21:23 "are people really coming to hang out here" *is hanging out there*

[@jagwire8671]

patrolling the mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter

When I got this assignment I was hoping there would be more gambling.

[@antlerbraum2881]

I just lost a months worth of caps.

[@lordofgonzo]

Could be worse...you could have taken an arrow to the knee.

[@Sam-em1ic]

This channel is like a half assed hiking channel mixed with a half assed photography channel mixed with a half assed travel channel. I literally can’t imagine how it could get any better

[@42crazyguy]

That's like 1.5 full asses of effort

[@mark.audacity]

you had me til the last sentence 😅

[@Birky_]

“Banging at the back door for sweet release” hahaha what a wordsmith

[@Fortnite87463]

Real grainy days fans only watch these videos while having a difficult time on the toilet

[@DiggingForFacts]

Frome either BBQ or Taco Bell

[@Shmooexe3440]

I really enjoy the break down on each roll of film you have added into your latest videos. really enjoy every video you do, i hope you dont stick to your idea to one video a month in your podcast, though i understand why you would, keep it up Jason your vidoes are truly inspirational

[@BrittonHphoto]

Love the breakdown of keepers / portfolio shots you are doing now in your videos! I have started looking at every roll I shoot with that mindset and it has really helped me narrow down the aspects I like in my photos.

[@O.Persson]

The Hasselblad is the fastest camera to load. But then again as a swed I was of course born with a A12 back in one hand and a C12 in the other. Love, love, the redscale images. They are fire!

[@senbilverglate9638]

Jason is so lucky he gets to be Caleb's passenger princess 😮‍💨

[@cristianhanca8739]

Man, your soundtrack choices in this video were insanely good! It added a lot to the atmosphere tothe environments.

[@ghlenu2352]

taking pictures at the mojave almost makes you wish to switch to digital

[@MichaelJohnsenOslo]

This is the most elaborate brokeback mountain account I've ever seen, and look everywhere for those. Good job guys.

[@alexistoide]

The sand dunes location looks like the album art cover for Tame Impala- The Slow Rush.

[@SeeMick1]

The buried building shots really reminded me of the cover of Tame Impala's The Slow Rush

[@ninodjuras]

Same, literally the first thing I thought when I saw it. 💪🏻

[@viktorkubanek3649]

That music combined with the dope-ass shots near Roy’s has a thriller movie vibe, gave me goosebumps. Really nice music choice, what a sequence!

[@cristoffbaloc4231]

Man oh man, those videos of your are really fun! Easy going and atmospheric at the same time! Keep it up! Thank's for all the free eye candy!

[@alhOOO2O]

What’s so great about your videos is that interspersed within the humour are some really great tips, for example the advice to use the yellow filter to add a little more contrast on the photo of the buried house

[@henningwestalder]

One of my favorite episodes so far. The humor and atmosphere are on point. (And the pictures are also cool I guess) Hope you are able to take all the time you need for your future projects!

[@SatanSupimpa]

04:43 the one on the right is the one for me. Really like the light reflecting on the car.

[@evanduffy1015]

Gonna need an aerochrome alternative update asap

[@SeeMick1]

I gotta say, I've really enjoyed the long-form videos

[@jamesm9560]

Thanks for letting me tag along. Looked fun.

[@timothysears6970]

A pleasure to watch. Great shots. I live up here in the desert and when I go out, I am always on the lookout for you two guys. Thanks.

[@markgoostree6334]

Glad to find this video! I was wondering where you were. Always fun to see y'all out there shooting film.

[@archiefilmphoto]

The red scale photos remind me of Blade Runner 2049

[@JonKurtz]

4:41 something about the glow of the horizon just takes the first (left) shot to another level. Just fantastic.

[@LBAW]

Dude, these redscale shots are all Banger McSlammers.

[@Benjaminjohansson93]

Great video, loved the redscale photos! Especially the first roys sign shot🤩🔥

[@internetoddities]

Always love your videos, great music in this one

[@blakestevenson7261]

Amazing as always

[@The_LaughingHyena]

That left most Roy photo is probably my fave of the film shots I've seen of that sign. I like it because it is more "complete" sort of feels like an environment while the right one, yes, is dark and moody I think feels a little too empty with the darkness. Plus, I think left most composition and lighting is more Hopper esque. Thanks for the video!

[@aperturecollect]

I admire you for having figured out how to use the grafmatic backs. Mine seemed more trouble than it was worth so eventually I just used regular film holders which is what I used when I started to shoot 4x5.

[@rexypoooo]

the amount of train horn goes by in this video makes me cackle

[@Say.ah15]

Babe wake up Jason finally posted again

[@itzyamancam8561]

He has pegboards now, he’s growing stronger and stronger.

[@StanielBapes]

I don't mean to attack your decision, but why would you shoot 4x5, and then diffuse it, if you do not want the extra sharpness it offers? Isn't that one of the main points of shooting it over 120 or 35mm?

[@the_last_rangefinder_society]

Another gem from the scatalogically inspired Crown Prince of downbeat Lo-fi film dialog

[@aidesbnlee5422]

You are brave to enter those broken buildings, I am afraid of going in for the uncertainty of falling cellings and potential bad guys in the buildings.

[@jaydenvisnaw]

I just drove to Palm Springs from Utah. Love stopping at Roy's. Wish my pictures looked half as good as these lol

[@wontufree]

I love the 4/3rds format

[@DLivingston]

Wow, those images at the start are so good! Lomo Redscale is so good. Loved my roll I shot last year and def need to shoot again. Those redscale images are insanely good and that walking blur shot is very cool. WOW 7:15 Hass bw shots at 1600 are solid.

[@mik7062]

Love your longer videos so much. Your personality and character are questionable but the longer videos rock. Love you Mr Grainy

[@joanapedro6234]

Beautiful composition. Simple and very balanced. 17:29 Thank you for sharing so many good photos and so much useful information.

[@Lomogeek]

I'm digging the redscale, it sorta has this apocalyptic vibe to it. Also, the B/W shot from zzyxx rd would have been awesome on redscale.

[@bernardkealey6449]

The garage wall aesthetic of the studio is more jarring than the hair, but other than the lack of Baxters the content was excellent.

[@ryanbhangdia]

wow these might be some of my favorite images of yours to date. love the one at 16:44, its so dystopian and I can't stop looking at it!

[@NunoAlmeidaPhotography]

That one looks crazy good!

[@mikejankowski6321]

First, I was almost in tears from the opening humor. Then the redscale shots. Awesome!!! Now I see some more of the sand dune that Caleb showed. Great post all around. Nice putting the identical shots on different film next to each other, facilitating easy comparison. What was it that activated your adrenaline? Lastly, thanks for the food shot, it looked good. As I said to Caleb, you do a good food channel on the side.

[@jimhofman3179]

I need to try that technique of putting a swinging bag on my tripod while taking exposures. 😂

[@scouthanamura2380]

the photos you shared here have totally convinced me that I need to shoot some redscale immediately.

[@laurensmonster41]

Currently recovering from the concussion I suffered when I fell off my chair when I heard this video was not sponsored by Squarespace

[@TheUniversePokemon]

at 12:10 there is just something about that photo that is just awesome to me. That has to be one of my favorite indoor environment photos I have ever seen. There is something about the way the light is hitting the chair closer to the camera that makes it feel fake like its painted somehow but I know that its real. Awesome work.

[@hankry2798]

Man's liked halations so much he shot only halations

[@samvarleystephens]

that redscale slaps so hard

[@SeeMick1]

I would love for you to do a video on how you guys find these locations. They're so cool.

[@wesley_b]

@14:58 is the winner in my black heart.

[@theowlfromduolingo7982]

The redscale shots look amazing. Reminds me of Blade Runner

[@clawdawg7248]

This was awesome.

[@AndrewAhi]

loving it

[@MsGscoot]

love your vidyas Jason keep it up

[@AndrewZeletrainStudios]

Was at Roy's last month and shot some Kodak Color Plus. wish the sign was on while driving back. Great video!

[@pdx503]

Channeling Jason Lee with the 4x5 and that stylish hat. But for real, another banger

[@gcantstop]

Lol. Them old Toyota's do that. Had to hammer the starter longer than I should have.

[@OUROMONO]

babe wake up, grainydays just posted a new video

[@GarciaDoesGaming]

Am I really here this early? Always a treat to see a new episode.

[@drew657]

I usually don’t like redscale, but every single one of those was a certified banger.

[@dcallan812]

The sand in the building photos 😘👌 As for the others some are great too, some are keepers. Great video 2x👍

[@trippwilsonphoto]

aside from my usual dryer than the Sahara dessert, sarcastic jokes, you've genuinely improved as a photographer dude. well done.

[@SixSideDice]

It should be the left one, 100%. Astonishing photo, man.

[@franciscovarela7127]

Yup, some very good photos at Roy's.

[@mizu7565]

Ayyyy here we go again

[@RobertSmith-en9ii]

no baxter appearances refund plz

[@DGJTvlogs]

Here we goooo

[@Pepsiphopia]

Oh I need to make me some coffee for this

[@michaelsherck5099]

"To baldly go where no one has gone before." 😂 Your hair has abandoned ship but don't worry about it: it's a lot easier to take care of this way.

[@VariTimo]

If the tones are too cool you can warm them up during scanning. No color negative image is created without color correction. Even when making analog prints you need to dial the colors in the way you want. 800T can look just as warm as Gold.

[@zachjohnson8259]

Zzyzx is a beautiful spot there’s some unoccupied buildings at the back with the lakebed in the background amazing story behind the place as well

[@TommyGrisselFilms]

Jolly good film, bravo

[@ModernVintageFilm]

Also bring back Kodachrome, momma

[@patrickrostker6693]

Sweet redscale! Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@tiduffield]

Came for the photos and video. Stayed for the sound design.

[@zhouheng6740]

20:08 My favourite photographer @NickCarver also took several shots for this building!

[@frappoGarcia]

I want to have the confidence Jason has while shooting a piece of cement

[@robertmoranelli]

So the only time I seem fold laundry is when I'm watching a GrainyDays episode. I'm gonna need you to go ahead and create more content because I'm a wrinkly mess when there's large gaps in time.

[@AndyDay]

Awesome.

[@csisbw]

But seriously the rays shots are lurrrvvlllyyy

[@blankspace0000]

Those redscale shots ooooo 👌 👌 👌

[@areareare9953]

I got some nice shots out at that Desert Research Facility That You Mentioned. I was a geo student, so I was allowed to play there. To get splashes of light, you should try the lava tubes out there.

[@tedphillips2951]

I work as a construction consultant & several years ago I was inspecting an abandoned 18 story hotel in New Orleans when I came to a room where I opened a closet door with a frightened homes person. We both were quite surprised & didn't want him to freakout so I told him don't worry I won't tell anyone you are here. Then the next day I was inspecting with one of the owner's reps & as we went by a room I said to the rep there is a dead body in there. If you know that smell you never forget it. We were not able to access the room but latter they did gain access & there was a dead person. For me abandoned buildings are not something I do for fun!

[@csisbw]

Redscale makes me want to go out and waste my time taking MID shots too.

[@kaiditmn]

YES! I NEED THIS! YEEEEEEEES!!!!!

[@thomaspopple2291]

I just tried some redscale myself recently. Interesting. I used Redrum from lomo which is 800T. My results were more yellow than I expected but I think it is because there is no remjet layer. I may try it again with a regular film to see if I get better redscale instead of yellows.

[@stevenpearman2261]

release the drunk pod ep! the people need it

[@scottsinaz3000]

A lot of nice shots! And you are looking very Ansel Adamsesque in that hat.

[@jonkk]

Actually super dig the photo at 11:03, that slaps

[@MOZfreek00]

Weird, I just shot that location in Baker, CA. As well. I used CineStill 50d tho - totally agree with you about the graffiti being so uninspiring when shooting this location. Wished I would've gone inside the hotel but honestly wasn't in the mood to potentially fight a desert tweaker to the death that day.

[@joecomeau6111]

I just gotback east from being out that way. I def should have shot more black and white. Hoping my 4x5 portra on roys comes out ok

[@markmanning8933]

All right!!!

[@ChrisVidouras]

Ah the old familiar friend the "F*ck it shot"! Hahah Great video, cheers from Greece!

[@Noah-lj2sg]

19:56 no one will get this but this song sounds like its from the Scooby-Doo First Frights soundtrack

[@Animontius]

Lets gooooooo!
