Same Camera, Same Film, Different Photographers: Olympus XA2 Shoot-out.

In this episode me and the wife head to Bury to compete against each other to get the best photos with our identical cameras...loaded with Lomochrome Metropolis. Also, I talk Harman Phoenix.

What a great concept - two photographers with the same camera/film in the same location. Great to see the difference in each choice of shot. The narrative and story-telling of the journey really adds to the purpose. Thanks both.

And thank you, for watching and commenting. Always nice to see your name in the comments section 🙂

I enjoyed this too. Well done. Simple is best.

Thank-you! 🙂

I bought 2 roles of this because they say it is saturated but your photos look flat and grainy. So maybe not saturated like Lomo said.

Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. I think it's one of those things about film photography where there are so many factors at play...not just the film but the camera, the exposure, the development, the scanning, and of course the final output with processing software and further processing as part of the video. I think - and I might be misreading - that the film is expected to have mainly muted tomes with some pops of colour...which would match my experience. We were shooting quite muted scenes in flat lighting, and rated the film at 200, when we could have shot anywhere between 100-400...if we'd shot more varied colours on a sunny day at 100 ISO then we might have got something closer to what you are expecting. Let me know how you get on with your two rolls...it'd be interesting to compare. Thanks again for taking the time to watch, and happy shooting 🙂

Both your efforts are great, the camera if a good quality, mi have a XA4. The film is truly garbagge. Canada

[@studioswinden]

Thank-you. I'd like to try an XA4 one day...especially for the close-up focusing. I'm not sure I'd get on with the wider angle though...35mm is as wide as I usually go. My go-to is a 40mm lens. Have a good week 🙂

[@lelandfitz1762]

wait, you have markings in the UK telling people to keep 2m distance from another?

[@studioswinden]

I think those signs are from back in 2020 and have just never been painted over/cleaned off...it’s amazing how things just become part of the scenery!

[@lelandfitz1762]

@@studioswinden That only came to my mind after posting that question, right! They just look so permanent like markings for crosswalks. In Germany - at least what I saw - those markings only were placed on the ground with some kind of glue but not that permanent kind.

[@Answersonapostcard]

There's stil a bit of signage sadly. It was only ever guidance anyway.

Excelente, lo simple es hermoso: hermosa cámara (la madre de todas las compactas), simple diseño, resultados excelentes.
