Film Photography at Golden Hour | Olympus Pen EE2 + Kodak Gold 200
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Some film photography at golden hour. All photos shot on the Olympus Pen EE2 which is a 35mm half-frame camera using Kodak Gold 200. One of my favorite camera and film combinations, and works surprisingly well at sunrise and sunset. Kodak Portra 400 is a great film stock for these conditions, but sometimes a cheaper film like Kodak Gold 200 does the job just as well. Plenty more Melbourne photography videos coming soon, so stay tuned for those. Filmed on the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k (bmpcc 4k).

Yoo thanks so much man! My boi Anthony Taranto actually edited this one, was a lot of fun to make though. Cheers for the love!
Dude - the B-roll with the bmpcc4k is a huge step up! So cinematic. Loved the film shots too. Video had such a relaxing vibe overall. Nice work!
Thanks so much Trent! Wish I actually owned one haha but we were able to borrow one from uni. Ideally going to shoot these on location videos using this setup more often. So glad you enjoyed man, cheers!
Loved the vibe of this video Ben, and the photos captured. The video work was nice too, great camera, enjoyed the Broll of the lovely post-golden hour scenery. Thanks for sharing ✌️
Hey thanks so much Rauri! Was so nice being able to get outside and make images now that covid is under control down here. Have a great weekend man!
stunning visuals my friend. Thoroughly enjoyed the video!
Thanks so much Thomas! Hope you’re doing well bro 🙌🏼

Great cinematic feel to your footage. Love the shot at 2:21 👍
Thanks so much Robert! Really appreciate it :)
I could never shoot a half frame camera. It already takes me forever to finish a 36 roll, lol.
Haha so true, it honestly took me 8 months to finish this roll - so ridiculous. Thanks for the comment!
As soon as I saw that opening clip I was like yo that has to be a blackmagic haha. Such nice footage man, love the cinematic approach to this video! Amazing photos too!
Hahah man thank you, means a tonne. Yeah idk what it is, bm just has such a distinct look, guess it's the raw maybe. So glad you enjoyed, cheers!
meu deus esse vídeo me deu uma paz tão grande, cabei de ganhar a minha igual a essa. 🖤🇧🇷
Estou tão feliz em ouvir que, muito obrigado por assistir!
*Gorgeous photos obviously but also very impressed by the videography!*
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed
Beautiful stuff here.
Thanks so much Edward!
Killer b-roll, Ben, and some beautiful light! I have a little Konica C35 and you're making me want to take it out and feed some film through it-I look forward to making the time to go out and shoot for fun when I get the chance. Also, really enjoyed the diptych presentation of images at the end, can't wait to see your next video!
Thanks so much Eric! Was so nice getting outside and catching the sunset. Haha that’s an awesome camera man, a friend of mine just picked one up too. Ah cheers man, that was actually an idea of another friend so it was a joint effort hahah. Appreciate the comment man, have a good one. Cheers!
Great video Ben, definitely liked the location shoot! What a beautiful park that looks like overlooking the city in the distance. Even though you had cloudless skies, looked like you had amazing light! Great images. Loved how a lot of your shots had 3/4 sky. Great contrast to your subject. Looks like a great little point and shoot camera, and double the exposures is a bonus! Loved the self portraits too! Hope you made doing well and stay safe!
Hey thanks so much Paul! Yeah same here, they're so much more fun than just doing an at-home video haha...glad covid is under control here once again. This spot gets the most amazing sunsets sometimes so had to make a video on it. I do apologise however, haven't had a chance to watch your recent uploads, been such a crazy week, but I'll get to them over the weekend! Thanks so much for watching Paul, have a good one. Cheers!
@@bendroege no apologies necessary, I appreciate your support as always! Thanks Ben!

Great Vlog Ben, really enjoyed this. The music, video, photos and overall vibe were perfect. Love the grading as well, awesome work all around man. The shot around 2 20 really stood out to me! Set at the end was great too, pretty sweet little camera.
Thanks so much Paul! Yeah it’s such a cool little camera to just throw in the pocket and take photos without thinking too hard. So glad you enjoyed! Planning on catching up on your recent videos over the weekend, been a hectic week 🥵. Appreciate the support as always Paul, have a good one. Cheers!

Thanks so much Oliver! I really appreciate it man, cheers!
what a great work dude🙌 sick haha✨
Thanks so much!
Nice filmic video you need to bump the sound level up. It didn't come over well on my tablet. 🙂
Thanks Andrew! Yeah it’s a little soft, got some new mics so will be better in the future. Cheers!
great video man
Thanks bro!
Sick video bro
Thanks so much Michael!
Awesome video man, and great to see you out and about. The shots are sick, and love the look this camera produces! Might be a daft question, but why were all the shots in portrait?
Hey thanks so much Kieran! Was so great getting outside and making images, been such a long time haha. Ah the reason for that is because it’s a half frame camera, it’s natural orientation on the negative and viewfinder is in portrait, so I tend to just shoot it like that as it feels more true to the camera if that makes sense haha. Thanks for the comment man, have a great weekend!
Dope as intro brother i see you improving fast hahah so damn good
Haha thanks so much bro, really appreciate it!
I bought one of these in the summer and finished my first roll like a couple months ago. Took so long to finish haha. And I messed the roll up somehow. Everything came back fucked. But I shall try again. I really enjoyed trying to shoot and make interesting diptychs
Hahah legit, it takes ages to finish a roll. Oh man, that sucks, maybe the light meter is on the way out? Or could just be the film even, defs give it another go. Yeah diptychs are so much fun, such a unique way of making photos. Thanks so much for watching man, and for the comment too. Cheers!
@@bendroege hoping it’s not the light meter! I had so much fun shooting and composing. If the next couple rolls turn out shit I’ll def look into another one. You may have inspired me to come out of hibernation and post another vid soon haha. Take care bro!
Yeah man, just see how it goes and worst case can always pick another one up for a decent price. Haha that's awesome bro, can't wait to see your future videos. Have a great weekend man, cheers!
great video!! where do you get your music from?
Thank you! I was using Musicbed
Love the shots !, wish i know you when you were in Bali so i can come and shoot with you. are you using auto on every shots ?
Thank you!
Hi, can you share some tips when working with flash on this camera? thank you a lot
Good question...to be honest I've only used flash a little bit. Just make sure you set you aperture to a flash setting, and match it on the flash and youll get a good exposure. It's really about experimenting. I normally find f16 always works though
Hi, I'm new to film photography and I recently bought an Olympus Pen EE2, any advise on how I can fully maximise its usage and the best films to use? Thank you! ✨.
Hey Bea! That's awesome, honestly with a camera as unique as this one it's all really about experimentation. I tend to just use cheaper film like kodak gold as sometimes the photos can be a bit hit and miss due to it having such a small lens and sensor. Black and white is also very very cool, and something I want to try more of in the future to. So I guess just try whatever you can get your hands on and you can't go wrong :)
Interesting camera, I was browsing ebay recently as I have a small collection of old film cameras and there's still some real bargains to be had. The film however I see has got much more expensive than the last time I bought any (about 2-3 years ago) I thought the colour tones were great for shots that you took with it, did you do much in post or is that how it came out on the negatives? The mic was a bit quiet but I'm sure you know that.
Thanks so much Rob! Absolutely, there’s still a lot of great cameras that are very affordable, just have to find the right deal. Haha yeah unfortunately the prices are going up again which is so annoying, but I guess that’s inevitable. Ah cheers, I normally do a fair bit of post production, but this time all I did was drop the contrast and it was looking good. I think because it was sunset, the colours were already looking good. Ah yeah the mic was a shot gun mic haha which definitely wasn’t ideal, but I just bought some LAVs so next time it will be much better. Thanks for much for your support Rob, it’s always super appreciated. Cheers!
When you use Kodak 400, what setting did you use? The camera only has up to 200 iso
Hey Vy! That’s interesting as mine does go up to 400...but nevertheless if yours only goes to 200 then that’s fine as it will be +1 over exposed which is ideal for that stock anyways. With that said I wouldnt use a stock that has ISO 800 or more though
Great video 🌻 what lens do you use on the bmpcc4k ?
Thank you! We used Canon 24-70 2.8 L with a 1/4 promist
have you tried it with flash?
Sure have...it’s in this video :)
What do you use to edit the video with the photos on screen ? Looks great
Thank you! We used Davinci Resolve, but it can be done on any program. All you need is to do is put a black photo or colour matte on the timeline and drag your photos on
lapel mic next time haha I have my studio speakers turned up and you are very very quiet.
Yesssir bought one the next day after recording this 😍
What is your camera settings? I also have the same olympus pen ee2 and I’m still experimenting.
Hey Gab! I just set my ASA/ISO to the film stock I'm using so normally 200 and let the camera do the rest. Quick tip...don't use a film higher than 800 ISO as the meter is capped at 400
@@bendroege oh nice i see, thank you 😊 😘
Did u overexpose the film or did u shoot at box speed?
Hey Paul! Yes sure did. Rated it at 100 ISO so +1 exp. Thanks for watching!
did u use auto or manual setting for those shoot?
All auto! I just set the ISO...when it got darker tho I had to use manual overide and set it to f3.5
Where r you from in Australia
Great video man! Wish I could’ve subbed twice to get ya to 1k :)
Haha thanks so much Brian! Really appreciate the support man, cheers!
