I'm loving these videos, they're so different from everything else on youtube. Keep it up! I especially liked the portrait of the man with the flowers and the photo of all the vertical lines with the man standing in the doorway. Also, you could try just flipping the video 180 degrees in post production, so that you don't end up with the issue of having to look at your photos upside down. Another thing is that I've never seen T-Max or Tri-X come out so contrasty! I mostly shoot Ilford stocks as I'm from Europe and that's cheaper here, but still. I suspect it's something to do with how the lab is printing your shots. I suspect that they scan the negatives, invert them, and then print digitally, which is probably how that one of the balloon slipped through as a negative.
Thank you so much! Yeah I think next time I will record the other way around. I thought that might feel strange for viewers but you’re right, it would be much easier. Re: the contrast, I have some theories about it but I’m not sure. You might be right. It also could be they way they developed it… or maybe the camera is underexposing and they compensated for it in the scans… I like the effect but yeah. Need to find out how to reproduce it consistently. In a different city now - so we’ll see what things look like from a different lab!
Film is addictive, but it’s a fun rabbit hole to dive into. I agree that both sets are very contrasty if they’re shot at box speed? I push most of my HP5 by 2 stops ( ISO 1600) and it’s not as contrasty as these, though I’m also a fan of the effect. Interested to see what way you go with film so added my sub. For me I hadn’t shot film for 20 years and was fully committed to my digital workflow but now, not so sure…!
@@garywebb5912 Thanks for the sub Gary! I’m in Arequipa and enrolled in a class which has me shooting digital mostly right now - so I have some other videos planned in the meantime but there will be more film videos in the future. Agree with you about the contrast- I think perhaps something the lab was doing with their B&W development- color negative rolls have come out as expected.
I've always been a fan of contrasty t-max. great pictures once again! I enjoy these videos sitting down looking through the photos with you. I also like that you are looking at them for the first time in this one it reminds me of going through a new roll with my friends
That’s awesome - great feedback, thank you Caleb! I never really had that experience of looking through a new roll with friends, so I guess I’m getting that vicariously now.

I enjoyed this. Definitely different from everything else on youtube. Pretty brave to go through every picture on the roll.
Thank you! I might have to revisit this roll one day, I'll probably wonder what I was thinking when I made this video!
Trabajo impecable maravilloso rollo en blanco y negro ame cada una de tus elecciones de fotos gracias por darnos a conocer tan excelente trabajo
Muchísimas gracias Sonia! 🙏
