I like ONE Nickelback song ok? OK!? It's "Someday" but for the love of god don't watch the music video! It's like when you come to Japan you will do Karaoke and if you select this song in the machine you wont know if it's one of those generic music videos for (insert rock band) or if it's specifically made for the song. BUT for some reason I like the song. This is not a proud moment for me.
@@AlexOnStreets i think i can resist watching the nickelback music video.... just like that. 😆 For karaoke, the songs are certainly quite good. 😆 I liked the fact that a game developer once called his project Nickelback to make sure that no one investigates. 😂 But yes everyone has certainly a "favorite" NIckelback song.
Well, it never, ever looked anything at all like that when I used it some 20 years ago. I still liked it, but what the hell did you do to make it look that good? Do you develop it yourself? And no, I've never ever looked any Nickelback song. I remember thinking that at least their guitar sound was really good, for about twenty days until they annoyed me so much that I completely stopped listening to any pop-rock music at all for several years.
@@Herfinnur maybe 20 years ago it could be a different film stock. Like the portra 400 we have now didn't exist 20 years ago. 😄 I meteres for the shadows and give it a extra stop of light. the rest is post processing with negative lab pro and a bit of a white balance change. nothing a good lab couldn't do. ✌Haha yeah that's probably the biggest problem with Nickelback. They have been played so many times that you just don't like them anymore for that reason.
I love that your generation thinks buying 57 rolls is out of the ordinary. Buy all you can find and empty all the shelves. It will help send the message to film manufactures to keep making film. In my 20's and 30's I would buy around 400 rolls of 36 for a trip to another country. I still have a freezer dedicated to film and buy film by the brick even though I shoot 80 percent digital. Keep film alive! Buy lots and shoot more!
People even got mad at me in the comments for buying that amount of film. 😅 400Rolls. 😳 That's insane. A film chest that will definitely be on my wish list. 😄 i'm doing my best to convince as many people as possible about film. as you said well, only through sales do you show the companies that film is still alive.
Love the summer vibe of this video! And of course, I do think you've perfected the art of post-processing Kodak gold! I could've mistaken them for Portra 400. Really great tones there ❤
thanks Bon 😀 yes ichb in too stingy me portra to buy therefore have the cheapest film I can get moved to look like portra. 😅 your lomo pictures also look really like portra. they say that the color lomos are old kodak gold emulsions.
So I just found your channel through YT's algorithm and I'm so fucking pleased I did. You bring hilarious, refreshing content to the film community (: Binge-ing all your stuff, keep it up!
Thank you for your feedback. I’m happy you love the aesthetic. I think the creamy and gentle look with lifted shadows is very attractive. It adds a warm and retro feel to the photos.
Yes, I was going to comment that your Gold photos were the most unsaturated, pastel colors that I have ever seen come out of Gold especially in sunlight. It was designed as a film targeted to a saturated blue and yellow/gold look in bright sunlight. So, it was interesting to hear that you have a processing technique that in essence desaturates the normal look the film was designed for. It would interesting to hear how your processing does this.
The first step is to overexpose Gold and meter for the shadows. Then i just scan it with my Fujifilm camera at +1. When i convert it with negative lab pro it just looks like you described. saturated blues and gold colors all over the place. Then i just crank up the exposure. I will explain everything in a future tutorial series. 😄
I started shooting film when I was 11. (1981) Tried many different brands of film and processing labs. Of all the combinations of film and prints I used Kodak film printed on Kodak paper is the most accurate. It looks as good as the day it was printed (some is 35 years old ). None of those prints have shifted colour over time.
wow 1981. it's been a while. then you certainly have a ton of experience. That prints remain color-stable over such periods of time is amazing. This is a testament to the quality. 👌
I’m mainly a black and white guy, but I shoot colour occasionally. Usually I only shoot expensive film (ektar or slide) but after watching this video, I’ve ordered three rolls to use in my F2. Look forward to the colour post processing video.
I don't shoot Kodak anymore, but this is one of the most underrated films out there. The locations were awesome, that retro mall had some serious stranger things vibes, but in german lol. Wish I had a set like that here to shoot some film and videos!
Aprreciate your comment Ivan, yeah the mall felt really strange without people. Normally you couldn't find something like this anymore here in germany. It would definitely be a cool video location ! 😃
Stranger things is all that was going through my mind. But all of these pics were awesome. I have a few rolls of Kodak gold that I’m excited to go out shooting with.
@@pajamaman4832 Ha yeah, I was really happy about the location because I really like stranger things. 😄 have fun with your roles gold. Give the film a lot of light then the tones will be creamy.
Every once in a while I take a trip from The Netherlands to Germany to buy... Kodak Gold. My last trip was 3 weeks ago and it was widely available but when i check out the availability on the website it looks like not a single store in Germany has any Gold stock? Do you think it's coming back? I am a bit scared that DM will stop having this 3pack and film in general in their assortment and that would sadden me for real. Or, at least for these great prices. I know there was a worldwide price increase and 10 euro a pack is still a steal of a deal but.. it was only 7,50 last year so seeing the availability in red everywhere makes me... a bit nervous to be honest.
The film is guaranteed to come back! Kodak does not permanently produce a film stock but rather one after the other. Now only the current batch is bought up and you have to wait until the next one is sent to germany again. As for price stability, it can be difficult. Rossmann has drastically increased its prices the same can happen in the DM. So when gold is available again grab as many as you can. 😄
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel I really hope they restock. As of right now they took out the gold from their website. As said, i really hope they continue to carry gold for a kind price :)
What a lovely video man! Glad the X5 info was useful haha, hoping to revisit that scenario soon once I'm brave enough to deal with the trolls that came out of hiding to comment on the original video lol! That mall you visited was suuper rad btw dang I'd go wild in a scene like that ahah, long live Kodak Gold!
Oh hey William, thank you! Your video just made me realize what piece I was missing in my post process puzzle. I can imagine that your video has triggered many people. 😅 Yes I should have taken many more pictures in this mall. maybe I will visit it again. thank you for your comment. ✌
Pretty sure the first roll of film I ever shot that I remember shooting was Kodak gold... In a lomography camera. It was alright but I never thought too much about it. If I had seen this video 6 years ago. Well.
That your first roll was kodak gold is pretty cool.😮 no one in my family was into photography when i was a kid. The only camera i can remember that has film was a mickey mouse camera i got from mcdonals. 😆
I have a couple questions. Did you meter these shots at 100 iso? Did you develop or a lab? Not a question, but can’t wait to see your editing process for these.
Hi Antnie. Based on the images I would say they were exposed at EI100. Also, I would err towards over exposing by one stop and developing at box speed 200.
Hey Antnie, aristo was right. meteres für ISO 200 and exposed for the shadows. Its just to make shure that all the shadows have detail. Lab developed nothing fancy. the rest i will explain in the tutorials.
Loved the video, but I honestly thought that the title of this video at first glance was - I bought a 57 Rolls, as in Rolls Royce, and asked my self what that had to do with Kodak film. And then I re-read the title, and here we are.
Currently in Germany for at least the next month and a half. Looks like I’m about to hit up the nearest drug store and load up on film. I have a roll of Gold 200 I’m waiting on development. I’m super excited now.
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel almost...actually I'm from Großwelsbach (near LSZ) but lived quite a while in Erfurt/Weimar. Quite cool to see there are more RUclipsrs out there from this area. Especially people who still shooting film and know their shit. I'll be in July/August in Erfurt this year for music reason...let's have a beer then someday. Cheers ;)
I also had my issues with the film at first but giving the film another chance was kind of a game changer and I'm not ashamed to say that I rather shoot some Gold or Ultramax instead of Portra. 😂
You certainly have sparked my interest in this film and buying it in bulk. Great images and your commentary is so pleasant and informative. Congratulations and thank you.
thank you aristo that was too kind. 😄 I bought this quantity because I know what to expect. try the film leiber in peace before you fill your entire fridge. 😄
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel Thanks. I buy my film stock from a film stockist in Melbourne Australia, I live in Sydney. Their film selection and rates are great. Thanks again for your great work.
Not a Nickelback fan but definitely a Kodak Gold fan and now a fan of yours too! Very informative and fun channel to come across whilst browsing RUclips. I am a Scottish guy based in Hannover, Germany. Be cool to organise a photowalk if ever in the area. Take care!
hehe thanks ross. glad I've found a new fan. 😀 times a Photwalk in eienr city organize would actually times a good idea. allerdigns maybe only if I have a few more subs and also enough people then get together. 😀
Thank you for the tip, although I was one of the first who could test SantaColor before the official release to support the crowdfunding campaign. I even have a video of it. :D"
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel I have no ideas either. I'm assuming more photographers are into film photography in the U.S., so they can't restock fast enough and drive up the cost. Can't get Kodak Gold 200 and Portra 400 anywhere. Amazon sells 3 rolls of Kodak Gold 200 for $42, which is insane.
I can see why its the cheapest in your country, don't you folks get a lot of cloudy days over there? This little film shines with sunlight. If im not shooting Portra its Gold200, and then rarely Colorplus200. Great pics.
Thanks daniel, Yes we have of course very often cloudy skies in Germany. However, more in the fall the summers are usually quite dry. I have tried gold from time to time in cloudy condition but I really don't like the look. 😄 thanks for watching
Dude, how am I first seeing your channel now. I feel like you’ve commented on so many of my vids and I never realized you had a channel. This is my first video I’ve seen of yours and I love it. I’m gonna be binging all week! Epic photos. I love how you’ve used Kodak gold. I need to try some more of it. I’m inspired.
ah hey thanks tony, good to see you around. 😄 I've been commenting on your videos since before I even had this name and channel. So have been a fan of your channel for a very long time. 👌 I'm also glad you like my videos! I actually only use gold as a portra replacement. 😅
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel Rad! I just used that Peter Crosby song in my last video. I heard it in yours and loved it. I was digging the 80s jams too. I need to expand my playlist off Epidemic.
If you don't use up all those films, trow them in the deep freeze. So you can end up like me, having all kind of untouched, almost fresh, interesting films from the 90's, early 2000's and some even from late 80's ! Now fun aside, I've used Kodak Gold in those times too. But it feels kinda differently than your photos, and I can't decide is the difference it in your editing or the film itself is somewhat different. And a side note: sometimes, when you move or pan, your GoPro video footage almost falls apart. Just saying... Gruß
Yes I bought a great kodak bag in my flea market video. there are now all the films in the freezer waiting for their turn. 😄 I think the emulsion shouldn't be that much different but my editing of the film is already heavily customized to my style. I've even noticed that with the gopro. is probably a problem of the bitrate in the action cam itself, but I can not change. 24fps is probably not helpful but I like the look. 😄 thanks for commenting.
the dynamic range is actually not that great. if you underexpose then goodbye shadow details. As you say, though, you can get a portra similar palette in gold. thanks for watching. 😄
Glad you like it! The colors really turned out beautifully. And to answer your question, the camera is a Olympus 35RD. It's a nice little rangefinder camera.
I still love kodak gold, but it's gone from £4 a roll to nearly £9 a roll locally, which is nearly the price of portra. Lemme know when they come out with 120 kodak gold though and I'll spend twice that 😆
I used to be $2-$3 per roll in the US but not anymore... I would like to shoot Colorplus instead because it's very similar but without the warm cast which is not ideal for indoor or shaded photos for my taste. I prefer C200 more and actually I never got any of the muddy browns or weird color shift in the shadows. I shot +1/3 to +1 EV using exposure comp on my Olympic OM2n and sent it to a legendary film lab in southern US. I couldn't believe how much better my C200 scans looked than more than half of the samples I saw before shooting it. Either they exposed incorrectly or their lab doesn't handle it as well. These scans are BEAUTIFUL. It doesn't even look like a cheap film
Yes for interiors and plants I would imemr reach for colorplus. There the yellow tone of gold is disturbing. I have really photographed a lot of C200. I just don't buy it anymore because the price is also higher than gold. 😄 I agree with you c200 looks fantastic.
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel c200 is more expensive here now than before but it's still not too bad. Its $4-$5. It used to be like a dollar less when I started shooting it. Drug stores here are ridiculous though. Someone wanted $29.99 for a 3 pack of Fuji color 200, $19.99 for one roll of superia 400, $39.99 for the 3 pack of Fuji 400, And $25.99 did a disposable camera! 😱
Such lovely colors and beautiful compositions! Kodak Gold has some nice creamy colors. I actually have two rolls of Kodak Gold at my disposal but unfortunately, I don’t have a film camera, planning to get one next month. The locations are so pretty especially the retro mall, it would be cool to shoot at a place like that. 6:41 shot was my favorite!
Thank you Rashik 😃 Oh nice that you have two rolls. Just a quick reminder to give the film a lot of light otherwise you won't get creamy colors. Haha, yeah that mall was pretty crazy. 😃 I just should have shot some more pictures there.
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChanneldo you think I can pull this to 100iso? Im looking for an alternative to silbersalz but can’t find anyone who has done it!
Is nice return to film, is great because one is in the obligation to send to develop the film for see the photo that's important because in digital era a photo stored in cellphone or memory card is useless unless is sent to print it and sometimes digital image sensors aren't enough for get a higher dynamic range . I will test sooner with a Ektachrome film.
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel LOL thanks bro !! I look forward to your next video , I really do like when you and your wife are both out that you post the photos from each of you ! Great to see a couples different perspective
Thanks Chris 😀 yes the tutorial will be coming soon. the music was actually just a piece of music i found at epidemic. "what we didn't do -particle house" i think you can find it on youtube too.
I cant wait for the tutorial on how you made your photos look like that please make it soon haha im new to photography as well and your photos in these shots are my favourite so far out of all the kodak gold photos i’ve seen :)
thank you much too kind. 😄 the tutorial will be detailed so you will definitely achieve similar results. I'm working on it right now but it may take a few more weeks.
oh damn vladimir, i would never buy kodak gold for this price. you can get the look well with any other color negative film. just buy what is well available and "cheap". 😀
hey, yes ISO 100 and metered or the shadows. no pushing or pulling. the rest is post processing magic. 😄 just kidding i just raised the exposure and made some adjustments.
Nice shots! Beautiful colours. I can see why you bought a truckload of Kodak gold, reminds me of my childhood, loading film was such a cool thing to do as a kid. It felt like an important job that dad gave me 😅. Wondering if you’re going to do a comparison of these shots vs a film recipe one of your Fuji camera’s!
thank you jeoffrey. Yes I love that vintage touch that gold has. I bet it reminds you of your childhood since gold was one of the best selling films back then. good idea with the comparison. maybe i will make additional presets for lightroom to dme recipe to achieve certain film looks. 😀
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel would be awesome to find or create a recipe that resembles your Kodak gold shots. Maybe with another quiz for us viewers to see whether we can actually tell the difference 😎
Also, I wanted to recommend. I'm not sure if you're using one or not since I know you like the brighter exposure, but I think a polarizer for the video would cut out a lot of the harsh highlights reflecting off of everything in these beautiful sunny places. Even the poor doggy is getting blown out 😢
Hey, JP its filmed with an action cam and yes this is a problem but i don't know if there are any polarizers out there for the osmo action. 🤔 i'll have a look into it.
hey, ich wohne auch in Thüringen aber seit Monaten sind die Kodak Gold Filme ausverkauft, mittlerweile kaufe ich sie für 10€ pro stück.. ich bin aber am umherschauen wo ich noch welche bekomme..wo genau warst du denn einkaufen? in erfurt? LG Silvi
Oh hallo, vor ungefähr einer Woche wurde Erfurt und Weimar beliefert aber alles ist immer nach genau einen Tag ausverkauft. 😅 I Moment ist Schmalkalden der einzige Ort mit Kodak Gold. Du kannst aber selber mal bei dm schauen. Dort unten ist eine Lupe wo man den Ort wählen kann. www.dm.de/kodak-200-color-negativ-film-135-36-3-filme-a-36-bilder-p41771880804.html Ruf dann einfach im DM an und reservier ein paar.
Looks great! How much of that is processing? I always see great Portra photos for example, but every time I try Portra 400 it looks pretty bad, but if it comes down to editing then I suppose any of them would look good
oh hey, i think with any film it's always the post processing that determines the end result. to me, films are just raw material that you can edit the way you want. That means also a portra can look "bad" or gold can look like portra. First of all, the exposure of the film must be correct. Under-exposure rarely looks good. then it also depends on how you scan the images. there you really only have to get the white balance and brightness right. if you get portra scans from the lab and they don't look good, i would change labs. Otherwise I will make a detailed tutorial in the future how to get good results. 😀
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel Thanks! I’ve been struggling a bit philosophically with film tones etc haha, it feels like you might as well just use one stock with decent dynamic range and tweak it like digital
@@slothsarecool from the philosophy i say i do not touch the colors only WB and tones. so the original character remains. I don't do anything with the film that a lab couldn't do. Portra looks different for every photographer. it's just that at some point it was agreed that this bright style is portra. What I want to say. do with the film what you like.
oh hey, die Abdeckugn ist ganz einfach ein billige plastik Blitzschuhabdeckung von Amazon. Ich hab es einfach mit einen Cutter zurechtgeschnitten. 😅 hatte keine Lust irgendwas teures zu kaufen. Ja einfach eine Blende überbelichten und nach den Schatten belichten. 😀
all my small DM prints are in a box. maybe i'll make a big collage picture out of them for an exhibition. otherwise it's enough for me to show my pictures on my youtube channel. 😄

Hey, love the videos! I would love to see how you scan 35mm and 120 Film.
thanks rich, i am in the process of making the tutorial.😄
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel turning on the post notifications 🤙🏽
Pretty sure the first roll of film I ever shot that I remember shooting was Kodak gold... In a lomography camera. It was alright but I never thought too much about it. If I had seen this video 6 years ago. Well.
That your first roll was kodak gold is pretty cool.😮 no one in my family was into photography when i was a kid. The only camera i can remember that has film was a mickey mouse camera i got from mcdonals. 😆
I have a couple questions.
Did you meter these shots at 100 iso?
Did you develop or a lab?
Not a question, but can’t wait to see your editing process for these.
Hi Antnie. Based on the images I would say they were exposed at EI100. Also, I would err towards over exposing by one stop and developing at box speed 200.
Hey Antnie, aristo was right. meteres für ISO 200 and exposed for the shadows. Its just to make shure that all the shadows have detail. Lab developed nothing fancy. the rest i will explain in the tutorials.
Loved the video, but I honestly thought that the title of this video at first glance was - I bought a 57 Rolls, as in Rolls Royce, and asked my self what that had to do with Kodak film. And then I re-read the title, and here we are.
thanks clarhett 😀 but I find great that you still found my video interesting despite the missing rolls roys 😄
Currently in Germany for at least the next month and a half. Looks like I’m about to hit up the nearest drug store and load up on film. I have a roll of Gold 200 I’m waiting on development. I’m super excited now.
oh hey mario, i don't think buying gold will be that easy. Gold is usually sold out everywhere. 😅
Great video! I did not buy 57 rolls but managed to get 12 rolls from the local drugstore in one go. Now I have to go and photograph 📷😎
oh hey monsoon nice that is already a good amount of film. Have fun with it and thanks for watching. 😀
3 years after : a three pack of kodak gold is 30€ in France
Oh shit. The three-pack costs 18€ here now. Maybe worth a trip to Germany. :D
never understood the disrespect for Kodak Gold, best bang for you buck imo! Cheaper film stock with beautiful results. Loved the images!!!!
thanks, yeah i think because it is a cheaper stock people assume it's a bad film and it's definately not! thanks for your comment. 😄
Great video, also big fan of the Williams's !
Thank you, Willems channel is also one of my favorites!
Very Nice video! Keep up the good work! Lovely Dog 🙂
Thanks a bunch for tuning in! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the video and even spotted my adorable furry sidekick. :D
Kodak Gold is my main 35mm film. It’s cheap and has more colour and contrast than Portra.
yes, that's right. i don't even find the colors that different when the contrast and saturation values are similar. thanks for watching. 🙌
Did some research on the Kodak Gold and find you taking pictures in Langensalza :D Funny small world.
"The world is always a little smaller than you think."
I assume you are from Bad Langensalza?
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel almost...actually I'm from Großwelsbach (near LSZ) but lived quite a while in Erfurt/Weimar. Quite cool to see there are more RUclipsrs out there from this area. Especially people who still shooting film and know their shit. I'll be in July/August in Erfurt this year for music reason...let's have a beer then someday. Cheers ;)
I don't shoot much with kodak gold but with the results i really need to try the film stock again.
Thanks for watching, please do it. Kodak gold is really versatile. ✌
I also had my issues with the film at first but giving the film another chance was kind of a game changer and I'm not ashamed to say that I rather shoot some Gold or Ultramax instead of Portra. 😂
@@dreamarchist Haha, yeah exactly. Gold and Ultramax are soo good that you really don't need Portra to get a nice look. 😄
You certainly have sparked my interest in this film and buying it in bulk. Great images and your commentary is so pleasant and informative. Congratulations and thank you.
thank you aristo that was too kind. 😄 I bought this quantity because I know what to expect. try the film leiber in peace before you fill your entire fridge. 😄
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel Thanks. I buy my film stock from a film stockist in Melbourne Australia, I live in Sydney. Their film selection and rates are great. Thanks again for your great work.
Between Gold and ColorPlus, I just stock up on whichever one is the cheapest at the time.
hey, since the two are really similar I would do the same. 😀
That’s exactly what I’m doing lol
Not a Nickelback fan but definitely a Kodak Gold fan and now a fan of yours too! Very informative and fun channel to come across whilst browsing RUclips.
I am a Scottish guy based in Hannover, Germany.
Be cool to organise a photowalk if ever in the area.
Take care!
hehe thanks ross. glad I've found a new fan. 😀 times a Photwalk in eienr city organize would actually times a good idea. allerdigns maybe only if I have a few more subs and also enough people then get together. 😀
Superb, GrenMa! I did not like it in the past, too yellowish but now..... you convinced my buyin' it!
Thank you Kristijan 😄🙏 yeah the yellow tint is always there but you can. Control it pretty well.
Difficult to choose a favorite, I absolutely love Germany, they're all great!
If you love this film as I do you should also try aerocolour iv, its available from a few distributors as santa color, or elektra 100
Thank you for the tip, although I was one of the first who could test SantaColor before the official release to support the crowdfunding campaign. I even have a video of it. :D"
There is a great film store in Berlin with a huge selection, but I do admit I'm a big fan of Kodak Gold too
Sometimes the cheapest film available does its job as well as the expensive ones. 😃 thanks for watching.
In poland they cost 90PLN/3pcs which is like €6.50 per roll, time to trip to germany I guess (only 200km)
Hehe yeah but make sure to check the dm website there you can see if kodak gold ist available. 😀
You got such nice shots out of this film stock 👌🏽
Thank you, i try to get the portra look with every cheap film stock. ✌
Absolutely love the video and your photos. It's January 2022 in the U.S., and it costs $25 for 3 rolls of Kodak Gold 200. So expensive.
thank you! oh wow that's really expensive. i'm surprised that in the USA where the film comes from the price is usually the highest. 🤔
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel I have no ideas either. I'm assuming more photographers are into film photography in the U.S., so they can't restock fast enough and drive up the cost. Can't get Kodak Gold 200 and Portra 400 anywhere. Amazon sells 3 rolls of Kodak Gold 200 for $42, which is insane.
I can see why its the cheapest in your country, don't you folks get a lot of cloudy days over there?
This little film shines with sunlight. If im not shooting Portra its Gold200, and then rarely Colorplus200. Great pics.
Thanks daniel, Yes we have of course very often cloudy skies in Germany. However, more in the fall the summers are usually quite dry. I have tried gold from time to time in cloudy condition but I really don't like the look. 😄 thanks for watching
Dude, how am I first seeing your channel now. I feel like you’ve commented on so many of my vids and I never realized you had a channel. This is my first video I’ve seen of yours and I love it. I’m gonna be binging all week! Epic photos. I love how you’ve used Kodak gold. I need to try some more of it. I’m inspired.
ah hey thanks tony, good to see you around. 😄 I've been commenting on your videos since before I even had this name and channel. So have been a fan of your channel for a very long time. 👌 I'm also glad you like my videos! I actually only use gold as a portra replacement. 😅
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel Rad! I just used that Peter Crosby song in my last video. I heard it in yours and loved it. I was digging the 80s jams too. I need to expand my playlist off Epidemic.
Lustige Namensähnlichkeit. In Wuppertal gab es 1915-2003 Foto Gonnermann mit Filmmuseum.
If you don't use up all those films, trow them in the deep freeze. So you can end up like me, having all kind of untouched, almost fresh, interesting films from the 90's, early 2000's and some even from late 80's !
Now fun aside, I've used Kodak Gold in those times too. But it feels kinda differently than your photos, and I can't decide is the difference it in your editing or the film itself is somewhat different.
And a side note: sometimes, when you move or pan, your GoPro video footage almost falls apart. Just saying...
Gruß
Yes I bought a great kodak bag in my flea market video. there are now all the films in the freezer waiting for their turn. 😄
I think the emulsion shouldn't be that much different but my editing of the film is already heavily customized to my style.
I've even noticed that with the gopro. is probably a problem of the bitrate in the action cam itself, but I can not change. 24fps is probably not helpful but I like the look. 😄 thanks for commenting.
aayyyyeeee shoutout to the olympus rangefinder family
🙌 olympus gear 😂 the camera is actually really good for its size.
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel oh for sure! I have a 35rc and I love that little beast
Always thought gold lacks in dynamic range but maybe i should just measure for shadow. Really nice edit btw. Making them golds look like Portra! XD
the dynamic range is actually not that great. if you underexpose then goodbye shadow details. As you say, though, you can get a portra similar palette in gold. thanks for watching. 😄
in my country 57x k.gold cost more than twice of minimum wage :(
oh wow 😮 film photography today has indeed become a luxury. the difference, however, is fierce. 😣
Kodak Gold is GOLD
Definitely! 😆
Gorgeous photos, beautiful dog and your commentary is so funny. Think I'll have to subscribe, I'm hooked.
Love to hear thatt om,😀 thanks for the support!
How nice, beautiful colors, can you say again what was first camera did you use Olympus what.? Thank you 😉
Glad you like it! The colors really turned out beautifully. And to answer your question, the camera is a Olympus 35RD. It's a nice little rangefinder camera.
Your shots are soo good! Here’s a feedback… could you match the volume of your background music to your commentary voice in the future. 😊
Thanks for the tip, the other videos are not so bad mixed. However, it was already too late when I noticed it with these.
kodak gold and ultramax deserve more than they usually get - on 120 the 'equivalent' for me is the Lomo 400
Yeah its always about Portra but these two film stock can compete if used right. 👌 Lomo 400 is really a good option für 120.
I still love kodak gold, but it's gone from £4 a roll to nearly £9 a roll locally, which is nearly the price of portra.
Lemme know when they come out with 120 kodak gold though and I'll spend twice that 😆
damn thats expensive. Gold is good but only for a cheap price. 😅 120 Gold would be interesting but only when it cost less than portra.
I live in Germany and the price has exploded here as well. A year ago the pack of three was around 8€ - now its 18!
I used to be $2-$3 per roll in the US but not anymore... I would like to shoot Colorplus instead because it's very similar but without the warm cast which is not ideal for indoor or shaded photos for my taste. I prefer C200 more and actually I never got any of the muddy browns or weird color shift in the shadows. I shot +1/3 to +1 EV using exposure comp on my Olympic OM2n and sent it to a legendary film lab in southern US. I couldn't believe how much better my C200 scans looked than more than half of the samples I saw before shooting it. Either they exposed incorrectly or their lab doesn't handle it as well. These scans are BEAUTIFUL. It doesn't even look like a cheap film
Yes for interiors and plants I would imemr reach for colorplus. There the yellow tone of gold is disturbing. I have really photographed a lot of C200. I just don't buy it anymore because the price is also higher than gold. 😄 I agree with you c200 looks fantastic.
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel c200 is more expensive here now than before but it's still not too bad. Its $4-$5. It used to be like a dollar less when I started shooting it. Drug stores here are ridiculous though. Someone wanted $29.99 for a 3 pack of Fuji color 200, $19.99 for one roll of superia 400, $39.99 for the 3 pack of Fuji 400, And $25.99 did a disposable camera! 😱
Wow, gold I can also imagine well for my model shoots. thank you.
oh yeah skin colors look really good with Gold. 😀
Such lovely colors and beautiful compositions! Kodak Gold has some nice creamy colors. I actually have two rolls of Kodak Gold at my disposal but unfortunately, I don’t have a film camera, planning to get one next month. The locations are so pretty especially the retro mall, it would be cool to shoot at a place like that. 6:41 shot was my favorite!
Thank you Rashik 😃 Oh nice that you have two rolls. Just a quick reminder to give the film a lot of light otherwise you won't get creamy colors. Haha, yeah that mall was pretty crazy. 😃 I just should have shot some more pictures there.
Its a great film, what camera did you get? How have you been finding it?
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChanneldo you think I can pull this to 100iso? Im looking for an alternative to silbersalz but can’t find anyone who has done it!
Garden gnomes for the win!!!
My first time on here! Really appreciate your channel so far. I have subscribed! :)
Cheers from Canada!
Love to hear that Gaetan, thanks for the support! 😀
Is nice return to film, is great because one is in the obligation to send to develop the film for see the photo that's important because in digital era a photo stored in cellphone or memory card is useless unless is sent to print it and sometimes digital image sensors aren't enough for get a higher dynamic range . I will test sooner with a Ektachrome film.
You're totally right. love to get prints from my rolls of film. 😃 thanks for your comment.
This should be titled. ‘There is a worldwide shortage of Kodak gold. This is why’ 😉
😄 yes, fortunately Fuji has introduced their new 200 film which is also simply Kodak Gold. 😄
I used to shoot weddings with Gold 200 and 400. 200 is my favourite though. Nice video and images.
Thanks simon, I would also like to photograph a wedding with Gold 200. Would certainly look fantastic. 😮
What an awesome video my friend !!! You and your wife both got amazing shots !!!
way too kind. 😄 my wife is always happy when someone likes her photos.
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel I love black and white and I love shooting gold and color plus so this video was a huge home run for me ! Lol
@@laddie115 Hehe very good. Speaks for the fact that you have good taste. 😆
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel LOL thanks bro !! I look forward to your next video , I really do like when you and your wife are both out that you post the photos from each of you ! Great to see a couples different perspective
Great video! A single roll of Kodak Gold costs $10 (€6.3) in Australia!
Thanks Aaron, at 6€ it becomes more difficult to justify going for gold. 😄
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel Hi, at 6€ what film would you choose?
@@lazarj Oh i don't know the prices where you live. For 6€ in Germany you can get C200 or colorplus and both are great.
Excellent work. Those scans look so good and Gold really rocks
Thanks Joe, Gold ist pretty nice. 👌
The Nickelback comment is absolute truth lol
Hehe yes I also found it absolutely spot on. 😂
Your videos are always so relaxing. Looking forward to your processing video. What was the music that was with the mall? It was awesome
Thanks Chris 😀 yes the tutorial will be coming soon. the music was actually just a piece of music i found at epidemic. "what we didn't do -particle house" i think you can find it on youtube too.
Achso, deswegen gibts kein Gold mehr bei DM... danke dafür 😂
Aber tolles Video :)
Please do post that tutorial! ❤️
yeah i'am on it. 👍
this video was so good i cant wait to watch your others :) subscribed!
thanks a lot ryan. appreciate you watching and subscribing. 👌
I cant wait for the tutorial on how you made your photos look like that please make it soon haha im new to photography as well and your photos in these shots are my favourite so far out of all the kodak gold photos i’ve seen :)
thank you much too kind. 😄 the tutorial will be detailed so you will definitely achieve similar results. I'm working on it right now but it may take a few more weeks.
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel Im excited! Thank you so much!!
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel how far are you with the tutorials😍
Wonderful video!! God I love 80s and Early 90s styling
Thank you Reimann, it was a happy accident that we found that 80s building. 😀
We have a roll of Kodak gold for a 12 EUR :( pack of 3 is about 35 EUR, and it is quite difficult to find :(
oh damn vladimir, i would never buy kodak gold for this price. you can get the look well with any other color negative film. just buy what is well available and "cheap". 😀
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel Well, that is the main issue here! Kodak gold is the cheapest colour film we have. :(
Very Nice, Please Try with Ultra Max 400
Thanks, I once shot with Ultramax and it worked just as well. But now Ultramax costs as much as Portra. 😅
The kodak Gold 200 was metered for ISO 100 but developed at the box speed? I read a comment below and wanted to make sure I got this correct
hey, yes ISO 100 and metered or the shadows. no pushing or pulling. the rest is post processing magic. 😄 just kidding i just raised the exposure and made some adjustments.
Nice shots! Beautiful colours. I can see why you bought a truckload of Kodak gold, reminds me of my childhood, loading film was such a cool thing to do as a kid. It felt like an important job that dad gave me 😅. Wondering if you’re going to do a comparison of these shots vs a film recipe one of your Fuji camera’s!
thank you jeoffrey. Yes I love that vintage touch that gold has. I bet it reminds you of your childhood since gold was one of the best selling films back then. good idea with the comparison. maybe i will make additional presets for lightroom to dme recipe to achieve certain film looks. 😀
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel would be awesome to find or create a recipe that resembles your Kodak gold shots. Maybe with another quiz for us viewers to see whether we can actually tell the difference 😎
Also, I wanted to recommend. I'm not sure if you're using one or not since I know you like the brighter exposure, but I think a polarizer for the video would cut out a lot of the harsh highlights reflecting off of everything in these beautiful sunny places. Even the poor doggy is getting blown out 😢
Hey, JP its filmed with an action cam and yes this is a problem but i don't know if there are any polarizers out there for the osmo action. 🤔 i'll have a look into it.
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel I think they make clip on ones!
You shoot the gold one step over exposed? or normaly weel exposed? NICE SHOOTS MEN 🙏🏼✨
Thanks Daniel, one over and exposed for the shadows. that's the whole trick. 😄
it's like.. 24 euros for a pack of 3 at a local store here in France. WHY FRANCE? WHY?!
hehe, it's not just a french problem. 😄
What a steal! I don't shoot film but it's definitely much more expensive here 😢
yeah i'am lucky that the german drugstores have a special deal with kodak. with all of your night photograohy you should try out cinestill. 😄
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel oh eventually! Looking for a good deal on a film body 😄
I bought 9 rolls of gold today for 12€ per 3 rolls. It was such a deal in todays price range
That's right usually nowadays you get only one roll for 12€. 😅
Jetzt weiß ich endlich, warum ich bei DM keine Kodak Gold mehr finde.
Das Video ist jetzt 2 Jahre alt. Wenn es einen Grund gibt dann bin ich jedenfalls raus. :D
10 euro for a three-pack of Kodak Gold 200... Nowadays I can find it only at about 3-4 times that price... :/
yes, the prices have really risen sharply. Even fuji is now buying kodak gold and rebranding it as new film (no joke) :D
Perhaps a good opportunity to create your own Kodak Gold Fujifilm Recipe, since you'll have lots of reference material to work with. :)
Haha, yeah right. but i think this look can only be ahieved with a recipe and preset together. but good idea. 😄
Bought a years supply. One month later........ back to the shop!!
Hehe, yeah something like that. 😆 thanks for watching!
Great Video. I look forward to see your post processing technique in a future video :)
thanks, it will take some weeks but iam on it. ✌
Love this concept🌟
thank you sophie. ✌
hey, ich wohne auch in Thüringen aber seit Monaten sind die Kodak Gold Filme ausverkauft, mittlerweile kaufe ich sie für 10€ pro stück..
ich bin aber am umherschauen wo ich noch welche bekomme..wo genau warst du denn einkaufen? in erfurt?
LG Silvi
Oh hallo, vor ungefähr einer Woche wurde Erfurt und Weimar beliefert aber alles ist immer nach genau einen Tag ausverkauft. 😅 I Moment ist Schmalkalden der einzige Ort mit Kodak Gold. Du kannst aber selber mal bei dm schauen. Dort unten ist eine Lupe wo man den Ort wählen kann. www.dm.de/kodak-200-color-negativ-film-135-36-3-filme-a-36-bilder-p41771880804.html Ruf dann einfach im DM an und reservier ein paar.
Great video man,its really inspiring, you've definitely got a new sub
Thanks for the support Jared, too kind. 😄
Looks great! How much of that is processing? I always see great Portra photos for example, but every time I try Portra 400 it looks pretty bad, but if it comes down to editing then I suppose any of them would look good
oh hey, i think with any film it's always the post processing that determines the end result. to me, films are just raw material that you can edit the way you want.
That means also a portra can look "bad" or gold can look like portra.
First of all, the exposure of the film must be correct. Under-exposure rarely looks good. then it also depends on how you scan the images. there you really only have to get the white balance and brightness right. if you get portra scans from the lab and they don't look good, i would change labs. Otherwise I will make a detailed tutorial in the future how to get good results. 😀
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel Thanks! I’ve been struggling a bit philosophically with film tones etc haha, it feels like you might as well just use one stock with decent dynamic range and tweak it like digital
@@slothsarecool from the philosophy i say i do not touch the colors only WB and tones. so the original character remains. I don't do anything with the film that a lab couldn't do. Portra looks different for every photographer. it's just that at some point it was agreed that this bright style is portra. What I want to say. do with the film what you like.
Hey! Darf ich fragen, woher du die Abdeckung für die M6 hast? Da wo oben der Blitz drauf kann. Und überbelichtest du dein Film 1 Stop?:) Also ISO 100?
oh hey, die Abdeckugn ist ganz einfach ein billige plastik Blitzschuhabdeckung von Amazon. Ich hab es einfach mit einen Cutter zurechtgeschnitten. 😅 hatte keine Lust irgendwas teures zu kaufen. Ja einfach eine Blende überbelichten und nach den Schatten belichten. 😀
@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel Ah okay cool, gut zu wissen! Danke:)
So -- what do you do with all those prints of parts of Buildings -- do you put them onto 'Photo Forums' or not show them ?
all my small DM prints are in a box. maybe i'll make a big collage picture out of them for an exhibition. otherwise it's enough for me to show my pictures on my youtube channel. 😄
