LONDON POV FILM PHOTOGRAPHY | OLYMPUS OM2

Over Xmas I ended up in a bit of a film photography youtube rabbit hole and found myself on a little shopping spree and bought a film camera, 4 lenses and a camera strap (for 170GBP!)
Today I'll share my first impressions of the new setup, walk around London and show you my thought processes in this POV Street Film Photography vid!

My camera: Olympus OM2
My lenses: Makinon 200mm F3.3 (30GBP on ebay), 50mm F1.8 (camera + this lens was 90GBP)

Doing film photography will make you a better photographer overall. You can push (change) your 200 ISO to achieve different results. Enjoy the rabbit hole.

[@JimmyShixin]

cheers Graham! Yea I didn't actually realise you can change the ISO to a value that is not the ISO of your film.. apparently that can result in different levels of softness and grain? Sounds interesting for sure

[@aarontown]

looks great! thanks for showing how you shoot, but, where/how are you metering for these exposures? thanks!

[@JimmyShixin]

thank you! The OM2 has an in-built light meter that I jused used (it's just a simple little thing inside the camera) - i hear sometimes w used cameras it can be hit or miss but so far mines been fine as long as the batteries are fresh

[@justindelmedico8544]

How did you know the photos were overexposed before you took the shots? Through the light meter?

[@JimmyShixin]

depends on if youre referring to the intro or pov clips: If it's smth I said in the intro - I filmed this part last so I already saw the shots If it's during the POV it would be the lightmeter :)

[@justindelmedico8544]

@@JimmyShixin yes during the pov! I’m not to familiar with film cameras I didn’t know you can see the light meter through the viewfinder!
