Giveaway at the end!

[@AleksandrVerbetsky]

this brotha needs more views. The production alone is worth watching. nice work!

[@nicklopro]

Thank you Aleksandr!

[@beverlysmith8616]

Enthralling! I laughed. I cried. I worried. So glad to see more of Sarah! You are both such naturals!! I want the mac pic!

[@nicklopro]

Thank you ma! You can have Sarah's Mac art

[@angelojester]

Dude super pumped you made this. I’ve seen the other videos on it but not a real video about this guy.

[@nicklopro]

@angelojester thanks for tuning in dawgie!

[@JamesKrudop]

I absolutely love the energy you bring to your videos -- the chaos, the emotion, the sense of humor. All of it. Subscribed.

[@nicklopro]

Thank you for watching this one. Idk how I'll ever top this masterpiece. I'm super proud of it. The world never asked for a 40minute pinhole drama but here you go

[@hunterhart1]

I appreciate how much of yourself you are in your videos. You’re so vain you probably think this video is about you had me chuckling 😅. I think us 6’2” people tend to like low angles because we are used to looking kind of down sometimes. Love the reality tv feel with the interview style that you did. Great video as always. Super proud of you. Oh and really cool camera and great to see more of Sarah, Sara, Cera or Sera lol

[@nicklopro]

Sarah with an H! Thank you Hunter, the whole reality TV vibe was inspired by Matty Mattheson's just a dash series

[@Martijnvanoers]

Duuuuude this is the best video ever! It so refreshing to see someone show raw, first time use of this incredible camera, including all the challeges it offers. THANK YOU!

[@nicklopro]

@Martijnvanoers thanks for the pointers man! I still have tons of paper and developer to blow through. Maybe a follow up video one day. Probably shorter 😆 🤣 😂 😹

you guys are so much fun. and some of those photos were really great! my new favorite channel by far. keep being you!!

[@nicklopro]

Thank you so much! This Pinsta video turned into such a long thing. Worked really hard to cut together a constant stream of ups and downs, anticipation and reveals, failures and triumphs. It was a blast working to dramaticize such a silly niche camera process.

[@melodeathguy]

I love this channel, in contrast of lo-fi vibe boring channels we get TLC quality film camera content!

Some of those old-school single-use flashbulbs are supposed to be pretty darn powerful (like take a flash picture from an airplane a few thousand feet in the air level powerful at the most powerful end). Maybe something like that could work?

You did a great job showing how the camera works. I may get one for my birthday later this month! Question: Is the developer one use and then discard? Just curious. You took lots of photos! Amazing job and amazing video. Will watch it again! All the best. Anthony 🇺🇸

[@adamruzzamenti3762]

Curious how you are going about washing the prints while on the road? It’s fiber based paperso doesn’t it need 30-60 minutes of running wash water? Also impressed by the seemingly lack of curl once dried

[@nicklopro]

@adamruzzamenti3762 the paper spec sheet from ilford suggests washing for 1 hour. We just agitate in the pinsta back for 1-2 minutes with distilled water. I was told by someone with hundreds of these prints from years ago that he is seeing no degradation. But only time will tell if my non official archival rinse will bite me in the ass. For curling prevention I use the red magnetic frames the camera came with. You can see me using them after I take my shot at stonehenge.

[@adamruzzamenti3762]

@@nicklopro Thanks for the response! Ive been looking into the pinsta to maybe shoot paper in my speed graphic first, but then dev in the field with the pinsta. I was thinking maybe do an initial wash in the pinsta for a few minutes in the field and then keeping it in a tupperware with a lid and distilled water for a longer wash. Driving to the next location would agitate the Tupperware some. Ive tried doing paper negative reversals in camera with ilford rc paper with mixed results. It's cheaper and wash times are shorter, but a bit more process.

[@nicklopro]

@adamruzzamenti3762 I've considered doing reversal too. The cameradactyl guy has a vid on it
