Shooting 35mm Film in New York City (Story 14)

On a recent trip back to the States, Lou and I went back to our old neighborhood in New York City to shoot a roll of 35mm film (Portra 400) on our Canon A1. Like I say in the video it had been AGES since I last shot film, and as you watch you will soon learn how things ended up not going as expected. Without ruining the ending all I can say problem solving leaves room for much more creativity than I ever expected!!

The entire point of this video was to combine the importance of remembering to capture your daily life and the magic of writing a blog post. Hope it left you feeling inspired!!

Please check out our blogpost too!! We worked so hard on it and all my film photos and illustrations are there, plus way more stories from our NYC years.



Question of the Week: For those of you who watched until the end of the video, would you have kept drinking your tea too? Or poured it down the drain?

UPDATE: So, according to our local photography store expert, the problem was entirely self-made, we shouldn't have shot on the green automatic setting on the lens while in Aperture Priority mode, that only works for Shutter Priority. Someone in the comments had suggested we do it that way, but we should have done our own research before trying it out! In the end, we were lucky though that some of the photos worked at all, and that we came away with all these watercolors : )

Thank you for watching, for reading, and for joining us here. It means the world to Lou and I to connect with each of you and we're so grateful for your continued support.

Shoot 35mm Film Prague: Bridges & Boats (Story 15)

This was the first roll of film that I shot in Prague and I am so happy with how it turned out. I don’t want to spoil the video for you if you haven’t watched yet, but let's just say the Bridges & Boats theme expands a bit as the day progresses.

I mention at the end of the video how breaking my arm forced me to slow down with the camera. Before the injury when Lou and I would shoot these videos more often than we’d like to admit the actual shooting of the film wasn’t the focus. Instead the composition of the video took priority. Sometimes there would be moments where I would think there was a photo I’d like to take and then Lou would film me walking over and as I pulled up the camera, I would realize that the shot wasn’t actually something I liked or thought worthwhile enough to capture. But knowing that he was already rolling (and we shoot RAW so file size is always an issue not only for storage but our memory cards too!), I would just take the shot. So long story short, on this roll we had to change our workflow - instead in almost all of the photographs, I would go compose my shot, figure out my settings, and then Lou would start rolling and I would go take the photograph. Not only did I feel way less rushed and like I was composing better, but I also had way more FUN! It felt like I was actually taking the time to see the world around me and choose the scenes that were most interesting to me. Film photography is just a hobby of mine, but shooting on this trip to Prague made me realize how it can actually help me remember to slow down and focus on the important things instead of just trying to complete the task at hand.

How to Shoot 35mm Film (Story 1)

Film Camera: Canon A1 with a 50mm f/1.4 Canon lens -- FujiColor Superia 200
Video Camera: Canon 5D3 with a 35mm Summicron F2 (1970) Leica lens

This is our first STORY in our new Snippet/Story style and we are so very excited to share it with you.

This week we tried to weave the beautiful experience of film photography with a bit of a how-to-video with the hopes of inspiring you to get out and capture your environment.

The entire experience of shooting film from choosing your film stock, to manually loading the film, to the sexy sound of winding the film after each photo, well it all just begs you to slow down, to focus on the moment at hand, and take it all in and then... the most important part... to stay present. No checking how the photo turned out, no re-taking the selfie, not even the need to see how many likes it got. Nope, a film camera gives you the luxury of hoping that you captured the moment and letting that be enough.

And while I can go on and on about the lessons that film has already taught me - and this was just my first roll ! - the main thing that making this story taught me is how lucky I am to have a partner as patient and thoughtful as Lou! His work ethic is unlike anyone I have ever met and the passion he pours into creating these beautiful moments each week never ceases to amaze me.

I'm grateful for this week's video for reminding me of time spent: hanging at second hand camera stores, capturing special moments with dear friends, and enjoying perfect moments of summer when you feel surrounded by love.

Shooting 35mm Film in Mitte - Film February - Part 2 (Snippet 32)

Lou and I continue with our Film February series where we shoot a different roll of color film each week this month on our Canon A-1. This week we shot AgfaPhoto Vista plus 400 Color Negative Film and explored Mitte.

You can feel the history of this city as you walk around Mitte, looking at all the iconic monuments like the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, and the TV Tower (which, sadly for this video hid from view behind thick grey skies!).

My favorite part of this area of the city is the dichotomy of new and old architecture. I think the Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders Haus - the square building with the huge circular window directly on the Spree - was the most fun to photograph of the entire day. I was able to find a few different angles to capture the building and it was really fun to play around with the reflection in the Spree.

I have to admit though that trying to make buildings come alive in this grey, chilly weather has been a bit of a challenge! Looking forward to sharing our Kreuzberg adventures with you next Tuesday :)

Question of the Week: Have you ever tried being a tourist in your own city? What did you think? For me, being a tourist in Berlin makes me appreciate how culturally rich the city is. It's so easy to forget when you just move around in your normal neighborhoods, but then when you plop yourself down in the touristy area, and see all these people who are here on their vacation, taking the time to get the most they can on their week(end) away, well it makes me remember to take advantage of all the city has to offer!

Shooting 35mm Film in Kreuzberg - Film February - Part 3 (Snippet 33)

This is definitely my favorite roll of film of the series yet!! Playing around with double exposures and getting to spend some time with friends made it a really special experience. (My friend Luisa's instagram is @luyanoms - go check out her photos!) I highly recommend anyone watching who has a analog camera to figure out how to take double exposures and start experimenting. I already have so many other ideas swirling in my mind of what I could do with layered textures, with a tripod which would allow for more static shots, or with mixing photos of daytime and nighttime.

If you're like me, it is very easy to remember to take photos when you're traveling. Everything is brand new and you want to remember the trip, but then when you are in your own home, own backyard, own neighborhood (in the case of this video!) well sometimes it doesn't seem like that special of a moment to capture, but that is when we forget how precious the space around us really is. It provides us a vehicle for so many of our experiences. And while travel does create some fantastic memories, so many more of our memories are made closer to home, so I am really happy we were able to shoot a roll in Kreuzberg and capture the neighborhood that we love. This week helped me remember how lovely it is to capture the spaces we find ourselves in most often.

Question of the Week: Have you ever taken double exposures? What two types of images are your favorite to combine? If you haven't what do you think would be a cool idea?

London 35mm Film Shoot - Portraits of Strangers (Snippet 20)

Every roll of 35mm film I shoot on our Canon A-1 turns into an adventure. I try to think up goals for each roll, whether it's capturing a new city, or focusing on light, or my consistent goal of getting things in focus!! Well, this roll was a mix of a bunch of things and hope you stick around through the whole video because the second half gets interesting as we take to the street and start talking up strangers in London :)

Ever since our first film video where I took portraits of a bunch of our friends here in Berlin, I've been wanting to do more of just that - getting in front of people and trying to capture the energy of the moment. While I am still getting my feet underneath me as a hobby photographer, this was such a fun way to push my limits.

And for this week's question for the lovely souls who read these video descriptions: What is something this year that you've done that was out of your comfort zone??

Shooting 35mm Film in Schöneberg - Film February - Part 1 (Snippet 31)

Welcome to our first edition of the four part series we call Film February!

We will be shooting a different roll of color film each week this month on our Canon A-1. This week we shot Fujifilm Superia Xtra 400 and explored Schöneberg and I have to say the coolest thing that happened (spoiler alert!) was getting spotted on the street by Arianne and Pierre-Henri. We get to chat with so many of you here in the comments or over email, but to actually meet on the street and get to chat about life was such a special moment for Lou and I. We also loved getting to see the Gasometer covered in the thick fog.

Film February is all about pushing ourselves to keep exploring this city we call home even if it is freezing cold and has never ending bleak grey skies. It is already helping counteract our natural tendencies to hibernate this winter! It is also helping us to capture the city we love so dearly before we take off on our van journeys later this year.

Question of the Week:
What is one thing you have done this month to make you feel creative?

Fine Art Photography and Why I shoot 35mm Film

fat-creative.com
A behind the scenes story of the process involved to my Fine Art photography. I use bulk cinema film. With a bulk loader and empty film cassettes I make a 36 exposure rolls of 35mm film. I use several different kinds of film and that's why all my film rolls are labelled and it becomes part of the process to prepare and organise the film stock. I develop negatives myself in the studio, both colour and black and white and then I scan and archive them-this process is the reason why I fell in love with film.
