A Film Photography Session with Kodak T-Max 400.

The picture of the lake with fisherman's was calming af! Loved the video

[@teocrawford]

Ohh yes!- sweet thank you!🙇🏻‍♂️

[@TheBrokenReal]

My favorite composition is actually the video shot at 11:45. I think it expresses the scale nicely and achieves what you were going for in the still shot. I also appreciate you being open to sharing your whole process here. Thanks!

[@vijaychaudhary9004]

K1000 made me smile. My first camera and still got it. The lakeside I liked. Enjoyed your video and gues I will subscribe. Keep up good work Teo.

[@dtay345]

Good video Teo. Can I suggest that when you have people in the shots, try and get a little closer. You appear to be concerned about getting 'caught'. Be open and honest with people about what you are doing. In my experience, most people are interested rather than suspicious. Keep it up!

[@jameshall5556]

Also depends where you live. I live in the Pacific Northwest in the US. People here are incredibly suspicious of others. If you go to Florida or Hawaii, they’re a lot more easy going.

Hahah the sad truth😔😂😂

[@hardene8888]

B&W's are always so expressive, the photo I like the most is the one with the two guys in the lake. The reflection of the trees in the water is superb. Great takes Teo.

[@teocrawford]

Mhmm indeed - it's really unique and so unusual for me :D Ohh that one, nice - thank you!🤗

[@HaiderMatrix]

Lovely video. I really enjoyed you insightfully commenting on your pictures, what you like and what you think could have been done better, etc. I suggest that you keep doing this as it's quite unique from other film photographers I've watched on KZbin. Cheers!

[@TheFribos]

Great photos,and what a great professor to give you this analogue assignement!

[@farisrashif]

Hey man, such a cool work! I like how the colors of the video comes. Simply framing, simply video. Cheers & keep it up, man!

[@vincentb7865]

I believe your camera‘s viewfinder might not have 100% coverage. Not many SLRs have that actually. It would explain why you didn’t see the truck on the far left edge of your first shot :)

[@teocrawford]

Ahh ok interesting, thank you for the hint!🙏🏼

[@stevanastardust8487]

@@teocrawford typically viewfinders show %90 of the image. Im not sure why this is but it's standard.

[@itsmattgates]

Was definitely waiting for you to photograph that lady with the horses.

[@ReimannPembroke]

Awesome video dude! I loved that picture of the containers toward the end. I have a roll of T-Max 400 that I shot at the zoo that I still need to develop for a video

[@skittou]

Well done Teo! I like the one with the container!

[@teocrawford]

Ahh cool, thank you!🙇🏻‍♂️🤗

[@NunoAlmeidaPhotography]

Solid images, Teo. Great work!

[@teocrawford]

Thank you!🙇🏻‍♂️🤗

[@johnluis2711]

My favorite thing is that every person is saying stuff abt the photos and u aren't getting butthurt, but taking the things into consideration. Thats cool

[@johnluis2711]

I thought the photos were great too btw

[@teocrawford]

Haha yes, it's all stuff I can grow from and perspectives I just hadn't seen myself yet🤗

[@teocrawford]

Aww thanks🙌🏼

[@rjmatter]

Love the chill vibe of this. This video transported me back in time 50 years to when I began exploring photography with a Mamiya/Sekor 500 TL SLR and a roll of Tri-X. Thanks for taking us along on your journey. P.S. I wish you would have taken a shot of the horses!

[@parameshwaran5210]

Another awesome video mate

[@teocrawford]

Aww thank you!🤗🙇🏻‍♂️

[@robscovell5951]

I use tmax400 for accurate detail in a documentary scenario. I shoot with a Karl Zeiss Jena Pancolar 50mm prime lens. With tmax400 I can enlarge details to higher resolutions than I can with the digital sensors that are within my price range. I don't like zoom lenses ... I do my 'zooming' in the darkroom on selected details. I also do telescope astrophotography with tmax400. I think of it more as a scientific stock rather than an art stock. I wouldn't use it for a full frame 'picture'/snapshot. For the latter I would use a rangefinder with Tri-X but that's not really my type of photography.

[@BennyCFD]

I love everything B&W film......Great shot and I know it's all in the eye of the beholder. Maybe experiment with trying to meter for the shadows and push the ASA to 1 to 2 over and under develop a little.

[@cameraprepper7938]

I used the Kodak TMAX400 120 film for many years, I shot it at 200 ASA/ISO and developed it in a thin solution for a long time with very few and very gently agitations, in that way the film had more grey tones and had still very good contrast, in modern words, larger dynamic range. I guess you can do the same with a Ilford Delta 400 film. Of paper I used Ilford Multigrade. Made great images from my 6x6 Hasselblad !

[@NPJensen]

Nice video. I'd shoot closer to the subject in some of your shots. The containers in the last shot would have made for a great subject in my opinion to give an example of what I mean. I agree with you on the river shot as a favorite here closely followed by the lake shot with the family in it. Again, the lake shot could have benefited from getting a bit closer to the family - if not by physically moving closer, then by using your zoom lens. All in all nice work. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with in future videos.

[@bernardelliott1284]

I particularly liked the one with the people and the umbrella by the lake.....the umbrella is sort of strange in that scenario and so adds more interest.

[@teocrawford]

Ohh now that you point it out, indeed🤔

[@eugenemoreno482]

10:13 reminded me of the film Roma for some reason, It's amazing

[@conjammax]

I’m late but that first photo you shown was reallllllu nice!

Thank youuu!🙇🏻‍♂️🤗

[@andrewwebster5913]

New to the channel and I must say that I enjoy your reflective commentary!

[@teocrawford]

Ohh cool, glad to know you do🤗

[@IbrahimLucas]

Your favorite is also my favorite.

[@teocrawford]

Ohh sweet🙌🏼🤗

[@jameshall5556]

I think the van was in the frame because not all SLR viewfinders have 100% coverage.

Amazing photos man! Which Pentax is that? It looks like a SP 500 and if it is, amazing camera I have one myself

[@teocrawford]

Heeey thank you!🙇🏻‍♂️ It's a Pentax K1000🤗

[@dflf]

You might've considered using a yellow filter

[@Fortnite87463]

Great video, love this style of video. Make more please

[@teocrawford]

Ohh great!🤗 More are in the making🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@animatedjess]

I really like the lake shot with the people! The contrast is great and the composition is really nice as well :) I shot my first roll of b&w film a few days ago and looking forward to the results as well

[@teocrawford]

Mhmm yes, I also like that one🤗 Ohh cool - I hope I get to see some results🤩

[@Altsynthesis]

I also have this problem where it gets quite hard to find a right or specific subject to be in frame. I've been looking at the works of William Eggleston and how he approached mundane scenes and eventually made them looking so interesting.

[@teocrawford]

Ohh interesting, then I'll check out his work more carefully🤔🙌🏼

[@ChrisMustermann]

I musste soooo lachen, als die Straße plötzlich ein Fluss war 😂😂😂👍 Die Farbe des See-Wassers war ziemlich cool ... hoffe, du hast noch ein Farbfoto machen können?!

[@teocrawford]

Hahah das war eine ziemliche Enttäuschung in dem Moment😅😂😂 Ohh ja die war schön, aber ich habe tatsächlich nur die SW Bilder👀

[@vertusmatjaz]

I like the container the most. You could add contrast to all pictures btw. Next from the container is one picture that is perfectly aligned as you said. It bothered me something about the alignment. I think you could frame it to have a horizontal line in the middle. Try to crop it and you'll see.

[@teocrawford]

Ahh interesting👌🏼 Really? I should mention though I actually quite like the low contrast look🙌🏼 Hmm ok, thanks for the hint🤔🤗

[@vertusmatjaz]

@@teocrawford you have mentioned that you don't like low contrast look. That's why I said.

[@garykuhlmann8149]

Teo, I like almost all the photos quite a bit. Sometimes "no subject" can be the subject. It's a good way to convey certain aspects of our modern world. I think it's interesting that photos like your rock hills and the containers convey both a sense of calm and a sense of emptiness and loneliness. And the tones in all photos are spot on, imo. Well done all around!

[@berginc23]

Can I ask you which lens is that for your Pentax?

[@jeffhuang1966]

Really, appreciate your video and photos. Thanks. I am wondering which university did you study for photography?

[@teocrawford]

Ohh sweet, thank you!🙇🏻‍♂️ I study at the School of Applied Sciences in Salzburg✌🏼

[@jeffhuang1966]

​@@teocrawford Thanks for your information and your work. I am thinking FH Salzburg probably has one of the best photography class in the world. :))

[@DessieTots]

T.C. The K1000 for all it’s good points unfortunately does not have a 100% viewfinder. No definitive number but I’m guessing around the 90% viewfinder coverage, so a bit of room for unseen elements to creep onto the film.

[@derfalke3992]

I did notice some strange unsharpness to the right side of your shots, it kinda bothers me considering the amount of work you put in. do you know why that is?

[@ev3rythingcounts]

you could have cropped a lot during development and thus focus on more detail and structure. i like your favourite shot.

[@imymemine1373]

This is the kinda youtube channel so good that it should have more subs but you kinda also want to keep it only for yourself lmao.

[@teocrawford]

Hahah thank you!🙇🏻‍♂️

[@AdityaMathur]

What camera and lens set up are you using?

[@teocrawford]

In this video I was shooting with a Pentax K1000 and a 18-28mm I believe (I'm not entirely sure about the lens)

[@vertusmatjaz]

It could be that the camera doesn't have 100% coverage. And it adds a little frame on the edge. There are some nice pictures. Nice episode. P.s. Sorry to ask you. I am just curious how do you manage the hair to have such a curve in front of the head. It's interesting.

[@ferguscheah]

GoPro needs to sponsor you with one that has a longer battery life 🤣🤣🤣

[@teocrawford]

Hahah actually a good idea🤔😂

[@scrips_]

Do you do your voiceovers with the rode video micro?

[@teocrawford]

Ohh no don't ask me about my voice over setup hahah😳😂 Yes I record them with the Rode video micro (I just record a black video and then use only the audio lol😅)

[@Adrian-wd4rn]

You seem to be afraid of getting a little closer to people subjects. The image of the two people at the lake would have a bit more impact if you were 10 feet or so closer. Also, when you're getting shots of the wood factory, there is no sense of scale because all of your pictures are coming from a single perspective at eye level. If you got down low, I bet you that wood factory would have looked larger than life looking up at it.

[@teocrawford]

Ahh yes indeed, I feel much too intrusive when walking up to these people👀 Yeah possibly!🤗

[@kaykutcher2103]

Being in a non English-speaking country I take advantage of my Welsh lineage and pretend to be a clueless British tourist whenever people get real upset over me taking pictures otherwise I'm happy to comply with someone politely declining the opportunity to have their picture taken.

[@thebiblioholic]

The jerkiness of the video made me a bit nauseous as you whipped the camera around from side to side.

[@teocrawford]

I felt it too in the footage where I'm just carrying the GoPro as I walked past the farmhouse - sorry😅😅😅
