i'm happy to hear you've started wiping again

[@ethanlowryphotography]

I’m a dirty digital shooter but I feel you on the gravitation to flatter colour images and contrasty AF b&w. That is exactly my vibe right now.

[@georgialilley4316]

Love your point/comparison of the fall off of shadow detail in the world of painting! Awesome reminder that aiming for perfect exposure every time isn’t necessarily the be all end all, and that it’s okay to embrace happy accidents, or find artistic value in them. I think having discussions like this makes it easier for us to be intentional with our work and find our unique voices as photographers. So thanks!

[@verypigeon]

thanks a lot for the book mention!!!

[@VirtualGuth]

I typically find that when I feel as if I couldn't be happier, I've simply set my point of reference too low. For example I recently felt this way even though I was forced to pick up my dog's shit in the backyard using only my bare hands given that I had totally misplaced my gloves and shit shovel. Then I realized that this was truly a big step up from earlier in the day when I had to clean out the septic system with nothing but a roll of paper towels. It just goes to show that even when things are good, they're still shit.

[@VirtualGuth]

On a brighter note, I don't think I could ever be happier than when watching your channel. Wait, never mind. Seriously though, consistently well done videos that are both informative as well as entertaining. Thanks for keeping it going.

[@nickb863]

Some constructive thoughts for you, on reading these realist paintings. As a realist painter ;-) In the Remington painting, he is absolutely filling in the shadows. If you look at the two front horses, in their chest region (do horses have chests? I think so...) you can see it is an occlusion area that is shaded darker than, for example, the cast shadows of the same horses. Same if you look at the front facing side of the carriage. The left corner is in occlusion, while the center, getting some ambient light is shaded slightly less dark. So all the shadow detail is there! Remington is simply painting with, what we painters would call 'compressed values.' So in other words, there is still a full value range, it is just hella brightened. Where you really see detail fall away is in the highlights. There is virtually no detail in the carriage windows, or in the lanterns, or in the white hair of the horses. Here's a good view on understanding how realist painter's compress values kzbin.info/www/bejne/opDag2p5bbt9bdE

[@AlGreenLightThroughGlass]

Compressed values..I'm going to steal that. I just shot with a vintage lens with results that fit your explanation perfectly.

[@acmdv]

Dude, that guy in your video on your phone gave all those reasons for shooting digital over film - They are the reasons for shooting film over digital. Digital photography has become so "easy" I turned back to film photography because I don't just want to take photos, I want the challenge film photography brings over the digital.

isn't it The Art Of Photography?! Donno when he put out this video but he made some videos about analog and they were quite positive as far as I can remember. But meh, hate that gatekeeping

[@AWrenOutdoors]

Jason, I've been running into the same love affair for overexposed B&W but with the original formula Acros 100. It turns it from a boring, flat, but well balanced roll into something grainy, extremely contrasty, and like a Baroque fever dream done in charcoal. Add in an orange filter and a CPL, and it turns sunset skies into blockbuster dramas. I'll have to run some HP5 and see what she looks like, but for now I've got enough Acros 100 to last me until my attention wanes, or someone jingles keys and takes my camera in my next intervention.

[@BillyMcBillface]

Glad to see the famous “favorite photography dog” made it into the video. Also, to the man doo-dooing on film photography in the corner during the sexy transitions, know that you have motivated me to get off my ass and go shoot some film today.

Love film photography fell in love with it about 15 years ago. When I fell into the Lomagrsphy trap😔 As I’m old and still remember film photography as a thing I had no problem getting into it .Nowadays I have trouble developing film I haven’t shot any rolls in a long time I do have a development kit but I kind of suck at it that’s my only issue with it otherwise I would shoot way more.love the AF 1.

Yes yes yes to letting shadows be heavy. Always find myself liking that look, and usually it is a happy accident.

I'm from the UK and the light isn't always ideal and as such HP5 pushed two stops is my go-to at least 80% of the time. Otherwise taking pictures for 6 months of the year is a real struggle.

You are a funny guy. I'm here because I bought that camera for $1, with a roll of Kodak 200-36 in it, whatever that is. A new battery from Amazon, resetting the date back from 1998, and I'm shooting. After seeing your photos taken with it, I think I'll make Salvador Dali faces...slipping and melting over 1950's lunch counters, and VFW bars.

[@VariTimo]

If you want low white and high black points that’s totally achievable with color negative film when scanning. It’s best to shoot the film at box speed for this to make sure the highlights aren’t getting to compression. And box speed will still give you all the shadow detail with Portra, Gold, or Fuji Superia.

[@chonsy23]

Thunderous applause for that jab at the other channel 😂

[@StrangelyIronic]

To be fair, a lot of the angry brit's points are true, but the thing about photography is that it's a subjective experience. Well, it can be, and if it is for a person then all the rational/objective points can kind of take a hike. The same can be said for PASM and a couple command/function dials being a hell of a lot more efficient than individual analogue dials for everything. Objectively it's faster, especially when what feels like 95% of youtube photogs use Aperture priority or Program along with automatic ISO that only ever use an exposure comp dial. The argument at the end about photoscanning is the one I use to not spend tons of money on 120 film anymore and basically only ever shoot 35 or half frame (portrait 3:4 exposure on 35mm film half the width). I find myself just walking around with the lightest/cheapest digital body and solid lens that still gives a good enough for me image. Lately it's been a GX85 with a 15mm PanaLeica, 20mm Lumix, or one of the MFT mount manuals from TTArtisan, Laowa, and 7artisans (mainly 35mm for 70mm equivalent). I always bring my Nikon SP, the main primes, and a couple rolls in my bag, but I just live vicariously through channels like this for film shooting. If only someone would make another R-D1 where you've got the digital sensor to record shots but that's about it with everything else mechanical or simple electronic.

[@Mrshr3dalot]

when we getting that photo book?

[@wo4200]

The guy in the video on the iPhone makes a lot of points, pretty much all of them bad. To me, the only convincing or at least semi-convincing argument against film photography has been that, unless I am actually making darkroom prints, I am only engaging in a sort of photography that's basically quasi-analogue which removes or at least can remove a lot of the limitations that I've decided to place upon myself by shooting on film. (There is also the idea that digital editing can pretty convincingly replicate the same visual effects that film photography produces, but I see that less as an argument against film than an argument for digital). I get these and I kind of buy them, but at the end of the day I'm pretty stupid and even though I'm bad at chemistry I still have a better understanding of what I've produced when I take a picture on film than when I shoot digital since all of the computer stuff is too much for my brain to handle. In other words, I prefer to make something that exists and I understand how it exists over making something that possibly kind of exists, that I don't understand, and that I can delete forever with a click.

[@mynewcolour]

I love colour darkroom printing but can’t do that anymore for reasons. I agree that most of us are working ‘hybrid’. I think I like the analogue process because there are more things to go wrong/different. Imperfect control and more chaos.

[@postgarodegoogle2389]

A one that have been verified and revised by a professional (you're good to go for 40 years photography session with it). The canon t70 has a very good ttl system and he's not in the hype train atm so, might suits you :-) Also lenses are a big part of the results in film photography. Canon Fd lenses, (and new Fd) are going pretty good with the canon t70 body. I started with a 50, then a 24, and then a 35 but from another brand (Takumar). I'm telling you this from my personal new/beginner experience with film camera :-) Just, a SLR body (+TTL metering) and a lense verified by a professional is (in my opinion) the thing that is gonna lead you in the right direction to begin with. A camera bought from a thrift shop that does not work is in the end time and money lost.
