Three Important Things If You're New To Film Photography

Показать описание

I’ve had a lot of people ask me similar questions when it comes to things like exposure, rating film, and scanning when shooting with film. If you’re new to the medium, the slight changes in workflow and process can be a bit confusing, so I wanted to put together this video and talk about three things that I think are incredibly important to understand when working with film. I hope this clears things up and helps anyone who is just starting out!

This is one of those channels where you look at the production quality and knowledge being shared and automatically assume it's got a million subs. Keep it up man, these videos are just fantastic.

do I need to grow a beard to be able to shoot film?

One thing worth adding just to clarify things for complete newbies, is that if you plan on shooting in manual, it may not be necessary to rate your film differently. You can simply over expose, using your light meter- same thing.

Keep up the solid content!

And making notes about, the scene, the exposure, settigs, etc, helps a lot later when scanning your negatives.

What I love about this channel is how humble Mr. McDougall is during his very useful tips and gold nuggets videos. Never heard the usual mouthfuls you hear from other YouTubers and he always goes straight to the point, every minute of his videos are pure knowledge gold being imparted to his audience, not that "reality TV show" style nonsense that has plagued the community. I bought an entire set of Contax C/Y lenses based on one of his reviews as he looked so excited talking about them, they were pricey but I don't regret it at all and are the 'go to' lenses for my photo and video hobbies. Thanks you Mr. McDougall and please keep sharing your valuable knowledge with us, really appreciate your work! Cheers! 🍺😉👍🏻

I took your Skillshare course -- very helpful! Thank you. I quit Skillshare since because there wasn't enough by others that I felt it worthwhile to be paying monthly. Yours was well worth it!

So many variables that are more or less out of your hands. And that’s what’s interesting about analog. The excitement and surprise (or disappointment) when the scans come back.

This is exactly what I was waiting for : how you proceed to match your intent and the final look. Thanks a lot

Omg! Thanks for this video. I needed this. So, it sounds like how the film is scanned is more important than how it was developed.

PLEASE MAKE MORE VIDS.. I MISS YOU. It can be just vlogs or random thoughts, i appreciate the high quality of your past vids. But I]'d rather quality instead of quantity.

Getting back into film after an almost two decade hiatus, I love your channel. Thank you for all this research and work! I'm in the process of narrowing down film stocks that are complementary to my post process, you have been incredibly helpful.

Boss I got to tell you I've been shooting a lot of medium format lately and this video is right on time. Really like the look of those portra 400 you shot in the daytime. I still have yet to try over-exposing it I'll let you know how it goes. Good looking out for the noobs

Good starting point, people should shoot more than one shot if they are unsure
And learn make notes. It does not take long to pick up :)
