[@anachronismic]

Yeah in Brooklyn people gonna recognize the camera.

[@georgia1986]

where does this oatmeal thing come from

[@jchung2486]

i found my uncle's old film camera with an expired film roll inside! took some pics with it, got them developed. found out that on the same roll of film there were photos of my mom and brother - taken 18 years apart :))

Wow. Thats is sooo nice!

hahaha

[@echosierra1790]

My man Willem with the STI, and the stick shift too! A true analog king.

[@WillemVerb]

Haha an analog driving experience you’re not wrong

[@Shrek_Has_Covid19]

sti?? sexually transmitted infection or is it the car??

[@CraigKeIly]

ShrekHas Covid19 STI Stands for Subaru technica international, which is the factory performance shop for Subaru. Willem’s car is a model of the Impreza with their performance upgrades so it’s referred to as the WRX STI :)

[@Shrek_Has_Covid19]

oh

Whoaaaa he has a Subaru Sti, what year?

You know climate change is real when Willem no longer wears his beanie outside.

[@gabelobet8540]

yeah, lawmakers are finally taking action on climate because they saw Willem wasn't wearing a beanie :0

All STi’s are manual. The only thing that looks like it could be a STi are those carpets. Looks like a 2004, but the steering isn’t STi, the trim around the shifter is missing, and the seats and door panels aren’t black and blue. ???

Shooting "expired" "film" in "brooklyn" search results are going to love this title.

[@exclusivepickle460]

I really loved it when you included the shutter sound whenever a photo was shown on screen it just made the image 1000x better please start doing that again it’d be so sick to see it again

It’s been a little while since I took any photos but this has given me a bit of inspiration to get out and shoot some film.

[@ilcapitanoalexandr8698]

Wow Willem Last time I was here you had 40k subs, today I saw this video and I clicked! I was 'shock' that you currently got 200k subs, I'm HAPPY for you and you deserved ololoo! 😃 You just really needed time, you're absolutely talented and a genuine lad from my perspective. I wish Success in Abundance to your life, cheers!

[@hima_1985]

those photos remind me of The Japanese House music album / EP / single cover.

[@DualPixelCreative]

Beautiful frames as always! Especially loved that shot with the spare tyres sitting on the truck.. looking forward to seeing what you’ve been capturing on the road trip 🙏

[@Bokehnaattori]

I have also some old expired films in my freezer. I certainly need to try those some day when it’s still summer. Maybe comes red 1970’s vibe or maybe not. 😀 It’s really exiting to shoot those old films and wait what kind of colors you will get.

[@alexandskully6544]

honestly such an underrated youtuber!!

[@RossJukesPhotography]

Shots everywhere! What a fantastic place to shoot, great job

[@ZenithAkirae]

Hey man, im super new to film camera and just discovered your channel! i just wanna say that I love all of your videos and I've learned a lot from it. Keep doing your stuff and enjoy man! peace

[@cheteu7968]

Dude my life id finally worth living just to see your beautiful work. Thanks

[@TeleJazzStratCaster87]

Telltale signs that you are NOT driving a STi. It's missing both the intercooler spray button and the C. Diff dial. You almost fooled me with it being a STi! :) Sorry for the car geeking! lol Thanks for the upload!

[@chrissybabyist]

Gotta love summer. Nice set of shots.

[@chibbsy]

Willem, once the world opens up again please make your way back to Japan, where it all began

Love the shots. You captured some heat (as always)! Also loved that interaction when some spotted you using the Mamiya 7. Always great when you bump into a fellow film nerd! 😄

[@bendroege]

Man these came out so nice. Expired film is so cool

[@pilsplease7561]

i actually have Fuji Gw690 which is a great camera, mines beat up and been through 40+ years of photography but I replaced the shutter this month. As such While its new to me its a body that shows its hard life but functionally is perfect. Its also a great camera that takes some of the best images the lens is razor sharp if you nail focus its sharp as a tack.

[@emulsionvhs69]

been watching you for a bit and love the STI! I really want to get photos of that generation sometime, I've seen your photo of an NA miata in a recent vid which got me excited lol (because I also have a red one)

Love it. Expired film is great when shot properly 🤘🏼

[@adamjohnschultz]

dude you shot this where i go running in east williamsburg right by the kosciuszko bridge, crazy!

[@Aar69]

Some sources I've read online say overexpose by a stop for every decade, and others say half a stop per decade. Which did you opt for? A little over half a stop?

[@MattDueskable]

in his "expired film challenge" video he says he usually does a whole stop

[@lol-vq8dh]

Love the portra 800 (?) 🤤

As beautiful as always - such a masterpiece

[@TheProjectMako]

Привет!) hello, please tell me, what size are digital photographs (those that you transferred from film to digital, how many megapixels do they have, approximately?) very sharp pictures sorry for the strange speech, google translator :)

[@abc123leslye]

Killing it!

[@waltersobchak4252]

When you develop the film that you overexpose (400 @ 100, 800 @ 320), do you push/pull or develop with the standard time?

[@demeqs]

Red Hook, Brooklyn has some nice industrial scenes specially next to the IKEA

[@chronicconja420]

this isn't Red Hook, in fact I think he's actually closer to LIC in queens than Brooklyn

[@chronicconja420]

but Redhook is fun to shoot!!

[@AdamWilkoszarski]

I would love to see a video on slide film from you!

[@christiangordon721]

Big fan of your work man. Just a quick question; where do you buy your expired film?

[@shotbytobey1812]

Fresh cut

[@lowkey1766]

The pictures are cool

[@peter2712]

What method do you use to remember what setting go with each photo?

[@vegard27]

When you say you have a 400 roll but you decide to rate it at 100, does that mean you set your iso setting to 100, or do you notify of this in one way when you go get it developed?

[@DougHall65]

Vegard, when you "pull" film, rating it at a lower speed than box speed, you're basically telling your camera to over expose (in this case, by two stops) the film. You would then compensate the amount of time in the developer, to make up for this (less time if you're pulling (as Willem did here), more time if you're pushing (eg, shooting 400 ISO film at 1600). I'll confess I don't have experience shooting expired film, but I think the essentials of pushing and pulling are the same. Also, a disclaimer. Willem may have a different response based on exactly what he does. I just didn't want you to be left hanging waiting to hear from him].

[@vegard27]

@@DougHall65 Thanks Doug! Your response helped me when researching further. I recently bought some expired film to try my luck for a trip to the fjords of Norway. Here's to the film not being damaged to all hell 🥂

[@classic_movie_trailers]

@@DougHall65 Good explanation. Usually expired film requires its own development adjustments, best way is to trial and error it, what works best to what you are trying to achieve.

I remember when I was living in brooklyn i was obsessed with the industrial area, its so cool to see it here!
