Photography Then & Now - 90s vs Now

[@DustinBKerensky97]

Getting 26 shots our of a 24 shot roll of film was the best feeling in the world.

[@MrFulcrumX]

Dustin B yesss!

[@tredimango]

+Dustin B How can you do it?

[@DustinBKerensky97]

They give you at bit extra so you can wind it on. But if you're careful you can just barely get it on the spool and make use of those first couple inches.

[@tredimango]

+Dustin B thank you!

[@thienhao0910]

+Dustin B Yessss i know that feeling

[@tobybrown7586]

Then: Darkroom Now: Lightroom

[@GarArtStudios]

The overalls and jean jackets in the 90's skits. Priceless.

[@BlueSky-ub4fx]

I didn't even notice! ... that was more an 80s thing though...

[@tokekkk]

Then: You got an SLR, you're a professional Now: You got an SLR, like everyone else

[@netsurfer10000]

in the close future: the real pros are using mirrorless

[@EckRD]

And beginners wonder where the dust and small particles come from. LoL Its an SLR and not a close system like a PS. Professionals know since the film days and why cleaning kits are sold for slr cameras.

[@IsaiahSleziak]

tokekkk Camera ≠ skill level

[@JorgeLetria]

***** When you change lenses often, mirrorless cameras get dusty pretty fast. But it's easy to clean, so it's not really that big of a deal.

[@SMGJohn]

But what if I use mirrorless?

[@spikymike123]

that end acting is oscar worthy

[@matty9460]

I teared up

[@gamerN77]

6:55 Give the man finally an OSCAR ! DiCaprio can wait another year ..

[@DigitalrevTV]

What has changed since you started your photography journey?

[@JonSparkman]

polaroids got more expensive :(

[@JackFlanders]

DigitalRev TV No more film, all digital.

[@kosteliuks]

no more digital, just film.

[@krishnadoshi7442]

What music did you use both for the 90's parts and the modern day parts? What was the name of the tracks and where did you get them from? They were super catchy! :)

[@martinaee]

DigitalRev TV Manual focus is "cool" these days? I guess I'm in the business of making amazing images and not being a hipster about it. Sometimes you need to manual focus, but don't be a douche about good tech and miss the shot.

[@CIRCADES]

Nice! Can we have some analog rev? Woop woop!

[@callummacintyre3609]

Agreed!!

[@danandjenphotography4967]

Or shutter rev like they did for the Canon top twin!!!

[@Jamiemartinez06]

YASSS ANALOG REV!!!!

[@Meqanich]

ANAL REV YES

[@aimanasnil]

MeqanichHD that is so wrong... lol

[@ArmouredMedia3]

I do kind of miss the old days sometimes. It was hard work, but when you managed a good photo it meant you were a good photographer, not that you owned an expensive rig. I have a collection of pictures that I spent hours developing to their perfect potential, but nobody seems to appreciate how hard it really was.

[@Vini2142BR]

You don't believe in god, you can't apreciate photography. Kappa.

[@markharris5771]

Armoured Media I still shoot some film and do darkroom work. I’d rather spend 10 hours in there than 5 minutes on Lightroom, but darkroom stuff is purely for me and my family and I’ve only ever been a hobbyist with analogue images.

[@LeavingMyMark101]

I still like the darkroom, but haven't been in one in a couple of years. The conversation you both enacted about the test sheet result was sooo accurate to my college days!

[@realspacemodels]

In 1990 I shot 6x7 and 4x5, had the film processed, gave the transparencies to the client, then they shipped them off to a company with a "Scitex" machine and had them scanned and manipulated for the layout and print...stuff everyone does with Photoshop now. I got my first digital camera in 1996: a Kodak DC50 for $1000.

[@BlueSky-ub4fx]

I got my first digital 2004. Canon 20d

[@LlamaFluff]

So THAT'S why it's called lightroom! I just realised.

[@TheForge10]

own the light !

[@jessepatterson8897]

+LlamaFluff wow this makes me depressed and makes me hate kids.

[@shayamaddex996]

+Jesse Patterson my 8 year old brother just learned to develop film

[@LlamaFluff]

Jesse Patterson I know what film development, I just never made the link between the two.

[@VikasKM]

Same here 😊😊😊

[@5nanometers]

DigitalRev is getting quite good again. More analogue please?

[@Dnarte_]

Everything back in the 90's was a slower time where we knew we had to wait and now it's so fast we expect it to appear before us now

[@R21R]

I used q dark room for the first time today to develop photograms. It was really cool seeing the paper develop

[@EMB386]

This was definitely one of Kai's and Lok's best videos yet!

[@16blank45]

This was a really good one. I liked especially when they were in the darkroom talking about getting a Pentium and then saying how they still had a 486. I hadn't heard those terms in ages!! Good memories.

[@WYCAN]

I recently was thinking I really should start printing my photos instead of just let it rot in my computer...

[@muhannadbazzo6848]

I like the comparing not only for the major actions in photography but also they tried to do the actions with life style of each era, such as clothes, hair style, and even the music ... like this one I wish I was interested in photography that era not only now, but then I was more interested in painting especially oil painting

[@sheawilcoxson8139]

I love that they are wearing denim in the "Then" clips!

[@MotoErgoSum]

I've experienced all of the above. On the upside, learning to white balance in the dark room in college helped me later with early DSLRs in Photoshop. Those film fundamentals hold up when you transition to digital.

[@AREKU]

I really enjoy this video. Videos like this, well made and humorous, was one of the main reasons I subscribed back in 2012. Would love to see more episodes of Analogue Rev btw!

[@leliescassetjes]

Oh how I mis the dark room. I loved to watch the picture appear.

[@laszu7137]

Seems like normal pajeet.

[@mike_lambert]

Test strips! I had forgotten about them. Those were the (awful) days. I don't miss the smelly chemicals, the battle to find/set up a darkroom or the constant battle with dust. You think sensor dust is bad? Trying hanging out your film to dry and watching it attract every dust particle in the house...

[@CamMead]

School camps, Mum would buy me a $10 disposable Kodak film camera with the little flash on it, 24 exp, Now days kids have smartphones & tablets etc. Waiting to get the photos back at the end of the two weeks was so enjoyable even if it was just a whole bunch of crazy snaps to show & share around class. Today i'm so thankful to have picked back up with film after shooting for the past 15 years in the digital world.

[@CZARNYEU]

Times of my youth. Greetings from Europe

[@ShaunMbhiza]

@DigitalRev TV a disposable camera was my first. Haven't touched that in many moons.

[@shawndasilva]

lol'd at the pentium vs 486 reference

[@MrWinotu]

Thanks for creating another amusing video - it makes my morning at work better ;-

[@ThorDyrden]

The good old Zuiko OM 50mm adopted to mirrorless - the f1.8 made so much fun I now also bought a f1.4 ;-)

[@justinsane904]

The closed caption when Lok speaks is fucking hilarious. Top notch video, A++

[@MrBaervan]

I love the different soundtracks :)

[@Xoxocooks]

I love your 90's hair parted in the middle with the denim! Nice touch. Also, I just learned the term "chimping". Thanks.

[@MikeyColon]

Awesome! Well done as always.

[@SteelBustingBiker]

I started out with one the best film cameras Leica M2 back in the 60's. Range finder was amazing for the time. Shot the Rose Parade on the north side. Don't remember how I lost track of it? Bummer.

[@timjeffries9038]

Good Video guys, always funny to watch digital rev tv

[@RichardServello]

Darkroom work is the one thing I REALLY miss.

[@StalledAbyss839]

Miss the 90s so much!

[@pedroserapio8075]

Really nice work. I love this time travels.

[@vankvonq]

Miss HK so much when I saw the tram (art basel)!

[@xzajcev]

Will anyone tell me what music is playing in the background at 2:33?? Dying to know it! Shazam tells nothing(

[@kilimand21]

I think I like the idea of the 90s photography better :)

[@K3rty]

but you can never beat the feeling when you got 1 or 2 extra shots on the film! ^^ those denim jackets tho lol

[@AfrikaMo]

Great episode guys. It made me really laugh. Keep going!

[@Daniel_Zalman]

Good job, guys!

[@parule]

Very funny cause it's very true 😄 I love these kind of videos you make DRTV!!

[@futurematt5]

Great video! I have that Nikon APS compact! I used to like blowing a few panoramics even though they cost more to develop!

[@headphonehuman]

I love the fact that you're dressed up in the 90s way, too. That hair though

[@canturgan]

Then, pre-visualisation. Now, post visualisation.

[@omairjamal3027]

Hi guys. You have really informative videos. I noticed you haven't done any reviews of lens adapters. Do you plan on doing any soon?

[@eechalhoub]

Soz for the odd question, but what is the song from 2:33?

Nice guys, wonderfull video!

[@yezzaa1]

Why is there someone standing on the building at 2:28?

[@EltonFerns]

Nice soundtrack for the 90s section! Can you tell where I can find that track?

[@velvia7880]

AnalogRev > DigitalRev

[@MrWizardjr9]

i took a traditional photography class and i know the pain of doing test strips and then if the contrast isn't good trying out different filters and making 4 more test strips

[@mrgabrielssalvation]

nice video, what is the 90s-type song in the background ??

[@arawtgabi]

Hey I had that same jean vest! Narly!

[@Raptor50aus]

I had the Kodak DC210 digital camera back in 1995

[@DaedalusYoung]

Setting white balance? Only sometimes, I can adjust it later in darktable anyway.

[@CrackTheDiamond]

The music in the 90s portions was waaaay better than the nowies.

[@jukpulfer]

6:47 SO MANY EMOTIONS I CAN'T EVEN

[@KitHoongTan]

Haha I remember processing my own photos in the darkroom. You need to knock the Jobo to get rid of bubbles, then need to invert the cannister at set intervals

[@rodd1000]

"Digital Rev - The Movie" when are you guys going to do it? :D

[@Peizxcv]

What's the strip thing they used in darkroom to determine 10/15s exposure?

[@FrostMonolith]

+Lok Cheung I used to have a darkroom for my university! Now, it's just a wasted haunted locked room....

[@yunk9]

What type of "Freitag" bag is that. I like it.

[@brandonlemonds7593]

I feel like once photography became easy, everyone wants to be one.

[@sk8iny0]

What's the song playing in the background on the 90s parts? I really like it tbh.

[@Zakalwe-01]

Excellent! Love the desolate laptop-in-a-corner stuff. Painfully true.

[@ensigncook432]

the original light room made me feel so close to my art

[@lawrencecook9300]

I love working in the darkroom. It's easy to lose yourself in there.

[@girmonsproductions]

I'm still shooting on flim, everything manual on the olympus om 10. great camera!

[@Rotten730]

I loved the darkroom bit ahaha.

[@1337Cinematography]

Mirrorless cameras are awesome! thumbs up for mirrorless!

[@jesusgomez-cortes6065]

You guys should do a video on the "Darkroom" process on how to develop film. Bet Mark Chung would know a thing or two when it comes to that. Would be good to see him again in a video :-)

[@Wistbacka]

What phone is Lok having at 0:38?

[@jet528559]

i literally can only use M, manual focus with my lenses (nikon ais) did i mention i don't have light metering support?

[@netsurfer10000]

very well made!

[@michaelangeloh.5383]

You know what surprised me, actually... I recently switched "back" to film, and for some reason I didn't "chimp" or suffer from "phantom LCD" or something. - But I guess it helped that I didn't use cameras for a long time, so the habit wasn't really there (anymore) when I picked up film-cameras again.

[@flatulent-1]

I grew up on film, but when the 5D came out I jumped on board. Several months later I picked up a used 1V because I was missing film. I blew through the first roll not thinking I only had 36 shots. Boy, was I surprised when the camera started rewinding! And I didn't have a spare roll!

[@jobanski]

Haha love the jean vests and shirt! Nice hair.

[@gamerN77]

The umbrellas made me laugh so hard ^^ Awesome video, guys ! :D

[@Voodoorai]

Brilliant!

[@choyfamilyadventures]

'90s: Film - Now: digital. '90s: MF - Now: MF. '90s: Know-it Alls worked in Camera Stores - Now: Know-it Alls on KZbin. '90s: No Post Production - Now: Post Production on EVERYTHING. '90s: Fewer Enthusiasts - Now: More enthusiasts.

[@Elmex_1]

there was post production in 90s, and there has always been enthusiasts.

[@SMGJohn]

***** It was quite complicated and expensive also a health issue if you did it for film, but of course if you did it for DIGITAL in the 90s then its no different than today

[@laszu7137]

Every enlargment is post-process by itself. But digital intermediary was already becoming standard.

[@AlexSadman]

What the song in start video? It's Oliver?

[@Zerojquan]

What was the 80's background song playing in the beginning?

[@coolcookies1111]

Or use one of those filters where you turn it and it changes 5:19

[@ankurdebbarma6363]

PLEASE HELP! my one month old canon 600d/rebel t3i wont turn on even with full charged battery

[@n1k1george]

Then: Click, click, click = $, $, $... Now: Click x 10,000 = 9999 worthless images for free.

[@agogobell28]

+Tom Burchill Especially with medium format. Every frame costs $2.

[@elpancreas8925]

+agogobell28 Large Format? I have a local shop in mexico that sells medium format film in like, 4 dollars (80 pesos)

[@heliosblade1]

question: what do you guys think about digital storage for photos and videos. also which is the best online storage site for photos and videos??

[@limyohwan]

has Kai been reached out to yet to head a certain motoring show in the UK?

[@JumbleMT]

this was great!

[@DavidChristmas]

What's the background music?

[@jakesh86]

Beautiful Video.

[@PirateB99999]

what was your first digital camera ?

[@Landes1024rs]

Canon A530

[@AkshayKumarX]

N D5300

[@pvtjoker90]

PirateB99999Kodak EasyShare V570 Dual Lens

[@ej_tech]

Canon A470

[@ladycameronaubernon]

Seiko Epson L-410.

[@RCAvhstape]

90s: listened to Tool and Alice in Chains in the darkroom. Now: listen to Bieber while using the computer

[@arnasbal4404]

What about listening to Tool using a computer then ? )))

[@canturgan]

Having thought about it, then, photography was an art. Now, it's a process.

[@bhattkishan9]

Haha, you forgot to mention the way when color pictures were out, it was all the craze and now black and white photos are trending again. X-D

[@XiaNingTian]

That last one happened to me once. I had thousands of shots I took and then my computer died on me. It was at that point, I kind a gave up. I also seemed to have misplaced some of my undeveloped film rolls too. Great.

[@JIYkp]

How did you not talk about medium format?

[@RozelyLindim]

Back 90s the point and shoot by Kodak is popular here with 400iso film as the first choice
