Film Photography Road Trip in The Outer Banks
Exploring Wildwood and the Outer Banks with my Mamiya 645, Rollei 35 and the Fuji X100V (I share my thoughts about this camera at the end of the video). It was a lot of fun to return to North Carolina as I had been there a few years ago on family vacation.

Beautiful shore photos! I think my personal favorites are the Wildwood ones with that NJ beach architecture and the gorgeous light. What you mention about recording on the phone makes a lot of sense; I’ve just been noticing that a lot of Grainydays / Bad Flashes road-trip videos are shot on their phones, and it seems like a great way to shoot establishing shots and b-roll for everything without having to go crazy with yet another full sized camera. Then, back at home, you can record a narration to camera with higher quality. What people really come for is the photography and the good vibes, right?
@KamVachon

Beautiful images! The 100V looked surprisingly good. Was there a film sim you tended to shoot and how much editing did you do to your jpgs?
@KamVachon
Жыл бұрын
Thank you! I shot with the Portra 400 film emulation! If I shoot JPEG with the Fuji X100V I'll edit them slighty (highlight, shadows, contrast and colors)
I have been taking pictures with the X100V since mid 2020. Sometimes the auto focus is not 100% but overall I am very pleased with the camera. I like the aspect ratios in particular being able to change for my Rose Flowers photography. Astia Colour simulation is my favourite and a tip that I have is to try to de-saturate Astia for the black and white images. This just seems to work for me and I prefer this to the Ascros.

Congrats to your videos and work you put into. May I ask in which quality you develop (or let develop) your film pics? I for myself let my films develop at a laboratory in lower quality to safe some money. On Instagram they look quite ok, but I wonder if they would be still enough quality if I would make a video like you. Anyway, keep going. Appreciate your channel.
