Thanks so much for watching! If you'd like to keep up with my film photography, you can stalk me on Instagram: bit.ly/33LNEnz
Really nice photos! What is the camera strap that you are using? It is a nice compliment to your M6! 🔴 👍😎🇺🇸
As everyone else aready said, I loved this and everything about it, seeing the behind the scenes of the photo actually being taken and then to see it on fullscreen is so cool and youre so talented man. Would absolutely love more of this!
This was so relaxing to watch, nothing too complex. Loved it.
One of my favourite videos of yours I've gotta say! Loved the simplicity of just watching you take (beautiful) photos in a quiet little town, and the awesome music choices were a huge plus too. Would definitely love to see more of this.
Loved this, loved the music, loved the lighting, loved everything about it and loved the ending. Loving it still. Beautiful work, pls make more of these ❤
This was phenomenal my brother, you really went on a whole shooting spree and this was super pleasant and refreshing to watch! So many memories, thousands of words, legit art and creativity 👌🏽
Love that you're trying film photography, and it did inspire me. A lot of my friends shoot film and it looks so good! It's just so intimidating for me and shooting digital feels safe. Thanks for sharing this!
those photos be lookin' spiffy, floberger! also, tell editing eric that he has a great hat.
You gain way more by making mistakes and learning from them than always being the perfect photographer, keep having fun and laughing at the world cause that makes you awesome 😁👍🏻
Greetings from Chile!
I honestly love the colors that come out of film photography. and the edits you added to it just gave it more pop. you're so good. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Those are some amazing images! Seriously, well done.
Just picked up the Leica M3. Only been shooting film for about a year, but really enjoying the process. Chilling with my 1 year old while watching this. He was thoroughly entertained. Thanks, Eric!
Love the shots Eric! I learned photography on film at University and this video really makes me want to shoot film again. You're an inspiration dude!
The hat flip is real
Great video man. Always love everything you put out. Not only is your work beautiful and really inspiring, but your mindset and honesty are really refreshing to have here on UA-cam. Please don’t ever stop making videos! Or shooting film (I’ve totally shot on empty cameras before, no judgement haha)! Much love from CA.
Love the scenes!!
and great colours
I love these videos. I don’t shoot film photography myself, but really enjoy the calming vibes of watching you do it. Keep them coming!
Love this. I’ve got a 9 day trip coming up across Montana and Wyoming in October just shooting everything. I can’t wait.
Please more of this....love it!
Really glad you showed the editing process and how much you needed to do to bring the photos up to your own standards - it can be discouraging to shoot film and wonder why your scans didn't turn out perfect right away. Glad I saw your vid on my recommended!
Love the honesty . I too have shot a hole day only to discover that I had no film. The feeling is sickening. The same day I also opened up the back to discover that I haven't rewound the film yet! Talk about a bad day.
Such a good video! And its great to hear about the mistakes! With my m6 I’ve also thought I shot a roll to find out that it didn’t grab at the start! Frustrating in the moment but long term it’s all part of the fun! Thank you for sharing!
Loved this format and style of video!
This was beautiful. 🙌🏽
Loved everything about this!!! Yes, please share MORE film videos!! Thank you for always being so YOU!!! lol Always leave feeling so inspired to create after watching your videos!!!
Great words man. And the latitude of portra is insane. Overexpose a stop and even if you miss the metering it’s still gonna look great. After I learned that I never worried about it again
this video made me happy :) Love the pictures man!
So good to watch and what a great eye you have for seeing the shots to capture
I know I'm late with this and others have probably said similar, but something I learned as a kid shooting film was to get into the habit of gently swiping my left thumb across the rewind knob until I feel a little tension from the film. It also takes out enough slack so that I can be sure the knob will visibly spin when I advance the film, for extra assurance. I always do this when picking up a camera that's been sitting for any period, but even after that initial check I'll probably check a couple more times throughout my use of it just to make sure everything feels as expected and there are no surprises. I took a decade away from film, and now have returned to only occasional shooting of it, but it's still muscle memory for my thumb: if I'm holding a 35mm film camera, my thumb will check to see if the rewind has tension or if it's free-spinning. I also automatically check a camera this way before opening it, never making an assumption about whether it's loaded or not.
I never deploy the rewind lever to do this, or actually grab the knob; I don't want to pull hard on the sprocket holes or gearing. I just brush the knob to verify that there's film tension.
I think these are the kinds of handy little tips that get lost nowadays because people picking up film in the digital era tend to be kind of learning it by word of mouth from other people just picking it up, whereas during the film era we usually learned from someone older who'd been shooting for decades and had established habits to pass along.
Love this one. Love the transparency to at the end. Do more film videos.
Thanks for making this vid dude! Loved following along. You and Benj are making me want to buy an M6!! 😂
Love the video dude! Great song selection!
More, Eric, MOAR
Beautiful series of photos, I like to see the small towns and big sceneries. I like the photo at 6:39 a lot, I like the light on the tree.
Continue to inspire us :) Thank you!
I also just got this lens and a Leica M2. Love it to death. And also man, I've shot a empty camera before too. On a wonderful family moment no less. Made me wanna throw up that I couldn't obviously feel nothing advancing inside. Totally felt you there.
The hipsterest video I've seen this year!
Looks super fun :)
Hey man, this video and those photos were gorgeous. Please, shoot more of these kinds of videos!!
Gorgeous photos, love the homey feel of the video too. One of the cool things about being a photographer is being able to casually say something like, "we just shot an elopement" lol. Great work!
Awesome. Never been to Wyoming but it looks beautiful.
This has been my combo for 5 years now. Can’t afford the Leica 35 lux. But pretty happy with the Voigtlander. Great images 😊
That post office photo is such a banger!
I'm really glad I found your channel. Found it by suggestions anddd... your music caught me on.
photography channel with awesome music taste. gosh.
you are the first that have that. and I am sticking with you for sure.
you broke the streak wohooo!
I. Need. A. Leica.
Dude, insane video as always! Love your stuff! Don't ever change!
1 second in and I’m loving it!♥️
Amazing video! Smooth photos!
Lovely. Great work man
Aw man my stomach sunk when there was no film in the camera! I’ve started obsessively watching the rewind lever for at least the first 10 shots. It makes me feel better ever time I see it spin while I advance the film. I haven’t had any issues since I started doing this. I hope this helps someone!
Born and raised in central Wyoming, Glad you enjoyed your time in the state! While the state is mostly empty and boring, when you get THAT ONE SHOT, it will stick with you forever. Also the Wyoming sunset will knock your socks off
Love these videos inspires me to take my camera out with me more 👌🏻👌🏻
I really the editing of this video. Watched many times already.
I just searched “Leica m6” on UA-cam out of curiosity and was overjoyed that this was the first hit.
ah!! What's up, Stephen?! Miss you, man!
Great vid dude, literally looking to get the exact same set up. Did you meter with the in built light meter?
That post office shot is sweet!
I like your eye for composition, light and color 👍🏻
Wyoming is my favorite place to photograph!
Great photos. Shot at 6.29 is my fave.
I have definitely shot an invisible roll of film before. Cheers dude!
The music in this video is on point, and the photos were absolutely stunning! Low key one of most soothing photo videos in a while haha!
Man.. love these shot, wanna try out some 35mm focal length! You need a photomemo book to keep track of the rolls you load tho 😅
East coaster here. Subscribed. Always wanted to visit Wyoming. Coming from an extremely densely populated state, the wide open vistas and sparsity of population of states like Montana and Wyoming appeal to me.
Keep shooting film!
Fantastic Job. Just bought a used Hasselblad Medium Format film camera and can wait to put it through its paces. Your video is inspirational.
Thats beautiful man!
Oh man, sorry for your not existing roll. But after all even that's the reason why we love to shoot film:) Very happy for your shot with the man entering the post office
Just Great!
Amazing shots
The heck man! You were in my hood!
Great video.
please make more videos like this. I really enjoyed it.
Love the vid and pics! I second the requests for the make/model on the square hood being used here.
It looks like the Haoge LH-ZV02 Bayonet Metal Square Lens Hood, which fits the Voigtlander Nokton Classic 35mm f1.4 VM.... I picked mine up from Amazon..
Tip: check the rewind crank to confirm not only if there is film in there, but it has also caught on so you don't have to waste 3 shots at the start confirming the film has been properly installed as the M6 has a quick load mechanism.
Nice video man, really enjoyed it .
Wholesome.
it really was a vibe great video
I’ve had my M6 for four years now. And I have had a few issues loading it too. I found that if you advance the first frame quickly, that usually prevents the issues. On my camera, if the first frame is advanced slowly, that’s when the film leader slips out of the fork/claw.
So good to know! Thanks, Zach!
It was really cool to hear your experience w/ the disappointment with scans. For a lot of people, shooting film is sort of a solitary thing because most aren't really involved in the "artistic" pursuit of it in 2020. But receiving bad scans when you know the shot is good, and the film is good, can be super disheartening.
Also, re: vignetting on the 35; yeah, it does that. Overexposing by a couple of stops helps mitigate it so that it's more easily rectifiable in post, but it's still a PITA. Though for the money, it can't be beat.
All around, really enjoyed this video. Good stuff.
Hey man. Dont be discouraged about the film. I did this on a job. Twice! I love that you pushed through the difficulty. That's where I struggle with my content. Peace bro.
do be?
Buchanan Winchester Sorry don’t
Been there done that on the phantom roll... Tip: The rewind knob will rotate when you advance the film IF there's film in the camera! ;-) Make a habit of checking the rotation (or lack thereof) of the rewind knob as you start shooting... you'll know immediately whether there's film in the camera or not at that moment and save yourself 24-36 lost captures. Good luck!!
Really nice photographs 👍
Hey :) very nice video and photos. I saw how you load the film in the m6 and if I remember correctly the way you are doing it is not as the instruction manual describes it. The bottom base plate is designed in a way that you do not need to align the holes of the film. Just put the film in and be sure that the other end of the film sits between the triangle things (on the right side). Then just close the bottom. The design of the base plate places the film in a perfect way.
Great video, been shooting with my M6 for a couple months now started with a Voigtlander 50mm lens then upgraded to the Zeiss Biogon 35mm, way more happy with it now. Did you ever figure out the deal with the scans, what might have caused that issue? I feel like this happens to me at times.
Wonder that too
Dope! 🤙🏽
flipping your snapback backwards to take a pic. I can relate to that. haha
Live and learn! I’m on my first roll of Tmax100 on my Minolta 35IIB w/Rokkor 50/f1.8...still have a few shots left but apprehensive about the results😬.
Hoping to go to college in Wyoming, u definitely show off it’s beauty here! ❤️
hey man, what lens hood are you using on the lens. I am looking for one for my same lens and love the look of the square one you have
Very nice colours😊
That retro look frim the film is very beautiful
Hi Eric, the Voigtlander 35mm f1.4 is known to show some vignetting. It's all part and parcel of it being a more characterful lens. Also when loading your film there is no need to push the film down into the camera with your fingers. Draw the leader into position on the take up spool, push the canister firmly into place and then use the rewind crank to tension the film. Then put the bottom of the camera back and the little plastic ring device will push the film down into the correct position. Then just watch the rewind crank to make sure that it rotates as you advance the film. This way you should always get an extra couple of shots on each roll of film! I'm not one of those Internet trolls who claims to know everything, just hoping to encourage you to trust your gear to work as it was designed to work.
Like the look of the shots, too. So my next lens should be the summicron 50mm 2.0. I know everyone hates talking about gear bla bla bla, "start with the camera and lens that you have or own and stuff - be pleased what you already have") but I think that's the fun side of all this film photography thing, watching out for new gear and trying it out. Saving money for it and having this thrill of anticipation when you finally can buy it. Woup whoop.
I usually find these video's so boring and hard to watch in spite of having a passion for film. It's hard for me to like people's framing and all, usuallyyyy, that is. But your framing and scans are on point with my portra rolls, which is refreshing to see, especially a video of it on UA-cam. My set up back when I was shooting a lot was an M5 with a voigtlander 35mm 1.4 mc, it had a pretty bad light leak that was a hefty repair price so I let that setup go. I now replaced it with an m2 and 35 1.4 mc v2. I swear those voigtlander 35 1.4 lens are an underrated piece of art. My favorite lens that I'll probably never replace. Thanks for a great video upload again, be safe and take care!
Thanks so much, man! Means a lot!
@@EricFloberg For sure! Is that the 3D printed square hood on your voigtlander?
@@bo_norris Honestly have no idea. Got it off Amazon and it's metal
@@EricFloberg Oh okay, then definitely not. It's kind of tough finding a square metal hood for this lens imo. Especially with the cutout for the viewfinder. My original voigtlander that I had on my m5 already had a 3D printed square hood on it from the previous owner, but this time around I voigtlander a brand new lens and I'm still looking for a hood to throw on it. Trying to stick to square hoods, they just look better imo. Especially when they're metal! Hahah.
I felt 400 is more suitble for medium format, while 160 works wonders on 35mm. I have tried a few rolls of both and found I prefer the finer grain on 160. 400's grain might be smooth, but on 35mm I still think it's a bit too much.
When you mix filmmaking and photowalks together you have a v enjoyable video. Also you’re not doing my bank account any good using this camera lol
hahaha thanks, Thomas! Yeah, I'm lucky to have gotten it for much less 3 years ago..such a popular camera now!
2 minutes in, already loving and living it 🌟
Ah, thanks so much!!
this was sick! My favorite shot was of the post office with the guy going in. Great job man
Thanks so much!!
Do you overexpose your shots with the portra? If so, by how many stops?
Eric, Wonderful video as I am looking at purchasing an M6 TTL and this exact lens. What aftermarket hood are you using on the lens as that is not the circular Voigtlander hood? Thanks.
beautiful
I made exactly the same mistake with no film inside. Understand your pain man :D
Lovely shots and video!
Great stuff man! Matt day sent me!
For sure inspired me to just go out and take pics because I have taken photos like these and others don’t like it as much but I do so I shall
Keep going out and practicing! The only way to get better is to repeat it over and over, and learn from your mistakes! We're all on our way to being better. :).
