Shooting Film in the Pacific Northwest

[@briandanehansen]

Shoutout to the decontamination specialist.

[@tomdivasion7724]

Absolutely love these long road trip videos. Completely unique on youtube - that "hopper" house photo was epic

[@fl3tching101]

Hi, one of the many random people you met at the Ferries on Film meetup in Seattle - just wanted to say it was a lot of fun meeting you guys and glad you had such a good time in Seattle! I was the one with the weird soviet FED 2 Leica copy.

[@jackstein9986]

Only KZbinr where I'll actually sit through a 75 minute episode

[@nvrumi]

There are only a couple of them on my list, too. This is one.

[@GR8SALAD]

Hell, I'm even here re-watching a 75 minute episode. After finishing re-watching the 168 minute episode

[@KelsomaticPDX]

I live in Portland and it’s kind of trippy to see you going to so many places I see all the time 😅 also, I just painted my nails nearly the same color, making things even weirder. Cape Disappointment is so underrated. Always happy to see a new video from you 👏🏻

[@MattatHiddenLight]

I can't believe you bailed on that spooky AF house. So much photo potential there!

[@acidgrain]

I'm photographing almost my entire life and I hate to admit it but I suck at forrest photos. The high contrast between shadows and sun coming through the branches is always killing me. You make it in both, video and analog photography, look like it's the most easy thing ever. Would really love a video about how you approach difficult lighting. I know you did the metering video but I watched it and I still suck.

[@spitp51]

It is dependant on your chosen film's dynamic range. Slide film is very bad at it, while Cinestill 800T that Jason uses has a very wide DR.

[@unn4medfeel1ng]

Diffusion filters may help if you shoot digital, though I don't know which of them specifically Jason uses

[@acidgrain]

@@unn4medfeel1ng coincidentally I've been looking up different diffusion filters this morning. If I remember it correctly he uses Black Pro Mist but don't quote me on that.

[@anna.s.snapshots]

Hm I guess this explains the Ferries on Film spike in followers about a month ago... Thanks for joining us and for your glowing review of the meetup. We enjoyed sharing a glimpse of the Seattle film community with your group!

[@MarieAMcG]

I've literally been binge-watching every single video of yours for a week or so, and after this I do not what to do with my life!!! I love you Jason... oh I meant Monica & Baxter:))

[@resarfw]

Wonderful documentary, Jason. Very happy you are happy with the results. The ferry interiors are rich in detail and mood, and you truly nailed the “Hopper” building exterior shot. Looking forward to the next road trip. Cheers.

[@coreymarshall4945]

‘Mama Mia, papa pia, diarrhea 7’ had me dying. Had no right to be that funny

[@evkennedy]

Dude! As a Seattle based photographer, it was super cool to see the subjects you chose to shoot in Pike, on the ferry, etc. Also had no idea Ferries on Film existed, thanks for the req, will definitely check out! Also, in my experience down at the Cape, the real Disappointment are the friends we made along the way… Loved the vid!

I've been watching your videos every so often and have been binging your channel recently; really happy about a longer upload^^ thank you.

[@kaimai79]

Wow! Such high quality - filming, editing, sound and jokes. Love all about it!

[@otterb]

such a joy to watch, who knew roadtrip and photography would make such good content! Love how you put it together.

[@vilvero]

So many interesting places. US just looks so artistically pleasing, like nothing looks out of place.

[@pacheaco727]

Waiting at the airport for way too long to head home from vacation. Jason, sometimes your long videos are a lifesaver.

[@austinlzimmerman]

Always love to watch these long form vids and get a feel for your flow, style, and composition. Absolutely loved this one! background vibes were immaculate and shots were 10/10. Nice one!

[@Jordan-ki7cz]

Awesome trip! i love my lovely state of Washington, its so beautiful here. Cape Disappointment is so beautiful, I love our coast line and the sound. Ruby beach is so wonderful, i hope to head there this winter to get some pictures. I hope yall got some mac and jacks beer while you were here, its not the best beer but its great local after a long day of hiking around. You should head up here during our different seasons, the length of daylight changes drastically and how the sun lands changes so much. Getting up into the mountains on a rainy day or a snowy day, fog filled valleys, trees as far as the eyes can see, snow covered mountain tops. its crazy beautiful here. So many different environments, weather patterns, variations of the light. I am kind of surprised yall passed over going to the Olympic National Forest and all of its crazy cool places. There are some fire watch towers you can climb, there are some amazing outlooks and old structures everywhere.

[@jasontroll]

Goddayumm. Another 1hour banger. Props to Jason shooting and editing a movie. Jokes crack me up

[@issiahtaylor3143]

These are QUICKLY becoming my favorite style of youtube video! Amazing stuff

[@Seapatico]

I respect how much you NEVER talk about the great you film with. It would be so easy to, I'm sure, but I honestly appreciate that it's only ever about the film cameras, lenses, and film stocks.

[@TomHardie4]

Gotta say your videos are really calming while also being informative and lighthearted. Keep it up

[@brennanadkins]

I walked from 9pm to 7pm the next day to get to that abandoned nuclear park during a training event once. Looked awesome seeing the lights of it off in the distance getting closer for a full day!

[@emailsare4losers]

😮

[@colinfrazier1058]

I really like the 'roll recap' style of showing your shots in this video, maybe Im dumb and its not a new thing but it think it works better in this long form video. Some fantastic shots, keep it up!

[@M_Sonata]

Love the ambient and sentimental tracks you use. thanks for uploading

[@clawdawg7248]

That was a great watch, and super worthy of an hour + of my time. And, I agree, some really awesome shots!

[@Equiful]

These long videos are my favourite. I also recently just got the canon wp-1 so it’s cool to see you using it

[@conthemar]

Graaaah another hour+ video to escape the existential dread of being in my mid 20s

[@astroguy5364]

so real

[@stefbecci1274]

You should 50 you whining knob

[@canturgan]

Stupid thing to say, you're lucky to be alive.

[@frusenko]

@@canturgan Stupid thing to say, people are allowed to feel the emotions they feel.

[@jeffknol1556]

Another amazing video - thanks Jason. If you're looking for a video topic how about doing something where you explain your thinking/process around the concepts of "keepers" verses "portfolio" shots. What's your portfolio? what has influenced your thinking around what is and isn't worthy of a place.

[@HowdyImBrian]

Love going to Blue Moon so much such a cool store!!!!

[@andre_motions]

Jason decided to take his lack-of-Taco-Bell-induced anger out on us and treat us with the highest ad frequency seen on earth

[@jergophoto]

Just buy youtube premium if you’re gonna complain about ads. There’s a solution. Creators still get paid and you dont have to watch 4 million ads anymore.

[@robine5280]

Got Premium, don't see them 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@OneHourPhotos]

I don’t have premium, I don’t think I had one?

[@OneHourPhotos]

Crap. I broke it; the moment I sent this I had one. At 54 minutes in.

[@andre_motions]

@@jergophotowho’s complaining? I love me some good old ads

[@SlimShady-nv4mq]

Great video, Jacob! I fricking loved the photos!

[@smlelikeyoumeanit3882]

Jason boycotting Sonics out of pettiness is a total vibe, and I'm here for it

[@kennethservida6144]

Today’s episode on Grainydays: Jason goes on a roadtrip in the Pacific Northwest to let go from Aerochorme Syndrome but ended up suffering even more.

[@sardispark]

Living in Victoria I was smiling that entire portion of the video. It was so cool seeing another perspective on the streets and locations I've been to so many times. Next time extend your road trip up our coast here too!

[@bryanswisshelm941]

Blue Moon is my favorite place for film and supplies. Great video and pics

[@markmutti]

This was a very nice video to fall asleep to Well, I’m not joking. I did fall asleep to it but then went back and watched what I missed. I recently started with film and have always found a lot of inspiration in your videos. Thanks!

[@k1rnupiima]

I liked your photos more than usual too. Looks like a fun heist!

[@nickboxwell]

I live here in Portland and it was really fun seeing all the places that I take for granted through the eyes of a visitor. I hope you had a good time!

[@chilecayenne]

Enchirito's RULE!!!

[@somephotovideos]

Loved to see that Midwest Film Co. got in on the action. I've got some Vision3 50D & 250D from them that I'm excited to shoot with - especially after seeing your Cinestill 800T shots. The interior of that boat in Seattle was 🙌

[@D3lor34n]

I love these roadtrips of yours, always a blast to watch.

[@dolcevespa1]

Love the longer vids and the road trips. Love you using the reto. Those shots were bangers

[@monduli]

Brilliant! What a great story teller you are 🙌

[@SoumavaChatterjee]

I say this with complete humility and some vulnerability… - I’ve wanted to take my life and last year was a struggle. Still going through it but it’s so much better … Photography has kept me grounded. And your deadpan deliveries and quick wit makes me laugh and smile without fail. I wanted to thank you, and I wish you nothing but the best sir. - I just got my hands on a Canonet QL17 GIII and a Minolta 7s (all for under $250) and I could not be more fucking excited

[@weizhang6979]

Welcome to PNW! Almost no rain from June to the end of August generally around here (Seattle).

[@joepphoto]

This video came right in time now that I need to do selections on a huge set. Perfect sidescreen activity yeaaaahhyy

[@make_it_nashty7206]

If the Nacho Fries Box is not available, the go-to is both a loaded potato griller AND a beefy nacho griller. Maybe a quesarito if I'm exceptionally hungry. Also as someone who's getting back into photography, I find your content incredibly inspiring and effortless to watch. I've even decided to declare bankruptcy and have my grandparents Olympus OM-2 restored and to start shooting because fuck it. Why not.

[@shotbydevan]

i absolutely love the way you document these road trips. if you're ever in Vancouver, Canada I would be honoured to show you around, have a chuckle with you, and attempt to make good photographs.

[@monkeypawism]

Great watch, pacing, story telling. Enjoyable.

[@Minolta_Gal]

Looked like a fun trip. Beautiful photos.

[@JonnySchaab]

When I moved to portland in 2010 to go to pnca for photography, the first place I lived was in the appartment building on the right at 4:18. Shot soooo much film and crappy early dslr on those streets and in that forest. stupid nostalgia, making me sad n stuff. luckily i have this flaming hot mountain dew to ease my suffering.

[@PhilippHofmann28]

jason , this is a wonderful video and it was pure entertainment for me. thank you and the crew for that. the pictures were beautiful.

[@Rook51]

As a resident of the Oregon Coast, I'm glad you came out but next time, try going south when you hit the 101. You'll find some good spots from Lincoln City to Waldport.

[@alexpoling4755]

I’m so glad I wasn’t the only person thinking this.

[@sirohartmann]

You are absolutely on top of your photography and video game, son.

[@kevin-jd5rj]

I hope you had an awesome time in Vic 💙 your photos are always beautiful, regardless what you say.

[@christophergreen3384]

Come on down to Austin, TX the fall weather and colors are great! Would love to show you some photogeanic spots here.

[@gurnoorbhoey9096]

watched this whole thing and I think it healed something in me

[@Cliffthomasphotography]

Congratulations 🥂… and well deserved.. I look forward to following what I am sure is going to be continued success ..

[@Henryplant]

Expired porta vc is my absolute favorite film stock. Nobody ever talks about it, but gaddamn it is so incredible!

[@DanielLoveReel]

Man it doesn't rain much up here anymore. Even a mild WR is good for trips up here most of the time.

[@mikestanavech7858]

What a trip to see you in my neighborhood. I live a block from blue moon and shop there a few times a week.

[@andrewqie9138]

End up watching the whole video three times. So good.

[@OrangeBrick8]

1:11:37 no way I have those same wood chairs

[@kristoffergo6294]

Watch the whole thing, that was awesome!

[@TheManlyConnoisseur]

You know Jason is an influencer when after he drops a one hour video it influences me to go out and shoot

[@SprokkereefNederlands]

Some real good photos! And a cool video as well.

[@mikebot1983]

Was just visiting Portland last weekend. Cool folks at Pro Photo Supply; sold me some of that ORWO NC-500

[@ChrisEdgecombePhoto]

Amazing photos, thanks for the trip.

[@doomstache]

Wow I made it in the video! Was cool meeting you guys

[@patrickbasin9389]

18:15 - for those not from the rainy corner, that is a “slash pile.” Basically just logging waste.

[@David_analogue10]

Really really enjoyed that video. Thank you for making it.

[@mintyfreshpavement]

Aghhhh, it's always a pleasant surprise to see a new grainyday video up

[@Pilot_air_on]

I grew up in the PNW and these shots are triggering some amazing nostalgia. Great work

[@durango-CODEBUILDER]

Would love to see more of the IMAX film!

[@JQPhotos]

Well, that's my weekend sorted! Big Love Jason and family!

[@jw48335]

I must have put 30 or 40 rolls through my WP-1, It's a fantastic option for bad weather. These Days though I'm much more likely to grab my Konica Genba Kantoku DD, since that one is better designed for cold weather, and it has a 40 and 60 mm focal length.

[@theunrecoveringphotography9194]

Another awesome video. I don’t know if it’s your videos, or the latest release from Bullet From My Valentine, but I now have a strong urge to paint my fingernails. Seriously though, this is quickly becoming my favorite film photography KZbin channel.

[@sirderps8056]

I'd love to see you experiment with the Reto more, that photo really does look like a Hopper painting.

[@PulpDogg]

This looked like an awesome trip and fantastic photos. When is the next trip?

[@doptimist]

The Blarney Shtone is 20 mins from my family home in Cork, Ireland :P I reckon both sets of ferry shots are the best i've ever seen from you.

[@beepboopsloane]

Blue moon is such an amazing store. I go everytime I go back home

[@mgman6000]

The first lighthouse you visited was North Head lighthouse and the other one was Cape Disappointment a little way down the road is Waikiki beach where the epic wave photos are taken during the King tides in the winter

[@sbutler66]

PNW light is something else, great shots and video as always!

[@adrianemikko]

Those fauxrochrome shots looks so good especially near bodies of water

[@mariogonzalez8900]

Blue moon is my favorite shop for film and getting it scanned !! Dang it, should of gone when you went 😂

[@KreativeCommons]

The Grainy Days god's have once again blessed us with an hour+ video

[@XYZ-bi9eb]

what a cool road trip. well done.

[@bryancohen5121]

Banger video! Soundtrack is great!

[@roland_6496]

Fantastic. And I love that KZbin auto-cc’ed Birgit to Beer-get.

[@mrecra8084]

The photo one the ship in the bleu stairs was my favorite of the whole video you should consider it in the portfolio

[@Broesky]

One thing I've noticed is that filters really attract the sun and cause flares and reflections. It also eliminates the purpose of lens hoods as it draws the element more out into the light.

[@storiesbyfredy]

This is my Roman Empire. This is cinema.

[@sommelierofstench]

that air bnb looked sweet. missed opportunity to get hopper-esque shots of spirits

[@michaelbell6443]

Jason you’re a national treasure. Love your commentary. You’re the Steven Wright of the photo world. LoL.

[@liamhadtogo1993]

Nice to see Victoria through your perspective. The dragon mural you shot in Chinatown was redone in a completely different style shortly after. I hope you were able to check out camera traders while you were in Market Square!

[@Noizedas]

it only rains here in portland from the end of october till around may or june next year

[@FifaInspected]

Loved every minute of this.
