Get Started With Film Photography

[@MangoStreet]

Who here is going to give film photography a try?

[@fatalerok]

Mango Street 🙋🏾‍♀️

[@adityarox257]

Me!!

[@TrumpetDoc]

I shoot with a Canon AE-1 and I'm so excited to see y'all shooting with one too!!

[@khr97yuni]

Me! I recently thrifted a film camera and bought a bunch to try out. Can’t wait to see how the pictures turn out😉

[@Strawbsmedia]

Mango Street I’ve been shooting film for almost a year, can’t wait to see other people’s results

[@kylechen4148]

best skillshare ad of all time

[@cr2372]

That explosion

[@privatepeepers2130]

That ad 💀💀

[@HeyThisIsAndrew]

I came here for the new Ad. It did not disappoint. By the way these film photos look absolutely incredible

[@thewintereaglefly]

''The Leica is my favourite camera to shoot'' It's an M6, if you paid all that for it and it wasn't your top 1, I'd be pretty sad

[@royandescartes]

say what you want, but this man, is an amazing photographer! my goodness, yo the photos he took of Rachel on the floor and on the bed look so Filmic. Just perfection.

[@billycasimir1469]

A 12-minute video? By Mango Street? This is the best Christmas present ever!

[@MKNYC_]

I got my hands on my moms AE-1 program when I was 6 and wasted a whole roll of film and from that day I was hooked

[@theundefinedphotographer]

I think one tip I wish I knew before I started film photography was to understand the exposure triangle through digital first. I knew nothing about photography when I started, so it ended up being a really expensive learning and trial-and-error process

[@tayzonhannah]

Love how this channel never fails to keep it real lmao “Don’t touch the remote. We got bills to pay.”

[@luciawilliams1602]

Mad props to photographers who shoot with film on a regular basis, especially those who develop their own photos!

[@sc818bdjohn]

"Just gonna head back to LA and finish out the film" Takes 10 epic shots...

[@ichbrauchmehrkaffee5785]

Pro Tip for finding cheap and great film cameras: Look for the early Canon Eos cameras (the ones without "D" in the name) or something like a Fuji F80 Those cameras have autofocus, Lightmeters, auto- and semi-auto modes like today's cameras, they also feature Ef or F-mount bayonet, which means you can still buy brand new lenses for them. Plus, they're super cheap on ebay, since they are not as "cool" as those "hipster-type" cameras like the Minolta or the Canon A-series or Voigtländer.

[@petersom6814]

Started with my grandpa’s Canon A1 film camera since 2001, and I shoot digital but prefer medium format film now.

[@GABE_is_here]

This channel inspired me to use my old film camera a few months ago where they compared digital and film cameras. I've been shooting with my point-and-shoot film camera and I'm using it to capture my college life.

[@BlackMargin666]

I'm amazed how you guys have so many interesting portrait ideas (throwing a batch of leaves, shaking head, etc) instead of those boring poses.

[@CarlosGutierrez-lu1kv]

Love film so much!!! Hate how it’s becoming “trendy” to shoot film cause now these cameras/developing is going up in prices. But awesome video! Love it!!!

[@fcallophoto]

It's not because of that. Higher the demand, lower the offer so that doesn't make any sense. Film industry is becoming expensive for two reasons: 1)Not many companies investing on it, so it's kind of niche (Yes, I know there are a lot of companies producing new film and even Kodak bringing some of them back but still it's nothing compared to digital) and 2)Producing film nowadays it's expensive because the formula had to change in order to avoid being toxic or dangerous so they have to use newer materials which cost more money.

[@keimahane]

@@fcallophoto Film Cameras have gone up in price, there is no doubt about it. I have watched the prices constantly climb over the last 5 years. I bought a mint Nikon FM2 with 50mm/1.4 for $125 about 8 years ago. Last week I saw the same camera, body only, in same shop priced at $340, it is not in mint condition. F3s are also priced way too high these days. As for film and chemicals, you are right, they are slowly becoming more available and coming down in price, which is great.

[@joejoe4games]

@@keimahane 125$ for a Nikon 50mm 1.4 is a decent price on its own, the camera is just the cherry on top... Unless you're looking for a specific model of film camera you can pretty much get them for the price of the lens they are sold with. I just got lucky with a 20mm 2.8 and an Nikon F-801 (together with 2 more old Zoom lenses, a camera bag and a few rolls of expired film) for 160€ again: the price is pretty good for the lens on its own and the camera is just a nice bonus.

[@hieuovanminh5967]

In Vietnam, film rolls price is increasing higher every year.

[@omegaman1409]

There are ways to keep costs down. You can sent the roll to be developed and get it back then buy your own negative scanner. Of course buying in bulk is always cheaper.

[@starylize]

thank you for posting this! i did film last year in my final year of high school, and i REALLY wanna get back into it.

[@Eleni_I]

This is so helpful and I found it useful seeing what the shots turned out like with different techniques, films etc.

[@ogrodyzuzanny]

Point-and-shoot are my fav film cameras, I love use it on parties. No one knows what will come out of the pictures, especially when the pictures are taken by several people. XD

[@christtofthewave4273]

your videos always have the best vibes. that small montage of you guys each taking pics of each other was so heartwarming.

[@bseligson1]

I just picked up a Canonn AE-1 last week and shot my first roll of film the other day. Great video and it really summed up a lot of my research.

[@rickbiessman6084]

I LOVED the ambient rock song you included.

[@theactivespirit]

Daniel’s portraits of BC came out so great.

[@karenpaxton]

Disa Chantel they really did. The colours and composition are on point!

[@yasmineiliana]

I’ve been wanting to get started with photography and a ton of signs came into my life from my friend starting out, this video came out, and today I was lucky enough to find two very generous people who sold me a canon eos elan iie for $13 and the other no longer does photography and is donating a camera and two lenses to me. Super excited to get started!

[@crissignori7482]

I have had several cameras Including Hasselblads, Leicas, Nikons. I sold all my three Leicas a few years ago when I went to digital because digital is just so quick but it does lack the magic that only film has. Now I am planning to use my Hasselblad and possibly go back to a Leica. It is great to see a video like this here - Nice work !

[@brandonhattiloney]

You guys have the best sponsor reads out there! Love the creativity!

[@alex.mathioudakis]

Nice video. I'm really enjoying the resurrection of film, as more and more talented creatives such as yourselves go into the game. BTW, I'm pretty sure BC's Canon is an AE-1 Program, rather than a standard AE-1

[@scrptwic]

Have not shot film since my first DSLR in 2005. Digital is so much easier . I remember keeping one film body with ASS 400 film and one with ASA 1500 film . Recently I purchased a Pentax Spotamatic I have not tried it yet I bought for the M42 lenses and filters that came with the camera . Takumar 35mm 3.5 , Takumar 50mm1.4 Radioactive lens , and 135mm 3.5 all with caps and hoods. All work fine on my DSLRS Maybe I 'll give it a try

[@michaelgriswold1809]

I went back to film (35mm) using Canon's EOS cameras and EF lenses do to the high cost of going to a DSLR full frame camera. All used equipment from Ebay of course in excellent to mint condition.

[@LisaRettenbacher]

I have the minolta x700, and i shot a film about 4 years ago. It's a bit embarrassing, but I haven't even devoloped it yet. But now I really want to get back to it again... Thanks again Mango Street ;-)

[@saina6171]

This made me pick up the old cam that I made fun of, from the 90s. Old is gold. Age does change people

[@tanzeelmehraj]

This video is like therapy to me ! Wow ! I'm so calm right now !!

[@XinhaoZheng]

You're pretty right. I found a Canon AE-1 Program in my grandpa's attic. I bought batteries and films, and have been totally into it!

[@jennytrinh6802]

When you for real thought they were expecting a child and turns out it's the best ad ever

[@Janfey]

I'm watching this because i inherited old 50's TLR, 20's-30's bellows camera and 50's Russian rangefinder camera. I really want to take some photos with them and see how they turn out.

[@LindsayDaly]

"Check Poo-Paw's attic" you guys are too much lmao

[@MattFaris]

As a film maker, this has inspired me to try film photography! Thanks guys.

[@Oxydus1]

I shoot with two 35mm film cameras: Rollei SL35 and a Zenit 3M, and for rangefinder I use my old Fed2.... but basically I mainly use film on my medium format Zeiss Ikon super Ikonta, for the rest I shoot with digital mirrorless.

[@rejnboljunikorn]

Difference between two leaves photos with boots is insane. It inspired me to try new kinds of film. Thank you guys for this and every other video you made for us, love u

[@MrWeizhi926]

So, is no one going to point out that it's actually pronounced as 'mew' instead of m-ju?

[@MangoStreet]

no, someone already pointed it out

[@tuananfam5896]

Mango Street thanks god I can’t handle it

[@mounorman]

i always pronounce it as" mewtwo" its the way it is ,also it's the pokemon ;)

[@gregorybissell4255]

I only shoot film right now I only clicked on this video because I enjoy how well done your videos are.

[@Lilix-nm1xh]

I kinda like the Leica M6 but also want to try some Fuji and Olympus. Still can’t decide XD.

[@shawnvine4918]

I liked the video, but it does make me feel a bit old. I started out with film and only recently picked up a DSLR. Nice to see people trying film again. Takes away the instant gratification of digital, but it is fun.

[@EricFloberg]

If Vivian Maier were alive, she would've smashed like and subbed. But, she also probably would have told you not to develop the film so whatever.

[@MangoStreet]

thanks, but she’d probably hate us.

[@EricFloberg]

@@MangoStreet Yeah, probably, but she was crazy so whatever.

[@geofox9484]

Just found my parents old ae-1 program in mint condition with a 210mm lense, really lost but excited to get started

[@twoatraay284]

Honestly Minolta x-700 was my first camera in 2014 and I still love it

[@AniketWakade]

I still have my dads film camera Yashica bought in 1982

[@karenpaxton]

Aniket Wakade I also have a Yashica that my Dad gave me, among many others.

[@JP1050x]

Yashica = Dad cam

[@michaelfuller2153]

You should try a TLR. 120 film is readily available & the old look-in-the-top twin lens reflex is great for composition.

[@keimahane]

@4:37 I am a Grandpa, lol. The Canon AE1 was the first camera I bought after High School and I still have it, great camera for sure.

[@StephenMilner]

Hi, what a wonderful video. Keep up the superb work! I look forward to your next video.

[@thenateblack]

For a second there I thought you humans weren't going to use any music. Love seeing film make a huge come back - incredible shots. Love you both!

[@normandong4479]

Having shot film for many years, I can tell by this video a younger generation of shooters pick 35mm cams with auto & programmed settings. The best way to learn analog photography is to use fully manual SLRs and some B&W film. Using fully manual cams like Canon Ftb, Minolta SRT101, Pentax Spotmatic or K1000, there is no microchip to help you. You read the meter and dial in that combo of aperture & shutter speed. When people pick up a Minolta X700 or Canon AE1, which are good cams, they can bypass the learning experience of full manual shooting. All 35mm cams will get you to some point, but setting an example for others should ideally involve fully manual cams. All work but this is about setting an example too. Best of luck and have fun.

[@Moe-ex9lb]

i love ur promotion clips for ur sponsors , very fun and creative

[@derVlogdahalt]

Since you and many other people on Instagram just love to shoot film, I wanted to give it a try. But I have to say, I don't know what all the fuss is about. Colours don't look good, especially not on a point and shoot and I think the overall results of digital photography are way superior. At least for my style.

[@thomascharleston4045]

derVlogdahalt It also depends on how you expose, how you scan the film, and also how it’s developed. It’s a lot of stuff to go through rather than digital to receive good results but once you get it right, the results can be beautiful. And yeah point and shoots you really have no control on anything which can be annoying compared to digital and other film cameras in which you have more control.

[@thomascharleston4045]

Ullrich Gebhardt couldn’t agree more! makes you slow down your process since every individual frame comes at a price

[@tarahowell7238]

Yes!! Love this video! Recently got a Pentax K1000 for free in a local Buy Nothing group - I’m excited to actually get some experience and experiment with film!

[@tulikasaha3400]

I am so so excited that film photography is making it's way back. My first camera was a Kodak film camera 😍

[@fcallophoto]

It never left.

[@Bobby_sprinkles]

Going to pick my point and shoot back up and take some casual shots

[@ChairmanZhongXiNa]

Note: the frame counter on most film cameras don't move unless the back is closed. If you keep advancing in the hopes of reaching zero on the frame counter, you'll just run out of film to advance.

[@AlphaRheaProductions]

This video couldn't have come at a better time

[@FolkeFox]

A mango Street Video? About Film Photography, on christmas, nice

[@AGluver170]

Wish the Provia wasn’t so expensive. Would love to try it out!

[@danielhumes]

You can also zone focus with rangefinders that way you dont have to rely on the focus patch. depending on your F stop works way better on wide angle lenses. 28mm or 35mm

[@krisjustkris3465]

You can zone focus with slrs as well.

Hello Great Video can you advise are the different types of films available similar to the Picture Styles that a Canon EOS digital camera has. For example a Canon digital camera will have a Portrait setting is that equivalent to a Kodak Porta film??

i love your channel ,Mango Street!

[@johannjcqs5270]

I want to downgrade in a way and get an film body to rediscover the experience of shooting analog. I own couple of Canon fd lens but I am hesitating between classic slr with interchangeable lens and a Canon point and shoot. What would you do? PS we are talking canon tx, Av, AE1 vs canonet 28 or QL17

Hi guys! Is it possible for you guys to do a list of the recommended film labs in the US for developing. That would be awesome if you could. xx

[@yunusadem]

Hi, I don't really know much about film cameras so I have a question. Why does the colors come out so different in the photos? İs it due to film they are using or is there some kind of editing going on?

[@rohansth]

Love these long tutorial videos

[@katelynnmendoza7861]

I recently bought a minolta srt 100 and i know how to use it the only thing is im kind of confused on how to know that the battery is working or like know that it is on for sure
