Love this thought provoking video. I just sold all my photography gear and just taking photos with my phone for now. There’s a saying, what nourishes me destroys me. Photography became that for me and I’m pausing to think about why. Thank you for this video ❤️

I'd love to know what shelf that is behind you that you seem to be using for canister storage!

Thanks for sharing!

I brought this film to Mardi Gras this year and it became apparent that it handles synthetic materials and dyes differently than natural colors and dyes. For instance, beads that were the same color purple as the purple on flags would come out cooler. The synthetic materials on the flags came out with a magenta push. Similarly, green in trees and plants were kind of muted and forest-green-ish but similar greens on flags, shirts, and faux flowers came out with a more lime push to their color. Very interesting film

I like the look of this one, will have to seek it out.

Thanks for featuring my photo! Keep up the great work man 👏

OMGosh the background noise is sooo annoying

Very valid thoughts! Thanks for sharing. I feel very similar, I think distraction is one of the new idols/gods of our time. We are truly a world that is addicted to noise and stimulation. Just think of how different the world would be if we each spent just a bit of time in nature without any artificial noise each day.

Im in China at the moment, do you think it’s worth stocking up on this film before I leave (back to expensive Ireland)? Looking on Taobao, about 30 quai a pack

5:16, yes sir. Great message and video.

Good video and message mate and you are correct in your appraisal about modern society. Youu are obviously a very conscientious bloke and the fact that you are a teacher is great because no doubt you will impart this wisdom with your students. Practicing gratitude is one of the most important skills to nurture and is an effective antidote for depression; what I often do whenever I am feeling crap is watch travelling vlogs and it will always put my own selfish miopia in check. If you have other subjects for positive thinking I would encourage you to post them, even if the views are few there is always the potential that someone will find it when they need it most so strive on good Sir. Kudos.

No harm no foul on not liking star wars. Not everyone likes the same stuff. It's all good.

Hi Darren, Ive used the 250d so far from them, unfortunately my metering was bad, no many great shots. But i still favour 500t more.

Let's hear it for the awesome job @reflxlab is doing, down there in Shenzhen! Also, let me know which movie or tv series you secretly or not so secretly don't like.

The Handles for those Standout photographers & their instagrams are : Tommy Oldham @tommyophoto , Tim Clinch @clinchpics & Ros Atkinson @her_dark_materials

Make sure to keep that horizon in a bag and as clean as possible when out and about. Mine died on a hike after it got some grit in the tracks and the barrel wouldnt spin anymore.

This time I remembered to hide the secret phrase in the video, somewhere. I will choose 1 or 2 people who find it to send a roll of film their way.

On the box it has that "Cyber Graphics Corporation Tokyo Japan"

some great shots here! gotta throw you a sub c:

Shanghai on Film. What's not to love? Also do you know which TV show I'm referring to in the video?

Thanks Darren, this is timely as im about to shoot tmax for he first time soon.

Definitely a fan of all Tmax stocks. Particularly when processed with Tmax developer. Unparalleled latitude.

Also, uhmm sorry about the sloppy connection especially in the beginning, but I PROMISE it's worth every second!

Fiona is an absolute gem of a human with such a wealth of wisdom and experience. It'd be really appreciated by me if you all just popped over to her Instagram or threads and just told her how much we appreciate her. I would absolutely love to do more of these, so please leave any questions you may want asked in the comments as well.

Thank you for your video. A really interesting way to combine both of your passions into a single medium.

Coolest beard. I cant grow a beard, but i wont let that stop me from posting new film photography youtube shorts daily

Found another reel dawgie! Subbed. What a cute frenchie He yours? Anyway. Just out here comment bombing for a PR run to promote my new post for the day. It's just a silly teaser for the finale in my three part youtube series on developing film at home where I sing to my dog and lose my mind because I am always talking to myself with a camera in the room. My most recent comment called me unhinged. I'm starting to believe him.

10:18 beautiful shot !

How good are Derrick & Tom’s images!!!! Oh my hat! Give them some love over on threads!!!

I found your channel from a comment you made on another video, looks like you’ve been working really hard at this channel for years now and probably thousands of hours! I hope you love video editing as much as photography! 😅 I don’t have a channel so take it with a grain of salt but from the perspective of a stranger just popping in the thing I think would help most is variation in voice. You seem to have a naturally slow and mellow tone which in our hectic impatient society is easy to overlook. I think it would be really awkward and unnatural to try to change that but what I’ve noticed is that people with your style of speech do best when their message is very succinct. So rather than saying 100words in 5 seconds and talk in circles like so many kids these days you can take your time but really plan what you’re going to say and eliminate “parasites” like umm, like, ya know, etc. I think that will add a lot of value to your videos and keep people sticking around and coming back for more. I hope this is helpful and I think you’re doing really great work and wish you the best of luck with your channel! 🍀

Are you able to find Ilford Pan 400 near you? Let me know.

My favorite film stock to use on a regular basis 🤌🏼

Came here from Threads! :D Thanks for the recommendation.

Great content for film reviewing, wish try Rollei RPX 400 soon or later.

The world needs more people like me! lol. Thanks for the review, I’ve got a roll of mirage currently in a half frame camera that I took to Florida on a sunny day, looking forward to seeing how they turn out!

Thanks! But why examples taken in places that are tons of CO2 away? Is the scenery better there?

Great video!!! Kodak Gold is one of my personal favourite colour film stocks. Thanks so much for featuring some of my photos I shared with you on threads 🧡✨

Awesome video, it was neat seeing all my friends on threads.

Great video as always dude. Always looking forward to the next video

Great video Darren. Thank you for adding my expired Gold shot in the highlights section 🙏

Did you know Kodak Gold is the modern-day offspring of Kodak's first ever colour-negative film marketed by Eastman-Kodak in 1942, sold with the cost of processing included? Do you have any other random facts about any film?

promo sm

Darren, please stand up if ur the real one!

sheesh

Another great video Darren. Beard looking good too!

Great images Darren and I found the new format much more digestible. I found the secret phrase but I don't want to give it away here 😉 all I'll say is… no you're not, I am.

If you see the secret phrase floating around, could you please tell me? I've been looking for it all over. Also, I appreciate you and I'm a big fan of your work! The way you watch videos & leave cool comments inspires me to make more!

Good stuff man! I just got some of my results back from this film yesterday and they are awesome every time. This film is worth every 毛 haha

Any guesses what next weeks filmstock is? It’s a pretty popular one that’s available worldwide.

It's a good question Darren!!
