[@meed8738]

My great gma house @8:35. Beautiful shot you got of it.

[@MacShootsFilm]

That's amazing! So glad I was able to capture it! Thanks for watching!

"Too lazy to get up in the morning....drinking in the evening." haha so true. 😂I feel the same way!

[@MacShootsFilm]

Right?! Hahahahaha.

[@elizabethwhitten7732]

This is great. It's my childhood ghost hometown. ❤

[@MacShootsFilm]

Thank you!

[@jasonwhitehead4068]

Great locations, fantastic pictures and booze in the evening. Almost forgot the great backing tunes 👍🍷

[@MacShootsFilm]

Film + booze = happiness! Hahaha Thanks for watching!

[@JonathanRobsonPhoto]

I love that your film shots have less dust on them than your digital video ;-). Love your photos and laid back style, its what's its all about. Great stuff!

[@MacShootsFilm]

Hahaha! That dang mirrorless Sony attracts dust like a magnet when changing lenses!. Thanks for watching!

[@J4060]

That is attitude. People say don't shoot when harsh light. Meanwhile, a lot of photographers shooting their cameras, having fun, whatever the damn light is. Keep on shooting, have fun. All the best, dude.

Hey Mac, I really like the cinematic direction your new batch of videos have gone. This last one was very inspiring. Good work!

[@MacShootsFilm]

Thanks for the kind words! This feedback tells me I'm heading the right way. Thanks so much for watching!

[@RustyTripod45]

You photo objects that I would never shoot nowadays, and you do it so well that if I tried I would be hard to value my images. These are definitely inspiring.

[@MacShootsFilm]

Thank you! THe most banal and ordinary things really intrigues me!

[@alexisayala3308]

You do a really good job at explaining what it is you’re doing when composing a scene. As well as how you’re metering and what lens you’ve got attached. Awesome shots and great video 👌

[@MacShootsFilm]

I appreciate that! Thanks so much for watching!

[@kiwininja0305]

I live here 🧍🏽‍♀️👀 made this run down town look different. Have a different perspective now, nice work

[@MacShootsFilm]

We enjoyed shooting it! Thank you.

[@MrStylemed]

Very good photos.

[@MacShootsFilm]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@christianvanremmen3521]

I really have to photograph more ghosttowns during mid day. Nice shots👍

[@MacShootsFilm]

Yes you do! Film loves light and is very forgiving in midday sun. Thanks for watching!

[@NunoAlmeidaPhotography]

Solid images, great work! The location was awesome as well!

[@MacShootsFilm]

Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!

[@nerwanisnoone1937]

Great as always, loved those shots 👍👍

[@MacShootsFilm]

Thanks for watching!

I worked Jessie’s market in the 70’s raised down the road from there

[@bradwiebelhaus7065]

Went there many times.

“If your photos aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough” That one? It was Robert Capa 😺

[@MacShootsFilm]

That’s it! Thank you!

[@behindeachfilmgrain]

Great video Mac! The heat is too much for me lately in the high 90’s and draining my energy to photograph in these conditions! I did a paid gig for my local Marathon this weekend and it was amazing to see how dedicated these runners are! I wanted to shoot more of the CineStill 50D but I felt it was too much to try and shoot it while working but maybe I should have! Haha. Great job man!

[@MacShootsFilm]

It’s over 105 here daily! Too hot! Shoot that 50D! 😂

[@cuad555]

GREAT job on this. Slight error at 0:26. The text reads Globe, Arizona when you’re in Gila Bend, Arizona. Love the vid though!

[@AntMcLean]

Nice video pal! I love harsh light shooting for the same reasons!… tho I’m trying to give up the beer to help fund my film habit 😂

[@MacShootsFilm]

haha!! Thanks for your comment.

[@j.k5654]

Now these are way sharper than from the previous video. Definitely check the M6 out.

[@mrghost3209]

Super nice images with the Lomo! Did you use any filters on the lenses here with the maximum shutter of 1000th of a second or did you manage to meter everything with just the camera and lens? I love my M5!

[@iangill3613]

I go through G/B regularly……never thought It was a decent photo opp……man, you have an eye Thought I was a decent photog, but you have it going on……nice ones….B/W ?

[@Sanigobass]

do you develop your own film?? if you make a final rinse with Distilled water and photoflo you´ll get rid of the water marks in the negatives. nice shots

[@HopefulForever-ln5xm]

Lomo 400 is Kodak Ultramax, just saying

[@olympus2OM]

At least 1,5 stops overexposed. The photos are all way too bright for my taste.

[@MacShootsFilm]

I've been experimenting with exposure recently. All of these aren't technically blown out, but def. over at least 1 stop according to my histogram in Lightroom. I like the look it imparts on the image, but I definitely understand your feedback on it being bright! It is. :)

My friends wedding photographer blows out all the highlights . It’s her look.
