Footage from my trip out to the French alps back in march/April. Leica Uk kindly lent me a 50mm lens for this trip which was super kind and I really enjoyed the switch up from using 28mm. instagrams Me ( your host ) benj.story Ben ( the Grepon / my host) greponvisuals

An evening with EDITORS
Переглядів 258Рік тому
I recently joined EDITORS at the Manchester gig of their UK tour. It was an amazing experience and it was my first time shooting anything like that. I was overly happy with the work I made over the course of the evening and its never really sunk in that it actually happened. To see more of my work you can visit me over on instagram benj.story
A London weekend

I recently took a long weekend down in London, to visit friends but ultimately make some new work. Ended up shooting a tonne of portraits on the M6 and RB67 plus a weird little side project on some very green litter. instagram is here benj.story

    Yo nice sweater! Looking slick my man. Nice camera too! I am mad jealous. Also who shoots XP2! Deep cut bro. I have subscribed in hopes of living vicariously through you as you shoot your leica because I'll probably never be able to own one. BTW, please don't be upset if you scroll upon my video making fun of leica owners. It was all a joke for internet attention. I don't want to get cancelled by the film community before I get a reel following.

    It’s sounding like your meter sensor could be dirty/ partially blocked and giving you strange meter readings. I’m assuming you’re in the uk, you have a guy there that does fantastic work refurbishing those cameras. I’m getting a second one refurbished being delivered today. Anyways, doing so much digital camera photography, I found myself beginning to get retro style cameras and going back to more manual focus and manual exposure. I then thought about film but went with something in between, film but instant and now I’m on my second sx-70. I’ve been taking the cartridges and removing the batteries and metal spring inside and storing them there. You can fit around 12 photos.

    Nice video and great shots! To archive them i would suggest an actual polaroid photo album, i bought one on Amazon for fairly cheap (like €20) and it can store up to 160 polaroids, they're well made and don't take too much space. Either that or put them in a shoe box like the ones from vans which are quite small and could also maybe keep them somehow organized :)

    The results are from the lens and the film, not the camera. The camera just makes the experience better.

      Exactly! I have been fortunate enough over the years to end up with a 28 and 50 Summicron. If someone said I had to shoot the M6 with non-Leica lenses, or shoot any non-Leica M mount body with the summicrons, the M6 is gone.

    It’s interesting to see that the most of the art happens in-camera and the post adjustments are very minor. This is what draws me toward film photography and of course it’s unique colour profiles! Keep going! Lovin’ it!
