Summer Morning Film Photography - Kodak Ultramax 400

[@sirporkchop2002]

I find it funny that every photo I thought looked really good would be the ones you were the most unhappy with. The one near the end of the car under the trees looks brilliant. It may be underexposed, but I think it really captures that sunny morning feeling. The one of the bridge as well looks great. I understand though that when you have a vision of what you want it to look like, it can be frustrating to get back something different. Keep it up!

[@nikolatomasic4445]

Actually photos are quite good, imagine it like some "vintage" filter, there is a lot more bad photos out there presented by "photographers" as amazing images actually then yours despite your broken camera. Don't worry about it, video tells a great story about how you got this is camera and what you made of it... I like it.

[@mortal787]

Tru, i love the affect so muchh. It makes it different than any other camera.

[@ihavenocents]

Love your post processing. Very sharp and colorful. Very different from the current trend of bright and sort of washed out.

[@remizarkid]

That beginning voice... 🙂smooth 🌬

[@teocrawford]

Maaan thank you🙇🏻‍♂️

[@orin1617]

Thought it was just me🤣🤣

[@hardene8888]

I hope that camera can get fixed. It looks nice! My top 3 is definitely The Red Door, The Door with the Steps & of course The Red Beetle. I always wanted that car. Another satisfying session.

[@katiejantz]

I really enjoyed this video! I just started to discover and explore film photography, so videos like this get me excited to try new things that are outside of what I usually do.

[@teocrawford]

Ohh great, glad to know that🤗

[@stefoo]

Hey was ich cool finde, ist dass du alle Fotos immer zeigst bei diesen Videos und nicht nur die besten heraussuchst. Das macht es irgendwie schön anzuschauen :)

[@oceanman7868]

Jesus christ whrn this video started that voice was so bassey i knew i was going to relax and enjoy.

[@CommiGhost]

You're like the Bob Ross of photography with your demeanor and breezy voice. Great video, excellent channel.

[@teocrawford]

Hahah thank you!🙇🏻‍♂️

[@lukazec95]

This was such a relaxing video to watch, makes me want to visit a small Austrian twon, i've only been to Viena, but my favorite one is definitely the tower at 8:03, i'd love to just sit and vibe on those steps, awesome capture!

[@zackpowell1331]

Hi Teo, I have a Pentax 67 that had a shutter issue similar to yours. If I used 1/1000 or 1/500 speeds I’d get the same partial or half exposed frames. I took it to our local camera repair shop to get it fixed. A cleaning and shutter speed adjustment got it functioning again! 😎👍🏻

[@WRCzATL]

Same here with an old Praktica Super TL... the top 2 shutter speeds would create that dark shadow on one end. I'm sure it could be recalibrated.

[@yesterdaystomorrow2669]

thank you for blessing my feed on this sunday (late) afternoon!

[@teocrawford]

Aww you're welcome!🙇🏻‍♂️

[@jfs_films]

Really liked the shot of the electricity tower! Also interesting to see the difference in Saturation between Gold and Ultramax. Looking forward to more insights!

[@teocrawford]

Ohh yeah🙌🏼 Am I seeing things incorrectly or does Ultramax seem a bit more saturated?🤔

[@jfs_films]

@@teocrawford Yes to me it seems so, or at least a wider range of colours seem to be shown on an equal level, whereas I feel with Kodak Gold, some clearly dominate.

[@jazpotts4236]

I honestly loved every single photo !

[@a5tria]

i loved this video :) found it very claiming to watch! i also loved the overall results despite the slight camera issues, the beetle is defo my favourite as well :))

[@ShadmanAhmmed]

Man u bring out the beauty of Austria, after watching ur videos I feel like moving to Austria 🤣

[@willinirschl]

Teo deine Videos sind einfach der Hammer! Bin ganz frisch in die analoge Fotografie eingestiegen und habe heute meine erste Rolle Ultramax geschossen. Die Farben sehen trotz der fehlerhaften Kamera richtig gut aus! Ich finds echt cool, was du aus den einfachsten Motiven rausholst. Das Bild mit dem roten Beatle gefällt mir am besten ;) freue mich auf noch mehr Videos von dir!

[@phunglinh4881]

Even until now somewhere in Asia I still wish someone would handover me a camera such as yours. Really good story thank you for that. And I have to say the one with a red car is extraordinary. I hope you will talk more about your composition in the next videos

[@EdmondStreetzz]

Oh yes another good film photography channel, just subscribe

[@maxlongman9590]

Hey Im a new subscriber and came from your video ‘’what makes a good photograph’’ and honestly couldn’t agree more with what you said I thought the exact same for a while. Love this video , by the way but please don’t give up on the mamiya it’s beautiful 👍

[@zeynepipek6723]

I really love all of your fotos, I can‘t believe that you didn‘t like some of your fotos!

[@MacnTeensVisuals]

What a great looking camera that is, shame about the sticking shutter. Hope you can get it fixed. Enjoyed watching and love the shot of the beetle, beautiful work 👌

[@teocrawford]

Thank you! Yeah such pity😔

[@nemarvel]

Great photo commentary

[@apb_london]

Please don’t condemn the camera. Without seeing the camera and the negatives it’s difficult to be certain. However, if the camera has not been used for some time, the horizontal cloth focal-plane shutter could be sticking. You can take the lens off and open the back to look at the shutter with different speeds, the slower the better. Is it sticking? I am sure someone in this community that you are building can give advice. One option is to use it a lot without film to see if that frees it. By the way, your accent and use of English intrigues me, have you lived in the UK ?

[@apb_london]

Also, have you a separate light meter or App on your phone to compare with. With age the light meter can be less sensitive. I assume you have read up about how to use it on this camera? Some of the Mamiya/Sekors allow spot and average and you need to stop down. Best of luck and looking forward to what the community says.

[@teocrawford]

Don't worry, I'll never consider throwing it away ;) And maybe I'll find a way to get it fixed. What you suggest actually sounds quite like the issue the guy in the shop explained to me. That sounds like a good idea to start with!💪🏼 I didn't use the internal light meter - I've got an app :) No, I haven't but my Dad is British🙌🏼

[@caypasha]

@@teocrawford so ur dad is british and mum japanese, how did you guys end up in austria! hahaha

[@michaeldouglaskemp3204]

I have only ever been to Aùstria only on weekend trip. Your photos show what a beautiful clean country it is. You are lucky. I move from UK to Philippines some years ago no cold icy winters! I thought you living inCanada. I try to get new camera , my 70d break twice in 1year.

[@joaoclimaco]

Sad for the camera, but I really loved some of the shots. The red door one specially and I don't even know why

[@nobodxy]

Grias di aus wean! Sche dass in der Provinz a auf 35mm geschossen wird :)

[@NunoAlmeidaPhotography]

As always, solid work and great images! I'd love for you to have taken a picture of the car covered with the white tarp at 2:18. The light boucing of it + the wrinkled tarp...Oooof. Shame that camera has the shutter issues...it looks amazing!

[@sheillajaime3587]

Another one! 💜

[@teocrawford]

Ohh yes it is🤗

[@brianthama2130]

hope someone can fix the camera and keep the legacy alive with that camera :(, also i agree i really like the photo of vw beetle :)

[@teocrawford]

Maybe I can find a way to get it fixed - sadly an actual repair is far more expensive than buying another camera :/ Ohh yes, love it🤗

[@brianthama2130]

@@teocrawford yeah that still sad tho but see on the bright side you have extra lens maybe someday you find a camera body that fit to all the lens :)

[@briglnai]

hey Teo, why aren't you developing at home? I also think the Shutter (Vorhang) maybe sticks, a CLA would be the best for the cam. cheers for the vid, keep up the work!

[@juanimal]

8.02 this is my favourite

[@fotonaotemgluten]

I'm imagining the red bettle photo, shot with the vibrante reds of an ektar 100.

[@ReimannPembroke]

Awesome video as always dude! So cool that you got a whole photo kit that was free! I get slight under exposure on one side of my frame on my Canon P when shooting at 1/1000 of a second. I currently just use that for a gradient on vertical photos but I know it’s an issue that a CLA should fix on my camera. Maybe you could do the same if you want to use the Mamiya still

[@koichikun1]

If you check out camera rescue's website they seem to have a list of some repair shops, there might be some local ones that could fix the issue, it's possible it's something simple like a need for lubrication or an adjustment. which I'd assume might be rather inexpensive.

[@rick-deckard]

Did you ever fix the Mamiya? New subber here

[@acmdv]

At least you have all those lenses, you can adapt them to your Sony and get some really nice vintage like images from them.

[@teocrawford]

Indeed, I've already bought an adapter and used the macro 60mm lens to scan these photos🙌🏼

[@Kamil_Konrad_Kowalczyk]

10:50 u'v got bounced light from the wall 👌

[@YotamGuttman]

bet you can get her fixed quite easily. I had my canon AE 1 fixed few years ago at some random shop in Westbahnstraße in Vienna. the guys there open the camera and find the problem right away. mine had a severe rotten battery issues, she was ready to collect the same day and has been working as a clock since, for about a decade now.

[@teocrawford]

Ohh cool, I've been to a couple of those shops just to check them out and buy some film hehe :D How much did the repair cost you, if I may ask?

[@YotamGuttman]

@@teocrawford it's been way too long for me to remember I'm sorry. but it's fair to agree on a price before the deal is closed. Westbahnstraße is an interesting place so even if you end up not fixing the camera, you'd definitely find something else to do around

[@ahmedayoub5335]

Nice ❤️

[@teocrawford]

🙏🏼🤗

[@suchitgangurde3514]

Hey Teo, Great video. Your videos are a treat to watch. I have a question for you. Do you edit your film photos after development or are they as is? Cheers!

[@teocrawford]

Thank you! These are edited🤗

[@suchitgangurde3514]

Thanks for the quick reply. It would be great if you could also show both the original and the edited pictures side by side. It would help to get an idea of how the film you shot actually looks just post development. Cheers!

[@teocrawford]

@@suchitgangurde3514 Well that unfortunately doesn't really work in my case... because NegativeLabPro's conversion is far from accurate in my experience so far. So my editing is more like a colour correction than a colour grading - do you know what I mean? Oftentimes the photo without editing turns out muuuch too warm or too magenta, which certainly isn't what the film is supposed to look like🤷🏻‍♂️

[@suchitgangurde3514]

@@teocrawford Aha.. I thought you were using lab gotten scans. Yes, I guess reversal in software does have its own quirks. I am currently relying on the photo lab I get film developed from itself to develop and scan it for me. Thanks for the answers. Cheers...😊

[@cameron2634]

Looks like your shutter screen is out of sync. Just had this fixed on my F3

[@zinedouali]

I have three vintage cameras, probebly one is broken, I will try to find film rolls in the city tom wish me luck 🖤🤍📸🎞️

[@Om9rr]

Can it be fixed??

[@teocrawford]

Probably, but it's too expensive😔

[@matty9595]

camera definitely needs some love and care (and money). but try to keep it alive because film cameras are hard to find.

[@Alyssa-kc7vi]

what’s your favourite film you have used so far?

[@ericlauJH]

Why not just take it to fix it ? The camera condition still a beauty 🥲

[@teocrawford]

Because fixing it often is quite expensive :(

[@ericlauJH]

@@teocrawford damn wish I could here I know some people who can fix for a good deal but your just way to far man…

[@tszlongpoon5344]

just ask the technician to calibrate the shutter speed. it is an easy fix.
