On the underexposure v. overexposure point, you can recover more information from the highlights, but color reversal film needs to be handled without over-exposing.

[@SkylerWagoner]

Good tip! I appreciate that!

[@OliviaRuby]

@@SkylerWagoner 1. RAW Photoshoot videos, just you and the model in your element, no explaining just you at work. This would be so satisfying to analyse. 2.The business side of being a photographer: Pricing, planning, workflow to delivery of pictures 3. Tips on overcoming imposter syndrome as a photographer in a world full of amazing photographers 4. A guide for shooting in 35mm for the first time

[@SkylerWagoner]

@@MomentsWithBrandon these are all awesome video ideas I’d love to get around to making! I have a few of 1. On my channel but I’m definitely doing more soon! Thank you for all the ideas hopefully I can bring these to life soon!

[@kevinbrekke8823]

I’ve never been able to shoot portraits (time and scheduling) but this definitely helped inspire me to push my self a little more to take some portraits!

[@SkylerWagoner]

Yes dude do it! Even at night if you have more free time you can create some awesome work. The thumbnail was shot at night outside a shop no extra lighting either! Just the one outside the shop.

I'd love to see how you edit your film photos, you thought process and such.

great great great video

[@SkylerWagoner]

Thank you so much! 🤞

[@skullerhead6150]

So nice! You forgot to talk about the lenses that you've used tho :(

[@SkylerWagoner]

Sorry about that! I usually only bounce between the 24-70 2.8 & the 50 1.8! Hope that helps 🤞

[@SamNEllas]

Really enjoying your channel and looking forward to what's coming next. Would you say your Canon 630 is similar to a DSLR in terms of automation or is there still a lot of manual setup, light metering etc? Thanks

[@SkylerWagoner]

Thanks so much! I would say the 630 is very automatic. Almost too easy to use which makes it so great!

[@merci1632]

So if you lower your aperture are you raising your shutter speed? Not fully understanding how they go hand in hand

[@SkylerWagoner]

It just depends on how much blur you want! If it’s sunny out but you want to be at f/1.8 you would need to have a high shutter speed and low ISO, typically.

[@stylishcrush]

How do you go about finding your locations? Amazing vids

[@SkylerWagoner]

Honestly just driving around LA gets me inspired enough! I’m originally from a small town in the Midwest so anything that stands out to me here, I want to photograph.

[@stylishcrush]

@@SkylerWagonernice nice got you!!!!

[@sfavuz]

would love to get those scans ahahha! looks like in europe there is no one able to get a good starting scan from a frontier!!!!!! btw love you work! thanks for sharing!

[@SkylerWagoner]

I appreciate that thank you! I know most of these 35mm shots were scanned by a Fuji scanner but not exactly sure which type!

[@sfavuz]

@@SkylerWagonerlooks like fuji frontier bit underexposed in camera. Are you doing it on purpose? Might try to go that way, mine always looks at the limit of hdr…🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ziip1727]

can u do a editing tutorial next vid pls

[@SkylerWagoner]

Yes! Anything specific?

[@abdualrhmanadriano]

lens name please ?

[@SkylerWagoner]

I typically use the canon 24-70 2.8 and the 50mm 1.8!

[@Dariusproductions]

How much is this camera?

[@SkylerWagoner]

Between $100-$200 USD I’d say!

[@DeRkLuGsChEiSsEr1]

what editing software do you use?

[@SkylerWagoner]

I use Lightroom for coloring, cropping, masking and then skin retouching in Photoshop!

[@EastTrash]

Love it man , always different...

Thank you so much! Doing my best to put out something different for you guys 🤝🙏
