Film Photography at night is hard | Kodak Tri-X@1600 | Leica M6 | Street Photography | Mexico EP17

[@nowisthetime6093]

Tough conditions with a film camera. Liked the shot of the Beetle the best and the guy looking straight into the camera from the stopped bus a close second. Also liked the Bus Driver while driving shot with the steering wheel, dashboard dials and little money tray. Looking forward to see what you get with your Q2 mono at night. Check out Octavian Carare street photography on his youtube channel. He's shooting with the Q2 also.

[@nowisthetime6093]

@@therealsirrobin Absolutely!! Am not on Instagram but will leave my details on your blog page. One happy puppy!! 😊👍

[@SinaFarhat]

Great job with the lack of light! The wall boxer is my favourite!

[@vckmdz]

Love the triX in low light, lovely photos as always

[@yasmin_dom]

The first shot at the beach was instantly my favorite 🏖

[@rudyortega3285]

I love how you pushed yourself for this episode. That was some challenging lighting conditions. My favorite shot was the guy looking at you from the bus windows.

[@stuartdorman128]

#2 for me, it really gets you to stop and ponder the backstory. Thanks for sharing all the details behind it

[@andrewweiss1161]

I love watching your night street photography videos!!

[@matayoproduction1927]

Die Auswahl ist klasse und den Käfer ist Hammer!!

[@lucasleonardo2111]

Excellent images, I really liked the first one on the bus, with the guy looking at you.

[@MattCicciarelli]

Love the 3rd VW print. Reminds me of my childhood, growing up with the same car.

[@leonkrug4841]

Really love the first 2 shots you showed at the end. The shadow one is really interesting!

[@rgarciamainou]

Great episode. Tri-X is a joy. The juggler photo came out fantastic. Might have been difficult, but totally worth it.

[@VictorBezrukov]

exactly 3 images i loved in the whole series.

[@r_faisal]

With black & white, the images look so artistic. Beach shot was good, but the VW shot looking quite and calm, and it's more great and interest me. Great shot.

[@christian5635]

I really love the street with the beetle in the foreground. It’s the one which feels most like in the middle of the night in some lonely back alley.

[@alexandermandache1628]

Great shots despite the low light! Well done!

[@gabocosta3373]

11:46 I love de mood. Excellent video like always!!

[@markusklein6309]

Der Schattenboxer - mein Favorit!

[@ChristianJohansson-papac]

Nice, the outdoor gym pic is really nice👍

[@jandobrik7169]

Very nice episode, great pictures.

[@alanmacmillan6957]

like the grain and atmosphere on those. VW beetle my favourite.

[@michalsurdej]

Nice photo walk! Wondering how did you manage to nail the focus with that wide open aperture and such spontaneous shooting. well done!

[@davidduncan7213]

The first print is awesome.Great film,lens combo.Another great video.

[@Msaxplayer1]

Excellent work sir! Thank you!

[@robertpopper9001]

Great video as always - thank you for the precious tips

[@ReimannPembroke]

Awesome video as always man! You’re street photography is always killer no matter where you are or what time of day or night. I love that shot of the guy juggling flaming sticks in the street!

[@ekgw]

Nice pictures despite poor lighting. Good one!

[@EstudioGalo]

Really love the number 2 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@gilang6710]

You always managed the compositions really well, such an inspiration. 😍 Also, this video makes me wanna shoot black n white at night!

[@lnaird]

Yes, I like the beetle shot, too.

[@christiandumontphotography3996]

It didn't look very easy indeed. But there are great results. I really like the atmosphere that emerges from the photo with the beetle in the deserted street. Very film noir. Thank you Robin.

[@frederick8469]

Very nice video. I loov the photo of the car.

[@elbrooks]

That shadow shot is cool! Love it 😍

[@dunerino892]

all 3 prints really nice, 2nd one reminds me of Paolo Pellegrin's work. I just love the grittyness of pushed Tri-X

[@joffreychouela2656]

The second print is really good !

[@charliezielinski5334]

thank you for sharing and for the inspiration!

[@laymanrob]

Some awesome photos in there! Some timeless moments 👌

[@zahouda]

Wow the first shot!!! 😍

[@bqfilms]

Love the first shot, and the guy looking at you from the bus, reminds me of Robert Frank's the Americans book cover

[@goesch]

First print is my favourite

[@squiffig]

"Without further ado I will wait a little bit longer." Ah, a kindred spirit! 😉

[@AeromaticXD]

there a4e some fantastic shots!

[@SebastianLeePhotography]

this is awesome! i never tried shooting at night without using flash, and certainly shooting film and without a flash are so difficult.

[@pacoedw]

second image is great

[@limpbiz]

Nichupté lagoon is a mix of water, mostly ocean water, but the manglar around it cleans it and makes it fresh water! Really cool but in danger because of all the constructions around tourism.

[@jeremydesalle5926]

Hello, i'm surprise that you showed us only 3 prints, there was others very good photos. The second one is nicel !

[@joeltunnah]

If you use stand development in rodinal, you can shoot at 1600 with almost no increase in grain or contrast. 60 minutes at 1+100 with no agitation after the first 30s.

[@malcolmxedmonds]

Shadow Boxer No.2 without doubt!

[@zhixinxiang2764]

I like the beetle very much🚘

[@RubenRobles]

Great video! You got some great pictures despite the challenging conditions.I saw that you got your film developed in Spain. Did you have any issues with x-rays and film at the airport?

[@nadzbanaag]

Dig your work! 🤙🏾

[@antoinehope4498]

Again thanks Sir for the video, I really like the wall shadow if I win !! :)

[@yishaylandoy309]

I do want a print, maybe this tima. I did like that you really forced yourself to keep going. Nice episode.

[@EdmondStreetzz]

yay new video

[@SkateLife1998]

Second One fire!

[@chentingko6643]

Hey Robin,could u shoot an episode with Kodak doubleX ;) my favorite of this episode is also the first shot!!!

[@AbdullahChakmakchi]

I really like the shots. Did you shoot it at 800 or 400? Then you pushed it 2 stops. But I'm very impressed how the images turn out.

[@diegolagunes3213]

I love your work! What where your camera settings? I´m a mexican filmmaker and I shoot on film too

[@koobs4549]

“Hey, where you from?” made me so nervous, sometimes you never know if it’s a genuine interest or feeling out whether or not you’re worth following to a dark area. Always be aware of your surroundings no matter where you are, a good idea to stay where the light is at night. This isn’t a critique on Cancun or Mexico specifically, just good advice at any place that relies heavily on tourism.

[@tmainka82]

Thanks for the awesome video , but there should more than 3 prints. The picture with the shadow at the wall is great :-) Greetings from Germany

[@atroche1978]

If you go on the main strip, Kukulkán Blvd, you'll see many sings warning of crocs.

[@tim-peerwiederkehr6067]

Hey wie machst du deine Prints? Darkroom oder Drucker?

[@sebvz89]

28mm lens?

[@cronopiado]

niceee

[@tinylights]

do you live in mexico

[@taneltinnuri8985]

U are pretty wise guy shooting at night in Mexico

[@davidellinsworth22]

Great stuff Robin. Love the Beetle image plus the very first image on the beach. A little request if I may, I'd love to see you shoot more medium format, and also more with Provia 100F

[@nickfanzo]

If Jerry Burchard could shoot Tri x at 200 asa, at night, then you can certainly shoot Tri x at night at 1600 asa

[@SpiderXweaponX]

I bet those "promoters" where rather grabby and aggressive. They get paid to drag people into their bars. Glad you made it safe in Mexico.

[@chandreo]

Tri-X can go very far with a choice of final negative contrast: andreo.ch/rodinal.html All the best, andréo
