Watching this video, I had what might or might not be a good idea. Find a way to strap a small bean bag to the back of your camera hand, or perhaps to the outside of your forearm. That way you could prop against something solid to steady your hand for slow shutter speeds while still having some freedom of movement to get the angle correct. I haven’t tried it, so I’m just speculating.
I use a monopod. As it’s collapsible, I often use it “short”. It hangs down under the camera, and gives it a few stops of added inertia. Works like the stabilising rods on competition bows. It’s actually better than fully extended and touching the ground, where there is a risk of undamped lateral rotation.
What a Great Video!!! I pretty much shoot at 1/125th for hand-held shots and never thought about using slower shutter speeds. Thanks for the tip and the examples!
Great video I forget a lot about those shutter speed techniques and twisting motions. The other day I bought slow film 12 ISO and it pushed me to think differently when shooting. It made shooting fun again
I discovered your channel recently (I live in the US) and in this one, smiled when I saw you using what we American Nikon shooters knew as the N90s. I owned two of those cameras with the grip back in the late 1990s, and before I purchased my first F100 (and later an F5). I am re-living and re-learning a love of B & W film photography in great part due to your channel. I especially enjoy that you keep your content both fresh and timely for people who a) may have never shot film before digital and b) those of us who did and are now returning to it out of the pure love of slower, more deliberate photography. Well done, as always!
Just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration in terms of the darkroom work - I got an elarger, paper, red light, trays, tongs etc. this week and have been doing some prints. Watching you for the past while really made me want to try it. It's a totally different side of photography and lots of fun. It's interesting to see the difference between digital scan/prints vs darkroom prints.
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss Definitely. I'm keen on testing out the zone system - Will have to go back to your video on that one and give it a go. For now, I only did some straight prints as a test to see if I understood the basics and so far so good, but have ordered some contrast filters already. Hopefully I'l be able to translate the "vision" into prints from next weekend. Just need to get the shed back from the kids now to get a permanent setup...
Some lovely work, Roger. As for me, I have not been myself for a couple of weeks. No enthisiasm for photography. My mind is on my people 3000 miles away, whom are fighting and dying for their freedom. Take care my friend.
I got a kick out of seeing your face on the bus with your logo and SUBSCRIBE in bold letters. Following you inspired me to start making my own black and white prints. Keep up the great content.
Great video, Roger, you're spot on! So was that gentleman speaking about losing interest when going digital, been there! I don't understand why people buy all of that 400 ISO film, and then they complain over that they can't shoot wide open, or at long shutter speed. I mainly use 50 or 100 ISO film, the digitals are set to 100, and I mostly shoot all manual.
Great and interesting video, always good to try something different when you get stuck in a rut, there are many fun and creative options with photography to try.
Inspiring. For the panning, though, I use a faster shutter speed, maybe 1/100 or 1/125, and move tightly with the moving vehicle so the vehicle is sharp and the background blurred. Some years ago I did this with tanks, armoured cars and motorcycles that suddenly appeared passing my flat in Paris early one morning. I didn’t know that was a special route to a military parade-it could have been a coup d’état and as I had film in my M3 I didn’t want to miss a shot so metered, set aperture and shutter speed, and ran into the road, then kept focusing on the soldiers’ faces and clicking. Every one came out perfect.
hello, greetings from Argentina, thanks for the info on the cover photo of the oasis album, well I thought the other day looking at it how they would have done it, I'm going to put it into practice!!!! cheers
Once again, great video. I've been shooting colour for a while now, but I think I'll go out with some FP4 in the Rolleicord on an overcast day and get some blurry motion shots. The "twist" thing is something I've been meaning to experiment with but never got round to. One of my favourites is American photographer Michael Lavine's shot of Nirvana on the inside cover of Nevermind. Call me old-fashioned, but I think that when rock photographers all went digital, rock stars lost a lot of their mystique.
You can see what settings the photographer used for the Oasis album in the film border - 1 second shutter speed would hopefully have been intentional haha
It's been a while since I've done anything with slower speeds- except when the light dictates. I may take this as inspiration to do some longer exposures- maybe even proper long exposures with the NDs.
Just watched the video again have to admit I really enjoyed it sometimes we forget the simple thing can produce some stunning images thanks for the inspiration I think we can over complicate things by over thinking what we are shooting looks like you have a fun shoot 👍🏻
I unclip one end of my camera strap and let it hand down on the ground. I step on that ground end and then pulll up. I gives a little stability like a monopod. Not as good but better than nothing.
I think movement at slower shutter speeds does depend on how fast the subject is moving but for any given speed the effect is greater the closer the moving subject is to camera? BTW how's the F90x going for you?
I think you're right Tony. My closer shots looked more effective. The f90x has been a good camera over the years. I had to keep turning it off and on to change the shutter. But I think that's batteries playing up
I do love my f90x don’t use it as much as I like as I tend to reach for my F100 or F3 beautiful images as usual the film held up really well considering it’s expired
The thumbnail was shot after shooting the MP for the 2nd roll I shot. Made more sense than a digital display from the f90x. Last video, London, featured the MP being used. Nikon f90x is the nuts!
As Dane said. The negatives are now filed and I have photos of that new bus station being built, local busker, my mate Raj, a video for the channel and above all a good time shooting film.

@@timwalker6790 That's brilliant! I may have to borrow that technique :)
I love how you put the subscribe banner as an ad on the bus at 2:01. Cheers mate and keep up the amazing work!
1:54 pretty slick ad on the bus lol. Nice.
Haha the two minute in bus advert! 😆
You got a surprise for me at 2:14! Jehovah's Witnesses by the carts 😊 That's lovely! Made my day 👍🏻
What a Great Video!!! I pretty much shoot at 1/125th for hand-held shots and never thought about using slower shutter speeds. Thanks for the tip and the examples!
I don't often go slower than 1/125 either unless I need to for light or for some movement.
slow shutter speed and analog photography the best way to relax and return to love the photography. great video !!!!!
1:33 LOL, the poster on the bus, best easter egg on the channel :)
Great video I forget a lot about those shutter speed techniques and twisting motions. The other day I bought slow film 12 ISO and it pushed me to think differently when shooting. It made shooting fun again

Thanks Paul. Yes good camera the 90. I had to rub all that sticky stuff off the back of mine.
The coat lady, I thought she was going to fly away like marry poppins. 😆 🤣 Nice shutter exercise Roger! 🍻

@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss Thank you.
This was the video i needed! Things have been dead slow and stop with me at the minute, thanks for the inspiration mate great video
Fame at last Roger! spotted the ad on the side of the bus.. you must be a local celebrity....lol great video as usual

Thanks Lee.
Cool, but I really thought that the Royal Mail van would have have been tack sharp at that shutter speed.
Haha loved the SFLAB subscribe ad on the side of the bus, nice touch 👌
Really nice pictures! Thank you for the inspiration. I have to try that.

I've come unstuck sometimes loading 400 and then the sun comes out half way through the roll! Lol
i like the bus ad in the background xD

Exactly Will.
I saw this one before but only remembered when I saw the lady with the flapping coat 😂📷👍
Ha ha she thought I was mad
The shots of the coat in the wind are awesome. Inspired me to shoot 35mm more. Hard but not impossible with medium format. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Many thanks for the video!
Thanks for this m8!! I'm in a bit of a rut at the moment! This looks like fun 🙂
Inspiring! Not gonna lie. Thanks for this!

Awesome Ken. It certainly is a field where you need to practice a lot. Those speeds sound plausible.
hahahaha i love your SFLAB party asking for ... subscription :-)
You advertising on a bus ? Great video Roger. KB

Agree, I can get lots of group of people (4, 5 people) ideas from album covers of the 60's, 70's and 80's
You can see what settings the photographer used for the Oasis album in the film border - 1 second shutter speed would hopefully have been intentional haha
The F90X is a nice bit of kit. I had one many years ago.

Cheers Jonny. It's raining today. Not sure I'll shoot anything
Great video!
Hi, what tripod did you use at the beginning of this video, when you shoot rocks into the sea?
That was a K&F Concept Tripod.
I unclip one end of my camera strap and let it hand down on the ground. I step on that ground end and then pulll up. I gives a little stability like a monopod. Not as good but better than nothing.
I do similar by pulling the strap against my neck... When I use a strap that is
Yay the F90X again ☺️💪
Still going strong. Needed new batteries
Had mine out this weekend as well. It's the camera that brought me to your channel 💪
Nice episode.
Nice presentation
Thanks Michael
the bus advert ha ha
Thanks

@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss Love this vlog man. Inspirational
Makes me wanna try APX 100
Was that. Nikon F100 you had in your hands ?
F90X
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss yep that is what I said a Nikon😂
In my old age, I won't go below 1/60th anymore!!! I used to be able to do 1/15 about 40 years ago!!!
Well I tell you what Brian. Even I was surprised with some shake at 1/15th... Never used to I don't think lol. Maybe time for me to be at minimum 1/30
....the great shutter speed of photo inertia shutter speed on a manual camera hand held versus who needs digital stabilization
Not been out much with my cameras since the 40* heatwave, must get out and do some 😊
Yeah that was too hot for me also!
was in ventnor!
Ryde
Lbc radio isn't going to like that 🤫 lol 😁👍
why is there a photo of you on the side of the bus at 1:33
I don't know. I've written to the bus depo
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss haha. That's some professional editing there.
“...modern cameras” !?
Anyone else notice at 1:50?
nice video, you are always a bit to early, speedy fingers 😂
hover craft pilots ..ex fighter plots ...
Are they?... Never knew that
I do love my f90x don’t use it as much as I like as I tend to reach for my F100 or F3 beautiful images as usual the film held up really well considering it’s expired
You bait and switched us, bro! I was expecting to see the camera in the thumbnail but only see a shitty Nikon. ;)
The thumbnail was shot after shooting the MP for the 2nd roll I shot. Made more sense than a digital display from the f90x. Last video, London, featured the MP being used. Nikon f90x is the nuts!
whats this lalo schiffrin music ..too much on this episode
Should have been very low and subtle Nicholas. Cheers for the feedback
Sorry, but what a waste
If you like your hobby and the results, it's never a waste.
