll are from the developing/drying of the film. I've sometimes had similar artefacts when water has been squeegeed off the film unevenly just as it comes out of the tank. Try running it through the stabilizer again and letting it fully air dry, might get rid of them. If not I could see it being an imperfection from the manufacturing process, cinestill has famously bad quality control with this kind of thing. Regardless, they are incredible shots! Really inspiring me to try out portraits
Also maybe a monopod would be a good compromise for when its getting darker? When the light is fading I find myself rushing to take shots and a tripod can really slow me down. But a monopod with a quick release plate can easily give you an extra 2-3 stops slower without camera shake. Super useful and so much quicker than a tripod if you just need the extra bit of stability
I don’t have stabilizer at home, might have too get some and try it~ the lab also said it might be Cinestill’s bad quality.. anyway thank you for the feed back☺️

“Just pretend I’m a tourist!!” I always thought that before I go places like this 😂
Really enjoying your channel Sam! 🙌 And it's so nice that your video pace and vibe is calm and creative (not intense like many in this genre) 😊
Thank you Mick ☺️
There is no substitute for 800T. My favourite film in the world by a mile!
I keep hearing people say shoot Kodak500T, I just have to try it and see for myself~
Love how you edit those ektar 100 shots
thank you :)
I love the 800T in day light pics!
the color is quite unique isn’t it!!
Lovely sunny day so+so much better than Toronto snowy day already 😭
Ahhhhh I want to photograph SNOW so bad, there is no snow in LA 🥹 hahaha I guess you can’t get it all!!
Amazing clntent and channel, dont stop make more videos.
Thank you 😊
Love the work as always
Thank you ☺️
Could the white lines on the 120 Roll be some mishap that happened during development of film???
Could be, I went back to the lab and showed them the film they also said it might happen during processing, but they can’t be sure what exactly went wrong～
Have you pushed 50d to 100 in another video? Thank you
cinestill 800 is soo good
and 50d😁
honestly i loved the photos you said were underexposed!
Thank you.. it dose look more like it’s shot on film 🤓

Did you shoot the vlog yourself using the A7 III without any stabilizer?
Yeah.. I’m already carrying so many stuff on me every time I go out take photos and shoot video by myself, adding a stabilizer would make the video look better.. but it’s too much to manage 😹
I love the Getty Center, and how it was designed with light in mind (the travertine marble). Also, are you liking 35MPro? I just started using them and drop off usually once per week for developing and scans.

HA who needs a try pod, just bring a tomato can and have he rlay on the ground lol. Great video.
Some times I thought if I start to practice Yoga would I be more steady as a human tripod 🤔😂
Could I ask you about the iso you chose for the 800T roll? Did you set it at 800?
It’s been a long while I don’t remember specifically, but I definitely over exposed it~
Nice video

@@oliverthompson8525 I just start to use my mono pod for my hasselblad, it dose help!!
Your scratches on the negatives might be from debris and dust collecting inside the Pentax's shutter.
Hey where do you get your photo printed if you do
I haven’t done any prints yet~
強烈建議嘗試未除碳的500T！
安排～
i want to shoot because of this. hehe
Go go go!!
