Trying Different Kodak Disposable Cameras (NYC)

[@stvbbsy]

Finally, a video for us who can't afford medium format hahah !

[@twistedstudios3282]

hahah

[@josbrown5380]

haha same

[@TeohDiane]

YASSSS, and more videos on 35mm cuz same reason. Medium format is too exp for where I live. :(

[@DaveWilkinson5]

Get a Holga, a great way to shoot medium format on a budget. Willem there's an idea for future videos.

[@Iliya_sh72]

Get a Mamiya 645 They are inexpensive compared to others and can produce great results

[@RyanLeBlanc1]

Don't be afraid to make a 20 minute long video lol I love the twice a week videos

[@WillemVerb]

Glad to hear!

[@palindromoelale]

@@WillemVerb please do so! your channel is unique

[@dulceglass9111]

This video is proof that it's really not about the gear. It's about what you shoot. (̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶a̶l̶s̶o̶ ̶a̶b̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶h̶o̶w̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶e̶d̶i̶t̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶p̶o̶s̶t̶)̶

[@tsubakoyumi194]

So many times I saw people saying their pictures didn't turn out well because of the camera. It's not about the tech but the skill

[@marcd7332]

For beginners gear is not that important since they have to learn the basics first, once you learn the basics and decide what type of photography you like then gear becomes important. You can’t take a picture of a lion with a 24mm lens (I mean you can but good luck with that), you can’t make huge prints with a 6mpx camera, you can’t photograph weddings or events at night without a flash and a wide angle lens and you can’t take a close up of the moon with a 16mm lens. Gear is important, specially if you are getting paid to deliver the best you can.

[@krisdeaglephotography4539]

@@marcd7332 I think we OP was getting at here, is that it didn't matter if he shot on this disposable or a 35mm, with equivalent film, focal length and shutter speed, the photos would be more or less the same. Of course, gear is important depending on your context but if he shot an X700 with the same 800 speed film with the same shutter speed and focal length as whatever the disposable had and then shot it again with the disposable, you'd probably find the differences are negligible, if any. Why pay all that money for gear, if a cheap disposable does the job? Buy whatever you can afford that does the job you need it to do and as long as your skills are there, you'll be fine. I love shooting surf photos on my D3400 with a 70-300 f4.5-6.3 and can still get great images. Sure, having a better body would help as I would have more focus points, faster frame rate and autofocus that's actually useful and on a full frame body, I could get a lens with a fixed aperture, too. However, I can't afford that, so I make do. Sure, it is a bit more difficult using my gear and would be millions of times easier with better gear but you wouldn't know based on the photos alone.

[@comandosespeciales]

@@marcd7332 Don't worry mate, I get you. The right tool for the right job. These disposable cameras are fine for a youtube video, not for a safari. It's not like a pro camera with a pro lens takes the picture for you anyways (at least not yet).

[@srad.]

disposable cameras just have a special look to me, I love them.

[@coltonkleins]

Crazy how some people paid tons of money to buy expensive camera just so they can edit or make their photos look like this 😂😂😂

[@starylize]

i think about this all the time. the real thing is always better!

[@PAlexandreStrophix]

Ok guys, but if he love the process, photography isn't only the final result this is also the wainting, and the reflexion, but you can't understand I think

[@olil773]

And you should also think about that they may buy expensive cameras so they can switch between modern film and old vintage film

[@anamcaptures8080]

Hella true haha

[@kaif2678]

I think its more to do with enjoying the process and the idea of not knowing what will come out, rather than the image itself. Plus, if you develop your own rolls, it makes the hobby so much more better, so yeah.

[@TheRangerFox]

Videos like this one simultaneously make me feel intense nostalgia for childhood and make me want to grab a disposable and hit the streets to make some new memories. Love it

[@TheRangerFox]

@Bobby Brady I grew up in the late 90s and 2000s homie so I wasn't talking about then but go off.

[@TheRangerFox]

@Bobby Brady It's a subjective medium so inferior is really in the eye of the beholder. You're more than likely right that his style will change, but I don't think it matters how. I think, too, that whether or not something is a waste of money and time is completely up to that person. I appreciate that you go out of your way to look at film photos, even if you have your bias. Personally, I like some of his photos and dislike some. Personally, I also enjoy the process of shooting on film and the results it provides and as such don't see it as a waste of either time or money. Clearly you don't. That's fine. Agree to disagree. As an aside, I shoot digital as well. I don't think either is better or worse overall. They are different, and I think there's a place for both. There are times where I want the more clean, clinical look that my mirrorless camera or my dslr give me, and there are times that I want to take advantage of the limitations of my 35mm cameras. It comes down to style and personal choice on a given day. Preference is never stupid when it comes to art, even when it may seem like it from a purely logical point. I see where you're coming from, and disagree I think mostly from an idealogical point. I have enjoyed hearing your point, though, and hope you heard mine. You're not wrong for having your opinions, just as I'm not for having mine. I think the fact that we're having this discussion at all is good! Glad we're both passionate.

[@WaRe1992]

3:41 This picture is amazing.

[@victorgomez3401]

I thought the same. it's astonishing

[@robertknight4672]

When I graduated high school in 2004 everyone was given a disposable camera for the graduation party.

[@miko-lk8cx]

Thats so cool

[@brandonmcguire879]

I’ve seen some popular KZbin channels do this challenge and so far you’re the best. That’s why I stay subscribed 👌🏻

[@romanspataro1688]

such a classic willem video vibe, happy to be a part of it

[@BRIGHTJUS]

Love that classic feel just gives that 80’s vibe to it

[@BryanBirks]

I just dropped 18 eggs on the ground and they all smashed but this vid makes up for it.

[@phgan_h]

18??? Oh you're clumsy

[@christiancastillomusic2319]

I hope you at least photographed the aftermath.

[@AbbasKhan9364]

I was wondering why the omelette was taking too long..

[@tonytoasty2116]

Your channel is the reason I have been getting into photography. Thank you for the inspiration and keep up the great work!

[@aaronmoiche330]

Love the light in the studio it’s so soft and creamy

[@mikefreelandphoto]

My favorite from each is Roman’s street sign shot and Willem’s shot from behind the man on the bench looking at the skyline.❤️ I love that you guys inspired me to pick up two disposable cameras from the pharmacy after watching this lol!🤘

[@KaylaPhaneuf]

I'm always so pleasantly surprised by how warm the color tones come out on the Kodak disposables! Great shots.

[@laraliske6932]

This is random, but I love this look of white trousers and black socks in sandals Roman is going for :D

[@trcctrl]

I don’t know why but I always watch your videos no matter how long without ever skipping any parts. Love the content man; keep it up.

[@chlo_simpso]

i literally cannot stop watching your videos

[@asherhuskinson6815]

I love the disposable content! I started carrying one around with me this month. It’s nice having some film on you when you see something cool. Keep up the good work.

[@ohhanna3927]

Only started watching your videos yesterday and I'm already addicted to them. Your creative eye is so amazing if I had a disposable camera the pictures would be beyond shitty.

[@asialanzi5471]

I lost my disposable camera couple of days ago and I’m still crying over it!!! I already took like 30 pictures :((

[@jacknelsontunks9612]

I finally got here when you released it im so pleased

[@mathildeaudrain2389]

I'm curious how do you develop the film and scan the negatives so we can see them on your videos?? I'm impressed by the results!

[@spencerstone7696]

Really liked that shot at 3:10!

[@Jonalexher]

You guys got some amazing photos out of these disposables! You guys show that what matters is what you shoot and how, not what you shoot it with. Gonna take one of these to Venice, CA next time I make a trip down there 😜

[@dxxy]

i don't know why i'm here, i can't even afford a disposable camera 🙃

[@erniegumbo6288]

They’re only $10

[@dxxy]

@@erniegumbo6288 some people are poor and some people don't live in the us. Where I live, cameras like this are imported and I guess the shipping cost can be more expensive than the camera itself.

[@erniegumbo6288]

dhay ita ah ok

[@hersvideos6524]

dhay ita I could mail one maybe!

[@eilidhurquhart9628]

dhay ita try amazon

[@christianwood1607]

Does anyone else find these videos extremely calming ?

[@brrrbrrr6393]

i really like how the photos has a warm tint to them

[@ioegreer]

big heat boyz

New band name

[@connorgeorge794]

@3:14 yeah the 60 series, best car ever made

[@romanspataro1688]

Connor George seriously one of the best designed cars ever!

[@singleaspringle6941]

Those volvo shots are awesome

[@markayers6454]

The yellow tint makes it look classic

[@Anastasia-yk4gg]

I don't know why but the tone of your video is very soft and unique. Ok, I will subscribe for that 😂

[@leenkestens45]

This was so fun to watch!

[@gabrielborjas7923]

I can't with the aestheticness

[@Xxcertaindeath23xX]

Finally got a comparison between the funsaver and the power flash

[@hugoquinn7432]

How colour edited are the photos or are they just standard. I really love the colours of your photos they always seen really warm. Idk if its the film the development or post processing. Also for coney island was their much editing or not?

[@Noealz]

glad to see others using disposable cameras too : )

[@amelia_briscoe]

This is a lot of fun. I definitely want to get a few disposables and just go walking around. I would love to see a video of you using an old Kodak 'Instamatic' camera.

[@bigmark288]

I've been waiting for this video 😍😍

[@shannonmustard7177]

Love all the shots! :) when you used the Kodak's during the day did you have to use flash or generally left it off until low lighting?

[@CJK569]

I love love love these videos!!!

[@deIcorazon]

can’t thank you enough for all the amazing content

[@MadisonBPhotography]

Loving the aecetic of these, another great video

[@JacobCarlson]

Which do you prefer: 1. Timeless Disposable Camera Design 2. Sleek Disposable Camera Design 😂

[@natsura9728]

1

[@futurememeudontgetyet1202]

Would really love to quickly hear your thoughts on the technical results themselves. Is there a difference? Aberration, sharpness is better in one or in the other? I don't do disposable cameras, but that would be pretty interesting to hear. Thank You for the video BTW. Kinda bought MF Mamiya because of You, keep it up!

[@emmah7299]

I don’t know why this video was recommended to me but I liked it so I subed

[@Eva-ry6rk]

Do you always use the flash?

[@elirem7224]

This video makes me happy

[@rrystn]

lookin' for disposable camera vids and I found this one and I think this is the best

[@slimlim123]

Should make one on a road trip!! Really stoked that another vid is out so fast. :)))))

[@tobyasant]

People always amazed on painting that looks realistic, but your photos do the opposite for me. The feeling kinda surreal like someone painted them. Always excited what's next from you 🔥

[@CalvinHicks1]

What filter do you use, if you’re using one at all, to give all of your photos - regardless of what camera you use - that same retro look/feel?

[@KyleJosephBuckley]

Oh this is nice. I did the same thing in Canada and I just posted my video. I thought it was going to be a "challenge" but it ended up just being my sister and I walking around Vancouver with the Fujifilm "smile and snap" disposables lol. I honestly got some shots I really love. Great video Willem.

[@annejsjdnemfifj6525]

2:05 OMG that building look like the one from how I met your mother

[@joaopedroschuchter7790]

Anne Jsjdnemfifj most buildings in ny look like that lol

[@LmaoOnDiscord]

I remember when I was little I liked it a lot and thought it was a toy and let my imagination run wild 😀✨

[@juanmontano472]

Loved the one with the guy sitting.

[@Sarahheisler]

I was just in Dumbo and New York for photoville 😭😭 wish I saw you there but I saw Joe!!!

[@a7iyao]

tq for doing this love u dude

[@lisacayssilie6130]

so cool as usual ! what about making a video about the most legendary cameras (in your opinion) ? it could be interesting to compare your list with ours in comments

[@firsthandaccount]

Bro shooting a disposable with you is #goals hahaha

[@samuelenuti5846]

But are the photos edited once digitalized? Or do they come out just as shown in the video?

[@gabrieldeblasio8108]

Very cool concept!

[@paulaaquerreta683]

Are the final photos edited??? So cutess

[@WillemVerb]

They are :)

[@Kit3n]

Hey I was really interested in knowing which film you guys used I just really love the esthetic

[@bbyqngel]

MAKE IT A SERIES!!

The disposable camera killed by the “camera phone”

[@tyethomas4854]

Cool video man!!!

Did you guys put the photos through a filter?

how did u get the photos from the disposable camera into a digital photo?

Were these pictures edited as well? They look amazing

Did you transfer the photos from the kodak to the PC?

[@fudodaniels.6911]

You should try polaroid funshooter disposable camera its so nice

[@vancourverite7779]

Willem.. can you do a video comparison between 80mm 1.9 and 80mm 2.8? i woud love to hear your insight of these two lenses and what your thoughts are.. is it really worth spending that extra money for a few stops more?

[@pixelpokstv5765]

Did you edit these photos before posting?

[@filipaf20]

Song from the beggining??

[@minatehope]

do you use the flash for all of the photos? Pls answer 🙏

[@marthaflores4075]

Did you guys edited the pics after reveal them or that is how they came out??
