Dude this video was seriously good! The stuff that is now being made by CineStill, Lomography, Adox, Silbersalz, and others is really giving me hope the world of analog photography is in good hands. I also feel fortunate that I still have a few rolls of Pro400H to play around with. Also, that photo at 1:17 is my favorite! Such nice shape and motion coming from those rocks in the foreground.
Just wanted to let you know, that I hate the notification bell option on UA-cam but you are my one exception, just activated it to never miss any of your videos. As always loving the quality and effort you put in every single shot, keep it up budd, love your channel and your shots!!
Please do more videos 🙏🙏🙏 Saw one of your videos while browsing through UA-cam and daaaamn. They are so well done! Like shit! You are really good at it. Like outstanding good! Like 30 year old champagne food! Like a really good original pizza Neapolitan good. Like the sip of water during the night good! Like… ok I think I made my point clear. What I would really like to see: -how to scan and edit your photos -more review on films - key to b&w photography - usage is filters like gnd - double exposure tutorial - how to focus, which aperture to use (like in landscape: when should I blur the foreground, when should I use f 16?) -composition -rules in photography and when to break I know there are already videos about that, but I want to see them your style.
I saw the dark slide and thought okay he just forgot to pull it for the B-roll. But you went back and reshot each shot? Damn man... just damn. Way to go.
dude, it's alright, I didn't notice anything, buttt the video was so satisfing and calming to watch because of the perfect quality, thank you for making this.
One of the many things I love about my Contax 645. The shutter will not fire with dark slide in place. That aside, really great video. Somehow I’ve missed your channel to date, but I’m now subscribed.
That’s also supposed to be the case with the mamiya so I’m wondering if something is not quite right on Cody’s. Mine doesn’t let me fire with the dark slide in and has saved me multiple times already.
Love this series! Thank you for this, and I hope these stock overviews keep coming. Especially admire the dedication to return and salvage the concept from the darkslide abyss (Mamiya SLR probs, amirite?). Just a heads up, I went to see if one of the images from this was in your linked print shop, but the link in the description is being redirected to a Darkroom login page.
Thank you, Stephen! Yes. This summer has been crazy busy but I'm definitely going to add another installment to the series here this fall! And thank you for pointing out the print shop link. The old print shop has been decommissioned. If there's a specific image you're interested in, DM me on Insta and I can facilitate a special order.
Just got my first medium format last month and half of the time during my first three rolls, I'd leave my dark slide on and forget to take them off. Haha! I feel your struggle. Awesome video! Thank you for the value you've put into these stuff. More power.
Amazing video dude! Not sure why your Mamiya is letting you release the shutter when the dark slide is still covering the film back. I also have a 645 pro TL and it doesn't let me do that, might want to get it checked out.
Couldn’t agree more. I don’t have a Mamiya but my other medium format cameras don’t allow the shutter to be fired with the slide in. These were only used by pros back in the day and that’s an unacceptable liability as a pro.
There's something really charming about going back to shoot all of these shots. I thought the lighting didn't quite match up and it all makes sense now!
Enjoyed this video, you have inspired me to go back to film. Going to buy the same model Nikormat I had in 1972. And will use Portra, Thanks for your inspiration.
Hey Cody, also just picked up a Mamiya 645 Super and on my model it doesn’t let me fire with the dark slide in. So not sure if you also have the Super or maybe the Pro or another Model and it’s different there. But it could also be that either the camera or film back has something going on. Not being able to fire with the dark slide in has already saved me several times. But besides that, I’m truly blown away by your videos. The production and dedication is next level!
Been there done that took 7 frames on my bronica of my granddaughter before i realized the dark slide was in. the roll only has 12 so i got 5 frames on that roll live & learn.
In terms of the professional stocks from Kodak, Ektar 100 is still around. While it’s not neutral and has some color casts and quirks, it’s the finest color negative film shock around and it’s perfect for the type of work you love to do, landscapes. While it’s funny that Kodak labeled it “professional” when it’s only because it’s now available in 120, Gold 200 in 120 is amazing. More saturated, but much more flexible than Ektar or it’s 35mm version since it seems to be a bit different. Gold is my favorite, and hip hip hooray because it’s still very affordable (might not be the case for too much longer)
There's only a few photographers I wanna meet, and you're one of the three lmao. I love your videos. Thank you for making content to keep me inspired at work so I can go out after and shoot myself 😅💞
Great video. As someone else already suggested, your camera may need to be serviced. Seems odd that a medium format camera would allow the shutter to be released when the dark slide is in.
Damn dude, you are talented. You and GXAce should team up. Two of the best compositional eyes on UA-cam. Plus, you're both film nerds :). Glad to see some Mamiya 7 love. I hope you get it back from the shop soon! Give the RZ67 + Zinstax back a try if you want something really different and enjoyable!
This is what me and Cody criticize about digital photography. You can't get Grainy shots at sunset with a digital camera. Just translates to digitization. Same goes with scanning and enlarging a photo with a digital scanner. You get digitization if you stretch it versus a clear image with a traditional photo enlarger. You get clarity. If you want to get grainy shots on portra 400. Just over expose at the 60th and 30th of a second and you have great contrast with beauo colors.
I have a 645 and it will not let me release the shutter if the dark slide is in place. Thanks for the great video. I really enjoyed it. I wonder why your setup allowed you to shoot those images with the slide in place?
It sounds like you have an issue with your mamiya 645/back the dark slide should block the shutter. It's been a while since I shot with mine but it was my first and I shot it a lot. I made the mistake of leaving the dark slide in a lot and always would be left wondering why the shutter wouldn't fire. Great video otherwise :) which lenses are you rocking on the 645? I like the 70mm a lot
Hey Cody! Loved the video! I really like your style of film photography. I'm really new to film and I was wondering if you are exposing for shadows or do you just take an overall meter of the scene and expose for that?
I'm amazed the shutter can be released with the dark slide in situ. It's not possible with a Hass 500c/m. Good effort for reshooting! I think Kodak Gold is now available in 120. Ektar is still available, too, I think.
Just discovered you and i am falling in love ! Thank men, you are an inspiration. Oh and a question : I own a olympus om2n for about 3 years and i am considering to buy a canon eos 3. Do you think its a good idea ? I am a student (in langages) so i dont have a lot of money but is the gap between this two camera very big ? Again love you men and keep going !!
Hey, Cody, If you don't mind me asking, were the pics shot on 120 from 4:03 to 4:11? 645 ? Thanks! Those are looking really nice, I didn't know 645 was capable of producing these high quality images.
Thanks Samuel! The photos were captured on the California coast, in an Arizona forest and at an Oregon lake, in respective order. They aren't all 645. The first one of the steering wheel is a 6x7, the next is 35mm and the third is 645. hope this helps!
@@Codacolor Incredible Cody! I definitely wasn't expecting this answer, but it does help. The first indeed looks the best in terms of image quality and resolution. But the 2nd one WOW 35mm film that's impressive!
Thanks so much! The meter I use is a Sekonic L-558I love it. If you want to see more of me using it in the field, check out my video "How to meter for film photography." Cheers!
Man, what an incredible video. Although I don't really shoot film myself, I keep coming back to your videos, mostly for the cinematography, if I'm being honest. Would you consider doing a video on your process? I understand that such "behind the scenes" content might fit better on your Patreon, but it's worth asking here anyway :) Also, kudos for not scrapping the entire video because of your mistake, it turned out amazing and I personally wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't addressed it!
My Hasselblad 503cx will not let you take a picture with the dark slide in or take the film back off when the dark slide is out. Kinda of handy.. GRINS
Hi Cody, it seems like UA-cam's algorithm was happy with me when I found your channel. I have a request to make, can you please make the images from this video to be available to download in best resolution possible...I would love to have them as wallpaper on my laptop. I will be waiting for your response 😄
The dedication to go back and reshoot at similar light is insane. I might have scrapped it all together if I made the mistake
I definitely had that thought, if only fit a moment
Dude this video was seriously good! The stuff that is now being made by CineStill, Lomography, Adox, Silbersalz, and others is really giving me hope the world of analog photography is in good hands. I also feel fortunate that I still have a few rolls of Pro400H to play around with. Also, that photo at 1:17 is my favorite! Such nice shape and motion coming from those rocks in the foreground.
I'm crossing my fingers! Thanks Reimann!
Just wanted to let you know, that I hate the notification bell option on UA-cam but you are my one exception, just activated it to never miss any of your videos. As always loving the quality and effort you put in every single shot, keep it up budd, love your channel and your shots!!
Honored to be the exception. Thanks a million, Alex!
notif gang too from now on I guess!
@@muris60 hell yeah!
Always shocked by the production value on these videos Cody 👍🏻
keep it up
Thanks friend!
Man it pains me to see how underrated you are ! Everything from the photos to video production is immaculate cody ! You deserve the world
Every time I'm amazed by your editing and production of these videos. You deserve more subscribers!
You're too kind Guillaume. Thank you!
@@Codacolor let me know if you ever get to Houston or Texas!
the production quality and the content is just so good! i can tell how much time you put into these. great video cody!!
I can’t compliment you enough mate, this video and the photos throughout are incredible! 🙌🏼
that intro was so slick! In fact, you're honestly amazing at the cinematography of these videos. Loved the bit on the bridge!
This deserves so much more views! Your channel is a true inspiration Cody ❤️
14:55 What? You are crazy! If this isn't dedication to your craft I don't know what is.
Looks like a nice life you've been living man, glad to see you killing it!
Thank you, brother!
The intro for this video hyped me up. Loved the combination of outdoors and film photography. Amazing work my dude ! 🫡
Thanks for another great video. Really appreciate your writing and dedication, going so far as to reshoot the photos at the same time of the day.
Please do more videos 🙏🙏🙏
Saw one of your videos while browsing through UA-cam and daaaamn. They are so well done! Like shit! You are really good at it. Like outstanding good! Like 30 year old champagne food! Like a really good original pizza Neapolitan good. Like the sip of water during the night good! Like… ok I think I made my point clear.
What I would really like to see:
-how to scan and edit your photos
-more review on films
- key to b&w photography
- usage is filters like gnd
- double exposure tutorial
- how to focus, which aperture to use (like in landscape: when should I blur the foreground, when should I use f 16?)
-composition
-rules in photography and when to break
I know there are already videos about that, but I want to see them your style.
Had a stressful week at work and not having a good day so I decided to watch some videos on youtube. Watched this and I feel much more relaxed. Subbed
I saw the dark slide and thought okay he just forgot to pull it for the B-roll. But you went back and reshot each shot? Damn man... just damn. Way to go.
Haha keen eye my friend!
dude, it's alright, I didn't notice anything, buttt the video was so satisfing and calming to watch because of the perfect quality, thank you for making this.
Brilliant vid. Such fantastic effort and production value - the results show!
12:08 - Don’t forget Ektar, that’s also a professional C41 stock
One of the many things I love about my Contax 645. The shutter will not fire with dark slide in place.
That aside, really great video. Somehow I’ve missed your channel to date, but I’m now subscribed.

The trampoline picture is so cool! Definitely going to use that one as inspo!
man, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL work, got me to subscribe after one video.
I love your picture from the peak at Newberry. Would love to see more from that trip. That lake holds a special place in my heart.
Love this series! Thank you for this, and I hope these stock overviews keep coming.

This guy is so under rated he has pro quality vids and awsome photo style keep up the work
Thank you! Much more to come!

YEAAARRRGHHHH NEW CODY VIDEO LETS GOOOOO

Love this series! Just shot my first two rolls of 120 film: 400H and Delta 3200! Wanna try Portra soon
Another banger of a video, always on point. Excited by your announcement to start posting more! looking forward to more incredible shots.
Thank you brother!
Dude. These photos are way too good! Love the video 🙌🏻
Excellent video and a lot of great shots taken! Keep it up bud!
Your pictures are AMAZING ! 😮
Thank you :)

That is dedication if I've ever seen it
So good colors
And may I say.. at risk of sacrilege. you are getting close to the Anthony Bourdain of film photography. Great stuff bro..
Beautiful video
Really looking forward to more from this series. Also it takes some real dedication to go back and reshoot everything lmao
i love everything you post
In terms of the professional stocks from Kodak, Ektar 100 is still around.

Just wanna let you know, that you and Brae are my favorite UA-camrs for Film Photography. I hope one day you’d get to collab with each other.
That sounds fun. Perhaps one day!
There's only a few photographers I wanna meet, and you're one of the three lmao. I love your videos. Thank you for making content to keep me inspired at work so I can go out after and shoot myself 😅💞
Honored to be up there, Billy. Perhaps one day!
@@Codacolor perhaps, but for now, thank you for the amazing content! ☺️

Really enjoyed that video Cody! Well done! And don’t sweat it, I shot a whole roll with the Mamiya 645 with the lens on “M” instead of “A” 😅
You are so talented ❤
That intro though!💯
Another great video! Love it
Artfully crafter video and excellent photography as always. Not C-41 but there’s always Ektachrome and to some extent, Provia…
its beautiful

Quality video Cody - but I have to say my 645 Pro TL will not allow me to take images when the darkslide is in...
Yeah, I'm realizing that mine isn't supposed to let that happen . . . :/
photography youtubers be uploading the most beautiful cinematic videos and only get 200 views

Amazed by the care taken with the cinematography too - how did you capture 6:38?
Thanks, Royston! and with lots of patience
so talented
If that intro is reality of owning medium format camera with porta 400 by your left hand I want one please!
Hey Cody! Loved the video! I really like your style of film photography. I'm really new to film and I was wondering if you are exposing for shadows or do you just take an overall meter of the scene and expose for that?
Welcome, Saul! I actually have a very comprehensive video breaking down exactly how I meter. It should answer any questions you have!
@@Codacolor Thank you!
I'm amazed the shutter can be released with the dark slide in situ. It's not possible with a Hass 500c/m.
Good effort for reshooting!

is there a term for porta ''you metered it brown''? sometimes it pops in my head, that there should be Xd
The good news is you had a chance to recompose with the van where you wanted it. :P
Very true!
I have a question. Is kodak 160 compatible if i use the reusable camera film? Like kodak cam or something similar
Whaaaaaaaat were those drums in the opening from? I gotta find that id.
My Hasselblad 503cx will not let you take a picture with the dark slide in or take the film back off when the dark slide is out. Kinda of handy.. GRINS
