This Trick Will Make Your Black and White Film Photographs Look AMAZING

[@JamieMPhoto]

Oops, during the filter factor talk around 7:05, I meant 25 ISO for -3 stops at 200 ISO for the Ilford SFX. I meant 50 ISO for the -1 stop for the 100 ISO film I was shooting at that point in the video. Sorry for any confusion!

[@brockburlando702]

Do you end up developing the film at the iso you shoot it at, or do you develop it at the box speed? Please help. Thank you.

I’m generally too lazy to use filters, but I really like some of the dramatic effects you got here!

[@JamieMPhoto]

Thank you! Yeah, I have a hard time making myself bring them out, but I sure am glad when I do.

[@TheAbennett72]

Just started with a yellow filter, I appreciate you trying the different colors.

[@JamieMPhoto]

Awesome, thank you! I've shot a little bit with a yellow filter before, and it's a great one to just leave on a camera for B&W, for sure. Thank you for watching and commnenting!

[@willgiovi]

Now that it’s winter, just gloomy enough for B&W, good time for filters? Great video Jamie!

[@JamieMPhoto]

If you've got a tripod, I'd say so! If not ... you better be really good at hand holding. ha ha. And you're welcome!! Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@brockburlando702]

You killed it on this shoot!

[@JamieMPhoto]

Thank you!! I appreciate it. It was a lot of fun.

awesome Jamie, love filters with B&W. I never used them for portraits, mainly reds and yellows for skies etc with streetscapes or landscapes. Love love love the idea of using them during portrait shoots! Its never wasting film trying out something - learning is never wasted anything (but you already knew that :) )

[@JamieMPhoto]

Thank you! I really need to shoot more landscapes and streetscapes really ... another reason I should keep some kilters in the bag for most shoots. And I'm always good with good points being brought up! haha.

[@cecilsharps]

you were right about the pocketwizards. I picked up 2x transcievers and a transmitter for the price of a box of 4x5 film. I've rarely used filters, then again i rarely shoot outside.

[@JamieMPhoto]

I've really been enjoying using Pocket Wizards again. I even got a module that goes in my flash meter that triggers them so it's super easy to get readings.

[@alexiscuarezma]

this was great!! Man, I'm trying to find a 95mm red filter for my 40mm lens. Certainly a pretty penny ha! I'd shoot it with Delta3200 and meter it at 400. Great video as usual

[@JamieMPhoto]

Oof! Yeah, I've used a Hasselblad 40mm for most of the last 8 years or so ... and filters are the hardest dang things to find. I think the inner ring on the lens is 86mm, if you have one that allows you to unscrew the front part. But then you're still vignetting I think. So what I figured out is that there's a ring you can 3D print from Thingiverse that you can drop into the 93mm filter ring, then you get a cheap Cokin/Lee 100mm square filter adapter and screw it onto that, which creates enough tension to hold it on. I finally got some color correction filters for that system and I'm super excited to actually properly filter that thing for the first time ever.

The yellow/green filter smooths light skin tones.

[@AnalogueDiaries]

Wow what filters can do! I especially liked the results with green one. Images are pretty contrasty. I’ve only used orange filter to balance tungsten film in daylight, but that one yet to be developed. So I’m not sure what to expect 😅

[@JamieMPhoto]

Ohh, I really like using an orange filter with tungsten film even though I rarely do it ... it's an ever so slightly different color than just converting it in post. A bit warmer ... I need to do that a lot more. Thank you!

[@JamieMPhoto]

And I definitely want to see those results. :)
