I thought he said his name was "Crispy Towel"

[@Texascowdoll]

Really impressed with how well the photos turned out with just that little on camera flash...Makes me think I've been over thinking shooting with flash on my F100!.

[@jerrylin9744]

thats not little hahah thats a CONTAX G2!!

[@shanesong2911]

Crazy cinematography. Really enjoy these episodes. You earned a sub :)

[@ChrisButel]

+Shane Song thanks heaps mate. Working on new eps at the moment but been super busy with other commercial work. Stay tuned though got lots of stuff planned for the future.

[@TheSaladTozzer]

seriously, it was the best part of watching this

[@MrPhotographerDude]

The 28mm is not how we see, that's what the 45mm is for...or 50mm.

[@ChrisButel]

Think it depends on the sensor size bro

[@sebastianm8369]

@@ChrisButel How? It's not about the field of view or size. 50 mm has just the most congenial look to human eyes.

through my eyes : Digital, you have to EDIT - real tits vs fake tits

[@omakstuff1568]

Hi nice work man I just wonder which focal length you used in this video. Very cool pictures..with flash

[@linae1189]

very beautiful! thanx!

[@randomcat4940]

Lina e imma gona goo ghost hunting with this camera,a then i shutter chance the ghost lik project zero

[@matteovrizzi]

Good video. I always used flash with film if there wasn’t enough light, which was most of winter. Not much choice if you want to take pictures! Mind you “analog film” doesn’t really make a lot of sense to me.

[@ChrisButel]

Yer it’s an interesting aesthetic for sure. Thanks for the comment bro.

[@donjawad7733]

How did u exposé the light, did you put meter on the highlights?

[@railpressureflip]

This rules! You definitely deserve way more subscribers!

[@ChrisButel]

+railpressureflip thanks mate. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ChrisButel]

+railpressureflip working on a few more eps now. 😊

[@Hackzyyz]

so how does this flash work exactly?

[@delriogotswag]

Is he shooting w the 28mm?

[@JHuntPhotography0]

I use strobes with my film photography too. It's so much fun to do.

[@ChrisButel]

+JHuntPhotography yer it's cool right? Really loving the results.

[@alvaromonje6804]

How do you measure the light indoors and adjust the settings in the flash to it?

[@levesz1]

I know it's been 5 months, but you don't meter (I mean I don't). There is a Guide Number about the power of your flash. Flashes like the above one (contax tla200) can do TTL metering, so it is going to meter the scene for itself, and adjust the power correctly. You just need to dial in the settings you want. I used to have G1, and I was using the sibling of this flash, the TLA140, and I just set my aperture to f4, went real close, and my photograph turned out nicely. There are flashes which can't do TTL metering, then they are always firing at FULL POWER! Usually, there is a little table of settings on the back of the flash which tells you the correct settings. For example, for a subject at which is 10 feet away, you are going to need an aperture of f8 to have a correct exposure with the syncronization of the flash. Real simple. Medium format, and leaf shutter lenses can throw some math at you, but nothing too hard.

[@ChrisButel]

Hey man. Sorry for such a slow reply. I think Levente gave a really comprehensive answer to this... The short answer was yer we weren't really metering because the camera was doing some voodoo magic to auto calibrate for the flash.

[@alvaromonje6804]

Thanks guys, it’s better having an answer later when you forgot about it

[@yyhneo3059]

With what camere did you record this video? The whole video i mean

[@wuzihuzi]

That play music on set thing is such a good idea! Going to steal it

[@JoshDavid]

Solid video! Love the shots

[@katferments]

I enjoy watching your videos! I'm a photographer myself and I always love to see how other people work and what they do. Keep it up :)

[@ChrisButel]

Hey thanks Kathrin, Just finished recording the intro and outro for a new vid. Should be up in a couple of days. 😊

[@katferments]

Looking forward to it Chris! :)

[@eminem7765]

great episode man. subbed!

[@ChrisButel]

+Marco thanks Marco! Got a bunch more stuff planned. 😊

[@milandjukicprivate9598]

[@thetravelingmuslima]

This rocks! Thanks for sharing :)

[@ChrisButel]

+Jonathan Grinstead 😊

[@w33blord66]

Very cool video. Although, I will say the title is a bit silly. The "!?!" Makes if seem like using flash while shooting film us some outrageous and novel concept XD

[@ChrisButel]

Lol gotta get those clicks.

[@adrivera94]

Do you know what settings he used with the flash outdoors? I have the same camera and the flash won't fire outside in daylight.

[@s0ulsearch]

did you ever figure this out? have the g1 and mine wont shoot off either

[@adrivera94]

Christopher Hernandez it turned out my flash was fine, my shutter was actually broken so i had to get that fixed. if you’re having the same problem it could be the shutter too

[@ChrisButel]

Glad you got this sorted Angel... sorry I couldn't be more help. If you hit up Troy on IG he should be able to help with any questions you have. :)

[@lagiator]

will there be an episode on external flashes outdoors in daylight?

[@ChrisButel]

+Nick Kapenkar ummm maybe... haha.

[@vijeeshm7317]

totally love with your videos ........ great

[@ChrisButel]

+Vijeesh M thanks dude. Editing a new ep at the moment.

[@ChrisButel]

+Vijeesh M cheers bro. 😊

[@MateusSampaioj]

nice pics

[@themoderndrift]

First time watching your channel. Enjoyed the vid, and I made sure to subscribe. 👍

[@R3troGangEnt]

Love the images, great work! just wondering tho what f stop and iso you were shooting at with the flash? for these shots?

[@ChrisButel]

Hey mate. ISO of the film was Fujifilm pro 400. You may already know this but you don’t really change your ISO when shooting on film. The iso sensitivity is baked into the film stock. In terms of the f stop I think we were on f2.8 the whole time and the shutter adjusts automatically for the exposure of the flash. The contax is a really interesting film camera. It’s a rangefinder and a lot of stuff is automated. Great for street photography. Sorry I couldn’t be more scientific. This was the only time I used the camera. Thanks for the comment bro. Trying to work on some more videos now. ✌🏻

[@bolan5566]

Nice video! For streets, I also use TLA200 a lot with my G2. For portraits, not so much, it's a bit too harsh.

[@ChrisButel]

+Bo Lan yer it's cool right? I really liked the results.

[@katcarothers]

It's a lewk.

[@afdlinazmei288]

I subbed! Cool content man. Keep up the great work.

Working on it. :)

[@NongMangkut]

At the beginning I thought you said your name was Crispy Tell

[@ChrisButel]

Aussie accent bro.

[@dillonj5256]

Tried my first flash shoot. Came out terrible LOL. Wayyyyy too bright. So I am going to def go with faster shutter speeds.

[@ChrisButel]

Cool man. It's always good to experiment. I think the contax was set to aperture priority if that helps.

[@prootas]

I have a thing for bearded mem with long hair. Coolest subject for photography!

[@ChrisButel]

prootas haha I'll tell Joey. ✌🏻

[@JHuntPhotography0]

Make more of these videos!!

[@ChrisButel]

I really want to. I’m so damn busy at the moment.

[@vontaris]

Could you ask Troy which strap he is using on his G2? ;)

[@ChrisButel]

+Peti I'm not sure if he uses a strap. 😊

[@tallaganda83]

Where is that basketball court? wouldn't mind taking some shots there.

[@ChrisButel]

+tallaganda83 Chippendale

[@tallaganda83]

Cheers i wil have a look for it next time I'm in Sydney.

[@ChrisButel]

+tallaganda83 😊🤘🏻

[@griffpaint]

you could easily soften the flash , and shooting portraits on a 28mm makes the face look 2 skinny i wouldn't recommend not , however i'm guilty of it 2

[@stevek8829]

What in the H is analog film?

[@ChrisButel]

Gotta get those keywords in my man.

[@rumpelfiet]

On camera flash? Smh 🤦‍♂️

[@ChrisButel]

ShootFilm give it a try bro.

[@stranstudio]

Chris Butel sorry Chris, i don’t see anything interesting with ocf. I’m sure that guy is a great filmmaker/ photographer but this set is not interesting. Just being honest.

[@gateway833]

ShootFilm You sound like a snobby, insecure photographer

[@ChrisButel]

All good mate. Thanks for the comment. I will say though that it was really interesting the way Troy can turn something like his apartment in to a set ... in the b roll sure it’s not super interesting but I think he can really capture a mood and a vibe with the way he directs talent and the way he takes photos... if you can make your apartment look interesting then you can make heaps of stuff look good... it’s an interesting creative challenge. I also have always subscribed to the idea that natural light is better for film and photography but to see a style that is so reliant on an on camera flash and still get really cool results was An eye opening experience for me. I follow a dude named Daniel Arnold on insty who does some really cool street photography with the same set up... might be worth checking his stuff out if you wanna see how other people use this set up. Anyways thanks for the comment bro... Also sorry that it took 5 months to reply.
