I love how subjective photography is. Absolutely loved the faded forest picture, even thinking that the faded look did suit it. Excellent video!

[@teocrawford]

Ahhh perfect! Yes that is part of what I love about the exchanges in the comments, because so often people see things I didn't or like you simply see things differently. Thank for sharing your thoughts! :)

[@LENAA]

WOW 8:55 is pretty. the grass shape was really funky! love how the light at 11:29 hits that perfectly positioned fern. i actually really enjoyed 12:53 and 14:00, as I feel like there's something whimsical about that little smol tree in the centre, framed by the big ones.

[@teocrawford]

Ahhh thank you so much! Oh yes the light often hit certain plants just peeerfectly :D I see, I see - thank you for sharing your thoughts! :))

[@zubiashakeel5648]

I could listen to your voice ALL DAY 😩😩!!! It's sooo soothing 💗

[@teocrawford]

Aww thank you, so happy to read this! :)

[@ReimannPembroke]

This was an awesome and calming video to watch Teo! I think my favorite was the detail shot of the grass at 9:46. You’re right, the shape of the grass is mesmerizing!

[@MefeiesT]

Also think its a really good Shot :)

[@theloverboydiaries]

This forest is insane. Every photo you got gave me a physical and emotional reaction. Great work.

[@teocrawford]

Ohhh wow that's amazing! I'm so happy the photographs could evoke those feelings, thank you for the kind comment! :)

[@EvelinHutton]

My comfort channel officially🥰

[@teocrawford]

Aww thank you! :)

[@itsjonathanwade]

Honestly, the 'faded' one and the grass, in my opinion were the best shots of the roll. Nice work!

[@SoEinTyp]

Besides being amazed by your eye for really nice photos, I love your choice for words! Always on point!

[@teocrawford]

Ahh thank you so much - happy to know my writing also resonates with you! :))

[@band_nerd]

such a shame fuji is discontinuing this film stock… this video demonstrates perfectly just how great it really is.

[@hex_1733]

It really sucks :(

[@javixo1997]

Hey I have the same camera, found it in a street market in Spain for €30 with a Zeiss 50mm f/1.8 in almost new condition! Sadly the meter doesn’t work, but apparently the shutter works fine. We’ll see when I finish the test roll. And nice photos Teo, as always 🙌🏽

[@courtalton]

Everything is glowing!! Such a great video!

[@teocrawford]

Ahhh yes, so glad the sun came out! Thank you :))

[@thissidetowardscreen4553]

Wonderful video! So many opportunities in a forest, wooded area! Excellent photos. the dappled sunlight is sometimes the most beautiful lighting!

[@teocrawford]

Right!? I love it when the sun get's broken into little splashes of light through the leaves. It seems to get a kind of texture which puts it somewhere between soft and hard lighting🤷🏻‍♂️ Thank you!🤗

[@darilietas]

The grass shot at 9:46 😍 Fantastic! Thank you for sharing this video - I had planned to go on a 2-day hike tomorrow, and I might just take my Lumix G7 with me. Your videos are so inspiring :)

[@RaicoRosenberg]

I really enjoyed watching this, like going out with a friend and taking photographs. I must say on the digital part the photos looked quite HDR and a a bit oversaturated imho which was a huge difference. If you really want that film look i highly recommended any of the Fuji cameras and do very little processing. I shot Nikon for over 10 years then tried Fuji and fell in love with it.

[@Fernanda-mu9uk]

I think I liked more the ones you said you liked the least, kinda cool

[@kpotato6080]

This is indeed so beautiful. Definitely needed this to shoot again

[@teocrawford]

Ohh great, I hope you go shoot soon!😍

[@qvarfoto]

Really glad I found your channel, Teo. Great stuff! Cheers /Fred

[@nataliabednarek1139]

Beautiful shots 💚 could you please record a video about film scanning?

[@teocrawford]

Working on it! :D Thank you :)

[@MefeiesT]

Just glad I found your channel. Really Great & quality stuff! We have a lot of forest around here where I live, but I often struggle to find clear subjects. This gave some good Inspiration :) Besides the other comments here I also like the First Shot at 1:37 - Really good colors and good example of working out a foreground yourself ;) cool framing. Maybe it could Just use a Little Bit More Zooming/cropping in 😊

[@bratspinat]

das gras bild ist so nice 😍

[@MacnTeensVisuals]

Beautiful stuff, that forest area looks amazing. I think the first shot you picked as your favourite is probably mine too, forests can be really tricky to photography but you did a great job 👌

[@teocrawford]

It's strange isn't it? How are forests so gorgeous yet so difficult at times to photograph? Thank you! :))

[@MacnTeensVisuals]

@@teocrawford It really is, I think it's because it can feel so messy at times which makes it hard to find compositions.

[@clicboumboum]

Wonderful shoots 😍

[@ppppppp_3126]

Awesome Teo! Keep it up! That GX80 seems to still do a great work! How would you say its image quality compares to top smartphones these days?

[@photossnap8903]

I really like your photography style... 😍😍😍

[@teocrawford]

Aww sweet, glad to read that, thank you🥺🙏🏼

[@cinemart5281]

Hi, I was wondering how you get that video "film" look for your intro sequence :) beautiful video by the way

[@teocrawford]

It's just the colour grading - I grade with Lumetri Colour in Premiere. Mostly warming the look up a bit often helps to get that Kodak-ish look🤔

[@cinemart5281]

@@teocrawford interesting, thanks so much

[@Havenotats]

💚

[@teocrawford]

[@beneranaku]

Wow. How do you get low noise with 400 iso and yet is a nice looking photos

[@aaroneunoia6501]

beautiful as always :)

[@teocrawford]

Aww thank you! :)

[@Vchrome_]

Amazing Video!

[@teocrawford]

Aww thanks!🤗

[@liamb5392]

Hello! I’m looking to shoot film photography for the first time. What are your thoughts on the Fuji C200 stock vs the Fuji X-TRA 400?

[@birdie399]

Sorry to say, but I prefer all the digital images…more colour and presence. Thanks for the video.

[@ATF_CA]

What strap are you using? It looks like it has quick-release attachment fobs like Peak Designs'

[@teocrawford]

The strap is from Urth! :D And yes they have a quick release function plus an extra set of those dongles in case you have a second camera. I actually had Urth sponsor me in a video a couple months ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ3TZY2Oithqi8k You can check out the sponsored segment in which I talk a bit more about the two straps they gave me :))

[@ATF_CA]

@@teocrawford Thanks, mate. I found them on Amazon but dang, they’re more pricy than PD!

[@khai2322]

Did you edit the digital photos or did they turn out like this straight out of camera?

[@teocrawford]

The ones with the lumix? Those are edited :)

[@beawareishoot]

Which app do you use before taking photos?

[@wahyungilu5960]

No self portrait as usual in the open field.. really teo???? 😌🤔

[@teocrawford]

Ahhh how could I hahah. True though, why didn't I think of that lol!?🤔😂😂

[@maximiliano3605]

PЯӨMӨƧM 👌

[@BaoIsTheShit]

I wonder what kind of video camera did you use to record this video?

[@teocrawford]

The wide angle video on my head is from a GoPro Hero 8 Black and the static not so wide footage came from the Sony A7iii🙌🏼

[@BaoIsTheShit]

@@teocrawford oh thank you! And have you colorgraded this vid?
