Showed my 8 year old son Sebastian how to load a roll of film into a Nikon FM2. Took me a while to remind him he only has 36 shots and I sent him out with a 20mm F3.5 AI lens to shoot some shots. I did give him a quick lesson on using the focus screen but told him to shoot wide shots at infinity and I set the aperture and shutter speed to F4 1/125. He shot about half the roll of film and wants to finish the roll by the end of the week and get the roll developed. Such fun! That inspires me. Thanks Ali for you wonderful down to Earth 🌍 channel! Love from 🇿🇦

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

@@jacquesnel8384 wow! That’s totally magical Jacques! Introducing our kids to these new concepts and activities is such a joy. My girls are currently obsessed with Instax and thermal printing

[@ArchiesLens]

This videogame I played recently called Season a letter to the future. Amazing storytelling and your character takes polaroid photos and field records audio. So stunning and beautiful. ✨

[@karmagroovy]

This channel is like a snowball rolling downhill... it just keeps getting bigger and the momentum you are creating is amazing. Kudos to you for inviting so many photographers into your ever expanding tent! Photowalks, livestreams... can't wait to see what surprises come next.

So nice to see, that my digicam collection is still relatively moderate in size compared to your list here😇 Personally, I'd love to see what you think of the old DSLR cameras in your list as they tend to still be reasonably priced...

[@baharam98]

Love this channel and the great content. Very helpful and inspiring for me. Thank you so much for the great tips and info.❤

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

You are so welcome!

[@malcolmtice175]

Wow - great chat Ali. Loved the pictures. Thank you.

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

So glad you enjoyed it and thank you!

[@SteveMorton]

You have done an excellent job of rescuing this and improving on it. Thank you. You realise that I can never sell or give away any cameras any more! But that's not a bad thing I would struggle to do that anyway!! Loving all of their imperfections!

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

Thank you Steve! Really appreciated your participation and keep keeping those lovely cameras :)

[@kaipixlab]

It was a great live stream, despite the technical issues. Please do it again. Have a nice week...

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

Thank you so much!!! We'll definitely do another :)

[@grassIand]

I watched it live and listened to the replay, now for the slide shows, I'm watching it the 3rd time😂

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

Hahaha! YOU'RE A HERO

[@brucecggallagher1949]

I love your family photos. I heard the Rick Rubin/Malcom Gladwell talk...as excellent as you describe it. Cheers from British Columbia (I too regret the sale of a Rollei camera....but now have a sublime Minolta Autocord with a lens that is magic.

[@niqvuk]

amazing photos... i think im addicted now

[@ArchiesLens]

Freakin love Rick Rubin I just picked up that book and I’m stoked to dive into it. Love your channel and your mindset. Keep on bein great. YOU inspire me🌸📸✨

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

AWWW 😘💐💕 Thank you!!

[@ArchiesLens]

@@OneMonthTwoCameras of course. thank you!

[@Mark_MKII]

I love your energy - thanks for sharing your passion! I picked up an E-PL1 as a 'family' camera based on your enthusiasm, and I'm so glad I did! I went on a short hike with my 5-year-old daughter and she was so into using the camera and took some great photos! The sensor on that thing has such a beautiful quality. I can't wait to do some shooting myself. (I've got a Nikon P6000 on the way too)

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

That is so awesome! I hand my EPL1 over to my daughter as well and she loves it! Thanks for sharing.

[@cassiacries]

Excellent upcycling! Oooh a Nikon! and it's even a D40 !

[@kiwipics]

I really love the live stream .... Keep up the great work.

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

Thanks so much!!!

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

@@kiwipics I love Analogue Insights. Watched for years but excited to also see the other channel referenced!

[@lesz344]

I like your channel, especially the community with Lucy Lumen, snappiness, Sophi Lee and others. Also also fan of Mattias Burling, Zenography, and the Shakespeare of All Camera reviewers, Blunty, from 7 or 8 years ago when he raved about c-mount lenses, Pentax Q and Pentax MX-1. If you haven't tried it yet, do the original Ricoh GR Digital from about 2008 with 8 MP sensor, can take no larger than a 2 GB SD card and shoots RAW but takes about 15 seconds to write to the card. But the pictures it takes are pure Tri-X in b&w. I also like the Ricoh GX100 with a zoom, terrific macro, and you used to be able to get it for $100 with the external titlting viewfindeer.

[@flowermaze___]

Cool to see and hear of the interconnected camera worlds. Both film and digital! It would be useful to maybe link through all of these other channels you and others were talking about? Kind of tricky to search them in this KZbin algorithmic world. Hmm!

[@cliffordwilliam]

Rick Rubin's book is so good. i listen to it on my commute to shoots. checking out the podcast today!

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

That is awesome! Love him so much.

[@Kenaroni]

@@OneMonthTwoCameras I hope you saw the Tom Petty documentary “Somewhere You Feel Free”. Rick Rubin is featured a lot in it. It’s officially here on KZbin

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

@@Kenaroni I have not! I love Tom Petty. Thanks so much for letting me know!

[@Kenaroni]

@@OneMonthTwoCameras You’ll love it then! And I really like the found B&W footage that the movie is centered around. Nice & grainy and film looking.

[@howardtuohy3366]

Irene Rudnyk is also worth a look. I use the Lumix 12-50mm on my E1, the lens that came with the L1. I think it makes the E1 shots even better, especially b/w.

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

Ooo I saw that lens! Sounds very promising. And yes, great shout out for Irene! Love seeing her videos.

[@WhoIsSerafin]

Never heard of him but that beard is epic! I want to photograph it!

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

He is AMAZING! Go Google him and enjoy :)

[@chacecampbell2697]

I just recently watched the new experimental horror film Skinamarink and I found the cinematography and overall look and vibe of the movie to be massively inspirational. They achieved a gorgeous retro/lofi look by using a camera with wildly good ISO capabilities due to limited light sources and around 40 noise/grain overlay textures per shot at any given time and the final result is just beautiful. The trailer itself is one of the best I've seen and will give you a good idea of the vibe. Now I want to see if I can achieve an even remotely similar style with my Olympus C-740 or Nikon Coolpix p5100 haha.

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

WOW! This sounds awesome! Thank you so much for sharing (starts furiously searching for trailer and clips…)

[@zackhuggins3618]

I'm really into the slideshow format, I always love seeing the photos you get with various cameras. Also, shoutout to Walter Murch! Conversations was one of my textbooks in film school, one of the few that I kept. I need to dig around and find my copy, I had forgotten about it! It's been almost 20 years, I'm probably due for a re-read. And regarding inspiration, I get a lot of my inspiration from film. Film is where I learned about composition and storytelling, and I try to bring something cinematic to photos that I take. Whenever I'm in a creative rut, there are a few go-to movies that always spark something. 8 1/2 is one, True Stories is another. Recently I watched The American Friend by Wim Wenders, and the cinematography in that blew me away, it's probably one of the most visually beautiful movies I've seen recently. With regards to the LX100, I had one years ago and had trouble really gelling with it. I got some photos that I love with it, but always felt like I was waiting on the camera. Specifically the lens. It always felt so slow to extend when you turn the camera on, and slow to zoom, and I felt like I would miss shots. Ironically that's why I tried the Fuji X30, I wanted a manual zoom more than I wanted the bigger sensor. I pulled my LX100 out of the camera closet a few weeks ago to see if I feel differently now. I do agree that the files were crunchy, and fell apart in bad light much faster than say files from my Olympus EM5II.

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

Whoa that is so cool that you know The Conversations! I love Wim Wenders; thanks for dropping that inspo in. My LX100 just arrived today so I'm excited to reunite and see what I think of it all these years later.

[@zackhuggins3618]

@@OneMonthTwoCameras Yeah! I'm excited to see what you get with it! I have a feeling you'll inspire me to bring it out of retirement :)

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

@@zackhuggins3618 spoiler alert: ITS AMAZING

[@johnnyc.5979]

Why is the Fujifilm finepix 4700 zoom camera getting SO expensive on Ebay, and everywhere else? What's the magic about this camera?

[@skwirl828]

what lens do you use on the Pentax 645Z

[@diegoefh]

Hi Ali, love your chanel. I have a question, is there any settings for your powershot pro 1 raw files before putting the OMTC profile?

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

Thank Diego! I will have to go back and look at those Powershot files as I don’t remember off the top of my head. I can’t wait to review that camera 💕

[@aplaystore]

great video!! can you upload your presets in DNG? to be able to use it in the Lr app for mobile! thank you!!

[@moviebod]

There is something about Fujis that just floats my boat. I have 11 (of course)

[@OneMonthTwoCameras]

11!! That is magical.
