Shooting Lomography 800 on the East Coast

I figured it was time to dive into the world of Lomography. I recently drove around to a few different parts of the East Coast, trying out the coveted (and expensive) film stock. Lomography 800 is a fantastic alternative to something like Kodak Portra 800 or Fuji Venus 800 (if you can find it). Hope you like the video!

This might be the most well-produced film photography video on the internet. You're actually a god. Can I be your son?

[@loganguybaker]

Thank you my son, that means a lot

[@marcot1546]

Man the quality and cinematography in your videos is absolutely stellar, you are by far my favorite channel for film stuff on yt along with our lord and savior willem

[@loganguybaker]

Thank you so much!! That means a lot!

[@eleanorinnis8414]

Magical!!! Is lomography 800 expensive?

[@stevenwang3396]

Sheeeeesh 6 seconds in and you're already killing it! Also what camera are you filing with and did you have help setting it up? I'm usually so paranoid about leaving my mirrorless somewhere to get a shot of me doing something

[@loganguybaker]

thanks man! I'm using the BMPCC4K! Its honestly terrifying every single time haha

[@danilroudenko7232]

@@loganguybaker it's really amazing - both stills and video. could you please share which lens do you use on bmpcc4k? thanks in advance!

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Damn, that photo at 2:51 is just stellar. Well done, my dude.

[@kidhitter3582]

Is lomo 800 35mm Dx coded? The websites I look at have different results

[@ZupaISO]

Hi Logan. That is a well crafted video! I really like the shots and editing of the b-roll. Keep up the good work!

[@49sixteen]

You sold an XPan only to buy another one?! *NASTY COMMENT*

[@heymikkao]

Noo not the Xpan. Why did you sell it?

[@loganguybaker]

It was a mistake! But I literally just uploaded a new video and the Xpan returns!

[@Franklinruiz561]

This is the crispiest film video review I have seen by far on KZbin😳 that BMPCC4K is soooo good!

[@420Pitcher]

Did you just forget to talk about the filmstock?

[@Elizabeth-pv4lq]

Those shots of manayunk made me homesick❤️

[@SISSI_LU]

Love this!!!

[@joshbarsphotogrpahy5044]

well I just bought a Mamiya RB67 yesterday, which is my first ever medium format camera, with a box of portrait 800. So I guess im in for a tough start lol

[@crake345]

Was just looking around for videos on Mamiya RB67 and found this. Amazing production value, please make more.

[@JamesDaviesPhotography]

Loved the video Logan. Really easy to watch and defo going to check out some L800

[@fyzd3r]

There was this one time, I rewinded a film that has only 9 shot on it to put another type of film in my camera. That said, I ended up pulling the film out with an appropriate tool, shot the first 9 exposure at 1000 speed with my cap on the lens and then continuing the roll. It turn out like it never happened.

[@BryanBirks]

Great video. Great photos. Great audio. Great hat. I’m in!

[@loganguybaker]

Thanks so much, Bryan!

[@executor966]

its ok, the photos from the xpan werent that great, no loss, you'll just need to work up on it a little more before chopping off your thumb to buy it once more

[@antartic]

Amazing video! Did you used vintage lenses, digital +ProMist filters, or something special in your BMCC to achieve this fantastic texture?

[@loganguybaker]

That's pretty much exactly what I did haha Pro Mist and a vintage lens.

[@kevinhdirect4582]

@@loganguybaker Logan could you share which Pro Mist you used? Looks great!

Little Logan all grown up with his own yo0t00bez. Congrats on the move from Denton.

[@stevenxie8093]

Your cinematography is amazing too! What camera was the video shot with?

[@Brause_Market]

Did he actually mention that the film is extremely expensive?

[@gregheo]

Great video, son! Did you notice any difference between 35mm and 120 format Lomography 800? I thought I remembered some internet post (possible conspiracy theory) that the 135 and 120 were actually from different source film stocks.

[@loganguybaker]

Hmmmmm it’s hard to say. Since I used the contax I was on auto for the exposure so I was kind of keeping it loose with the metering. The negatives seem to be a bit contrasty but That very well could be a thing! Now I’m going to look into this!

[@birgitbuchart2839]

wait, where did you buy Lomography800 that was more expensive than Portra 800? It's def cheaper via the Lomography online shop (when it's in stock) :)

[@loganguybaker]

I messed up and bought it on Amazon! Had not even thought to buy from their site! Will most likely be using that from now on. Good looking out!

[@brntgudn]

Love your videos! I just went on a binge watch on your channel. Just curious for the RB67 here, what lenses are you using in this video?

[@loganguybaker]

thank you for watching! I was using the 90mm f3.5 KL - such a solid camera and lens!

[@abelstock]

Where is the comment of GrainyDays?

[@Kr4y0nS]

Love your style of video man! Can’t wait to see more content. A video on how to develop your own film would be awesome

[@ThePlainsProductions]

Inject this video in my skull Logan. Also, love the hat, where did you buy it from? I'm in the market for a new hat.

[@loganguybaker]

* Injecting rn And Thank you! The hat is from Gap I believe? It was like 10 bucks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@Fuzztones]

Great stuff man, looking forward to more regular content!

[@robinleevel6591]

just found your channel man, big up on the quality production of your video. you got me subscribed! Cheers from Amsterdam

[@loganguybaker]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Koghly]

I was legit trying to buy some Lomo 800 like two hours ago but it was out of stock so I caved and ordered some Lomo 400 instead hahaha

[@loganguybaker]

Haha of course! Lomo 400 is still great!

[@samuelwilson3461]

This beach area in beginning looks a LOT like Paine's Creek in Brewster MA (Cape Cod)

[@loganguybaker]

Close! It was Orleans! Rock Harbor to be exact.

[@Shagrake1]

Does the dynamic range seem a little narrow to you, looking at the neg? In the example shots when the highlights are hot the shadows seem really dark. Maybe its the YT compression.

[@loganguybaker]

So, I actually was thinking this. I did meter for the highlights for most of the 120 shots and edited them more on the contrasty side. . But I’ve shot in the past (metering for shadows) when the dynamic range really shined. Also this was the first roll I’ve shot with the Contax so I’m getting used to the auto nature of it all.

[@Ry_Gordon]

I had to watch the video like 4 times and then I was like, Oh Shutter stock tutorials!

[@loganguybaker]

Haha yep! Decided to start my own thing.

[@ExhaIe]

god damn this was a great video. goodshit mane

[@itsgarrettsears]

Dude, such a good video. The stills were lunrea. Gave off a big Will Darbyshire vibe. Shots were also killer as always

[@loganguybaker]

Thanks dude!!

[@noahg3488]

This shit looks like a MOVIE.

[@lifeatthehouse3018]

Another gem! Best channel ever.

[@kamaehumarrotte3583]

i know people hate when you ask, but what setup do u use for your video? the color science and lens are top notch

[@loganguybaker]

No worries! I use the BMPCC4K with vintage lenses.

[@iamagoddmangoblin]

this looks amazing, not only the photos but the video. What lenses are you using?

[@loganguybaker]

Thank you! Using some old Canon lenses on the BMPCC4K.

[@human_error1]

Another really great video! Glad to hear there’s more to come soon 😁

[@ignaciotovar6078]

jeez what kind of steroid fueled camera are you using to film all of this

[@loganguybaker]

The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K! It’s a beast

[@Ibibiogal]

Great approach to yet anothor lomo review. Made it feel engaging. Really bummed that they'll no longer be xpan videos as that's how I found your channel, but I'll stick around, especially now that there's gonna be more regular uploads

[@loganguybaker]

Thanks so much! I know, I really blew it.

[@Ibibiogal]

​@@loganguybaker I was tempted to sell mine, simply for the cash, and profit but I just can't do it! Even though it's a converted camera, is so underapprecaited because of the over hype about the panoramic feature. The fact that it's a dual format camera in every is what makes it so amazing! You were the one the helped me see that. Thanks for that. Now's it's my everyday camera. I'll sell everything else before I let it go. if you can get one again do it!

[@darnellreid458]

Good old Philadelphia!

[@megzjr]

Amazing video and photos ✌🏼 how did you meter on your RB? Do you use an app?

[@loganguybaker]

thank you! I used a Sekonic L-308S and when I didn't have that on me I used the Pocket Light Meter app.

[@megzjr]

Logan Baker so the app is accurate enough?

[@tejasrinivas3049]

This is purely cinematic! Brilliant work!

[@loganguybaker]

Thanks so much!

[@alessandra1908]

wow you’re so talented!

[@chadwilder9275]

Yo could you explain how you metered for the sunset photo.

[@loganguybaker]

Sure thing! If I remember correctly, I metered the brightest spot in the image (the sun) then the darkest part (under the grass) and then split the difference. I was a little unsure having never shot directly at the sun like that.

[@chadwilder9275]

Logan Baker thanks

[@thisisdro6288]

love the quality of your videos dude

[@loganguybaker]

Thanks so much man!

[@YourMateCub]

Such a beautiful video!

[@loganguybaker]

Thank you so much!

[@Aar69]

there we go yes thank you

[@Aar69]

Also, since you mentioned you're developing your own film, it would be cool to get some videos featuring different developers. I feel like all the videos that actually talk about different developers are from boring-ass channels that aren't very interesting

[@loganguybaker]

Yes! I’m most likely going to make one in the near future!
