Wow thank you for the compliment! Glad you found the video useful! One of my favorite things about photography is I feel like I’m always learning or relearning. It’s an endlessly interesting art form.
Great video! It’s funny, I’ve shot so much film in an urban night settings that I don’t even calculate for reciprocity failure. BTW I love the 6x9! I have an earlier 70’s Fuji GM670-the 67 camera with removable lens along with my late dad’s Nikon F2 he bought new in 1972🙏🏼
Haha yeah I think it can become second nature. Sometimes I’m slow and meticulous especially with slide film but with color negative I tend to shoot a little looser. Oh nice! How is that camera? I’ve thought about getting the 6x9 version with removable lenses but have heard it’s very heavy. The GW690 is pretty light for that large of a negative compared to say a Pentax 67 or RB67. Thanks for watching!
@@NathanTrimbach it weighs almost 1800 grams and while it’s an AMAZING camera, for the lens to be removed the dark slide has to be shut. The dark slide is kind of the Achilles heel of those cameras, the can malfunction easily. So I remove the lens from it VERY sparingly-only when I fly lol!
I feel the longer I watch youtube videos about photography, the more I come across videos/channels (i.e. this one) that are very helpful along the way!
Hey Nathan, love the video! I see you shoot a lot of transparencies and thinking you should do a video on modern slide films. Did see that you've got a video or two referencing slide film but I think more slide info would be great! It's not very common to use and I think a lot of people are kind of afraid of it (in addition to the increased costs). Provia 100f seems to be in danger of being discontinued (or maybe is - can't seem to find a definitive answer) so you need to do your part to save E100 lol. No pressure.....
Hey Irvin! You read my mind! I have been thinking of making a series on each slide film I've shot and my experiences. TBH I was kinda afraid of slide film too when I first started but once I understood the limitations and see how beautiful it looks when it comes out I got hooked. (I'm also worried about Provia being discontinued too, I haven't been able to get any new Provia or Velvia for months).
Thank you for subscribing and the kind comment! Oh nice I'm a fan of those who shoot large format though I haven't tried myself yet. What do you shoot on with your medium format cameras?
This is an excellent video and I think I learned a fair bit from it, so I feel a little bad about making a negative comment but hopefully the comment can help make the next one even better. There were two things that really bugged me, the little oversights that were unnecessarily distracting. The D in DSLR stands for digital, that is just an SLR, this was distracting for the error but also just left me thinking I misunderstood. The cursor on the photos and graphics, really drags my eye away from the subject. The glitch at 19 is unfortunate but it was breif and didn't really distract me from the point the way the others did.
Hey thanks for watching the video and I'm glad you learned some things! Yeah I totally hear you on a few of those mistakes. I started talking about getting my first DSLR at the beginning before getting back into film and it's just a bad habit calling the N80 a DSLR so thanks for the call out! I know I caught the cursor after the upload too. I keep catching little things I'm working on as I create these videos so I hope to keep polishing / ironing them out. Anyhow I do appreciate the feedback and hope it didn't distract too much. Cheers!
Yeah....focusing on the XA is not easy especially at night. The rangefinder patch isn't super bright. The cheat code is to set it to the focus on the orange 8 and the aperture at orange f5.6 (if it's light enough). That should get most things in focus (unless close up). TBH I ended up selling my Olympus XA to get the Olympus XA2. It uses 3 scale focus settings and ends up being a much simpler camera to use rather than constant fiddling around. Overall, a camera with more controls is going to be best for night.
Hope you enjoyed this video on shooting film at night. Let me know if you have any questions or want to see more videos on tips or showing me shooting film at night on location. (Also, whoops about my editing mess up at 19:00! My zoom in effect didn't render 😬)
Bro, this video was fire!!!
Thanks man! I appreciate you
My man you just don’t miss. This channel is a treasure.
Oh wow thank you so much for the high praise! I appreciate you
I'm already an experienced photo taker, but what a great video. I watched the whole thing and learned quite a bit.

Great to see a fellow Minneapolis photog! Great video
Great to see love from Minnesota! Thanks for watching
man, this is great, dude.
Thank you! That means a lot!
It's me :)
Strong ambiance in the photos!!
Thanks for watching Pierre! I appreciate your POV
Thank you for actually explaining your methodology, which not all 'shooting at night' videos does in-depth!
For sure! Glad I could help. I try to be as detailed as I can so if someone is interested and new to it they have a good base of knowledge to try.

Cool vid but not sure why you keep calling your Nikon N80 a DSLR. The D stands for Digital
Yeah that’s my bad! Meant to just say SLR. Thanks for watching!
Yep the DLSR thing threw me too!
@carlrichards5250 sorry! I’ll for sure be more careful next time. Hope you enjoyed!
@@NathanTrimbach yes I did enjoy and am
now subscribed!
Love your images!
Thank you so much! :)
great video man.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it
Fuckin knocked this topic outta the park. 👌👌
I’ve just discovered your wonderful channel and subscribed from Northern Spain 5x4 and Medium Format shooter.
Thank you for subscribing and the kind comment! Oh nice I'm a fan of those who shoot large format though I haven't tried myself yet. What do you shoot on with your medium format cameras?
Fantastic tutorial.
Glad you liked it!
Great Video. Very Informative. Thank you for doing this.

Nice! Thanks. But something wrong with "DSLR 35mm Film" ;-)
Haha yeah....I'll never make that mistake again. Thanks for watching!
How do you focus your XA? I always struggle with it because it’s very difficult to see.
