  • WHATS GUCCI, in todays video I explain to you guys method of how I shoot film at night. Shooting film is already challenging and adding a variable that plays against you like the dark night can definitely be overwhelming. I hope to aid all of you who are intimidated or afraid of shooting at night just like I once was by offering you guys my technique with consist of using aperture priority as well as a high speed film. I hope you guys enjoy it, this has to be the easiest and most beginner friendly way of doing it! Enjoy!

      Hey! Your videos are so helpful, thanks sooo much! I’m really happy that I stumbled across your channel cause I just got a film camera with a broken light meter 😩
      I was wondering if you could go a little more in detail about the myLightMeter app? The last step you mentioned was to match it up with the camera. But how do you choose which settings to use? f/1.4? f/2? Etc.
      Thanks again for your videos!

      Hey Buddy !
      u forgot to talk about “film pushing” in your vid. I’m new to analog photography and I want to know, if it is possible to shoot at night with 200 iso 🙆🏻‍♂️. Anyways, nice vids bud, the help a lot ! Keep it up 👌🏻.

      Hello,
      I have a question about the light meter app...
      I'm new to this so, please bear with me here.
      When I measure my subject or photo with the app, is there a marker that will tell me the ideal settings to enter into my camera?

    My other recommendation is to try the Kodak Portra 800 for night photography. Please try bracketing your shots by starting at wide open on your aperture ring and shoot at different F stops for each frame because you would see the light difference in your shots. Peace, Flood!

    • @KingJvpes
      @KingJvpes  6 років тому +5

    • @evelasq1
      @evelasq1 6 років тому +3

      KingJvpes You have to keep in mind when you’re wide open, you’re creating a shallow depth of field. :) Peace, Flood!

  • @blibeats648
    @blibeats648 3 роки тому +14

    In my opinion its worth grabbing a tripod to get longer exposures, this way you can get a sharper image with something like an f/8 or f/11. You also wouldn't be limited to a super high ISO film to get enough exposure, so you can get a less grainy shot by using a 400 film.
    However my advice would be bad if your subject is moving/human, as they would turn out super blurry. Great for street photography tho!

  • @robertom5355

    Portra 400 also looks pretty good when pushed to 800. So that's another color film option.

  • @klausphotobaer5754
    @klausphotobaer5754 5 років тому +2

    Hi, I'd suggest not to just follow the LightMeter at night. Reciprocity ( schwarzschild effect ) has to be taken into consideration for long exposures. Opening the lens to lowest f-stop results in " soft " pictures most times and only gives you a very shallow depth of field. If that's the look you're going for, ok. Otherwise a tripod is mandatory, wich takes high ISO Film out of the equation. Just a suggestion of mine.

    My challenge is I have an OM-1 with a working light meter (so I don't carry a light meter) but the light meter works by casting a shadow on the image in the viewfinder. So at night, I can't read the light meter unless I point it at something bright enough, at which point I'm not metering the shot I'm trying to expose.

      Yes, generally that's correct - for example, if you have a roll of Ektar 100 film, you would set your camera ISO value to 100. This helps your camera to expose your film properly.

    I wonder if the quality of your phone's camera affects the performance of the light meter app. I know my phone has garbo low light vision in general.

    can you please do a comparison on the canon f1 versus nikon f3

      Both great cameras. You can't go wrong with either. The Canon F1 has several models, the F1 New being closer to the Nikon F3 in terms of features. If you look back through the videos on this site he has looked at both cameras at a time when he was starting out. Thoughts may have changed with the acquisition of a year or two of experience.

    Aputure priority is problematic. Who wants to be shooting hand held at night, then all of sudden your camera decides to drop it's shutter speed down to 5. Shots would basically be unusable if you're going handheld.
