Film Photography at Golden Hour | Olympus Pen EE2 + Kodak Gold 200
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- Some film photography at golden hour. All photos shot on the Olympus Pen EE2 which is a 35mm half-frame camera using Kodak Gold 200. One of my favorite camera and film combinations, and works surprisingly well at sunrise and sunset. Kodak Portra 400 is a great film stock for these conditions, but sometimes a cheaper film like Kodak Gold 200 does the job just as well. Plenty more Melbourne photography videos coming soon, so stay tuned for those. Filmed on the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k (bmpcc 4k).

Killer b-roll, Ben, and some beautiful light! I have a little Konica C35 and you're making me want to take it out and feed some film through it-I look forward to making the time to go out and shoot for fun when I get the chance. Also, really enjoyed the diptych presentation of images at the end, can't wait to see your next video!
Thanks so much Eric! Was so nice getting outside and catching the sunset. Haha that’s an awesome camera man, a friend of mine just picked one up too. Ah cheers man, that was actually an idea of another friend so it was a joint effort hahah. Appreciate the comment man, have a good one. Cheers!
Great cinematic feel to your footage. Love the shot at 2:21 👍
Thanks so much Robert! Really appreciate it :)
Loving what that camera produces, looks super old school 👍🏻 great to have met you yesterday on the bus, enjoy your travels. Looking forward to seeing what you captured on the Leica 👍🏻👍🏻 all the best Ryan.
Thanks Ryan! It’s such a cool little camera very underrated. Very much appreciated the journey you took us on…can’t wait to show you what I made that day. Cheers!
@@bendroege Looking forward to what you created from the tour to Scotland dude :-) send it over when you are done. I am subscribed and have the bell on so hopefully should see when you upload.
Great video Ben, definitely liked the location shoot! What a beautiful park that looks like overlooking the city in the distance. Even though you had cloudless skies, looked like you had amazing light! Great images. Loved how a lot of your shots had 3/4 sky. Great contrast to your subject. Looks like a great little point and shoot camera, and double the exposures is a bonus! Loved the self portraits too! Hope you made doing well and stay safe!
Hey thanks so much Paul! Yeah same here, they're so much more fun than just doing an at-home video haha...glad covid is under control here once again. This spot gets the most amazing sunsets sometimes so had to make a video on it. I do apologise however, haven't had a chance to watch your recent uploads, been such a crazy week, but I'll get to them over the weekend! Thanks so much for watching Paul, have a good one. Cheers!
@@bendroege no apologies necessary, I appreciate your support as always! Thanks Ben!
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Loved the vibe of this one.
Thanks so much Tom! Really appreciate it man
Really enjoyed that Ben, beautiful tones in the shots. And the editing of your videos is great; nice length and enjoyable relaxing manner to it 👌
Thanks so much Rich! So glad you enjoyed. Cheers!
*Gorgeous photos obviously but also very impressed by the videography!*
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed
Such a good video man i was looking forward to this one and it didn't disappoint
Thanks so much Jack! Glad you enjoyed man, was such a nice sunset, hoping for many more over the months to come
I really enjoyed this video. I love the music choice and the way it was edited. Look forward to seeing more of ur content! subscribed immediately
Thanks so much! Planning on doing more of these types of videos in the future, so hopefully you’ll enjoy. Cheers!
1 Person who preferred Film Photography at Blue Hour disliked this video smh! 😭
But I love the cinematography in this George! Very nicely well done and super inspiring to see - keep these vids coming! 🙌🏿
Hahah bro so true, blue hour hits different 😂. Thanks so much man, so glad you enjoyed. Cheers!
I could never shoot a half frame camera. It already takes me forever to finish a 36 roll, lol.
Haha so true, it honestly took me 8 months to finish this roll - so ridiculous. Thanks for the comment!
Great Vlog Ben, really enjoyed this. The music, video, photos and overall vibe were perfect. Love the grading as well, awesome work all around man. The shot around 2 20 really stood out to me! Set at the end was great too, pretty sweet little camera.
Thanks so much Paul! Yeah it’s such a cool little camera to just throw in the pocket and take photos without thinking too hard. So glad you enjoyed! Planning on catching up on your recent videos over the weekend, been a hectic week 🥵. Appreciate the support as always Paul, have a good one. Cheers!
@@bendroege Aye no problem brother, I know how it is! Tough to keep up with everyone always haha!
Haha cheers Paul!
love your cinematic video. keep up the good work!
Thanks so much Nadia! Glad you enjoyed :)
Beautiful stuff here.

Thanks so much Rolando! So glad to hear it

Thanks so much Benny!
Ok you're making me consider half frame cameras now :O Great content and great video!
Thanks Andrew! They’re great little cameras for capturing those everyday moments...definitely recommend
what a great work dude🙌 sick haha✨
Thanks so much!
Keen for more 🧡🧡
Same bro, can't wait
Pretty good!! 🇧🇷
Thanks Gustavo!
Awesome video man, and great to see you out and about. The shots are sick, and love the look this camera produces! Might be a daft question, but why were all the shots in portrait?
Hey thanks so much Kieran! Was so great getting outside and making images, been such a long time haha. Ah the reason for that is because it’s a half frame camera, it’s natural orientation on the negative and viewfinder is in portrait, so I tend to just shoot it like that as it feels more true to the camera if that makes sense haha. Thanks for the comment man, have a great weekend!
Very cool channel Ban i love the golden hour keep going my friend i subscribed to you :D!
Thanks so much Oliver! I really appreciate it man, cheers!
Dope as intro brother i see you improving fast hahah so damn good
Haha thanks so much bro, really appreciate it!
Nice filmic video you need to bump the sound level up. It didn't come over well on my tablet. 🙂
Thanks Andrew! Yeah it’s a little soft, got some new mics so will be better in the future. Cheers!
great video man
Thanks bro!
Sick video bro
Thanks so much Michael!
I bought one of these in the summer and finished my first roll like a couple months ago. Took so long to finish haha. And I messed the roll up somehow. Everything came back fucked. But I shall try again. I really enjoyed trying to shoot and make interesting diptychs
Hahah legit, it takes ages to finish a roll. Oh man, that sucks, maybe the light meter is on the way out? Or could just be the film even, defs give it another go. Yeah diptychs are so much fun, such a unique way of making photos. Thanks so much for watching man, and for the comment too. Cheers!
@@bendroege hoping it’s not the light meter! I had so much fun shooting and composing. If the next couple rolls turn out shit I’ll def look into another one. You may have inspired me to come out of hibernation and post another vid soon haha. Take care bro!
Yeah man, just see how it goes and worst case can always pick another one up for a decent price. Haha that's awesome bro, can't wait to see your future videos. Have a great weekend man, cheers!
great video!! where do you get your music from?
Thank you! I was using Musicbed
Love the shots !, wish i know you when you were in Bali so i can come and shoot with you. are you using auto on every shots ?
Thank you!
Hi, I'm new to film photography and I recently bought an Olympus Pen EE2, any advise on how I can fully maximise its usage and the best films to use? Thank you! ✨.
Hey Bea! That's awesome, honestly with a camera as unique as this one it's all really about experimentation. I tend to just use cheaper film like kodak gold as sometimes the photos can be a bit hit and miss due to it having such a small lens and sensor. Black and white is also very very cool, and something I want to try more of in the future to. So I guess just try whatever you can get your hands on and you can't go wrong :)
Hi, can you share some tips when working with flash on this camera? thank you a lot
Good question...to be honest I've only used flash a little bit. Just make sure you set you aperture to a flash setting, and match it on the flash and youll get a good exposure. It's really about experimenting. I normally find f16 always works though
Interesting camera, I was browsing ebay recently as I have a small collection of old film cameras and there's still some real bargains to be had. The film however I see has got much more expensive than the last time I bought any (about 2-3 years ago) I thought the colour tones were great for shots that you took with it, did you do much in post or is that how it came out on the negatives? The mic was a bit quiet but I'm sure you know that.
Thanks so much Rob! Absolutely, there’s still a lot of great cameras that are very affordable, just have to find the right deal. Haha yeah unfortunately the prices are going up again which is so annoying, but I guess that’s inevitable. Ah cheers, I normally do a fair bit of post production, but this time all I did was drop the contrast and it was looking good. I think because it was sunset, the colours were already looking good. Ah yeah the mic was a shot gun mic haha which definitely wasn’t ideal, but I just bought some LAVs so next time it will be much better. Thanks for much for your support Rob, it’s always super appreciated. Cheers!
have you tried it with flash?
Sure have...it’s in this video :)
Where r you from in Australia
When you use Kodak 400, what setting did you use? The camera only has up to 200 iso
Hey Vy! That’s interesting as mine does go up to 400...but nevertheless if yours only goes to 200 then that’s fine as it will be +1 over exposed which is ideal for that stock anyways. With that said I wouldnt use a stock that has ISO 800 or more though
Great video 🌻 what lens do you use on the bmpcc4k ?
Thank you! We used Canon 24-70 2.8 L with a 1/4 promist
What do you use to edit the video with the photos on screen ? Looks great
Thank you! We used Davinci Resolve, but it can be done on any program. All you need is to do is put a black photo or colour matte on the timeline and drag your photos on
did u use auto or manual setting for those shoot?
All auto! I just set the ISO...when it got darker tho I had to use manual overide and set it to f3.5
lapel mic next time haha I have my studio speakers turned up and you are very very quiet.
Yesssir bought one the next day after recording this 😍
Did u overexpose the film or did u shoot at box speed?
Hey Paul! Yes sure did. Rated it at 100 ISO so +1 exp. Thanks for watching!
What is your camera settings? I also have the same olympus pen ee2 and I’m still experimenting.
Hey Gab! I just set my ASA/ISO to the film stock I'm using so normally 200 and let the camera do the rest. Quick tip...don't use a film higher than 800 ISO as the meter is capped at 400
@@bendroege oh nice i see, thank you 😊 😘
Great video man! Wish I could’ve subbed twice to get ya to 1k :)
Haha thanks so much Brian! Really appreciate the support man, cheers!
