An evening of film photography in a cute town - Kodak Gold 200.

In today's video I'm walking through a cute little town during sunset for an evening of film photography. I had an old film camera to try out with me loaded with a roll of Kodak Gold 200.

I am really interested in film photography but I know I won't be able to afford all the film and development costs, and your videos only make me more interested in saying screw it and just going for it. Great video mate, very relaxing and perfect for a warm Sunday afternoon. Keep working hard brother, you are doing well.

[@EduardodeOliveira]

hi, don't let the development costs stop you. it is actually quite affordable to self develop and you will end up learning a new skill. you need some materials and the chemicals but the costs are quite reasonable and for example for c-41 colour development you can reuse the chemicals. I encourage you to reconsider 😊

[@samskordi6079]

I second the other comment, but another way that I would recommend is to start out on black and white. It is considerably more inexpensive including the film itself (you can bulk roll you're own film as well) and the chemicals.

[@EduardodeOliveira]

@@samskordi6079 I agree with Sam, although in I'm much more experienced in colour film and biased towards it because my bw development attempts so far have been hit and miss... I'll keep trying and practicing to achieve good results

[@teocrawford]

Glad to see some motivating comments below :) I totally get you though, prices recently have become so bad😔 But as the other comments mentioned, B&W is cheaper (APX 400 is the cheapest film I've found). Also shooting very sparingly is helpful. And if you think you want to do this for a longer period of time you should consider getting yourself a scanning setup, because at least for me, scanning is the most expensive part, whereas the development is not so expensive, so by scanning myself I'm saving a lot of money in the long run. I tell my lab to only develop the film and not scan it. This way I pay 5€ instead of 25€+ I really hope you find a way to shoot some film!🙏🏼

[@LENAA]

12:35 made me gasp - didn't expect such a dreamy shot after seeing you walk up to a little grey puddle. how wonderful

[@teocrawford]

Aww amazing haha, glad you liked the result, thank you!🤗

[@alexcarrillo5510]

Very good video, as too I acquired two lovely cameras from the 1950's - A 1954 Praktina, and a 1958 Pentacon both 35mm SLR and both have Zeiss Jena Lenses, and these are my pride babies as I too been searching for Zeiss Jena lenses even though I am a Nikon Shooter, but to have a bit of SLR History that a camera can last for a long time. Also now I know in what they met of covering the lenses with lens caps on my babies, the Cloth Shutter can do damage when exposed to sun, and when I got the Pentacon that I noticed pin holes on the shutter. So I remember when I use to work at a camera store of a product called Kodak Liquid Opaque and carefully place it on the shutter plane front and back, and then place light lubricant oil on the rollers, and sure enough it work..

[@lottevree]

The photo of the white flowers in the field immediately reminded me of white spooky ghosts I would see in a childbook or movie as a kid. I loved the sudden ‘darkness’ in this photo which contrasted with the rest of the photo’s which were more glowing because of the sunlight. 👻😊🌞🌅

[@teocrawford]

Haha I see, interesting👏🏼👏🏼 Yeah it's quite a switch up suddenly😅🤷🏻‍♂️

[@nizarsoffil]

my favorite from this session is 15:05 despite the image was underexposed, that makes look like a painting

[@teocrawford]

Ohh interesting, thank you!🤔🙌🏼

[@dianeschuller]

by far my favourite image is of the post box against the yellow house. I also enjoy the one of the A-frame style house with the hedge and red roses that also shows the mountain in the back.

[@teocrawford]

Ahh interesting, thanks for sharing your thoughts🤗🙏🏼

[@mattiashaggstrom2049]

Thank you for yet another inspiring calm video. I agree that the image with the post box and the silhouette grass are very good. I also think the mirrored grass image was nice. I like the fact that the edge of the puddle was included in the top left of the corner! Looking forward to the next video :-)

[@teocrawford]

Ahh sweet, thank you for sharing your thoughts🤗🙏🏼

[@CiaraColette]

I love your channel so much! It’s relaxing and has a lovely poetic feel to it. 🤍🎞

[@teocrawford]

Aww thank you!🥺🙏🏼

[@keatonhare7691]

I absolutely love the golden tones of this shoot - and that camera looks delightful to use

[@teocrawford]

Ohh sweet, glad you do!🤗 Yeah it's so fun, but the viewfinder is quite tricky because what you see is horizontally flipped😵

[@SACKBOY209]

Great way to start my morning

[@teocrawford]

Ahh sweet, glad to be your morning/breakfast buddy!🙌🏼

[@Andi_Mue]

Ich mag deine Videos so gern! Sie sind irgendwie so entspannend & inspirierend.

[@teocrawford]

Aww danke, freut mich voll!🥺🙏🏼

[@haleyhoward2669]

I actually love the shot of the fence in the long grass!

[@luigi587]

Love the photo with the sign, missing a subject like a car to be perfect

[@ainaajoissa6346]

I think your photos are really beautiful! I like your style and the way that nature are on spotlight because I'm nature lover. You are so inspiring🔥❤️👏

[@teocrawford]

Aww great, thank you for the kind words!🥺🙏🏼

[@rusttownmedia3951]

I actually like the one of the two mirrors. it kinda looks like a giant pair of sunglasses.

[@teocrawford]

Ahhh love that haha! Thanks for adding this perspective🤗

[@schwanenkind]

The puddle shot is just perfect!

[@teocrawford]

Aww thank you!🥺🙏🏼

[@kennethakennetha]

I think it's better to have your go pro attached to your chest level 😅 but all in all, I love watching your videos! Keep em coming!

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

Awesome camera so glad it works for you I love trying old gear my current faves are 1950s folders they are fun to use produce amazing images and look pretty cool imho on video. New sub for ya cheers

[@teocrawford]

Ohh I imagine those are fun!😍 Thank you!

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

@@teocrawford fun and incredible quality mate well worth having a go

[@ayooluwakolawole]

I love the shot with the two mirrors! Imagine the bush is some sort of alien wearing goggles

[@teocrawford]

Hahah that's such a great unique perspective, love it! I overall like the composition, just the light is unpleasant for me :(

[@Bonsees]

Wow the character of the lens is splendid ❤️ I like how it blooms the highlights a bit but not all blurry. Lovely photos! 😆

[@teocrawford]

Ahh true it's pretty interesting😍 Thank you🤗🙏🏼

[@Bonsees]

@@teocrawford always a pleasure 😊

[@tonyhayes9827]

Love the house shot @ 8:17. And the first one at 5:58 probably for all the reasons you stated. Man that old camera is the best!

[@teocrawford]

Ahh glad you do too🤗 Yeah it's fun :))

[@tonyhayes9827]

@@teocrawford There's a little more going on here Teo than simple light colour and composition. They're homes. They have a good spirit.

[@MacnTeensVisuals]

Lovely relaxing video to watch once again Teo. Really want to try out some more film cameras too, especially the older mechanical ones. Love how they have there own little quirks and stuff.

[@teocrawford]

Thank you!🤗 Happy to know this was relaxing :) Ohh please do, they're such a joy!

[@Havenotats]

just got around to watching this finally!! so pretty Teo very relaxing 😁

[@teocrawford]

Aww thanks Tats! Neat new profile pic btw.! :))

[@Havenotats]

@@teocrawford thank you hahah! Not sure if it's here to stay or not 😅

[@ReaonKaufman]

I think you would love the Mamiya DSX1000. One of my personal favorites for a simple well made camera with great lens selections. Found mines off eBay with the internal light meter still working and the light seals still intact.

[@teocrawford]

Ohh cool, thanks!🤔🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@keybladesss]

my mamiya 6 foldable camera also gives me this glow but i cant decide if i like it or not sometimes its too glowy lol

[@stijnmesman9788]

I liked the yellow house at 8:17. You really captured all the interesting details expertly. Unfortunately this montage made me a bit nauseous because of the gopro going up and down so much whenever you looked in the viewfinder from above.

[@Drewjdizon]

Great video as always

[@teocrawford]

Thank you!🥺

[@billyspocketlife]

Watching this I'm thinking I should purchase a small stepping stool that flat packs just so I can be taller when needed

[@teocrawford]

Actually a good idea🤔🤔

[@billyspocketlife]

@@teocrawford honestly our photography isn't that different, I think it would come in handy

[@TheEurolit3]

I like this video and agree mostly with your self critique with the ones that didnt turn out well for you. Those that didnt turn out well I find that you had something there. If you just got the main subject more to the centre. For example the milk canister shot with the boot. Another is the house with the roses, if the roses were more to the centre but with same composition with regard to the mountain. If you could imagine that, do you agree? Bottom line, those that dont work, try getting main subject more to the centre. Bush shot at 14.10, for me the edge of bush to the right is the main, if it would be more to centre I would like it as well.

[@sbm8235]

Btw pov camera is so great with results. Pls let me know which one did you use for pov. GoPro?

[@emelyandtheuke]

do you think you can link that website? I'm a camera collector and would love to browse the market

[@AlleiStine]

somehow your videos always come up to me early in the morning and it's nice watching it to start my day while having breakfast (: ... curious question though, and I am not sure if you answered this before but how do you store or organize your photographs? specifically the film ones? I love shooting a lot but for some reason I suck at organizing (':

[@teocrawford]

Aww sweet, glad to be your breakfast buddy :) Ahhh hehe... I don't😅 BUT I actually just ordered a pack of negative archival sleeves to finally get these organised🙌🏼 So I'll just be having pages of negatives in a folder (sorted be date)👍🏼

[@sometimesgamer]

You should have taken this shot @9:20. But your shots overall were amazing.

[@sajalkumarsen1]

Beautiful. I also take similar photos but no-one cares

[@stranger_04]

Yes! Siiiiiir

[@teocrawford]

Yeeee

[@hinlee252]

This town is so beautiful. Which country is it in?

[@albertwilliam3452]

What lightmeter app do you use in the beginning of the video?

[@furiouszer0221]

hi Teo, i have stumbled upon your channel and i find one of your videos recommend a beginner like me to get the GX80. My Question is, is it good for photography? because other channels doesnt recommend micro four thirds camera for photography and others do and it confuse me much! and one more question, can i achieve good bokeh with micro four thirds? i never owned a camera yet and im looking for something that is both good in film making and photography.

Hi

[@rwhynacht7850]

Love many of your photos and enjoy your videos but that piano music is way too creepy.

[@teocrawford]

What!? I found it quite soothing haha, sorry about that😅🙏🏼 Thank you :)

[@marcoandres7475]

Interesting/unusual camera, presented, as usual, brilliantly. Since you. find that some images are too dark. Consider increasing the exposure 1,5x to compensate for backlit subjects. Also consider a small meter to measures the scene, rather than the app, which is a spot meter. There are a variety of small meters [One is made in W Germany Lime One], which can be attached to/removed from the hot/cold shoe [not on this camera]. Lime One is made in Germany. As for the excellent lens: Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50/2,8 [VEB Carl Zeiss Jena, in East Germany]. Manual for this camera: www.butkus.org/chinon/exa/exa_24x35/exa.pdf
