      Hello @ZoaLove 🤩
      Thank you for your comment and for watching my video🎥
      That's right! It was a real marathon!😄I spent 1-2 days in each city/country! It was quite fun (but sooo tiring 🥵). A few months ago I did the same thing in some cities in Morocco but this time by train 😂I'll share the video of that adventure next week! 🐪Stay tuned!🙌

    I did a toss trip to Europe in the 1980's I shot 56 rolls of film but I hot to photograph things you can no longer photograph mainly the Sistine Chaple. It was a trip to remember. I started in England, took ferry to France, toured Paris , Nice , Monaco, Rome , Florence , Piza, Venice , Switzerland, Austria, Germany , Holland and back to London where I Spent a week taking in the sites I used two camera bodies one with ASA 200 Film and one with ASA 1600 film for low light

      Wow @scrptwic🤩 What an incredible trip!👌
      It must have been an amazing and adventurous experience, no doubt! You must have some incredible photos from that journey! Which countries did you enjoy visiting the most? 🎞Back then, you probably didn't have to worry about airport scanners like we do today 😅(in Portugal, they usually don't make it easy).Thanks for sharing 🤩🎞📷

    Hi! Great photos! I have a question. Just bought my Kodak Ektar H35N. Just curious, how did you protect your film during airport x-ray scans? Any tips? Thank you so much! 😊

    • @hunkofplastic
      @hunkofplastic  4 місяці тому +1

      Hello!! 🤩Great question! 👌
      It's really important to check the rules and permissions required in each country and airport because not all of them allow hand-checking your film. 🙈
      Generally, European airports permit it, except in Portugal (Lisbon and Porto airports). In Portugal, it's mandatory for films to go through the X-ray machines at security😓👮On my last trip, I asked a security officer at Porto airport why hand-checking wasn’t allowed, and he explained that the scanners they use don’t damage films up to 800 ISO. I’m not sure if that’s true, but since I live in Portugal, unfortunately, all my films have to go through the airport X-ray scans, and I’ve never noticed any issues! 🎞📷
      I know it’s possible to get a hand-check, but you need to request authorization and fill out a form (search on Google for "Portuguese Civil Aviation Authority"). The response takes over two weeks, so make sure to apply in advance! I hope this helps!😊🎞📷

      Hey! Thank you so much! It was an unforgettable trip, and it was very funny to document the journey in analog photography🤩🎞📷 I had never done anything like that before! I think it was the first time I tried so many different rolls in such a short time! 😂💸In this case, it was great to have a half-frame camera because I managed to take twice as many photos (instead of 36, I took 72 per roll)! 🙈

    Wow, these turned out so well!! Did you edit them afterwards or is this how they looked like after developing? I have the same camera and my pictures look way less “warm” and “yellow”, and are very overexposured. I did use the flash even when I was shooting outdoors, maybe I shouldn’t do that.Do you have any tips for me?

      About your question: I very rarely use the flash because most of my photos are taken during the day (especially in the late afternoon because I love the tone of the sunset light). 📷I usually only use the flash for indoor or night shots, but I don't really like the results, so as I mentioned, I avoid it as much as possible! 😁I hope this helps you!

      Well, I very rarely use the flash because most of my photos are taken during the day (especially in the late afternoon because I love the tone of the sunset light). I usually only use the flash for indoor or night shots, but I don't really like the results, so as I mentioned, I avoid it as much as possible! 😁 It's not that the photos turn out bad, but I just don't appreciate photos taken with flash as much because the light indoors tends to be less natural. That's the only reason why I prefer photos taken with natural sunlight! Thank you for watching my video!🙏📷

      When you shoot snow photos always overexpose otherwise the snow will come out dark and kind of muddy looking due to cameras metering 18% grey
