@@PeterMcKinnon when i shoot film I don’t see much difference between 35mm film vs digital in terms of resolution. That’s why most film shooters just shoot medium format- which in many cases exceeds the resolution of digital photography …
@@PeterMcKinnono be accurate, wouldn't this process be considered HYBRID film/digital? The photography was film of course, but the post production was digital... SUGGESTION, it would be interesting to use non digital developing as well. Nothing wrong with a hybrid approach, BUT if the camera is from the 1970s, perhaps limit yourself to post production technology of the 1970s? Or perhaps the 1990s(before digital cameras)
When someone from this new generation says this, FILM IS NOT DEAD It sounds like the magic continues..thank you for your fantastic and artistic contribution..
What a perfect timing! I’m gonna cry. I’ve been trying to start my own film lab business this month, this video gave me a lot of courage and confidence. Especially an artist like you, Peter, I really appreciate this. I can trust more of myself and what I’m doing is meaningful and useful. Thank you. ❤
See what is available in your area. If there isn't and there is demand (like a small hip city or 2), you should be good. I'm 60 miles north of Boston and there are few stores left. Buuuuut... Hunts in Boston sends their E6 to the town next to me. I can drive 15 minutes and get my film developed which rules
I can’t help but feel a tinge of sadness watching this. I think many of us crave all things analogue, reminiscing about a time not so long ago where everything was much less clinical and much more innocent and personal. I hope we will have the sense to integrate the good of that era not only in our tools, but in our attitudes and humanity.
Living in Seattle..It's a mess. Open drug use everywhere. Don't have to walk far to find fights, people blacked out or dead. Not sure the war on drugs was a bad idea.@@Sarocenum
I switched to shooting only film last year, and it was such a refresher to photography. Now I shoot both film and digi and I feel like my skills in photography has increased since shooting film.
PM is that enthusiastic guy that every month discover something new (or rediscover) and get excited like a baby. Then he makes videos about his "new" passion and ispires million of us... keep going man. Love from San Marino🇸🇲
This brings back memories. I shot my first wedding in 1979. No one realizes but back in the day when shooting square format we had 12 rolls of 120 which is 144 pictures and we shot a whole wedding with that. Every picture we shot had to be perfect. That art has been lost.
I did the same back in the late 60s, early 70s. The beauty of shooting weddings then was NO post production. You didn’t have to sit in front of the computer in Photoshop for hours and hours. Our “post” was done in the camera as you shot.
Yeah... when you've been a lifelong film-shooter, aware of your dwindling resources (36-38 shots 35mm before you reload, appreciably less on rollfilm!) shooting digital makes you so absurdly picture-profligate! Kinda ridiculous suddenly having apparently limitless resources to keep shooting away, and I still, after quite a few years of shooting digital, find myself worrying now about the limits of SD cards and camera batteries!! I'm still adjusting..!
We are about the same. I shot my first wedding around 1980. 35MM. After a short spell of that, I got hired by a studio who told me that I had to buy a Hasselblad! So I did. They would pay me $150 a wedding... Yes...the whole day. After a couple of years I went out on my own. I'd shoot 10 rolls of 220. It was a bit nerve-wracking to not know what came out until the film came back from the lab (with prints).
@@hom296 nice I started out shooting with old Kowa 2 1/4 cameras. And I had my big Norman flash. Everything was manual. Those were the days and I miss those days.
Welcome back to the wonderful world of analog photography Pete! There's a few of us here in the depths of UA-cam that shoot a lot of film and love to nerd out about it. There's also a huge rabbit hole to fall down and the community is very cool! I hope this video gets lots more people interested in the craft!
I’ve been shooting film alongside digital for a little over a year now. It actually helped my digital process so much and help me understand the importance of light and how to make use of shutter speed and aperture in more creative ways. I’m sure I could have learned it eventually without a film camera but it definitely feels like it sped up that process for me
I was into VFX first, and I discovered your videos when you had like around 80K subscribers. Watching them inspired me to pursue photography, which I've always been drawn to. I even sometimes wish I had been born 20 or 30 years ago. Well, the thing is, I liked your style better at first, and then slowly you started to post and make videos about vintage things and the stories they have in your life. I'm also a big vintage lover, so I loved your style already, but your content got even better for me once you started incorporating vintage stuff into your videos. As I learned more about storytelling and photography, I became increasingly fascinated by the colors and aesthetic of film cameras. I've recently started shooting more on film, so I was thrilled when I saw that you began shooting on film too. Words can't express how happy it makes me feel to watch your latest video. I also wanted to mention that I've always appreciated your skill at storytelling, and the way you convey your stories is what I love the most. Shooting on film has added an extra layer to your work that I find truly captivating.
Switched to digital maybe 7 years ago. Even developed my own stuff before that. Don't see myself ever going back to film but my oldest son loves it. Gave him my film cameras. He even did his final project for a directing/screenwriting degree on film. The only one in his college that year.

You always reset my camera experience, Pete. It always feels so fresh to take a picture, make a video, to edit and to explore every corner of my creativity.
I have been shooting a lot more film in the last two years and also I’ve been able to grab some of the best film cameras ever produced for pennies on the dollar. It’s exciting to see you wander back to it as this is where it all started. Proud of you. Hope you’re well. Stay blessed my friend.
Film cameras just went up 20% 😂 Great to see that film is making a come back. The sense of community that's comes with shooting film is second to none. You do what you love and make friends along the way.
Those few shots at the end were so rich man, love them. This takes me back to my college days shooting roll after roll and developing my own BW in the back room under a red light. Wow these are special, can't wait to see where you go with this mate.
i’ve been watching youtubers i used to watch earlier, for the past couple days and just realised that i have had basically every hobby. like most hobbies i have or wanted to do
This is insane timing. I just received my first film camera in the mail. The bucket shot video is what got me into photography. So excited to see the guy who got me into this return to film!
Love that you're shooting film! It's just a majestic experience and I just keep falling deeper into it. I grew up with it, too, and every time I tried to throw it away, convinced that digital was completely superior, it never happened. I'm launching a community darkroom fundraising campaign on Monday, so this has me extra pumped. :)
you made me start learning and loving digital photography and now you are coming we're i've been for the last two years or so, in the analog world. Beautiful to see you here
This made my day, dude! Your reactions were all the same as mine when I dove into film recently ... the shutter sound, the light metering, and getting that first roll back that didn't suck! As always, well done video and appreciate your thoughtfulness around photography
I've had 8mm and 16mm film in the fridge for over 10 years, thinking one day I'll use it, even though I can't use these particular rolls anymore. It's a nice reminder of a different kind of artistic expression and one I'll always remember LOVING! 🎞
Really cool to see you embarking on this new (old) journey. I leaned as a kid my first basics on film, did first experiments on film, then digital came. Film has it's beauty / texture that digital has not. With the AI menace invading photography, film will be reborn as the backbone on genuine photography.
Learning the fundamentals of film is the hardest way. Each picture on a film is carefully considered a decision. There is a limited number of pictures you can take. Another factor is to get it right and make sure that you don’t mess up the exposure, unless you know how to push or pull the film. Film is great and different. The most exciting feeling in to wait and see the results. It is nice to have a tangible image. This is only the beginning for developing, printing in paper Is another process and is not as easy as editing your pictures in photoshop or any other editing software.
Slow down, shoot film, find the light and those moments of beauty. Sounds a lot like Zen and the art of photography. Thanks so much for the thought provoking content.
Shooting film for the first time is like a rights of passage, or going on your first pilgrimage as a digital shooter. I loved watching Peter so excited, it reminded me how I felt returning back to shooting film a few years ago. The scene with Peter nervous in the lab, waiting for the negs to come out of the machine, was like how first time dads are in the Labour ward waiting for their first born… Oh, and babies cost a bomb, just like shooting film… Excellent upload!… 💗

Damn Pete I feel like you're at an absolute peak in quality. Not only is the video stunning but your photography and such a raw and authentic feel for the photos. You're literally living your best life right now. You have a beautiful nee space, you're making art, meeting new people, this is all so beautiful! I'm so proud of all your growth and I'm really looking forward to seeing this next chapter in your life unfold! Bless Up 🙏
This video took my back in time. As a kid I would look at the photos/slides my dad took over the years. My first photos where taken on his old cameras. When he turned 70 I scanned over 200 photos and made a book for him. Thank you for the trip down memory lane.
I did an A-Level in photography back in 1993 and I can't tell you how satisfying it was to develop my own film and then create prints in the dark room. Nothing replaces that feeling as you watch the picture appear in the red light 😍
@@kennumyet here you are. Watching and commenting. Cracks me up. Think you’re being rebellious and edgy while functioning identically to what you’re rebelling against.
@@silbay we used to have a place in town who would develop and scan it for us for $15 per roll. And if I'm lucky, I could get it down to $10. Unfortunately, the place just shut down 4 months ago... A bummer 😞
I cant breath.... wow. This is what we did back in 1975...... waiting for 2 or 3 weeks to see your picture for the first time.... I just love the way you sink into photography. You are a master....
I shot film for years and was fortunate enough to do it as a job running a film development lab and a dark room. It was a blast having the equipment to play with, dodge and burn, play with the develop/stop/fix trays depending on the results i wanted. Washing and drying prints was fun. When digital came along and Photoshop it was like having a full dark room at home. As much as i loved film and the processing, I'd never go back other than for the nestalgia of doing so occasionally.
Camera prices about to shoot up even more 😂 I’m sure it’s been said, but with a 6x7 negative, it is a .5 crop, so the 105 is closer to 52mm. I love my 67, and the negatives that it produces! Modern digitals are amazing, and clinical. They produce terrific images, but feel somewhat soulless. Shooting film still fills me with joy every time! Great vid as always 👍 Look forward to more film excursions to come!
You got me so excited, I actually took my film camera out and took a couple of shots, after years and years of not using it. It still had a roll of film in it! Film will never be dead, I think. It's not just about the photos, it's the entire creative experience and process that makes it special. Thank you for another inspiring video!
Slowing down the upload rate did help you! Your videos are now again connecting to me and giving an emotional touch, which we as a viewer wants. Felt so inspiring! thanks pete...
I've watched a lot of your videos over the years, but something about this one....this was the most satisfying watch for me and immediately my favorite video of yours. The blend of learning, vulnerability, and anxiety you created when you didn't know if your skills would transfer mediums...but you took the risk of exposing yourself as a creative fraud (of course we all know you aren't) but achieved validation that, yes, you're good at this no matter the tools you use. and the lessons you learned along the way taught us all a good lesson in return. Thank you for this video.
This all brought back so many memories for me. I used to work for Kodak labs and it's been years since I've even seen someone use film. Great to see it's return 😊
I loved this video. It just spoke to my hart. A few years ago I picked up my first camera and started shooting. Your videos got and kept me so stoke an this hobby. So that I am applying for Photography University right now and plan to make my passion a living. 2 years ago I picked up my first analog camera and it is just so awesome to see you relive every analog photographers dream. Thanks for pushing on and keep all of us stoked!
Peter, I bought my first camera the same week you published your first hit tutorial on UA-cam more than 6 years ago. You were probably the first photography tutorial I ever watched on UA-cam. I started my photography journey as you started your UA-cam journey. I learned a ton from you. After a year or 2, I began to grow apart from your style (but not your character and personality), I was shooting film more and more, and stopped following what you were doing that much. I guess it's time to go back at it. Excited for this journey!
Bought a ‘57 Chevy, restored it, got it running perfect, painted it - looking sweet! I then put it on a flat bed truck to show my family and friends. If they want to ride in it, they climb up into the flat bed. = analog film -> digitized.
This is such a cool video. Just to see your pure joy and excitement for photography to the point that Peter McKinnon is nervous and to see him getting tips from friends and see how humble he is. Keep it up Peter! I can’t wait to see what else you shoot. Also best line was “sorry guys it’s my first day”
That developer machine brought me back! My dad uses to work on Noritsu machines, and would fly all around the United States to help train technicians. Thanks for shouting that out!
yes bro I'm excited to see you explore film. been loving your energy over the years but barely watch as I prefer the analog stuff. may this bring more people in the film community!
I started shooting film again during the pandemic as a way to go back to analog. I dusted off my old minolta I learned photography with in highschool and it still works perfectly. This really inspired me to load up a roll and go shoot
Loved this - while I'm sure the sound of the medium format shutter never gets old, nor does your childlike enthusiasm and curiosity for all aspects of the craft... inspiring 👐
its just overpriced now. lots of hype because people are too stupid to realize you can go slow with digital as well. and people forgetting electronic film cameras exist that make the experience basically the same if u want it to. ppl want to act like shooting film is hard but its really easy
So great to see you shooting film Pete! I’ve shot strictly film for the last 5 years on my Leica M6 and wouldn’t have it any other way. Thanks for helping keep the stoke for the film purists alive!
Thank you Angel and C41 for a great day! Check em both out on the gram! Awesome people! :)
On it 🔥
NOSTALGIC!
Excited to see more of this. Good shit man
Give it a shot to large format, just try it, with positive and negative film. You are going to fall in love with it. I'm serious.
Welcome back (to film). We have missed you over here in the film camp.
Film to me is just focusing on the process, forgetting the result, and being surprised by the result after a while
Thats a great point!
Love this!
Love this way of thinking about it.
so fo rthe first couple of hundred years .. photographers like Avadon and Lindberg only cared about the process?
Like an expensive fidget spinner where sometimes you get keepers.
I love that you’re diving deeper into photography 😊 you’re just so damn good at it.
waiting for him to get a Mamiya 7...
nothing like starting off on a Leica,.
Thanks bro :) ❤

My grandfather gave me his Minolta Srt 101, the feeling of shooting analog is insane, and the grainy photos are superb! Really enjoyed this vid Peter!
That's the camera we used in our Highschool newspaper. Great camera
The SRT 201 was the first SLR camera I have ever used. It was my dad's and he gave it to me a few years ago.
I have a Minolta x700 - from the time when you needed upper body strength to carry your camera.
This is our absolute favourite era of Peter McKinnon! Seeing you give some love to film was such a huge moment for us!! All the love x

It was a blast having the equipment to play with, dodge and burn, play with the develop/stop/fix trays depending on the results i wanted. Washing and drying prints was fun. When digital came along and Photoshop it was like having a full dark room at home. As much as i loved film and the processing, I'd never go back other than for the nestalgia of doing so occasionally.
Camera prices about to shoot up even more 😂
I’m sure it’s been said, but with a 6x7 negative, it is a .5 crop, so the 105 is closer to 52mm. I love my 67, and the negatives that it produces! Modern digitals are amazing, and clinical. They produce terrific images, but feel somewhat soulless. Shooting film still fills me with joy every time!
Great vid as always 👍 Look forward to more film excursions to come!
Love seeing stuff like this. Never stop exploring
You got me so excited, I actually took my film camera out and took a couple of shots, after years and years of not using it. It still had a roll of film in it! Film will never be dead, I think. It's not just about the photos, it's the entire creative experience and process that makes it special. Thank you for another inspiring video!
Slowing down the upload rate did help you! Your videos are now again connecting to me and giving an emotional touch, which we as a viewer wants. Felt so inspiring! thanks pete...
This is why I shoot Fuji. I love the manual controls and how it forces you to slow down and just enjoy taking photos.
I've watched a lot of your videos over the years, but something about this one....this was the most satisfying watch for me and immediately my favorite video of yours. The blend of learning, vulnerability, and anxiety you created when you didn't know if your skills would transfer mediums...but you took the risk of exposing yourself as a creative fraud (of course we all know you aren't) but achieved validation that, yes, you're good at this no matter the tools you use. and the lessons you learned along the way taught us all a good lesson in return. Thank you for this video.
Respect for the little Joe Greer shoutout with his book. One of the masters.
This all brought back so many memories for me. I used to work for Kodak labs and it's been years since I've even seen someone use film. Great to see it's return 😊
And now I want a film camera. Great shots, Peter!!
This is the most coolest video ever. Specially position attitude & no tension at all while shooting film ( as everyone get nervous)
We need more film photography videos like this
I appreciate the humbleness with which your taking this new venture. I'm happy for you! Great job.
Pete! I love that you are finally stepping into Film!
This is how I shoot with my R6. "Street Photography". I love it. Just Random objects you see. Random buildings. Thats MY personal favorite to shoot.
I loved this video. It just spoke to my hart. A few years ago I picked up my first camera and started shooting. Your videos got and kept me so stoke an this hobby. So that I am applying for Photography University right now and plan to make my passion a living. 2 years ago I picked up my first analog camera and it is just so awesome to see you relive every analog photographers dream. Thanks for pushing on and keep all of us stoked!
It's great to see you enjoy it man - Great to get that vibe back from your videos!
Peter finally jumping into film!! Been shooting film for the past 3 years, and still loving it…
Peter,
I bought my first camera the same week you published your first hit tutorial on UA-cam more than 6 years ago.
You were probably the first photography tutorial I ever watched on UA-cam.
I started my photography journey as you started your UA-cam journey.
I learned a ton from you.
After a year or 2, I began to grow apart from your style (but not your character and personality), I was shooting film more and more, and stopped following what you were doing that much.
I guess it's time to go back at it.
Excited for this journey!
You know it's a good video when you keep watching it over and over. I found film a couple years ago and am super hooked, nice shots!
it really gave a nostalgic vibe . my father use to show his films back in the days it was so cool
mesmerising video!!
Your best video in 2 years. This was really felt. Anybody else. Simple and inward moving. Great Piece. Congrats.
Kudos to C41 making old new again. Your camera curio cabinet is 🔥🔥
You unlocked me a tons of memories... I worked a lot with these analog developing gears! Thanks a lot!
Bought a ‘57 Chevy, restored it, got it running perfect, painted it - looking sweet! I then put it on a flat bed truck to show my family and friends. If they want to ride in it, they climb up into the flat bed. = analog film -> digitized.
It's like vinyl in music. Nostalgic and amazing how those techniques work. Very old and this stuff still works today
This is such a cool video. Just to see your pure joy and excitement for photography to the point that Peter McKinnon is nervous and to see him getting tips from friends and see how humble he is. Keep it up Peter! I can’t wait to see what else you shoot. Also best line was “sorry guys it’s my first day”
Beautifully crafted. Such a nostalgia treat. Great one. Thanks for reminding us that shooting film is not dead.
That developer machine brought me back! My dad uses to work on Noritsu machines, and would fly all around the United States to help train technicians. Thanks for shouting that out!
The day we've all been waiting for has come!
yes bro I'm excited to see you explore film. been loving your energy over the years but barely watch as I prefer the analog stuff. may this bring more people in the film community!
The more times I study this episode the more I see how brilliantly it was structured. Literally taking notes. Thank you @petermckinnon
I started shooting film again during the pandemic as a way to go back to analog. I dusted off my old minolta I learned photography with in highschool and it still works perfectly. This really inspired me to load up a roll and go shoot
Loved this - while I'm sure the sound of the medium format shutter never gets old, nor does your childlike enthusiasm and curiosity for all aspects of the craft... inspiring 👐
This is the content we want.. just love and passion for photography no matter what.
Genuinely Peter -- I had smile on the whole time. Great video and glad to see you and your friends finding something new to appreciate and learn
The passion of photography is revived. This is what photography is all about . Love it. I miss shooting with films
its just overpriced now. lots of hype because people are too stupid to realize you can go slow with digital as well. and people forgetting electronic film cameras exist that make the experience basically the same if u want it to. ppl want to act like shooting film is hard but its really easy
I was anxious and this video just calmed me down. Thank you, Pete❤
So great to see you shooting film Pete! I’ve shot strictly film for the last 5 years on my Leica M6 and wouldn’t have it any other way. Thanks for helping keep the stoke for the film purists alive!
When I get unmotivated in shooting, and lost track of artistry..I'll open my open my laptop, watch Pete's Videos, and BAMMM! Motivation Restored!
For me this is your most valuable video in a long time. Thank You Pete
Very excited to see your new journey!!!! The shots are looking awesome already 😻😻😻😻
“Too busy to remember to slow down” hit so hard
"We are just too busy to remember to slow down" - So true.
Welcome Peter! This is why you're still THE KING!
