Thanks so much for watching and the kind comments! Especially coming from someone with so much shooting experience. I wish a lot of those film stocks were still available. Some of them are getting harder to find. Thanks again for watching.

Haha I mean they are delicious but might take a day to recover 🌮

Thanks for watching! I haven't personally shot Ultramax during the fall yet but planning to this year. I'm sure with it's warmth and saturation it would make a great one to shoot during autumn.

Thanks for watching and glad you found the tips helpful! Yeah I do sometimes bring my Fuji digital cameras with me when shooting at night just to compare and check what the meter on a digital camera says. The only issue really is how light affects film vs a sensor and how reciprocity affects it. I tend to go with the mentality that more light is better especially on color negative because a lack of light on the negative equals less or no information. Hope you get some great captures!

@@NathanTrimbach Thanks nathan!

Thanks for watching! Glad you found my techniques helpful. That's a great collection of film! I hope they are in great condition. I've shot some of the Fuji NPS which I think is the earlier version of the Pro 160S and loved it during autumn. Yeah 800 speed is great if you want to do handheld, but limited to the available light. I really enjoy the looks you get from tripod shooting more. Lots of great tripod options out there! Let me know how your night shooting goes.

Yeah that was a typo / brain fart! Thanks for watching.

Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words especially from someone who has so much experience shooting.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

Wow thank you so much for your kind comments! Thanks for watching. 1. I appreciate that so much! Glad you found it helpful 2. Haha I do the breath in technique on lower shutter speeds but TBH I don't like going below 1/30 for hand held. I would say 80% of my night photography is on a tripod though. 3. Thank you! I'd say I fortunately had a lot of trial and error on digital first before trying on film so I had a solid understanding of metering. I def don't like wasting shots!

Yep I meant to say/write SLR and made a brain fart. That approach might work for bright light sources like fireworks, lightning. But if you want precision a light meter is key.

I just noticed the second half of your question. I have had one of my N80s do this. Seemed like a shutter problem or maybe a double exposure error? TBH I have owned multiple of those bodies in the last decade since I can usually pick one up for less than $100. I currently own 3 so I can have different film stocks in or do my comparisons.

Yeah if I'm going for a brighter image I'm going for a Zone 7 or 8. If I'm going for a darker image a 3 or 4. Drop off into the shadows is much faster at night. Also depends on if it's color negative or slide film. Sometimes I bracket more half stops brighter with color negative vs slide there's less forgiveness but more overall reciprocity to deal with.

Thanks for watching! It sure was!

Thanks Gabriel! haha I highly recommend. Just editing the video made me want to go back again!

I also gravitate towards bolder colors. I always love how Ektar turns out and Ultramax is my favorite consumer film. But sometimes the look of Gold or Portra has a more "traditional" film look. I can never decide on just one haha. Thanks for watching!

@@NathanTrimbach it’s all about the occasion or the assignment.

Wow thank you for the compliment! Glad you found the video useful! One of my favorite things about photography is I feel like I’m always learning or relearning. It’s an endlessly interesting art form.

Yeah....focusing on the XA is not easy especially at night. The rangefinder patch isn't super bright. The cheat code is to set it to the focus on the orange 8 and the aperture at orange f5.6 (if it's light enough). That should get most things in focus (unless close up). TBH I ended up selling my Olympus XA to get the Olympus XA2. It uses 3 scale focus settings and ends up being a much simpler camera to use rather than constant fiddling around. Overall, a camera with more controls is going to be best for night.

Great to see love from Minnesota! Thanks for watching

Haha yeah I think it can become second nature. Sometimes I’m slow and meticulous especially with slide film but with color negative I tend to shoot a little looser. Oh nice! How is that camera? I’ve thought about getting the 6x9 version with removable lenses but have heard it’s very heavy. The GW690 is pretty light for that large of a negative compared to say a Pentax 67 or RB67. Thanks for watching!

@@NathanTrimbach it weighs almost 1800 grams and while it’s an AMAZING camera, for the lens to be removed the dark slide has to be shut. The dark slide is kind of the Achilles heel of those cameras, the can malfunction easily. So I remove the lens from it VERY sparingly-only when I fly lol!

Hey thanks for watching! Yeah for sure I feel the same way. Especially for daylight shooting the recipes can be very variable because they biggest thing I've found that recipes are dependent on are the White Balance and WB Shift settings (which is very dependent on the sunlight or lack thereof for the day). The majority of the recipes I've made are really built for the night since that type of shooting is much more controlled and consistent. I have tested a few of these during the day but they lean very very cool (especially the T64 is basically blue). The only one I would say has a pleasant look is the Fuji NPL recipe I made. It can have a very nice pastel pinkish purple especially during golden hour if you like that look.

@@NathanTrimbach An AustralianKZbinr by the name of Armstrong made a simple daylight recipe for Fujichrome 50D (before Velvia) that I quite enjoy. It has a similar bluish tone that I like.

@@gottanikoncamera Oh nice! If that's the case you might like the Cinestill 800T recipe during the day. It has a cool blue tone that isn't as overpowering. What's the KZbinr you mentioned that created the Fujichrome recipe? I'd love to check it out.

@@NathanTrimbach I was afraid you were going to ask that (because KZbin’s search is so bad!). lol John Armstrong Photography. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppSkhK2miaiJlbs

@@NathanTrimbach I just realized my reply with John Armstrong Photography’s URL didn’t register. Maybe KZbin doesn’t encourage links? He’s easy enough to find in Search; he pops right up and the Fujichrome 50 recipe is only three videos in.

Hey Irvin! You read my mind! I have been thinking of making a series on each slide film I've shot and my experiences. TBH I was kinda afraid of slide film too when I first started but once I understood the limitations and see how beautiful it looks when it comes out I got hooked. (I'm also worried about Provia being discontinued too, I haven't been able to get any new Provia or Velvia for months).

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it

Hey thanks for watching! I personally shoot Redscale at the lower end of the ISO range (50 ISO or even 25 ISO) just because I want to ensure I'm getting a proper exposure. But when in doubt I will bracket my shots especially at night. I've found the creative films like Metropolis, Purple and Turquoise definitely need more light for night. I haven't done as much testing for Redscale but it could be worth shooting at 50 and 200 to compare. Best of luck and let me know how they turned out!

@@NathanTrimbach for sure! I definitely will!

Thanks for watching Pierre! I appreciate your POV

Interesting! What did you like about them? They are punchier for sure but definitely not as clear.

Great question! I’ll have to take a closer look to see if I exposed them the same. I did go back at different times (about a half hour difference) because I shot a roll, reloaded and then repeated some of the spots.

Hey Erik! Thanks for watching. No for this video I just did a short photo walk without commentary. I’m trying new formats. Let me know what you prefer and I’ll continue iterating.

Developed in E6! I rarely cross process.

Oh really? I did not know that. Well, the bird was cool for a little bit then tried to eat my hand! I think the couple had been there a while and got a good community of birds from their big bag of feed.

I know! I had gotten 5 rolls of it and they all have some expired look. I think overall those were probably a stop under exposed

@@NathanTrimbach It's not a bad look, it still has those nice fuji colors. Have you tried Fujicolor 100?

Yes! I love Fuji 100! I’ve shot 4 rolls so far and I have 6 more. Shot a couple rolls in Mexico. I eventually plan to make a video on it. I personally prefer Fuji colors overall vs Kodak but they are becoming harder to find. Have you shot some Fuji 100?

@@NathanTrimbach Can’t wait to see that video. I do too! Love fujicolor 100. It’s such a versatile film. I bought some back in 2020 from Japan but never shot it until last month. A guy on reddit said you can shoot it from 100-800 without a major difference. I tried shooting it at 500 on my Minolta Tc-1 and lo and behold, the picture came out perfect. Rich natural saturated colors even with overhead indoor lighting. Amazing stuff.

@@gabgallant I had not heard that! That's very interesting. I might have to try that out. I'm heading to Hawai'i in a month and plan to shoot most of the rest of my Fuji stock: Fuji Natura 1600, Fuji Superia Premium 400, Fuji Industrial 400 (this batch seemed better than my 100 batch), Fuji C200 and some Fuji 100.

Haha yeah....I'll never make that mistake again. Thanks for watching!

These are all straight scans no filters. I don't typically use filters on my medium format cameras. Sometimes I'll use a circular polarizer on my 35mm camera.

That's an interesting take. I'll have to keep that in mind next time I shoot it. As I mentioned though overall I like the color palette of the film at night. I'd have to experiment more in the day to see what I like with it. May do some more street shots with it. Thanks for watching!

Sometimes I did have 3 cameras (I have 3 Nikon N80s) and sometimes I had a Bronica SQ-Ai 6x6 with 2 different film backs but never 4. Many of these shots I just kept going back to. I think night photography has more consistency / less lighting variables than day time so that helps with the comparisons. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah that's my favorite Turquoise shot at night too!

Thank you! That truly means a lot

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video. Haha those clouds were rolling through so fast that my light meter readings were constantly changing so quickly. That's a great analogy. It's funny to be a nature photographer b/c we are trying to capture what is so fleeting and almost feels "uncapturable" because of how ever changing nature is.

Thanks for watching Erik! Did you see my response from the previous upload of this video? I put the light meter I used in the description

Hey thanks for watching! My gut reaction (without testing) is that Eterna with the color at +4 would be pretty close. I’ve noticed that Nostalgic Negative really is a more saturated / vibrant version of Eterna for the most part. You might have to do some post processing to add more contrast and saturation. When I get a chance to can see how it looks in my Fuji X RAW Studio.

@@NathanTrimbach thanks for your quick reply! That makes totally sense and I will try it out and test it 🙏🏻

@neglectedloves for sure! Let me know what you find out

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah they both have a unique haha. I’m guessing that magenta cast might not be how it should look since it might be from the 90s. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing your favorites! The Fuji ones were some of my favorites too.

Thank you for subscribing and the kind comment! Oh nice I'm a fan of those who shoot large format though I haven't tried myself yet. What do you shoot on with your medium format cameras?

Glad you liked it!
