Nighttime Film Photography on the Pentax 6x7

[@olaf_industries]

who needs friends when u got a nice community, a great cam, and a nice roll of film ;)

[@jimiwexler1260]

i feel that

[@BraeHunziker]

Haha exactly!

[@morganmessner7612]

And let’s not forget amazing hair

[@mitchOrr1]

The stories you craft with each image are great. That's real photography right there.

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks Mitch 🙏🏻

[@samlukeburton1806]

Watched half this video thinking "the quality of these scans are awful wtf has happened". Turns out Ive been watching in 240p. Two photos you paired at 6:43 are my favourite - I feel like im sneaking about trying not to get caught. Great photos man!

[@BraeHunziker]

Hahaha yea that’ll do it 😂 thanks Sam!

[@makilee7556]

@0:32 i felt that. Ngl, having a friend to go out and take night photos is one of the most fun things ever. Also, love the night shots. Love how you tell us your calculations and set up. keep the night shots comin, love em!

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you very much! It’s a ton of fun.

[@makilee7556]

@@BraeHunziker it definitely is a ton of fun. Seeing nightscapes compared to the usual daytime is so interesting.

[@BronsonWilson]

Yo, You're really good at telling your story behind each shot. I also like how you combine your digital videos with your film shots to create one overall story.

[@BraeHunziker]

Appreciate it Bronson!

[@MartinBrennan]

Man the music choice slaps and fits the video perfectly. Love the blues and the moonlight!

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks Martin!

[@rasmuskokholm7044]

Don't know if someone have allready mentioned it, but when gooing for the longer exposures, and a car, bike og person is about to cross the sceene, you can take your hat/cap or anything really, and quickly cover the lens and just count the seconds you have it in place before removing it, and adding that to the exposure time. That way you can get rid of unwanted light trails across the image without jumping in front of the car, of trying to explain to someone why you would be them forever thankfull if they would walk their dog in another direction.

[@joepalmer7815]

I’m confused, how would you add the exposure time mid photo

[@rasmuskokholm7044]

You have a 1 min exposure, and a car is approaching, so you cover the lens and count. After the car have passed, you remove the cover and continue the exposure as normal. When reaching the 1 min mark, you continue the exposure for the duration, ie. 5 sec, if that was the duration you covered the lens while the car was passing in front of the lens.

[@joepalmer7815]

@@rasmuskokholm7044 ahhh I see thanks mate, makes complete sense not sure why I struggled with that one... think I was forgetting it’s film and you can expose again before winding it on. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@KylerSteele]

Liking the commentary. Shows that you are taking these photos with intention

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you Kyler!

[@clarhettcoalfield3616]

Wow - Kyle McDougall and Brae Hunziker - back to back videos, how much better could it get on this fabulous Sunday. Just awesome. Thank you.

That pic at 4:07 with the flag and truck Icey 🥶🥶🥶

[@JacobMeza]

I definitely needed this man.. Been trying my hand at night time photography with my AE-1 and so far it hasn't been too successful lol. Love seeing how you go about it

[@BraeHunziker]

It can be discouraging for sure, stick with it! Glad this vid helps 🤝

[@robinsanphotography]

The community gallery is a treasure ! So many styles, and those quality !!!

[@ilmkzli6024]

Every shot with a fence involved was a hit for me. Love all the duality in the shot at 2:33 from warm tones on the bottom to the cool blue sky and the frontside of the bushes being lit while the backside is blacked out. The shot with white pickup felt cinematic, another well executed night out.

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you very much!

[@brennan9629]

love this! really inspired to pick up my pentax 67 and go out one of these nights

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you!

[@tdvids3490]

Great work ! I absolutely love your channel, and you’re local!

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you!

[@bobsykes]

Nice! These shots are all home runs! Your museum tour guide commentary about each photo is priceless.

[@BraeHunziker]

Hahahaha thanks Bob 😂 cheers!

[@vidalschneider]

Nice Photos! Would be awesome if you could make a video explaining how you meter your scenes at night, especially in very high contrast situations

[@edejonkel]

That’s exactly my question!

[@gregsg01]

Really enjoy how you tend to go through each photo in most videos and talk about them in detail, not just technically but concept-wise etc. :)

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you!

[@diegomunoz239]

Brag the way you like tell a story with your photos is amazing. I especially liked how you told the story of the photo with the street lamp and the moon. I wouldn’t even have thought of that I would’ve just been like “the street lamp looks like a smaller moon, reminds me of Star Wars”

[@BraeHunziker]

That’s so cool to hear Diego, thanks for the comment and kind words. Cheers!

[@seanc5718]

Didn't start the video yet, just want to say you killed it with the community gallery!

Thank you Sean!

Hard to beat for sure! Thanks 🤝

[@ravidlander7467]

Beautiful results brae!

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you!

[@TheWefoundlove]

I was amazed by your commentaries on your shots. It was so interesting how you interpreted the different details in your photos. I have a class to teach tomorrow and I'm sitting here, watching your video while taking notes. I love film photography community! 😍

[@BraeHunziker]

[@pizzaman207]

5:03 took the words right out of my mouth. These are amazing and group perfectly together.

Thanks Joep! Oh I will 😉

[@adventureStaley]

That was super rad

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks! Appreciate it!

[@robertpilgreen5962]

I love! how you can get great results by overexposing film that gives your shots, that ''ambience'' for a desired effect. especially getting those stars and the moon in the night sky. 📷👍

[@Shmyrk]

DAMNNN man you really extrapolate meaning out of these photos. I dig it!

[@metalfingersfilm]

you don't miss bro.

[@TheMPhotography]

Great shots! I also love the space spin you gave the series. I need to get out at night as well and try shooting film at night. Your video motivates me.

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks Markus! Definitely can pull a ton of emotion and feeling out of nighttime photos. Would love to see what you’d come up with!

[@MSV94]

Great photos! my favourite is at 4:44 . Tip: if you have a black pro mist filter you get a softer light rathern than a star even with a high aperture.

[@BraeHunziker]

Ooh good looks! I definitely need to invest in a pm filter soon. Thanks!

[@connerlaity5569]

Thought the Fortune cookie paper was the portra for a split second. Either way, a tasty snack.

[@BraeHunziker]

Might sub fortune cookies for Portra rolls honestly

[@adambrya7595]

Really great exposures, glad you added the apps used for calculating the exposures

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks Brian!

[@cameramansam3240]

Hey Brae! Another awesome video. I have been shooting a lot of night photo photography recently on my rz, and I believe I have a tip that may help you! When you're shooting a neighborhood at night and a car is about to pass by, cover your lens with your hand or a dark slide. This will block the light from entering your exposure, and should have no real effect on your image. Hope this helps! :)

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks for this! You’re definitely right and unfortunately this didn’t come to mind when I was shooting lol. Oh well.

[@matthewthomas5997]

Bro your descriptions are mad funny 😂 Oh yeah this photo has a goldfish in which really gives the photo those pet shop v i b e s

[@RJMPictures]

For sure

[@Tyler_Finley]

Great stuff! I’m not sure if you have done this yet, but an explanation on how you meter would be dope. I use myLightMeter pro but don’t know much about reciprocity failure or if it’s the same for 35mm vs medium format.

[@BraeHunziker]

Hoping to make a vid about this soon!

[@Tyler_Finley]

Brae Hunziker dope, I have a roll of cinestill 800t waiting to be shot at night but I don’t want to mess it up haha. Do you think bringing my digital and taking photos with that to dial in settings would work? Though probably considered cheating but film is new to me

[@matthiasbrenner5479]

Hey Brae! Great photos again! I love seeing how your channel is deservedly getting bigger and bigger. Regarding the light streaks from the tail lights (which I personally dig anyways), I guess you can avoid them next time by covering the lens while the car is passing and just add those couple of seconds at the end, right?

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks Matthias, and yes you’re definitely right! Unfortunately, this didn’t cross my mind in the moment lol

[@joepalmer7815]

1:43 I much prefer the one with the car lights anyways

[@fandyus4125]

You should do a video tier rating filmstocks like Negative Feedback did lol. Would definitely watch.

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks for the idea!

[@fandyus4125]

@@BraeHunziker No prob Brae. Be well.

[@harrisoncable5885]

When a car drives by all you have to do is cover the lens with anything dark like a shirt or a jacket or even your hand if you need. It doesn’t affect the photo at all I have done it many times.

[@BraeHunziker]

Yep, just didn’t think about it in the moment :/ thanks!

[@lynchpin]

Awesome vid as always man. I'm hanging to get out at night with the 67. How did you go focusing? I've heard some people say it's not so easy with the 67's finder + ground glass. Thanks for sharing! Dope shots.

[@BraeHunziker]

Dude it is borderline impossible haha. You can barely see anything. I’ll usually just guesstimate the distance from the camera to the point I want to focus on and set the lens to that distance. I also try to shoot mostly at f/8 or f/11 just so I have some slight room for error.

[@lynchpin]

@@BraeHunziker aw shit haha. I just had a waist level finder arrive, I'll bust that out to try when I do a night shoot. Hopefully it'll help!

Haha a heavy struggle

[@OPforLIFE2010]

How do you calculate reciprocity (how ever the word is spelled) is there an app you stand by

[@brandongranados206]

I’ve been trying to figure that out as we’ll maybe next video we can get a little explanation on how you calculate it in a video?

[@BraeHunziker]

Reciprocity+ app!

[@wkhuai]

cant wait to switch to medium format soon......

[@BraeHunziker]

Enjoy!!

[@eugenekutz7626]

Very nice indeed. Have you ever thought to make a blue hour photoshoot?

[@BraeHunziker]

There’s one up on my channel, but actual blue hour is such a short duration of time I usually can’t get a ton of images off in time haha

[@RocketinExile]

Great stuff man. Howd you meter?

[@BraeHunziker]

Mylightmeter pro app or i use my digital camera

[@RocketinExile]

@@BraeHunziker thank you. Did you factor in reciprocity failure?

[@zguy95135]

Next time when you see a car coming, just cover up the lens (without shaking the camera) and add some more time to the exposure.

[@maxdaniels4326]

These photos came out really good i reckon dude, something a bit different 👌

[@BraeHunziker]

Appreciate it!

[@Darmonmoore123]

Ive just got myself a pentax67. Any tips for focusing at night? Or in general. If close enough I usually calculate with a tape measure.

[@BraeHunziker]

I rely on the distance markings on the lens quite a bit. I try to shoot at f/8 or f/11 mostly and just set the focus distance to cover the range that my subject falls in. It's really difficult to see through the viewfinder at night lol

[@Darmonmoore123]

Yeah that's what I figured man. Absolutely it is haha. Thanks for the reply mate.@@BraeHunziker

[@TheBrickCraftsman]

Hey! What is the reciprocity app you used in this video?

[@BraeHunziker]

Reciprocity+

[@patrickbateman6768]

why dont you just cover the lens with your hand when a car is coming and then uncover when it passes?

[@KylerSteele]

That’s a great idea. Going to be using that for my night photos

[@fionnanmurphy1852]

how would that work?

[@patrickbateman6768]

@@fionnanmurphy1852 Think of it as the aperture closing up when u cover it with your hand and then opening it back up when u remove it. When you use your hand to cover up the lens they'll be no light coming in so you wont get the streaks of lights coming from a car or airplane.

[@kathleenhurkett]

please do black and white film 🎞
