I've always loved night photography and when I got back in to film 5 years ago I wanted to try shooting film at night as much as I could. So far I've shot over 35 different film stocks at night. In this video I share 4 different methods with tips on camera settings, gear, metering, film stocks and reciprocity failure.

Thank you for subscribing and the kind comment! Oh nice I'm a fan of those who shoot large format though I haven't tried myself yet. What do you shoot on with your medium format cameras?

Thank you for actually explaining your methodology, which not all 'shooting at night' videos does in-depth!

For sure! Glad I could help. I try to be as detailed as I can so if someone is interested and new to it they have a good base of knowledge to try.

This is an excellent video and I think I learned a fair bit from it, so I feel a little bad about making a negative comment but hopefully the comment can help make the next one even better. There were two things that really bugged me, the little oversights that were unnecessarily distracting. The D in DSLR stands for digital, that is just an SLR, this was distracting for the error but also just left me thinking I misunderstood. The cursor on the photos and graphics, really drags my eye away from the subject. The glitch at 19 is unfortunate but it was breif and didn't really distract me from the point the way the others did.

Hey thanks for watching the video and I'm glad you learned some things! Yeah I totally hear you on a few of those mistakes. I started talking about getting my first DSLR at the beginning before getting back into film and it's just a bad habit calling the N80 a DSLR so thanks for the call out! I know I caught the cursor after the upload too. I keep catching little things I'm working on as I create these videos so I hope to keep polishing / ironing them out. Anyhow I do appreciate the feedback and hope it didn't distract too much. Cheers!

Hope you enjoyed this video on shooting film at night. Let me know if you have any questions or want to see more videos on tips or showing me shooting film at night on location. (Also, whoops about my editing mess up at 19:00! My zoom in effect didn't render 😬)
