Sigh if only Kodak wouldnt raise the prices so I could be okay with shooting this bangin film stock

Everytime I see a Jason upload, I instantly search your channel and see a new video uploaded at the same time. It’s a double feature picture show!

Ah Portra 800 is one of my faves too! I think it just has something extra special about it, compared to Portra 400. I pretty much always shoot it at ISO 400 (unless I’m shooting in low light), and mainly in the summer, and it captures the vibrant blues and greens of the Ontario (Canada) summers so well. The only downside to it is the price haha.

bro your style vlogging is so... genuine and spontaneous that I legit laugh out loud with your videos man haha. Keep it up ❤‍🔥!

Hi Caleb, only just found out you are using my all time favourite camera, it makes taking photographs so much more enjoyable, it’s the little things on this camera that I love, the film window, exposure lock and dx code support to name just a few . Just keep it quiet as they haven’t rocketed up in price like other cameras and I might buy a silver body this time around

[sprocket_holes]

Amazing that you found that subscribe old sign in the end! What a coincidence!
And seriously, you have some real bangers here🤘

Welcome to the Nikon family. I got an FG for high school graduation way back in 1985, dug it out during covid only to find the electronics fried. So I bought another along with an FM and FE. I'll likely sell the FE soon.

[DeanScutt]

I own an FA and was going to suggest it as the perfect mash up of Nikon bodies

[mikejankowski]

You got a lot of really great shots here! Love the pool tables, and that diner with the big old Pepsi sign. Lots of charm in those old buildings. Fun at the mall too (after-school adventure!).

When you started with that ramble about not knowing what you are doing, I instantly thought, "that's why you bracket!"

Fun post, nice little getaway.

[CalvinFalk]

Oh~ FA as in Fricken Awesome??? what lenses are you going for with that bad boi?

[larrynester]

heyyy i live in Bowling Green! about to graduate from BGSU this spring—if you ever come back there are some amazing parks for some landscapes—also hit up Campus Pollyeyes for some giant stuffed breadsticks and pizza

[whoschrischu]

I'm always afraid to use P800 cuz of the reduced dynamic range :(

[marco_renard]

I haven't seen anyone mentionning it, but that picture of Trev behind the bubblegum dispenser is probably my favorite of this episode !

[JamieMPhoto]

Love Portra 800 because it's still like the old Portras. Oozes personality. Also, great camera!

[DylanPackard]

nikon fa buddies now! My favorite lens on that body is the 50mm 1.8 pancake e series, well was until I dropped it and a nikomat ftn lol. To it's credit, it's still perfectly fine other than stiff focus near infinity.

But it's so tiny and light, makes the FA basically pocketable. Plus 1.8 is always great, my favorite lens for doing nighttime neon/sign photography. Good luck man!!!

[RyanBounedara]

LOVE Portra 800, and it's my GOAT as well, but just so spendy. I basically only use it for paid / special projects now.

[DLivingston]

The fisheye really is great, sadly sold mine last year but I have a 20mm that is normally on the F4 at all times so I got something wide ishhh. Any 800 speed film is great, really need to shoot more of the portra though. no Cap. Great photo in the coffee shop. Old signs really are so appealing and I love seeing how a logo has changed over time. That sky light photo towards the end is so good as well. Anyways, great video and congrats on the new new.

[alexandergonzales]

I know I’m 7 months late, but that picture of the guy reading in the corner, how do you take that? Do you ask or just do it?.. I come across a lot of these situations and 2nd guess it 😢

[Paul]

Hey Caleb, nothing to do with this video, but after listening to your wedding (congratulations) picture thoughts. You're going to need maybe 3 people shooting to do what you want. Maybe Jason could stand in for you and you shoot it yourself?
Aren't there old movie sets you could use for the venue ?

[retroyota]

Video is dope, I need to know the name of the track you used though lol!
