YEEEESSSS

[@claudiuskundanmal5401]

The picture of the guy with the dog was really good

[@DebraDukes]

Agree I have female but little lighter absolutely amazing shot.👍✌

[@randomgrenad346]

You should do a quick review and how to with that light meter.

The younger generation is the reason film will survive ! Thank you

[@pilsplease7561]

Film will survive due to the dedicated photographers breathing new life into it. Film is great, Film has flaws that make it look much more natural than digital, I dont like how when you see pixels on digital they are all uniform and even. In film grain is spread out randomly and uniquely and that makes it more realistic. It isnt perfect. Because Perfect is flawed. nothing is Perfect

[@Sodacake]

You inspired me to start shooting film. Just bought my first rolls of Ilford HP5+ and awaiting delivery of a Canon AE-1.

[@WillemVerb]

Thats awesome! good luck with the first rolls :))

[@pilsplease7561]

I really have a bad relationship with HP5 I cant make it work for my style of shooting.

[@spyratekodaks7494]

Wow !! These photos are like they came out of a fairy tale !! So nice !!!!

[@jordan.7]

Accurate Photo is a gem of NYC. Kindest people over there.

[@lenvadal8558]

Wow, Coney Island ! I'm an amateur photographer, I have been photographing Coney Island, on & off since the 1970's. I have many black & white and color photos of Coney Island, most of my work in the 70's was black & white which I developed and printed myself using the old darkroom enlargers and filming developing equipment. The digital computer technology was not available yet. I just purchased a V600 Scanner and plan to do lots of digital copies of my black & white and color film, and color slides. I'm in my 70's I hope I live long enough to complete this task (Ha). So now you can see how good you have it compared to the 1970's (just kidding). Coney Island has super sunrise's and sunsets that are awesome, and the boardwalk at night is great also. I also had a Mamiya large format camera; it was a Mamiya C330 Twin Lens Reflex, I just sold it. Looking forward to your KZbin videos, I'm learning a lot.

[@ivoek]

Amazing video!!! Bought my Mamiya RZ67 Pro II a couple of months ago, after wafting your video on it. Thanks for all the great videos of 2018, and those to come in 2019.

[@WillemVerb]

Goodluck with it!! Thank you :))

[@WhirlOmar]

I appreciate you so much for being someone who loves taking pictures and visiting Coney Island. My cherished stomping ground from 2006 to 2008. I was there every day taking pictures and blogging. You are bringing me back the need to be there again. I really miss it.

[@Itscarlosocando]

Bro! I remember watching this video for the first time in 2019, I love this format bro, the vibes, the photos, the music... 🔥

[@allisonsimon3620]

[@soccerjockey]

These are fantastic dude. Some of my fav shots of your's that I've seen. The One of the boardwalk with the gull flying overhead was perfect!

[@chrismehmet3463]

That portrait was unreal of the dude with the dog

[@WhirlOmar]

I miss taking pictures in Coney for my old Coney Island blog. Love the vid! I’ve told some of these popular New York KZbinrs to go out to Coney but they haven’t as of yet. Thanks for sharing this.

[@kevinumbel8383]

Cool video. The portrait at the very end is dope! Keep the content coming.

[@Irnbruist]

The dog dude shot and the seagull shot are epic.

[@twuuwttwu]

[@olliejenkins3251]

[@JonFilmPhoto]

I’m excited to the purchase the zine you make out of Coney Island

[@ashleyjohn5838]

I have only just found your channel and videos. Can't believe I didn't find you sooner. Thank you for how honest you are when talking about your style and process. Many people I shoot with or know are very secretive and it's very upsetting. Currently purchasing your zine. Keep up the fantastic work man!

[@galliannelilymacleod8954]

its so amazing to see how much your work has evolved and improved over the years :)

[@WillemVerb]

Its a family

[@jaeAre200]

Just subbed! Congrats on the video, captured the vibe of a photo walk perfectly. I actually just started my own street photography channel myself, so I know how hard it is to get good photos AND video at the same time. So kudos to the camerman (or woman haa) too!!

[@vividvulpe9842]

Nice Steaze,,Will

[@xizhang8851]

young man but so good at old lens,incredible !

[@GattaoraStudios]

[@WillemVerb]

Ayyye good to hear! Love for any kind of photography

[@bbayek5573]

Great video man, awesome shots! As a fellow owner of Mamiya RZ67 I have to say, it really likes good light, and you have found it at Coney Island! best, bayek

[@StephenAttongPhoto]

Can't wait for the zine !!!!

[@romanspataro1688]

so good man! love the guy with the dog and the photo at 7:50. stoked for the zine bro

[@DirtyBertie]

Willem on big movements

[@ludovicg.4263]

Hi Willem ! I watch your videos from France ^ ^ I learned a lot with your channel. It's cooI thank you ! I start with Mamiya RZ67 II :D

[@srjames1]

Very nice work all the way around! The last shot of your video, the guy in the hat with the mustache, was excellent. Suggestion: share a little more about your thought process and how you're working. Not so much f-stops & shutter speeds, but your thoughts about over-exposing and the film stock your using to get a certain look, etc. Teach it, brother, otherwise it's just pretty pictures! Keep up the good work!

[@baslanting7960]

I love the eye you have for photo's ! It's so different to how I photograph! It would be cool to shoot along side you one day! Cheers mate have a good one!

[@WillemVerb]

Thank you! :))

[@JamesJames-ox4ge]

Thanks for the video man, super motivating.

[@nero9978]

Oh sick, another video.

[@jessedemeulenaere5960]

Great video, very inspiring content! Cheers from Belgium!

[@WillemVerb]

Gang gang

[@trvshologrvm]

In love whit this channel! 🌈💙

[@ea9124]

Superb!

[@JM-mi2ew]

Yeah, ok. Subscribed.

[@JoseOchoita]

Great video, Willem. It's the first time I see one of your videos and I really loved it. I only shoot digital, I can't afford to invest in film right now, but this inspires me. The composition of the photos is fantastic.

[@WillemVerb]

Awesomeeee

[@jiro4559]

it's your cousin roman, let's go bowling

[@yan01232]

More videos like that!

[@teddystevens5870]

Nice work great shots.just picked up that camera just need a 120 back

[@michaelj7069]

Man what a location. I could get lost there.

[@neilgenower9950]

good stuff.... keep it up

[@gracewood7179]

I love this

[@JasonFisk]

Got my RB67 Pro S from Japan a few days ago, just waiting on a big 120 film delivery. Can’t wait to get out there and shoot with it in London... Love your work. Your photos are F£$K!ng awesome (do you over expose a little?), I haven’t had the chance to shoot film on a really sunny day yet (I live in London) as I only picked it up in September when I bought my first film camera (Canon EF). If you’re ever in London let me know, would love to get some tip from you.

[@JoshDavid]

[@WesleyVerhoevePhotography]

I need a batch soon! haha

[@WillemVerb]

Wesley V you will receive ;))

[@allisonsimon3620]
