Shooting Ektachrome E100 at Night

[@plowthor]

Just my humble opinion, but you are one of the few "film youtubers" that actually takes amazing photos in addition to the video content.

[@rodchitate]

If it wasn't for the ahitty attitude 😂. He's incredible though

[@ziggy149]

So completely true and @rodneychitate - if you’re not picking up on his comedic brilliance, you must be from the Bay Area. It’s not a shitty attitude - it’s his schtick

[@a.m.creativ]

@@ziggy149 Injecting stupid lame jokes at the end of every sentence gets old real quick. I really want to dig this guy's KZbin content, but his "schtick" as you call it, is sophomoric at best. Otherwise, his photography is good and so is some of the 8mm footage he's posted recently.

[@ziggy149]

@@a.m.creativ Not everyone is going to understand or appreciate his comedy. It’s definitely not mainstream and I think that’s the point, but also he’s trying to come off not so serious about something he’s very serious about.

[@a.m.creativ]

@@ziggy149 I don't disagree with you one bit. Maybe tone it down just a bit? Because, for real, I dig this guy's work, especially his last video "Glacier" but I often find rolling my eyes at the humour.

After shooting for a while with this filter you actually gain this ability with your eyesight

It can't think of anything more enjoyable than inspecting every detail on the developed medium format Ektachrome.

[@pushingfilm]

Great shots man! I've always liked the results I've gotten with Ektachrome at night, even more than day shots sometimes. That Pepsi vending machine photo was my favourite 👌🏼

[@theundefinedphotographer]

Jason holding onto the shutter release at 4:29 and 7:34 like he's trying to inject life into the film. Do we all need to look like evil scientists in order to get such clinical shots

Oh and I would love too see a “what’s in my camera bag” video I’m sure I’m not the only one.

The answer is “Baxter”

This was the first video of yours I watched. Much nostalgia

[@GimmeSomeAdventure]

just watching it for the first time, only been watching grainydays the past 2 years., crazy to see that california covid life, wasn't that long ago but feels like a lifetime ago.

[@404_pagenotfound7]

Also, a black light is just a fancier name for longer wavelength UVA light, around 400nm. Looking at kodak e100’s data sheet, magenta forming layer is not sensitive to anything below about 475nm. That means only yellow forming layer is being exposed when you shoot a black light. We all know that in developing yellow creates its opposite color, which is blue, and thats why it looks blue. Unlike film, digital cameras use Bayer filter on top of pixels, that means every 4 pixels, usually RGGB, have around the same sensitivity to light. violet is about R:G:B=1:0:2, for film red is created by Cyan forming layer, which is completely not exposed, but for digital cameras red subpixel can be exposed, and that renders black lights the color they should look like.

[@karsten19]

This is fantastic. The "this is not a good idea shot" turned out wonderful! I love shooting chrome in long exposure. If you want to keep doing it, I have to say that Fuji Velvia 50 is pretty damn impressive. It has a bit more reciprocity failure "protection" so to speak, and can handle long exposures with ease.

[@Sc3ptor]

These photos are so clean 😭

[@TwelveFrames]

I have noticed that Ektachrome always favors the blue end of the color spectrum, so I'm going to try correcting in-camera with a yellow no. 2 or orange filter (probably futile at night though considering everything goes blue anyway).

[@stefflus08]

I'm really impressed with the range in the relatively shadowy reflected light!

[@jeremyduke5971]

Probably the most sanitary film loading I have ever seen in my life.

I love that shot of the pepsi machine and wow ya'll still got a Kmart!?!

hey the Blue Room! they have some pretty cool bands that played there when the world was normal. Since your near Burbank...have you ever thought of shooting the Pink Motel? Got some cool neon lights and they use it for movies sometimes. Its on San Fernando

gonna have to look into it!

[@cs512tr]

such warm photos, reinspired me to get back into 35mm

[@wazuuuuup5974]

Name of the tripod please ?

[@m00dawg]

I actually tried the new CS6 Dynamic dev and got some incredible results in Provia. But I also wildly missed exposure (I think) on a number of shots when I was shooting Provia and E100. So I can't say yet how Dynamic holds up for E100, though I suspect fairly well. Interestingly, a lot of the slides that didn't come out were at night for me. Ektar and T-Max 100 were slam dunks but E100 and Provia were not. So either I didn't develop correctly and/or I missed exposure. I've been having a lot of issues getting consistent results from slide in general, and I think it's because I'm not paying attention to where the lightlights should fall such that for lower contrast scenes, my results are dense. I think it's because I need to make sure my highlights reach up to say +3 (or maybe +4 with E100?) when I meter. Anyways curious how to handled that since the images look fantastic!

[@metalfingersfilm]

great video as always jason

I'm loving these shots! Good work fellow scholars

You should do a video comparing shots with and without a Tiffanie BPM filter. I’d love to see that. I wanna buy one but I’m poor :)

[@typeofsource8918]

yo how much for private lessons

[@Raevenswood]

if you like the reciprocity characteristics of e100 you should try Provia 100F you don't need to compensate for several minutes. from the spec sheet... no compensation needed between shutter speed range of 1/4000 to 128 seconds.

[@sbutler66]

Beautiful shots!! In lieu of a sweet mamiya7 and actual film I'm gonna try to dial in an Ektachrome recipe on my Fuji... Sacrilege I know, but it's what I got.
