good iso tip at the end too !

Good to know I wasnt the only one unimpressed by its daytime performance. It does seem to produce softer detail when up against the beloved Cinestill. Thanks to your video, I now see that it excels in specific areas! Night photos, or taking it to a dusty ghost town(we have those in AZ, could make for a fun western shoot)! At first glance, I highly disliked this film, now im curious about the possibilities! Thanks for persuading me to give this film a second chance!

[@NathanTrimbach]

Hope you capture some good shots with it. Yeah I think AZ is the perfect place to test it out more. I also liked how it did in golden hour in Las Vegas. Could make for some great shots where you are. Cheers!

I think we both came to the same thoughts. I hated Metropolis when I first shot it. but I have grown an appreciation for Metropolis in specific settings. Currently I am shooting a roll with a mist filter to see if I get a monochrome Cinestill look.

[@NathanTrimbach]

Nice! Yeah it's my goal to find an application for each film I shoot. Resetting expectations and understanding the strengths and staying within the limitations. Can't wait to check out your mist filter shots Mike!

So one thing I had as a takeaway from shooting metropolis myself and I mention this in my #filmstocktryouts , is that Metropolis does much better shot in urban areas where the scene is busier, with lines & architecture. Something I saw from your first roll (the roll you didn't like) is that alot of the shots are more outside of the city aesthetic, more open and less buildings. I think that might be why you're not so keen on that first rolls images.

[@NathanTrimbach]

That's an interesting take. I'll have to keep that in mind next time I shoot it. As I mentioned though overall I like the color palette of the film at night. I'd have to experiment more in the day to see what I like with it. May do some more street shots with it. Thanks for watching!

Bangers! I like this film, it feels nostalgic and dystopian at the same time

[@NathanTrimbach]

Yeah for sure it has this unique look and mix of feeling like a western and cyberpunk I think! My next video is about Lomo Redscale at night and that film especially looks post apocalyptic! Thanks for watching!

[@darrengodssonfielding]

Haha I just published me thoughts & results from shooting Metropolis in one of the world's biggest; Shanghai. It's an interesting film for sure and I think it has it's use cases, but I'm very keen to see your results from night shooting. About to hit play.

[@beeku392]

looks lovely. Did you compensate on developing time for shooting in 25/50 iso?

[@NathanTrimbach]

Thank you! No changes to development (push/pull). Just did as normal. I have found that color negative is very forgiving for overexposure and it's especially needed at night. Lomography doesn't publish data sheets with reciprocity like Fuji and Kodak do. And I have found overall they need more light especially at night. Hope that helps!

[@czelendzerii3985]

Also have you tried Lomo purple with a warming or yellow filter in a place with lots of vegetation

[@NathanTrimbach]

No I haven’t yet but that’s something I should try when it’s warmer here. Thanks for the tip!
