[@teocrawford]

Hello there, I hope you enjoyed todays episode! As always leave any thoughts in the comments, I look forward to reading through all! Have a good week, Teo

[@TheLizardman77]

At 3:30 it’s not a double exposure. It’s a scanning mistake probably a result of the double exposure after. If you look at the negatives you’ll see it.

[@ishbelDunsmore]

i hope he rescans it, it looked like it'd turn out really nice!

[@serr]

They look like paintings! Beautiful work.

[@ManLikeMorrison]

the double exposure is quite cool. That's kind of the beauty of film!

[@hampusruneson2023]

Eyy man! Awesome! My dad got a very similar long lens when he used to shot film. I've got an adapter so that I can use it on my GX80 that I bought after your rekommendations! I love the camera! Keep up the good work!

[@teocrawford]

Ohh sweet, a lens like that on the GX80 must be sooo long🤯 Thank you!🙇🏻‍♂️

[@hellothisiskyle]

It’s not the length of the lens that you need to worry about it’s the coverage of the lens. A long lens designed for a 35mm camera will not cover 6x8 no matter what kind of adaptor you use, it would just show up as a circle in the middle of your frame with a bunch of black negative space around it.

[@hanskallafrasonen]

The 1/focal length rule for shutter speeds only apply when hand held. On a tripod you can use how over long a shutter speed you need. Using a cable release or self timer is advisable for longer speeds.

[@mossthanakorn6820]

Your videos are amazing, I’m inspired by you to pursue photography and film as a hobby in the coming year. There’s something about your videos, photos, and narration that is just so calming. Thank you for your work!

[@hellothisiskyle]

I really love your video editing. Everything flows together super well and the close up shots of loading the film are really great. As far as the photos go, Gold 200 really likes a lot of light. Shooting around dawn/dusk is going to be hard to get those warm vibrant colors you’re after with this stock. This film really shines in direct sunlight. The other issue you’re having is putting the light source in the frame which is going to give you glare that lowers the contrast and also saturation hence those nice bright oranges you see aren’t coming through. I know this was just a test to see how gold looks in this condition but I think next time you shoot in this kind of light/scenery ektar would really pop and give you that feel you’re after.

[@teocrawford]

Sweet, thank you - glad to know you enjoyed it!🤗 Ahh ok, thanks for all the tips! I only started to shoot film two months ago, so I haven't been able to try many film stocks yet...my overall experience is still limited🤷🏻‍♂️🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@HunterW.Photography]

The tonal problems are probably a mixture of using a cheaper film stock and possibly poor lab scans. I have no idea how experienced you are with film so please forgive me if you already know this, but Portra 400 is a great film stock that I think you would get better results out of. Ektar 100 is also known for landscapes, along with Provia 100 and Velvia 100.

[@HunterW.Photography]

Also you might wanna ask your lab to tone down the digital sharpening it’s pretty immense

[@courtalton]

Your editing gets better and better every video! Here are my favorite photos: 2:15, 2:55, 5:15, and 6:50! I love how all of the photos turned out and I loved watching the sunset progress throughout the video!

[@teocrawford]

Ohh sweet you think so? Thank you!🙇🏻‍♂️ Mhmm yeah good choice🙌🏼 I'm in love with the 02:55🤤

[@itsr1p]

My goodness, I am glad to have found your channel. A lot of your shots are beautiful and I can definitely see your channel grow. Keep on grinding my man! Also, I actually love how the scan at 3:20 turned out. Love how the border splits the contrast between the colours in both exposures makes me feel a certain way.

[@teocrawford]

Sweet, thank you!🥺 Ohh really? Interesting, good know🙌🏼

[@ehvisuals]

fire dude! found ur channel while looking for a review on the samyang 14mm since im getting a sony a7iii so i can balance out digital and film since i shoot already pretty heavy on the mamiya rz67 - psyched to see u shoot film as well, gained a new sub! keep it up

[@RobMoses]

Lots of nice pictures Teo. Those mountains are awesome. Good vid.

[@teocrawford]

Thank you Rob!🤗

[@alexjcorona2605]

The shot at 3:29 which is a "mistake" is actually really cool to me. The way there is a dramatic separation of the blues and the reds, and the way in which the two compositions line up together with the tree coming out of the frame division and putting the electrical pylon in the bottom third. Gives me some ideas I want to play around with!

[@callumlewis2112]

Awesome video! I recently started the same transition from digital to film so it's nice to see someone else in the same boat!

[@teocrawford]

Yeeeah🙌🏼

[@melissedyson8786]

Awesome video! A couple of amazing photos, surprised by how well the photos turned out with the zoom lens! Looking forward to more videos👏

[@teocrawford]

Sweet, thank you! Happy to read you enjoyed it!🤗🙇🏻‍♂️

[@KoW4LsKy]

You have go pro and film camera at once. I love this.

[@binaa.899]

Hi teo! I love how you analyzed each photos you took and I’m actually a big fan of the “split scanned” photo! Very 😎 Also I recently found an old film cam my dad used to use in my garage and I want to try and give it a try! What was the app you used for and what is it called? :0 I’d love to learn more but I really just don’t know where to start 😅

[@savethephotons2532]

Really like your style. Film and narrative. Keep the great work up. Subbed!

[@teocrawford]

Uhh cool, thank you!🙇🏻‍♂️🙌🏼

[@jancestr1054]

kodak gold is very warm film and some labs do tone it in scaning to be more cool so thats maybe why some of the photos look less orange then you remember them

[@teocrawford]

Hmm ok, thanks for the tip🤔🙌🏼

[@MacnTeensVisuals]

Great watch once again Teo 👌 Love the area where you take your photos.

[@teocrawford]

Sweet, thank you!

[@JammiYork]

These came out so beautiful.

[@teocrawford]

Ohh sweet, thank you🙌🏼

[@timrangi506]

Hey mate, just wondering if these were shot at box speed? Or self developed, I ask because they seem quite grain-y, even for gold

[@teocrawford]

Yes, this was shot at box speed and development by a lab, however I think the lab isn't really good, considering it's just the lab of a drug store. The strong grain might be caused by the resizing of the photos, because the store only gives me rather low-res digital scans, which I have to upscale to the size of the video🤷🏻‍♂️

[@NotWILSON]

yay, another film photographer on my fyp ;)

[@teocrawford]

Sweet!😍 However I hesitate to call myself a film photographer yet - I only started out two months ago👀🤷🏻‍♂️

[@NotWILSON]

@@teocrawford well its about consistency, I know nothing about that as I post unregularly, but for two months you got yourself in a pretty good position, like the work :)

[@hardene8888]

Hello hello! Truly enjoyed it. I love your 1st photo with the long lens. I think for me the colour works well, cool lens by the way. Now I feel that I need a film camera too.

[@teocrawford]

Heeello, sweet, glad to read that from you!😍 Yeah try it out!🙌🏼

[@ChrisMustermann]

Analog 👌👌👌 Weiß nicht, warum genau, aber die Bilder sind deutlich besser als digitale 🤔 Grain? Farbgebung? Vielleicht auch die lange Brennweite... keine Ahnung! 😃Ich finde die Brauntöne mega. Weißt du zufällig, welcher Brennweite auf Vollformat das entspricht?

[@teocrawford]

Ohh ok, hmm wer weiß - das braun kommt glaub ich vom Kodak Gold Look, der ja eher warm-tönigere Bilder produziert👌🏼 Ich bin mir nicht 100% sicher, aber ich glaube 35mm film, entspricht der Größe eines digitalen vollformat Sensors, somit wäre die Brennweite die selbe🤔🙌🏼

[@ChrisMustermann]

@@teocrawford Ja also ich meinte jetzt nicht unbedingt besseres Composing, sondern das Flair ... harmoniert sehr gut mit deinem Stil! Schwer zu erklären. Macht echt Spaß!

[@teocrawford]

@@ChrisMustermann Verstehe ich komplett! Ich finde es auch irgendwie unerklärlich, aber glaube, dass für mich die Farben oft eine Rolle spielen🙌🏼

[@NiiminTV]

Hey guess I’m new to photography and I’m wondering how to use gold 200. How do I set the shutter speed and exposure and all that is there any general kinda settings or do I have to change settings each time I take a photo?

[@tiii8363]

Hello, what is the app that you open up on your phone before clicking a few of the pics in this video?

[@whitt896]

Man, I love your vids

[@teocrawford]

Aww thank you!🙇🏻‍♂️

[@FILMFRAT]

Wow really love your content this is amazing. What is your preferred camera you use for videomaking , I'd love to have a conversation and maybe even collaborate on different methods in telling stories through film!

[@NunoAlmeidaPhotography]

Nice images! Loving the overall mood.

[@teocrawford]

Ohh sweet, thank you!🤗

[@ZoaLove]

Did you overexpose or did you use the box speed?

[@ehvisuals]

also, the lab made a lot of scanning errors, you definitely could correct a lot of it if you were to rescan yourself or work with your lab on a rescan! check out dslr scanning and negative lab pro, definitely could help w some of the color difficulties you've cited. :) great images thus far tho

[@teocrawford]

Yesss, in fact I just ordered a lighttable, Macro adapters and a film holders today to get into dslr scanning🙌🏼🙌🏼 Definitely going to rescan a lot of photos myself to see the difference - I was reeeally dissatisfied with the lab at times😔 Thank you! :)

[@ehvisuals]

@@teocrawford yay!! excited to see what u think of it!! if u need any assistance or have any questions feel free to shoot me a dm on ig!! @ehvisuals :)

[@teocrawford]

Ok, thank you!🙇🏻‍♂️

[@xhynetuseinovski]

What a landscape! Where was this located? I just finished a roll of kodak gold 200 in my last vid and honestly it will be my go to film for a while. Great video.

[@teocrawford]

Thank you!🙇🏻‍♂️ This is in Austria🙌🏼 Ohh sweet - I've still got way to many film stocks I want to try before I settle :D

[@animatedjess]

The photos look beautiful! Love how you called the vibe in the beginning as romantic! I think I'll try to go for that as well in my photography. Do you think you'll be continuing experimenting with film?

[@teocrawford]

Ohh sweet, glad you liked these🤗 Yes 100% - there are still so many film stocks I want to try out😍

[@animatedjess]

@@teocrawford Yay! Glad to hear. Just got a couple of nee lenses for my film camera so I'm really getting into it 😅

[@cookedbymike]

dope video man

[@teocrawford]

Thank you!🙇🏻‍♂️

[@averagejoe5103]

The beauty of digital, is that you can edit photos to convey the mood, at the time of the shot.

[@evyataravidan]

You always have to edit your film scans as well. If you scan at a lab sometimes they color-correct for you, but if you scan at home you have to convert the negative and then correct the colors.

[@zaboorchaudhry327]

Hey man, quick question. I currently have a 12-32mm kit lens which I am thinking of swapping out for the 14-140mm, would you say the latter works well for wide-angle shots, and would it perform well indoors with indoor lighting? I'm trying to find a lens that I can use outdoors for landscape and city photography but also for indoor shooting such as restaurant and cafe promos which requires wide close up shots with minimal lighting (though I got access to a small lighting kit to compensate).

[@jonathanwamble9340]

Hello! I actually both those focal lengths for the Panasonic GH5. I love the 14-140 because its great for hikes with its variety. The 12-35 is actually crucial sometimes though it I want to talk to the camera (wider angle) or need the f2.8 as opposed to the slower 14-140. Hope that helps ya

[@zaboorchaudhry327]

@@jonathanwamble9340 Thanks a lot for the help man, defo getting a 14-140mm and keeping the 12-32mm instead of selling it now!

[@desotaku5202]

3:28 you didn't mess something up there. They scanned the film in between two images. You wouldn't get two separate images by loading incorrectly anyway. If you still have the negatives you can still get both images separately. I hope you are having fun with film, i recently started medium format as a hobby while in quarantine.

[@teocrawford]

Ahh ok, I was suspecting that. Luckily I've got the negatives and I'm currently getting into a self-scanning workflow, so hopefully I'll be able to rescan those. Uhh sounds good🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@desotaku5202]

@@teocrawford yeah, with the raw files from your a73 you will be able to get way more out of your images, especially regarding the tonal issues you got (besides using a cheap drugstore film😅) And instead of getting frustrated over inverting colorfilm, i can recommend negative lab pro.

[@saeed_kia]

Some photos have got only for and background and lack midground and that is because you shot on telephoto lens. Am I right?

[@teocrawford]

Hmm not really - it's because the way I composed the photo that it lacks a midground. You can still have all three layers with a telephoto lens🤔

[@saeed_kia]

@@teocrawford oh yes you are right

[@cacomixtleTR]

Niceeee

[@teocrawford]

Thaaanks!🙇🏻‍♂️

[@theo_korner]

I think the colours turning out as they did are because you underexposed a bit

[@teocrawford]

Ahh yes possibly - I indeed underexposed a few shots mistakenly, because I confused the aperture ring on the lens and unintentionally underexposed by one stop😅🤷🏻‍♂️

[@theo_korner]

@@teocrawford for ideal exposure a 2 stop gradient filter would probably be perfect for such a situation, so you can balance the colours in the sky to the lesser lit ground an foliage

Maaaan maybe I can edit these for you? Hit me up on Instagram at @nightbyknight

[@stephenvanwijk9669]

... so, you have to scan the stuff ... Just saying. And it became hilarious when you start to notice that the colors came out differently than you saw them ... yeah, we used to have this problem all the time, back in the days. Nowadays, I come much closer, and fast too. I have direct feedback in a digital contact sheet, in the back of my camera ..., how cool is that? But no, millennials escape to pre internet romanticism, in the form of ancient technology. Well, you can not hide for this digital all surveillance dragon, face it, grow a spine, and face the digital mofo in the eyes.

[@teocrawford]

I actually shoot mainly digital, but find it fun to reach back to this old stuff for pure enjoyment of the process. I hope I didn't sound too complaining in the video, because it's these kind of hardships that I'm having some fun with when shooting film...
