Nice to see someone using Praktica TL-s and MTL-s every once in a while.

[@MrHotsharkAble]

Haven't seen the prievious parts of the little story but man the audio editing and cinematography on it were dope - headphones showed such depth to the editing can imagine it took a while to put together this video!

[@elias_martinelli]

the shot at 14:54 is perfect - the hallway almost looks like someone had the intention to make it look like a liminal space

[@teocrawford]

Right!? I loved it for exactly that reason🤩🙌🏼

[@thissidetowardscreen4553]

There is always something interesting with institutional architecture, it is so cold and industrial and yet it is a refuge of safety and healing. You nailed the liminal space bit! Content of your channel is great and always thanks for taking us on your photographic journeys!

[@mitch-lawless]

I almost loved the photo at 16:10 but couldn't get my eyes away from the ugly fense to the left. Was such a pleasure when the scene at 18:30 came to be - wonderfully composed and truly heroing the atmosphere CineStill brings to life. This was my favourite shot from the roll.

[@Fowlzys]

I've been looking forward to seeing you shoot CineStill 800T! My favorite shot is 15:14 , love the liminal space look and the leading red lines...hopefully you shoot more 800T bc this was great!

[@teocrawford]

Ahhh cool, glad you enjoyed this! Ha yes - next episode with CineStill will be in a couple weeks because I also documented the second half of this roll🙌🏼

[@JamesBillingsPhotography]

I'm aiming to shoot my first roll of this in a week, so I'm working through a bunch of YT videos for inspiration. Some great stuff here- I think "cinematic" encompasses what I'm hoping I'll be able to come up with!

[@nele5150]

Maybe the shutter got stuck because if the cold? Just an idea but I heard this can happen, and it makes sense if that happens on longer exposures

[@felixrgl]

happened to me

[@thepurestofboredom1219]

Makes sense. My praktica mtl5b can’t do shutter speeds under 1/15s accurately. Dried lubricants seem to be a common theme on these old cameras.

[@ConnorDRyan]

That camera just might need repairs. It’s 50 years old.

[@PabloEugui]

Hi Teo! It was so fun to see this video! I also shoot film and live in Vienna but the most funny thing is that I live close to AKH but never think about it for night photos. So cool idea

[@MrHotsharkAble]

You defo underated the shot at 5:00 its dope! Although it doesn't have the van to focus on it is more a open establising shot of the area with the tall building in the back. Great vid 🔥

[@user12ne7ofpwmdöfpr]

we need a part 2 of this, these shots are amazing. And dope video as always😁

[@bongsound]

I shot Cinestill 800t for the first time recently. The results were fantastic, even if a bit shaky by hand. I must get a tripod and some more of this film.

[@janvanwoudenberg786]

Wow now im hyped to try out my first Cinestill 800T ;)

[@bakeee]

bro i love getting high and watching you videos, great photos. keep it up brudda

[@JokiW]

The chair shot is amazing 👌

[@godlikee187]

14:00 i dont know why i keep starring at this one, its my fav i think

[@scottlowe7667]

You might want to check your cable release. Mine has a little ring on it that you are supposed to twist to keep it locked in for long exposures. It always gets twisted just enough to make the cable stick.

[@_brushie]

If that's the Konica 50mm 1.7, I'm literally cleaning the aperture blades on one of them now. Seems to get oil into the blades and gets gummed up shooting anything other than wide open. They're super easy to open and clean though.

[@georgerominski4476]

Just got my first roll of 800t back, couldn't be happier. If you're thinking about trying it out; do it, just do it.

[@billyhague1976]

I love your honesty and approach to critiquing yourself. Some great shots. How were you metering for these?

[@janvanwoudenberg786]

How do you meter the light in the dark? I’ve got quite some difficulties…

[@stiimpoo]

i absolutely dig this

[@teocrawford]

Aww nice, glad you do, thanks!🤗

[@albraaltaji2193]

I find film to be very pretty and it sets a mood in some way. Love the photos! My favorite was the on in 9:47

[@nexusmediaworld]

Sound design is very amazing

[@itachi_shakur893]

What did you expose for? (shadows im assuming) & did you calculate reciprocity failure or no?

[@godlikee187]

love the intro!!!

[@teocrawford]

Ahhh thanks!🤗🙏🏼

[@foggymossstudio]

love the video!

[@RÅNÇIÐ]

Love how CineStill makes everything look like Bladerunner. Though I'm surprised you didn't snap any gas stations, which are kind of a cliche for this film stock to shoot with.

[@teocrawford]

Yeeeah totally! Well I guess that’s a good reason for me to not shoot gas stations… I think I‘ve seen enough of those🤔 Exceeept if it‘s foggy I might get it anyway haha :D

[@danwoodliefphotography871]

The hallway reminds me of the movie, Halloween II.

[@MyWalks]

Classic! I like it!

[@teocrawford]

Ohh great, thanks!☺️

[@courtalton]

I really like the cinematic shots at 6:20 and 15:10!

[@andrew_aden]

hi, have you always used infinity focus?

[@lukeeardensohn6340]

What is the trigger you are using?

[@Lisa-xk9zj]

I'm new to photography and all the settings yet so could you tell me what your settings for the first pic were?

[@timothyisidro4215]

Hi. I really enjoyed this one! I feel like we have similar taste when it comes to choosing a location for a photoshoot. A unique, quiet area with lots of subjects to choose from, but seldom does it involve people. I mostly do zoom photography and as I was watching, I saw a few photos that I think would've had a very different feel to them if they were cropped in. Maybe you can do another one of these shoots with a zoom lens? Although it'll be pretty difficult to do in the dark haha. Cheers!

[@97nelsn]

Looks like its time for me to invest in a few rolls of Cinestill 800T

[@jb1u23]

What camera are you using, Pentax? its not the one in the description jw

Should I turn on the flashlight when I shot at night?

[@albraaltaji2193]

LOVE UR VIDSSSS

[@teocrawford]

Aww thank you!🥹🙏🏼

[@dresedavid]

nice video, I just discovered your channel and I quite like it ... pretty cool content . I was wondering if you developped that CS800 yoursel?

[@pancakelens75]

Great video as always. Oh my goodness it is SO frustrating when I go to take a 3-4 second nighttime exposure (in bulb mode) and when I go to release the shutter, the shutter cable is stuck open! Then I’m frantically unscrewing it from my camera, just to end up with a 10 second exposure, it’s infuriating lol! I know that most shutter release cables have that dial under the base of the “button” that by design I think, if accidentally bumped into the wrong position will stay stuck open. Now I ALWAYS make sure the cable is going in and out and operating smoothly BEFORE I screw it into my camera🤣

[@teocrawford]

Haha yeees that’s terrible😣😂

[@thebendu33]

Is your camera a Praktica?

[@teocrawford]

Yes!

[@thebendu33]

@@teocrawford which model? I have, among many cameras, a praktica mtl5b. Just got it serviced, love it

[@saketraut]

Which film camera are you using here ?

[@shoshinartclub7390]

How do you measure the light here to shoot in night? do you aim your light meter into the lights? or the dark ? or in between?

[@teocrawford]

Basically in between. I measure the shadows and highlights for them to be balanced, I don’t try to lean too far into one direction. However in scenes like this I might even tend to expose more for the highlights because having dark shadows in a night shot is pretty natural🤔

[@shoshinartclub7390]

@@teocrawford thank you

[@dj80d6]

where do you get your film developed online. and what do you have them do?

[@teocrawford]

I just go to a local lab in my area and they simply develop it. I then pick the negatives up and scan them at home :)

[@tom-garde]

Very nice shots! Which lens were you using? Is that a Praktica MTL5?

[@ghloc1435]

What tripod are you using?

[@ssjouke]

Really enjoyed watching this Teo! My favorites were the pictures with the chairs.. Were the chairs there because of a cleaning of the building perhaps?

[@ssjouke]

Oh oops smokers.. right right.

[@leltob7476]

Hello :) Sag mal wie schaffst du es mit der kamera noch so viel licht trotz der Dunkelheit einzufangen ? Bei mir wären die Bilder alle trotz hoher Verschlusszeit unterbelichtet :D

[@zeiadkasem5151]

Love your vids so much, it can’t get any better I think. Keep it up! I have a question tho, in night time photography is it better if I pumped up the aperture to the widest and optimize the shutter, or increase the shutter to 2-3 seconds and optimizing the aperture to that? Thanks in advance ❤️

[@Ghost_587]

Ich bin erst vor kurzem in die Analogfotografie gerutscht und liebes es in dieses Thema einzutauchen! Deine Videos sind top! 😊Hättest du ein paar Empfehlungen welche Blendengrösse du bei den Nachtfotografien benutzt hast bzw empfehlen würdest?

[@Schaasgurkn]

Ah, remember this place all too well from my Zivildienst.

[@Mr89siR]

Next time your shutter acts up just gently replace the lens cap before you give it a poke.this should save your exposure from coming out shaky if done carefully.

[@aleksandar2161]

I just stumbled on this video and I enjoyed it. Good work. Btw are you from Vienna? I could swear I saw you or someone really similar to you shooting with Leica at Stephansplatz.

[@teocrawford]

Ohh cool, glad you enjoyed it!☺️ Haha I currently live in Vienna, but if you saw a guy with a Leica that’s not me😅🙌🏼

[@jeffglennon]

Is the audio from the video straight from the go pro??? What are your setting for the GoPro at night ? As usual wonderful narration and explanation of your photo process, I always feel like these videos I’m listening to an audiobook.

[@teocrawford]

The video from the location is from the GoPro, yes (I think it‘s actually really good). The voice over was recorded with a Rode Video Micro. I actually made a video on my settings a while ago, day and night are the same: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6DanWdmfamjgbc Aww glad to read you enjoyed this, thank you for the kind comment!🤗

Die Werbung war echt hammer :D Ansonsten auch sehr nices Video! Weiter so :)

Hahah das freut mich sehr!🤗 Danke!🙏🏼

[@muskker9959]

This is actually a roll of film im shooting on rn, one of my first film purchases as well since it was only around 9 USD on B&H Photos! Seeing you use it is actually rather inspiring, also helps me get an idea of what the results will look like :) I also wanted to say you inspired me to recently get into film photography and gave me a new hobby to keep myself occupied with, thank you Teo! ONE more thing, do you have any connnections to a music artist known as Oneheart? I noticed he recently used one of your photos for his album cover for a single, which for the song its rather fitting!

[@moon8524]

There are so many beautiful shots in here! It's made me want to try the Cinestill 800 now :) What light meter app do you use/recommend? I haven't been able to find one I actually like using...

[@teocrawford]

Aww thank you so much and yes you should try it, it‘s really a fun film🙌🏼 I can‘t say which is the best🤷🏻‍♂️ I‘ve used two: „WB Light Meter - Free“ and “Lghtmtr“. Both worked fine for me🙌🏼

[@RÅNÇIÐ]

What do you use for light metering at night? Just a phone app?

[@teocrawford]

Yeah day and night I just use an app to meter the light - they seem to really work well :)

[@GTXTi-db5xu]

Love the video. Do you think it's necessary to use a tripod shooting this film at night?

[@teocrawford]

Maybe not absolutely necessary, but I would recommend it👀👍🏼
