Film Photography in Vermont, USA (Mamiya 645 & Rollei 35)

Last summer I went to explore Vermont for a few days with my trusty Westfalia. What a beautiful state, I can't wait to be back already! The camera I used in this video are the Mamiya 645 and the Rollei 35. The film stock used was Kodak Gold 200.

    I definitely agree that there's so much more to take in and appreciate when viewing photos as part a video on KZread as opposed to Instagram. Seeing where it was taken, how it was composed, little comments on the film used and reflections on what worked or didn't work, larger image and more. Looking forward to the next video :) Cheers from Ottawa.

    IMHO those are great images. I'm just getting into photography, so it was nice seeing such great results from Kodak Gold 200, which I just grabbed a 3 pack of (35mm...LOL), and cost half of Portra. Oh yeah, sweet van :)

    I was on insta for a long while but logged out a couple of years ago, I was over getting up at stupid o'clock to get the subject in the best light busting a gut to get it edited and posted asap for only a handful of views then seeing some buggers egg, chips and cola getting thousands of likes n follows. I'll stick with youtube even though the views are pitiful. In the end for me it comes down to enjoyment I actually enjoy posting on here rather than insta. Great video, I love shooting film and medium format but hells bells it's getting expensive. Liked and subbed

    Vlog seems to require much more creative input then instagram. You have to do more producing, writing, planning shots, editing, different takes on and off camera and being comfortable with describing verbally/visually either as a narrator or on camera. I hope the more creative input you give that you get the same or more out of making the vlogs. Love your video tempo and aesthetics. Love your photos most of all. The medium format colors are amazing - very vibrant but with soft edges.
