Summer evening film photography with a cheap Point&Shoot

[@lrs3]

There's something just so cool about old film cameras

[@teocrawford]

Right!? I love shooting with that camera... the silver look of it, the buzzing sounds... love it :D

[@FolkeStorm]

I've never seen a mountain in my life, imagine how otherworldly these videos look to me. One day though.

[@ReimannPembroke]

This video was so fun to watch! I think my favorite image is the one at 6:02. The landscape is so beautiful and the trees in the foreground are so perfectly placed to create a visual flow. I also really enjoy the one of the bush at 4:14! The flash creates a wild energy and shows off the greens and reds while the background has a very soft look and the contrast between the two types of lighting is so cool to look at! This seems like the type of playful experimentation that could lead to some really great work!

[@teocrawford]

Aww great, glad to know you had fun watching Reimann! :) Ohh yes, love that one too. Ahh I see, good to know that you also fancy that mixed lighting aspect of it :D Let's see where it goes hehe, thank you! :D

[@soarrotmg1364]

That picnic picture could totally be an album/song cover! I love your break downs of your photos trying to figure out why exactly you like them. Good work!

[@teocrawford]

Ohh yeah, love that! Thank you, happy to read that you enjoy listening to the thought process :)

[@ChrisHunt4497]

I love the shot at 10:51 of Milly. It’s really great. 💕💕💕💕💕

[@YotamGuttman]

3:28 truly brilliant shot! if Ansel Adams were to shoot in colour. this contract is what makes it work so well 👌

[@CristianNicolae]

Nice video, Teo! The photo at 6:02 is indeed very good & it's my favourite. The way the trees are kinda faded out and the mountains having different shades. It reminds me of a photo shoot I did a couple of years ago in the mountains so it kinda also have an emotional feelings to me by just looking at it - that's what film does. And the camera is pretty cool.

[@olivierparlephoto]

Your first photo vertical with the trees, I think this is quite a nice composition. I see a gradient of greens from dark to light, the trees giving the direction : up !

[@ZestyMountain]

The intro to this video is gorgeous! Something nostalgic about shots of landscapes whizzing by through car windows. Reflections on the car window and things like the mirror and doorframe interrupting the shot. Its almost like your a kid, sitting in the back seat of your parents car and you are leaning forward to peek out the window. Really pretty :D

[@ishayshoo]

Beautiful photos! Love it! Also really like the video and the fact that you talk about and include also the photos that you liked less

[@marcojones6736]

such beautiful landscapes man!

[@mooodygraphy]

What a beautiful view.

[@kykysknight3225]

The portraits were good! Nice video as always!

[@teocrawford]

Aww thanks! :))

[@Gediko17]

Love your videos Teo! Greetings from The Netherlands

[@thissidetowardscreen4553]

Wonderful and fun video Teo! Great to see old point and shoot cameras in use. Brings back the fun of just composition rather than the perfect settings! IMO, I think having an odd number of objects in a photo can really help the composition, The houses on the hill side if there was a third building would have helped, but that is not always possible. Definitely agree how object in the foreground can be just as important as the subject. Looks like you had a great time together and that is the best results of a day out with a camera!

[@teocrawford]

Ohh true, I think you're on to something with the three object idea! I can well imagine that a third subject could have added a bit more of a dynamic feel to the composition, thanks for pointing that out :) Glad you enjoyed the video, thank you! :D

[@insightsamuel]

Lol, I actually really like that last underexposed shot. Looks like an abstract painting. Great video, Teo.

[@teocrawford]

Haha great, love that! I think I might end up liking it over time, however at the moment I am of course seeing this in comparison to what I had envisioned and the difference is... well... too much haha :D Thank you!

[@korinaviado3333]

I am loving this old digital point and shoot trend 😉

[@teocrawford]

Ohh I have yet to try that though... this one was on film :D

[@celienasn8426]

Some wonderful shots in this video ! 😊

[@teocrawford]

Aww thanks! :)

[@joanditacentika]

Inspiring video! How come the flash of the point and shoot is so good? The subject is well lit and the background's detail is captured well!! My olympus mju ii's flash creates such dark background, over exposing the subject.

[@paulushdk]

was ein tolles Video. Von Vorne bis zum Ende ein Meisterwerk!! ich glaube, ich werde mir die Kamera holen um tolle Momente aufnehmen zu können, ohne sich sorgen zu machen, wie das Bild nun geworden ist. Und vor allem, um auch eine Kamera mitnehmen zu können, ohne das teure Equipment mitnehmen zu müssen^^

[@thomasrichards8055]

Natürlich haben Sie ganz schön Fotos gemacht! I always enjoy your compositions. As for the shot at 8:57, I wonder if it’s a perspective thing? For me I see a lot of different perspectives, especially with the tree’s shadows going straight sideways. Personally I really, really enjoy this shot - it would be a perfect post card photo!

[@thomasrichards8055]

Looking at 8:57 again, I wonder if it would’ve helped to bring the houses further down, as if you had scrolled the world down in your view finder? More sky and trees up top, with less field in the bottom

[@jeskosphotos]

Absolutly stunning views, would you give away where in Austria/surrounding area this was recorded? I plan on doing a photography trip into the mountains next year and this looks amazing

[@danihascrabs]

gorgeous shots ❤️‍🔥

[@teocrawford]

Aww thanks! :))

[@walkfree8282]

The road split into two lanes would be good subject, I think 🤔

[@Ryan_Perrin]

The film had a very interesting way of capturing the green's in the mountain+trees photos. Almost seemed equivalent to pushing the colors too hard in Photoshop, but more natural looking

[@teocrawford]

Haha I remember when shot Lomo800 for the first time my reaction was "ohh sooo green wow" - that was a photo of a field so it was quite extreme unlike here, where I think it has a very pleasing look :)

[@akisberg]

Nice photos

[@teocrawford]

Thank you! :)

[@BboyBio16]

Beautiful video! I just got this camera and was curious if you stick to auto or also use the program modes like landscape and macro? I managed to get some surprisingly good test shots with macro, however the framing has a learning curve.

[@schukaslulz1923]

Ich finds gut das sich nicht nur meine Stimme beim Englisch sprechen anders verhält. Great Video

[@teocrawford]

Ohh ja hahah mir ist auch irgendwann mal aufgefallen, dass die Sprache meinen Stimmton ändert. Ich spreche ja mit meiner Mutter japanisch und da wird meine Stimme immer richtig hoch irgendwie haha :D Freut mich auch, dass ich damit nicht allein bin :,)

[@winnie_370]

awesome video, where did you get that shirt from?

[@OT_smr]

Amazing!! I’m blown away by the stunning videography. You’re truly talented and have an incredible eye for beauty. You definitely deserve a follow 🌷. May I ask what type of camera you used to film this video?

[@heyitssunnytoday]

I thought 11:46 was beautiful :o

[@adi_ru21]

Can you pls make a video on how you scan your films?

[@teocrawford]

Yes! Working on it, give me a month or two though :D

[@adi_ru21]

​@@teocrawford okeeee i will wait. i just found my dads 27 year old camera (Minolta Zoom Explorer) and ordered a kodak gold film can't wait to shoot some memories :)

[@svixpm]

Hi I have this exact camera! For the shot with Maddie and the sun as backlit, did you use flash?

[@keimarova]

yes

[@brianthama2130]

the sound of the camera advancing the film and the sound of the camera turning on and off is same relaxing as the sound of cows on the background

[@teocrawford]

Hahah I also looove the sounds it makes - it adds so much character to the little camera :D

[@bratspinat]

wieder ein sehr cooles video! editierst du die bilder?

[@RafaelRipollGallardo]

Hello Teo, sorry for the random question but I have a doubt about the Hero 9 that you carry, if I'm right. If you go for a LONG walk to take some pictures, how many batteries do you bring along? I really like the videos! Thanks a lot!

[@teocrawford]

Sure thing, no problem. It's a GoPro Hero8 btw. and I believe the battery life is quite different depending on the video quality you're shooting and the temperature of your surroundings. So shooting 1080p instead of 4K will surely require less energy and I've noticed that the battery dies faster in winter when it gets pretty cold here. I shoot 4k 25p and the battery lasts for about an hour, maybe a little more. Therefore I usually carry two with me. So I guess the amount will depend on how LOOONG you plan to walk haha :D

[@RafaelRipollGallardo]

@@teocrawford Thank you very much! Here it's the opposite. Two days ago there were 40°C peaks and it would surely affect the camera working temperature. I am thinking in buying one and you definitely had an influence on it! Thank you very much for your answer!

[@bullsharkTM]

How much edit do you make to your photos in Lightroom? The ones shown in this video? Or were they shown as-is, fresh from developing and scanning?

[@bullsharkTM]

Oh i just watched one of your videos "should you not edit your film photography?" haha got my answer!

[@teocrawford]

It's complicated... I assume you've never scanned negatives before? You need to know that scanning is not always the same - basically you'll get different looks depending on the scanner you use and the method of scanning and the conversion software you use. So technically this is already a form of "editing", however I suppose that is not what you are referring to. After I scan my negatives, I convert them in Lightroom with a Plugin called Negative Lab Pro. In that software you can then sort edit your negatives after the conversion. However this is more like colour correcting that actual editing - it's similar to what the labs do with your photos when you let them scan it for you. After that you can save the photo as a .tiff and then make further adjustments in Lightroom, however I personally do not do that. So I tend to say I don't edit my photos, because I think that is more accurate to what you are referring to, however technically I am editing my photos... does that make sense? To put it simply: scanning = editing. But I personally do not do heavy editing on top of that.

[@TrungTran-go5nk]

wow i have this camera too

[@teocrawford]

Ohh sweet! :D

[@upload2see]

Leider war die Kommentarfunktion in dem letzten Video mit deinen Kinderfotos deaktiviert. Daher erfolgt mein Kommentar hier. Die Fotos sehen richtig toll aus! Die hast du super gescannt. Mich würde dein Scanningprozess interessieren. Hast du darüber schon ein Video gemacht? Ich hatte nichts gefunden. Vielen Dank 🙏

[@teocrawford]

Ohhh danke für den Hinweis! Ist jetzt wieder aktiviert🙌🏼 Nein, dazu gibt es noch kein Video, aber ich arbeite am Konzept - ich denke ich werde in den kommenden Monaten noch eines machen🤗

[@upload2see]

@@teocrawford Klasse! Ich freue mich!😀

Everytime he says his shots aren't good. ❓❓❓❓
