I'd love to see some of those photos you considered "meh" and "throwaway" images like you mentioned around the 11 minute mark. It would be interesting to hear where you think they fell short or missed the mark. Sometimes the "fails" can be just as motivating and educational as the 5 star photos!! Great video, thank you so much for sharing this
I’ve been shooting film for just under 3 years now and I’ve definitely gotten the hang of it for sure since I do the entire process myself from shooting, developing, and scanning I’ve definitely improved my skills from getting my film accidentally cross processed to mounting my own slides it’s definitely fun even with the price increases I’ve still managed to have fun and create good images
As an old analogue photographer, who has photographed digital about 10 years, I have now gone back to analogue as my main photography. And I really enjoy it.
Just came across you on my recommended. I love those last two shots. They’re amazing. I’ve shooting film for half my life and you’re work is incredible. Can’t wait to see where you’re at in another years time.
I love the style of your videos so much! I have recently ventured into film photography, and your personal journey is amazing to see. I'm becoming more and more excited about experimenting and broadening my knowledge of film photography! Keen to watch more of your stuff!
Your May photos (yellow broom in a restaurant and the train) and your last November shots of the misty night were my favorites. Lovely work man
This video came recommended on my YT homepage today. It's really cool to both see and hear about your progression! I just subscribed and look forward to watching more.
Great episode. I really love to watch how mile step you did with your film photgraphy. Inspiring episode.
I love watching other people just be excited about film and taking photos in general , makes me giddy with them. Keep up the great work!!
love this! film is so much fun to shoot- I've always shot medium format but playing with 35mm and its very life giving
I'm quite drawn into the whole concept of film photography and I can't wait to get my hands on a film camera.
I know for sure that this experience is going to be way more magical than it is with my DSLR.
It's very interesting Teo to see progress made in your photography, I really like the last two misty shots. Well done!
How great the first frame is, that it´s only half the picture and showing a house which looks like someone took a bite out of it.
Love it!
I like how you give us enough time to actually look at the photos before they disappear. Some videos show the photography so fast you have to pause the video. Also, it's really cool how much you learned in a year!
Loved this video and seeing how your style changed and developed (pun intended) over the past year. I'm the same way in that I'm a digital native and started shooting film a year ago too. I may put up a video like this too exploring my first year of film photos!
Your photos are great! it just popped on my recommended. Im working with digital but now I'm kinda inspired to start shooting film
Loved the process, truly appreciate the journey and GROWTH💯 FILM PHOTOGRAPHY IS WHOLESOME✨
Love those Misty night images! Film photography has took over my channel in the last year too!
love the way you speak! could listen for ages, you seem so humble
Right after I finished watching your video, I followed your Instagram and subscribed your channel. Your works are spectacular and so inspired to me.
love the progression throughout this year. außerdem jemand der film romantisiert ohne sich dem trend anzuschließen. wundervoller mensch
Just started exploring film and found your channel. Your videos are so therapeutic! ❤
I have only done black and white film photography in my highschool. But I fell in love with the process of shooting, developing, and scanning film. I recently bought a Canon Elan II and can’t wait to see how it works, and apply my new knowledge of photography to take good photos
Great photos and video man, really cool seeing your journey :)
Lovely journey and great shots! 🖤
So cool to see your progress Teo, those misty photos at the end are epic 👌 Look forward to seeing more my friend.
Loved the one on the left from the last two - feels futuristic!
I love to watch yr video teo, that motivate me more in photography keep going!
Being from the film era, I'm always amazed that the younger generation is embracing film, wondering if it works ha. I still like film and have several camera bodies but like you said it's becoming expensive. Keep up the good work and I hope you don't ever lose the film excitement.
Idk if it's just me but your photos giving me serene thoughts and vibes. Sooo so beautiful, unique, and natural in between moments. I love watching every second of this
Aww thank you so much!🥺🙇🏻♂️
I'm so happy to know that the photographs can connect with you on a felt level, even if it's not the feelings I get. Simply that you feel something means a lot to me🤗
Your demeanor is so calm and relaxed. I think I’m catching feelings…………..
Nice job,man!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
I just got a olympus OM10 and cant wait to start my film photography journey . Thanks for the inspo! First video I have seen from your channel!
The last ones look insane! They are awesome, it looks like the upside down
Nice to hear you talk about your progress. I really like the pairing of the shots at 16:07 - the pillow (?) held by the guy on the left (and the flash light) match the light on the clouds on the right.
Ohh what an interesting observation, love it thank you! I think he was holding some rolled up white sheets🤔😅
Fantastic video, it's amazing seeing all your progress in one video, you're doing well.
Also, if you're still having that problem with your k1000 where the winding handle isn't reciprocating, I'd recommend making sure the base of the frame counter is screwed in tightly still. I needed to do internal work on my k1000 recently and had the same reciprocation issue after not screwing it back down tightly enough.
Thank you!🙇🏻♂️
Ahh interesting - I'm a bit afraid of screwing around inside the Pentax haha😅 The issue is there, but it hasn't really hindered my photography process :)
Very nice overview Teo. Time flies when you have fun...I remember almost every photo keep up...
wonderful video! i love your shots !
Hi Teo, great video as always! Could you please do a film photography 101 video where you tell us all the issues you've encountered in your journey? I want to get started on this, but I feel like there is a lot to know. Keep up the amazing work bro!
Hellooo, thank you!🙇🏻♂️🤗
Honestly I don't know how much value that would add to this platform seeing as there are already so many film 101 videos on UA-cam from photographers that have far more experience than I have🤔🤷🏻♂️
I just loaded up my first roll of film!! And I’m so excited to get started ><
P.S feel free to share any tips you guys may have!
P.S again, I rly love the Oct 2021 photos ❤️
You're rushing the process. Success is a long journey. Enjoy it. Have fun. I've never met a photographer, who had a roll that had an entirely good set.
I started shooting film at roughly the same time as you and I am so glad to see that I am not the only one to struggle with the analog process in the beginning. The shot at 18:00 is my absolute favorite, keep it up!
Ohh cool, yeah it's definitely a process that takes some time. And mind that I have no clue about developing - that's a whole chapter of the process that I have yet to learn😅
Ohh sweet, which one, left or right? I can't really decide myself but I thiiink I'm leaning towards the tree on the left🧐🤷🏻♂️
Thank you🙇🏻♂️
Misty nights are my favorite weather to shoot in
Nice video! I just bought a zenit ttl which i havent got just yet but ill get it in few days. It is my first film camera ever and im so excited! I have only shot video for about one year with a Sony mirrorless so its gonna take time to learn to expose correctly but i think i have a pretty good idea of what to do.
Just found your channel, thanks for the great insightful videos on the subject! Subbed.
I was born in -81 so guess its kinda weird i have never had a 35mm before 😅
Thank you for the video. Ive been very anxious about going to places alone and take pictures but analog gave me an excuse yo get out and try it
i watched this months ago when i was going to buy a film camera but I never bit the bullet. Now, I got a lot of birthday money on top of the money I had saved up so I finally decided to buy my first (and second) film camera: an Ilford Sprite 35-II, a point and shoot reminiscent of disposable camera but reusable; and a canon AE-1. i loved this video and it’s one of the reasons i bought them :)
Absolutely love the picture off man with the flashlight into the night…. 👍
I started shooting film on Christmas last year dope video
That feeling that those photos are the best I‘ve ever taken will not easily come back to me, since I shot slide film in Africa in 1996 and it‘s extremely difficult for me today to shoot photos today that can compete with those safari photos.
I don’t really know what scanner you’re using but I would definitely suggest a dedicated scanner (as opposed to a flat bed). This film lab probably has an extremely high end version of a dedicated scanner but it really pays off even for the cheaper one I have. I have the Plustek OpticFilm 8200i and the detail it can resolve is incredible. Flat bed scanners always seem to be too soft.
All the time that I watch a video about film, my desire to buy an analog camera increase 1000x hehe
Great video and nice pics!
I think there's no single photographer in the world who gets much more shots per roll they really like than you did there. That's just the nature of the art of photography. :)
Thank you for uploading this.
Amazing. Thank you for sharing the last two photos are definitely my fav. Would love to do this myself. I think you just inspired me
i totally feel this whole "Digital Backup"-Thing. I always have this fear of Messing up because i dont have a instant feedback on film, but most of the time it goes fine
8:10 - the third shot comes out really nicely.
Aww cool, thanks! I really like the space and the scale of that one, the way how the model is small but still a central part of the photograph. If only the other people weren't there😩🤷🏻♂️
New subscriber here! Thank you for sharing! I just started film photography as a hobby. I'm still getting used to my Lomography simple use reloadable camera before I buy a better one!
You make film look good.
It's great to see your progress. As you do both: film and digital photography, have you thought about using classical lenses on your digital camera?I've been doing that almost from the beginning of my photography journey and last year started also making films with them. I really fell in love with filming although I'm still working on my own approach. I also have a film camera and one roll of film and have been looking forward to try it. Your video has given me the kick to finally do it.
Yes, I've done that before! I actually scan that way haha. I use an old manual macro lens adapted to my digital Sony camera to "scan" my negatives.
But apart from that I've used old lenses on digital cameras before and totally get, why it's fun. Actually haven't done it in a while, I should try it out again🤔🙌🏼
Ohh that's great, I'm so happy this could somehow help you to move forward💪🏼🤗
Good job bro keep going from Thailand :")
Shot film ever since my dad handed me his Argus back in the early 60’s. Someone bought me a nice Nikon digital SLR in the 90’s and I hung up the analog gear. Slowly over time my love of photography waned.. And here’s the thing that I’ve learned. Digital is great. It gets to an end result. But the process is quite different. With film its thoughtful and purposeful. I THINK about what i am going to do. With digital I shoot… shoot .. shoot knowing that I can eventually get to where I want. Its the difference between making love and masturbation. While the end result might be the same … how I got there was quite different and adds immensely to the satisfaction of everyone concerned. Thanks for sharing your discovery.
35mm film the ultimate archival medium. Adore the process, time & investment.
@Mike Zielinski Digital images all look the same. Sharp, dull & boring. 35mm cameras & lenses offer a distinct personality.
Super Fotos! Beste Grüße aus Wien
Awesome video! I’ve really been enjoying following your progression with film and hearing you break down your technique and intention for each photo. I just started shooting film in June and have similarly had some good moments along with setbacks :)
I think you mentioned in the video that you scan your own photos: do you have a certain technique that works for you? I’d love to get into scanning film, but I don’t have access to super expensive equipment / I don’t know where to start, so hearing your experiences would be amazing!
Thank you, I'm glad this has been somehow interesting🤗
Yeah I do the DSLR-scanning technique (you can find many UA-cam tutorials on this topic). I got quite lucky with the gear actually, because you need a macro lens for this method and I got one from my girlfriend's grandfather who was going to throw the lens away, but then gave it to me instead. Apart from that my set up costed me about 220€: 90€ Lightbed, 30€ second hand film holder (Lomography's "Digitaliza") and the 100€ NegativeLabPro License🤔
I don't know if this is in your budget. If not you can leave away the NegativeLabPro Licence and convert your photos manually with Lightroom's curves. The most important piece is the Lightbed🙌🏼
@@teocrawford Thanks so much for all the info! This is really helpful for me. I should be able to save up that much in a couple months, I might try using Lightroom for the conversions too :)
Молодец! 😍 классные видео! 😉😊
I've been shooting film constantly for a year now, and since where I live there aren't any labs anymore, I have to do the developing myself. At first it was fun and such, but I have to say that I've been shooting less bc I found it kind of tedious to do it myself now. For me that's the worst part, been losing some motivation even
Hello. Can I please ask what film you are using for the April 2021 shots?
I really liked your video and look Forward to seeing more of your work! :)
its almost a year for me aswell and we both have a pentax k1000 👉👈
I will try film photography because my grandpa passed a year ago and my grandma gave me his film camera. and I am sooo excited to do it
Aaaah this happened to me recently too!! I found my grandpas camera at my grandmas and she said "Oh if you want it please take it!!" I've shot with it all summer, it's been so fun and I'm so excited waiting for the rolls to come back from being developed! I hope you have as much fun as me with this :)
nice man keep it up
Love your videos, wondering what percent is analog compared to digital in your photography?
Hey awesome Vid, really enjoying your shots. May I ask, what are you studying and where? (:
Hey again! What are you using for scanning? I recently got into “scanning” with my digital camera and the results blew me away! They on another level compared to my epson v550 and they even surpassed my local lab’s Noritsu. I can PM you a couple of examples if you’d like to see them :)
i've been trying this for a while but i just can't get the images to be as sharp as my lab. i use a fujifilm xt3 + canon fd 50mm 3.5 macro (at f8 100ISO and 1/60)
Braking a K1000 LOL!! I left mine on the top of a friends car once and they only noticed that it was still there after somebody told them, after they've drove 4 Kms and were at the food of a hill they just went down.
Shooting BW Film is even more nice as you can do the development yourself (I now do with beer and wine).
I love shooting film, been shooting film since I was little. Its just so expensive 😭
woah you are amazing
hey ,an, can u please mention colour grading style name you use for gopro POVs
hello!! i really loved this video and seeing the development of your film photography, your journey as you began experimenting and having fun with it!! i’d like to know, what film did you use for january 2021? i really loved how the shots at night turned out!!
I've been watching film photography videos for several months now. Your channel was recommended to me by youtube and I'm very grateful because your channel is awesome. One question I have for someone who is starting out doing film photography, what app do you use for a light meter?
Aww thank you, I'm so happy you're enjoying it🤗
I just use an App called "Lightmeter Free" haha😅😅
Question: what are you looking for when using the light meter, to take a good film shot?
Greetings! Love the video. Waiting for my AE-1 to get delivered to me. Super excited and I can't wait! Btw 0:59 what app is this?
Ohh cool, I hope you have a good time with it!😍 The app is called "Lightmeter Free"😅
We seemed to have emerged in this hobby at different ends of the spectrum.
You started out with digital then film, whilst I started out with film and just recently digital.
My reaction to digital from film was overwhelming. The screen with the digital images straight from the SD card was mesmerizing! But after comparing both digital to film, digital seemed too perfect, still beautiful, and somewhat clinical. Film had more saturated colors, Kodak Ektar 100, while rendering the scenes easier on the eyes.
What is your stand on this multi format comparison...?
8:58 the color is so lovely! Now I want to shoot color plus
Also speaking of “success rate,” personally speaking, after I learned how shutter speed, aperture and film speed works, “success rate” started to go up a lot in terms of getting sharp and correctly exposed images
Yeah I noticed the same for myself too, but I'm still only at maybe 70%-80% - practice lays ahead I guess💪🏼🤗
I'd love to see your Film Scanning process. I'm sure i'm not the only one curious!
I was just about to comment this.
please!!
Please
Yes
Please dear god
