[@yoganshbhatt]

@femigod thank for letting as have a peek at your amazing work!

[@enzocannizzo8744]

Thank you for your presentation with your photo walk in NYC . You provide a different approach in that you use film and by visual representation you demonstrate the art of photography. Today with the development of digital and computational technology with camera , software we lost our roots in film . Film makes you slow down contemplate , study before you press the shutter button. I must “ Confess “ when photography was heading digital I sold off my film cameras .. Do I miss my Nikon FE , Canon A1 … maybe it’s time to rethink and purchase a good used Nikon FE . Once again THANK YOU for your hard work and your message … I am now a subscriber ! Best wishes

[@femigod]

I couldn’t agree more, and it is exactly those moments where you slow down and capture that I hope to celebrate through this channel. I’m glad it’s inspired you to potentially pick film photography back up again. So glad to have you along for the adventure, and thank you for watching!!

[@Volvo1421]

Really interesting foto. I always like old technic things. You can really trust it. I like the way and style you present you video. 👍📸

[@Katiedoan88]

Such an underrated channel!! I love LOVE your storytelling and the photos. I also really enjoyed listening to your friends thoughts about photography while displaying her photos. You are so inspirational, thank you for the hard work in putting videos like this together!! 🙏🫶🥰

[@femigod]

Awwww that truly means so much, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I'm sure Joy will be happy to know you liked that too!!

[@KnightRichie]

1:31 Photos taken with a Widelux are undeniably beautiful, but what truly amazed me is your color grading in videos. This style, so perfectly close to the look of Fujifilm, is utterly captivating. May I ask what your color grading settings are?

[@femigod]

Aww thank you- it’s actually really easy, I use the film convert plugin and just dial in the settings to match whatever film stock I’m shooting as close as possible. But film convert does most of the work

[@belivmi]

Really cool video.

[@femigod]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!!

[@stephenjones6902]

Excellent Laura

[@femigod]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

[@joeymason5857]

You're such a pro! As a photographer I love the images and as a sound engineer the audio production you put into these is so so good. P.S. I took nearly the exact same shot at 19:04 when I was in NY in April (yours is better)

[@femigod]

Awwww that truly means so much- I care sooo much about the sound design haha sound design and was actually one of my favorite classes in film school. And that is too kind haha I bet you’re is beautiful!! Thanks so much for watching!

[@davemenard5089]

Old tech makes for the best content making. Gear is a lie. I like your style

[@femigod]

Thanks, I totally agree. Glad you like it!!

i like how you colorgraded the video clips. they look like film too!

Thank you, it means so much!

[@RicardoSanchezVera]

A 20-minute-long video from Lau? Hell yes! I loved it. I just recently got my Kodak Gold 200 film for my Pentax K1000, and I’m so excited to start using it! What do you think were the reasons behind the underexposed images on Halloween, considering it was ISO 800? This question really intrigues me! Thank you so much. I loved this video with all my heart.

[@femigod]

Awww that’s so awesome I’m so excited for you!! And that’s a great question, I was wondering that myself. I rented this widelux and I was wondering if maybe the aperture was stuck stopped down/at a slower speed. I also think the streets may have been a bit darker than I anticipated.

[@Awayne429]

Beautiful video

[@femigod]

Thanks for watching!

I just an f3 from japan..they refurbish old cameras..cant wait for it to come in...heard great reviews about the f3....awesome you tube video....thanks for sharing

[@femigod]

Oh that’s awesome, you’re going to love it!! It truly is one of my favorite cameras. And I’m glad you like it- thank you!

[@samswiech3353]

Great shots. Which lens were you using on the F3 here?

[@femigod]

Thank you!! It was the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 Series E AIS Manual Focus Lens

[@fedyachistyakov4380]

It was so cool and interesting to watch! As if I´ve been for a little journey. Thank you

[@femigod]

Awww that truly means so much. Thank you!!

[@davidmascorro5636]

love the relaxing feeling this video gives, not like some of the younger Photograhers who seem to make a game out of street photography , who can be the most entertaining for example. thanks for sharing. and btw what lens where you using on the F3.

[@femigod]

Thank you so much!! It’s my goal to reflect the meditative aspect of photography as much as possible, and I’m really glad you enjoy it. And it’s the: Nikon 50mm f/1.8 Series E AIS Manual Focus Lens. Thanks for watching!!

[@gaodelta4659]

lovely voice😀

[@mhammersley9857]

I like the Widelux images. Jeff Bridges can take Jeff Bridges shots. You take yours. It was a bold choice to shoot slide film, given the F7’s limited shutter speeds. Did you end up with any Provia shots that were unusably over or under exposed?

[@femigod]

Aww I appreciate that. And yeah definitely! Nothing too crazy but I did get a few that were a little too over for my liking. But most of it came out pretty decent!

[@mcianph]

Widelux Is one of my dream cameras but oh god if it's expensive

[@femigod]

Trueeeeee!!! I can’t imagine how much the new one’s going to cost haha

[@mcianph]

@femigod I need to start saving up money

[@vitz0924]

You already went to Japan. In Tokyo or other city, It has selling almost new used F3. You like a photo,but I fell a little sad.

[@femigod]

The F3 I got came on eBay from a store in Japan actually! I took the trip to Japan last year in 2023, which was before I was looking to buy an F3. But I definitely loved seeing all the camera shops in Japan!!

[@vitz0924]

@@femigod Last year? I see.....

[@Rkolb2798]

The widelux worked really well , but I don’t think it’s a camera for me . The Seagull worked nicely .

[@femigod]

Yes Joy’s pictures on the Seagull were awesome!!

[@femigod]

Which camera did you like the best? Let me know in the comments!

[@kenneth_mirez]

wished there are more women in the film photography niche

[@femigod]

Totally agreed, but you’re in luck- you have me!! Haha

[@kenneth_mirez]

@@femigod yes! looking forward for more content :)

[@erin.v.z]

Absolutely the same. I especially enjoy watching the camaraderie of photographers on KZbin grow, but so far I’m only seeing men gather to do this. How I would love be part of a group of women who make photography content. It can sometimes feel lonely. Keep up the good work, helping the next generation of photographers find their voice!

[@kenneth_mirez]

@@erin.v.z It's oversaturated with men. I know there are a lot of vivian maiers out there

[@ducgerard2361]

widelux the worst panoramic camera... use a Noblex!

[@femigod]

Super interesting- what do you like best about the Noblex??

[@klartext2225]

At 1:50 it is already clear for me: you don't get it! First: Jeff Bridges always shot B/W with his Widelux. Being CLOSE to the action on his film sets. I saw lots of his work in PREMIERE movie magazine, back in the 2000s. A panorama from the Staten Island Ferry with this camera is nothing but boring. Especially when tilted, resulting in a curved horizon.

[@femigod]

You clearly missed the point of this video if that’s your takeaway.
