Film photography has an enchanting quality with its rich, timeless colors and a touch of nostalgia that lends a captivating vintage aesthetic to each shot. It truly captures the essence of a bygone era. 🎞️ Exploring the unknown through the lens of a vintage era. There's something magical about capturing life's exciting moments on film. Every shot is a journey, every click a story. FilmIsNotDead !!!

For B&W, pull the film in harsh light, push film in low contrast situations, then either push or pull develop.

[@TIPSinc01]

Yeah but then you have just one light situation for a full roll. I like to push it 2 stops always, even in harsh light I get good results at F16 and 1/500th.

[@JsTubes-z9z]

Nice. I'm just trying out film after shooting exclusively digital, I nearly switched off when you said reduce the ISO to increase the exposure because that would have the opposite effect in manual mode on digital. Then you popped back in and the penny dropped, this applies to film and the metering of a scene. Great explanation of all the processes, even this old codger got it.

[@TIPSinc01]

Haha yeah it’s a thing when switching from digital to film. Because on digital you’re really changing the iso. On film, the iso is always the same because the film has a sensitivity. But when you meter by lowering the iso, you’re overexposing. Good to hear that you’re trying out film again! Any questions, feel free to ask!

Newbie question 😅 Say i have an ilford 400 and will shoot it at 800.. What happens if i tell the lab that i shot it at 800 and what happens if I dont? Thank you!!!!

[@TIPSinc01]

No worries! I'll try to explain haha. If you have a film of 400 ISO and rate it at 800. You are underexposing the film by one stop. Therefore you need to push the film in development by one stop. So if you tell the lab to push the film one stop this compensates for the underexposure, this will increase the contrast and grain and also with color film could have some color shifts. If you don't tell the lab your film stays underexposed by one stop, therefore the shadows will be muddy and have less detail in it. This isn't the nicest look and most photographers try to avoid this. One stop isn't the worst, but if you go beyond that it will really mess up the image.

[@JardineFernandez]

@@TIPSinc01 Thank you for taking your time to respond. I understand it now and will also print the cheat sheet you provided for free. I liked your comparison about pulling the film similar to overexposing it but with telling the lab you shot the film at a lower iso.

[@shortassbd]

great explanation. Is there any stocks you would recommend pushing, would most bw benefit from this? I always overexpose my portra 400 but haven't tried pushing at all yet.

[@TIPSinc01]

Color film really handles over exposure. I like that look so I almost always (where I can) overexpose it by one stop. I like to push my HP5 two stops to 1600. Really comes to life. And a lot of other black and white film stocks do this too. But you have to experiment for yourself. I can say that Ilford HP5 really does the job!

[@isidroundercover]

I have a question if Im already half way done with a roll iso 400 And I get in a low light situation would I be able to push the film Or would I have have a specific roll dedicated to low light? 🤔

[@TIPSinc01]

You’ll have to dedicate it to the full roll 🫡

[@lioncityhyperbole]

Hi there thanks so much for this! If I push my iso during shooting and reduce my compensation exposure correspondingly (also during shoot), would I still have to push during development?

[@TIPSinc01]

Hi! Pushing film only happens in development. So what you do is intentionally underexpose the film (box speed = 400, rate it at 1600 = 2 stops of underexposure). Then you need to push it 2 stops in development to compensate.

[@lioncityhyperbole]

@@TIPSinc01 thank you so much!

[@TIPSinc01]

@@lioncityhyperbole no problem at all!

[@MarquesRomeu]

@TIPSinc01 To be honest I don't understand the diference between Overexposing ( by setting the camera to a lower value ISO than box speed and not telling the lab) and Pushing film and have to tell the lab about! Can you please explain the diference? Thank you

[@TIPSinc01]

Yeah for sure mate! Overexposing means you’re giving it more light than the film “needs”. That impacts the colors and overall look of the film. A more pastel look is what I like to call it. It also lowers the contrast by having more detail in the shadows. Negative film loves light and hates under exposure. This way you are able to protect that. So if you have a 400 iso speed film, and rate it at a lower speed, let’s say 200. You’re giving it more light, because the film stays a 400 speed. You could also change the aperture for instance. You meter the scene at F8 but then change it to F5.6. Same effect. Pushing film means you’re tricking the camera/meter that there’s a higher speed film inside of it. So you have a 400 speed film, but want a higher shutter speed for instance, you can set the light meter or camera to 800 iso. Now you’re underexposing, because the film stays a 400 speed film. So you’ll need to compensate for that in development. You tell the lab to push it 1 stop. They’ll leave it longer in the development process to compensate for the under exposure. This increases contrast a lot and gives a whole different look to the outcome. Most likely you would push a film if you need a higher shutter speed in darker situations. But you could also just like the look! Hope this clears things up a bit, but if not feel free to ask!

[@MarquesRomeu]

@@TIPSinc01 Ok, so I think I got it now: Pushing or Pulling have more to do with needing/wanting to play with shutter speeds and for that we'll need to have the lab compensating for it; Not telling the lab about it will be wen we are just dealing with the light available to the film, I think I got it. Thank you so much! Btw, the look you gave to your b&w photos in the night club are just amazing, increased contrast looked amazing! So for that please remember me, how do you did it?

[@TIPSinc01]

@@MarquesRomeu or of course if you just like the look of pushed film. Or you need a closer aperture. For the black and white film I used Ilford HP5. Which is a 400 speed film but very flat to begin with. Therefore it’s beautiful to push it. I push it two stops, which means 1600. Increases a lot of contrast and also makes the grain more visible. Exactly what I need!

[@gameuploaderish]

If I push film by 2 stops do I need to increase my shutter speed by 2 stops as well ?

[@TIPSinc01]

If you push the oil 2 stops, the easiest way is to put the light meter 2 stops ahead, so instead of 400, you go to 1600. What you'll do is underexpose it two stops and then compensate for it in development. This means you're either setting the shutter speed 2 stops faster or the aperture two stops tighter.

[@jordanbathe8772]

Do I tell the lab I shot at 200 instead of 400 for potra 400 or do I just give it to them to develop normally

If you pulled it one stop, 400 -> 200. You have to tell them to pull it one stop.

For Ilford 3200 film, it's been said to shoot it at 1600. So is that considered pulling? do I tell the Lab to pull it by one stop and reduce the development time on the film? It would be great if you could explain the benefit of Ilford3200 being shot at 1600.

[@TIPSinc01]

It’s a 1600 speed film but pretty flat, therefore amazing to push. So what people do is push it one stop (3200), sometimes even two (6400).

[@thanospeppas9697]

Thanks for your video ,when you push your film you overexpose also ?

[@TIPSinc01]

You’re welcome! No I never overexpose my film when pushing it. I’m actually underexposing it and compensating for it in development.

[@nigelgrieves5682]

So when you overexpose say 1stop, when using an external Light Meter how do you meter for the shadows or highlights?

Just set your lightmeter’s ISO value one stop over. So let’s say from 400 to 200. ✌🏼

[@moha2131]

hi i have question if I shoot portra 400 at 200 iso in my light meter what iso I put 200 or 400 ? thanks you (:

[@mohamadsyafiq883]

Hi, if i was using iso film 800, f16 and plan to overexpose 2 stop which is at 200,by then my shutter speed is 200 right? what if i want to open up aperture to wider let say f5.6 due to overcast situation, do i need to retain shutter speed at 200 or how?

[@TIPSinc01]

If you use the sunny 16 rule, you set the shutter speed the same as the film stock. So 200/250 is right in this example. Because it’s overcast you’ll need to adjust the aperture to F8 or F5.6 and keep the shutter speed at the same as before.

i dont understand much when u say need more light then push iso from 400 to 1600 then raise shutter from 1/60 to 1/250 . so it cancel out. no more light added right? i'm sorry i'm just novice to this

[@TIPSinc01]

I understands it's a brain breaker lol! You're tricking your camera that there's a higher speed film inside your camera. So you'll underexpose the film and then in development you'll ''compensate'' for that. Like, I want to shoot higher shutter speeds but on iso 400 it says 1/60th at F2.0. If I push the film in development by two stops I can set the meter to 1600 iso and it'll tell me that I can shoot at 1/250th now. But of course it isn't really 1600, so you'll need to leave the film longer in development. Even when explaining, I still need to think about myself too. Sometimes I just think, don't overthink it too much. Just set the lightmeter to 1600 (2 stops from 400), shoot, and tell the lab to push it two stops! Check out the newest episode if you like, there I push HP5 to 1600.

[@TIPSinc01]

You're welcome! Overexposing definitely helps getting some detail back into the shadows! You could also try to meter for the shadows. If you push the film two stops, you'll need to rate 400 as 1600. (400 + 1= 800, +1 is 1600). If you then want to overexpose you rate it at 800 but still process it as +2 1600.

[@mrca2004]

My 35 mm film cameras have 1/8000 sec shutter speed. With b&w film like hp5, tmax 400 I like to shoot it at 250 iso. That moves the shadows up the toe of the curve for more contrast to start with in the shadows. But than moves the highlights to the right so I pull the film out of the developer 15% sooner. Since shadows are fully developed half way through, that doesn't effect them but it pulls the highlights back to where there is detail in the shadows. Now I can darken my shadows that have more tonal contrast and have detail and at the other end, I have detail in the shadows that I can brighten. It gives me the best negative/scan to work with. It reduces overall contrast, ie dark blacks, blown out highlights on more contrasty films and allows me to build exactly the contrast I want in post but have the detail and grain structure I love.

Very interesting way to shoot it! But when you want to shoot some darker situations, don’t you like to push it?

But now I use fully auto cameras for street with auto focus and exposure so can shoot at 250 and not be restricted to f/8 or 11 for zone focusing. With the auto cameras still have the option to zone focus but I sure like being able to shoot with wider apertures.

First time film shooter here. Can I ask why I can't push/pull halfway through a film roll? I've been doing this and hope I haven't ruined my film now!

[@TIPSinc01]

Because you didn’t account for pushing/pulling in the first half of the roll. So let’s say: you rated it at box speed iso (400). That would be the right exposure. If you push the film one stop you rate it at 800 (so you’re underexposing it effectively by one stop because the film is 400.) therefore you need to develop longer to compensate for the one stop underexposure. So if you push film that isn’t rated for pushing, you’ll probably get overexposed negatives back. They’re hopefully not ruined but they’ll probably look a bit flatter/lighter then they would otherwise. I would continue pushing the roll, because otherwise the new half of the roll would be underexposed, that’s always worse. Let me know if you get it, otherwise feel free to ask!

Stand develop it takes an hour or 70 minutes it might save them but the darkroom is where it comes to life with f stop printing 😊

Have you ever tried changing up the dx code in order to get faster iso?:O kinda unrelated to pushing and pulling but related to exposure? aahahaha

No I haven't tried that before haha. It's related to exposure because you're changing the ISO reading, while the film stays the same of course. So if you change the DX code from 800 to 400, you're overexposing the film by one stop.

@@joelmulder No!?! holy shit, then I been lied by the thousands of film photographers who for some reason cannot figure that one out and constantly tell me film is better than digital in every way and makes you better photographer because It makes you put more effort into it and how they ditched that "sterile digital". Those are some hardcore mental gymnastics to me. In reality you pay a lot more for a very limited amount of photos and because of that they take a little bit of extra time and care to take their photos but that's it. How that can make you better than getting immediate feedback and the opportunity for endless shots so you can be always putting the effort of learning composition, framing, illumination. Good luck mastering that with film, that would cost a fortune and take a long time. The value of a film photo to most amateur photographers is more individual due the costs and the limited amount than true artistic value. No im not a digital fanboy im actually enjoying a lot analog photography but I can't stand those nonsensical arguments, why people don't simply say "i like film photography because I enjoy the process, the look etc" instead of saying emotional nonsense.

[@MeandFilm]

Please don’t judge me!! Why am I so confused by the difference between over-exposing and pushing 😩 I can not figure this out. It shouldn't be this hard lol! So, say I have Cinestill 800T and I'm shooting indoors and I feel I need more light. So I change my aperture or shutter to accommodate 1 stop. This is overexposing but NOT pushing? But if I had 400 and shoot it like 1600 that's pushing and not overexposing? Please help my brain comprehend this 😂 I’m missing something but it's just not clicking!!

[@TIPSinc01]

Sorry I took a while to respond! Let's see. If you're inside and you need more light by changing the aperture or shutter speed then you're just metering the right way. Not overexposing. Overexposing is when you meter a scene and then you add an extra stop of light. Pushing means that when you have a film like you say that is ISO 400 and you set your meter to 1600, you need to tell the lab to push the film 2 stops. 400 -> 800 -> 1600, is two stops. Overexposing is something you do in camera. Let the lab develop the film as normal. Pushing is tricking your camera that it has a higher speed film in it, it's not of course. But then you tell the lab to push the film. This will add more contrast, bring up the highlights and crush the blacks. (also the grain). Be aware of pushing color film though, this can create some color shifts. Hope this was helpful!

Very nice of you to answer these questions man!

[@zhongyao-sc1lj]

overexpousured no need to do anything developing?

[@TIPSinc01]

Exactly! 👍🏼

[@quarteratom]

So you're underexposing/overexposing the images on purpose, but during development you leave the roll to develop in the chemicals for less or more time.

[@TIPSinc01]

Yes all according to what you want to achieve!
