  • Stepping out of my comfort zone & learning how to shoot film was something I’ve always put off, until today. In this video I bring you behind the scenes into my very first shoot with film! From out of focus photos to unintentional light leaks… I share with you my thoughts on the entire process. Hope you enjoy the end results✨

    I love shooting film because I can really appreciate the art and REALLY appreciate the process. From manually controlling the shutter, aperture, iso. Loading and unloading the film cartridge, and developing it.
    It’s a breath of fresh air when shooting with film as opposed to digital.
    Generally shooting film makes me appreciate the art of photography WAY MORE

  • @jackpinder4453
    @jackpinder4453 4 роки тому +3

    I doubt Brandon will see this but the reason he got those "light leaks" from that roll is because he was shooting a roll of film called CineStill. The green and red style you see with the red kind of haze around the frame is what CineStill is known for and why people buy it and shoot it :)

    i started shooting film almost 2 years ago now and even though i only use a point-and-shoot i found at a thrift store (because cameras are damn expensive), i've begun to love the process more than digital. it gets me to slow done in my photography and focus on quality over quantity. it's also very therapeutic as you get used to taking imperfect photos and accepting things as they are. i'm excited you've started to try it !! welcome to the club :)

It’s cool that some of these lenses and cameras can still shoot today and are readily available at a fraction of what digital costs nowadays. And imo, post better photos after development. Congrats on all that gear and can’t wait to see more!

    I'd love to see more! I shoot digital but I I took a class on b&w film photography over the past few months and I loved it. I liked how raw it was in loading the film, developing it and printing it, all from my hand. It certainly has the feel of "I made this, through and through, with no digital third party " something like that. I'd love to try color film soon

  • @leeo.alexander2324
    @leeo.alexander2324 4 роки тому +1

    Brandon,
    I don't do photography as a professional. But you have hit on a basic principle that I have attempted to invoke in our photography club. That is to be intentional when you shoot. This will cause you to slow down and have more focus on what you are shooting. B/W shooting to include development is what I cut my teeth on while stationed in Germany (1976-1980). Film is a tool that will help in your photography discipline. Transfer that process to your digital shooting you will surely see a difference in your images that you capture. You did a great job stepping out of your comfort zone and I hope you will keep up the good work.

    I started in film with a Canon EX from 1975 in the 90s. I have a love for both film and digital for totally different reasons. I feel you on the gear aspect. It’s not what you have, it’s how you are using it. I think it's all about training your eyes and being a visual fortune teller, seeing the shot before it's taken.

    I’ve been shooting 90% percent of my Portrait work on film for the last 3 years. If you’re interested my whole channel is about shoot on film.
    Your camera just needs the light seals replaces to stop those light leaks. Also, Portra 800 looks a lot better if you meter it at 400 or 200 iso and then develop it at 800. Because it’s an older formula than new Portra (160 & 400) it eats a lot of light.

    Like you (my idol), I've been shooting digital for quite sometime and you've been an inspiration with my portrait shoots. Recently I bought my first film camera which is a Canonet QL17 and started to shoot film. It's so nostalgic and the output are so classic. Now, I bought a new vintage camera, a Canon AE-1 and I am way too excited to use it for my 3rd roll of film 😁 Thanks for inspiring us Brandon! Godbless you more!

    Congrats! Second roll looked really good. Shooting film, especially if you learned on digital, is an awesome and humbling experience. I think EVERY photographer should own a film camera and use it, even if its just an instant film camera. Shooting film really forces you to think about each shot and take photographs, rather than taking hundreds of digital snapshots. It also forces you to learn the basics because you cant just fix it in post as so many lazy digital "photographers" tend to do. experiment more with that Nikon and then when you are ready for some real fun, look at some medium format film cameras. There is nothing quite like looking thru a waist level viewfinder of something like a Hasselblad 500 C/M, its truly a unique experience that makes you feel closer to your photos. The Mamiya RB67 and the Pentax 67 II are also fantastic medium format film cameras. Enjoy.

    I took film photo classes in high school and college, developing your own film and making your own prints are the best. Makes you really appreciate photoshop, I think you would enjoy physically dodging and burning your images. Not to mention all the other techniques there are for film prints. I also think you would take some amazing double exposed images, give that a shot next time you pick up that film camera! But yea, I highly recommend jumping in a real darkroom and testing out techniques that became staples for digital post production nowadays

    'Never let your gear define your work...' yeah that's true... And you just need to have that passion in yourself.... To prove that point i shoot portraits and other pictures with mobile phone and edit them... And sometimes friends can't tell what it has been clicked with.... Btw i am a VFX student too but loving the photography thing....❤️❤️

    it looks like your camera has a
    light input, that's why there's red in your frames. I have that issue on one of my gears and i love the results! keep shooting on film! ♥

      Nikon EM is kind of famous because of light leaks, you can fix that by adding tape on the back cover
