I finally tried a Digicam (is it good?) - feat.
In today's video @megantanart challenged me to shoot a whole day with just a digicam, while she shot one day with my Pentax K1000. It was really interesting to see whether a digicam could be an alternative to film photography.

Hellooo, I hope you enjoyed this pretty different video! :D You can see Megan's results with my film camera in her video. The digicam was a fun change. While I personally do not see myself switching, I do think that a digicam can be a cheap and accessible way to dip your toes into photography, if you haven't done so yet :) Also much love to Squarespace for the continuous support of the channel!

really didn't expect this collab
“avoid the weaknesses and focus on the strengths” hundred percent true! it applies in creativity when we thought we couldn’t create something beautiful because we tend to focus on the weaknesses of equipment we use (like camera) even on ourselves- so yes find the strengths more and see what it could give out to us at the end, and just don’t forget to enjoy the over all process❤

Brilliant video! Really love the interaction and how much fun everyone is having. I been using older cameras for years, they bring something into every photo. Depends on the camera and the sensor. I find the Kodak ccd sensors produce in the early to mid 2000s some of the most filmic looks with bold saturation. Thanks for sharing!

Every time I watch a Teo video I think the next one can't possibly get even better, but still it does. amazing :D
great video & awesome collab! i love using digicams for these kinds of experiments/challenges here’s a tip that i’ve found along the way; if you wanna level-up your digicam flash photography u can try to use an external camera flash, one of those that you’d usually mount on your hot-shoe but it has to be one with a built-in photocell in order to sync it up. you can get some exaggerated shadows by holding the flash really far apart as long as the photocell can see the tiny digicam flash or hold it in unconventional positions. you can also use it for more regular photos but with much more of the scene visible due to the power increase. just be aware that these photos will likely have a tendency towards overexposure especially in the foreground due to the camera not being able to factor-in the excessive flash power
one of the collabs of all time
it was such a fun and relaxing video to watch ☺️

Big fan of you two... Nice seeing you do things together... The K1000 is a very satisfying machine indeed... I learned how to shoot on a K1000, back in 1999, when I was in College... I'm looking for one to buy...
Great video, always good to limit yourself sometimes for more of a challenge. I enjoy using older cameras 📷 and trying to create impressive images with them.😊
I was planning on getting a digicam, the canon sd1000 to be precise because I heard rumours that it was supposed to be really good but I delayed the purchase too much and then the whole digicam craze started and the price went up from like £25 - £50 all the way up to £300 in some places online. Some other good digicams increased in price as well and it kinda put me off for a bit but now the prices have seemed to be decreasing and levelling out a bit (still more than they were being roughly around £100) so i might try purchasing one because my god do the images really have a beautiful feel to them, similar to film but without the hassle of developing.
The crossover we needed 🤝🤝🤝
Awesome stuff guys!

Maybe the next video could be a general guide/explanation of how you make your lightroom edits? those digicam shots really went from rubbish to art after your adjustments!
Digicams are in my opinion another option just like how film is. However what I like about film more is waiting for your pictures to arrive whereas digital is the opposite of that. While digital might sorta have a resurgence, film seems to have more of a resurgence for a good reason, it’s mostly the experience of shooting film that draws people’s attention. This isn’t to say digicams aren’t great. They are cool but I don’t think they’d replace film as another medium

Hi Aaron, thank you for the kind words, I'm happy to read that you enjoy my videos :)) Ahh I see. Well first of all I think as a young person it is ok to dismiss the parents' opinions to an extent, because they are too old to know what is like to be young in this time. However in case this relaxes your parents: Photographers can make great money, it's just pretty tough and takes a lot of time and passion. And to be honest, I think it could even suck the fun out of photography for you and make it something that is purely for work and not for personal fulfilment (the danger of turning your hobby into your job). Alternatively, if you enjoy creating digital media, you could try something else than photography and make that the professional skill and keep photography as an artistic outlet. For your parents again, becoming a film maker and creating videos for clients can also be very lucrative. You could either do this as a freelancer or in a company. For example when I was 19 I worked in the video production team of a marketing agency for a year which was fun and taught me a lot. Arguably that is also the easier route than doing freelance work. Also the demand for video is as high as ever, so I do think there is money to be made in the industry. Hope that gives you a couple thoughts to further explore :)

Good video
the petax k1000 i saw it on the strange things
Hi, Teo. I have to say that I am watching you for some time and I think you are brilliant, talented, and skilled. But may I ask? Why film in 2024? I am coming from the old times, and I had my own darkroom in the mid ‘70s as a teenager. I really loved it and I still miss it (I miss it a lot, especially I miss the smell of the chemicals). We had only film back then and it was our joy to play with it. It was a time that very few people had a real camera in hand, and they could do things that the others could only hardly imagine. Being able to make pictures in those times (I mean something more than the horrible point and shoot family pics, with the available gear for the vast majority) was a privilege as there were not so many cameras around and not so many photos that could show us things. TV was limited, the magazines were few, the web was still unknown, Google search and Google earth were not there yet and a picture from Nepal in the ‘80s was something that everybody wanted to see, just to take an idea of this, other ways, totally unknown place. Photography was precious, as it could give to people a view of a still unknown and mysterious world. Now all this is gone. Everybody can google and see what Nepal is (or think that he sees it, -in fact most see nothing, but they are convinced that they do, and this is enough, isn’t it?). So, nobody cares about my slides of the past. Maybe some of them could still be aesthetically attractive but they carry no information anymore, as they did when they were shot. Information that in the old times was valuable and now it is simply insignificant. Any ways, everybody has a camera in his hand now and our world is full of videos and images. Billions of them. Just a click away, giving the illusion that we can see things. But we are only looking, not seeing. Yes, we as photographers can still make something special, and interesting, but only aesthetically. And this is getting increasingly difficult every day. People have seen them all. In reality they have seen almost nothing, but they think they did, and that is what matters the most. As they click for the next, they have already forgotten the previous, travelling on the surface of thinks, but they do it happily. Isn’t that the goal? And I am coming back to the first question. Why film in 2024? From the moment that the film is electronically scanned and transferred as a digital file to LR it is not analogue anymore. It becomes purely digital, and from that moment the computer is that makes it all. Yes, analogue may seem a bit different in the beginning, but LR and the thousands presets out there can easily transform a perfect modern detailed image to what people try to make with film. Sometimes even better. And with the progression of AI this will be increasingly easier very soon (sooner that we think). So why bother? Why spend money and mainly why do we destroy potentially good pictures, by not having the perfect prototypes, which come out from a modern digital camera and according to our taste they can be transformed in hundreds of ways in the workflow? Transformed to Kodak, Agfa, Ilford, Fuji, color, B&W and, and, and with no end. Do not get me wrong. I would be incredibly happy if I could go back. Take the cameras out of cell phones with a law. Prohibit Canon from spotting the eye of a bird with it’s gear in 1/1000 of a second from 100m. Close Instagram and pull out the billions of photos from the Internet. Then I will take out of the shelf my Nikon F3, my Nikon F5, my Contax RTSiii, with the brilliant series of the Zeiss Lenses, my Contac G2, with the once more incredible Zeiss Lenses of that series, my Contax T2, my Leica Minilux, my Minolta TC-1, and go out with Provia and Velvia and Ektachrome films and feel unique again (as you see I do not sell the gear that made me happy back then - they are still with me and I still change their batteries from time to time just to keep them alive and play with them). But this is very unlikely to happen. It will never happen. So what? Take a modern Canon, use all of the good things it has to offer and when you go back home take the perfect Raw file and make it whatever you want with a few clicks. We can not go back. It’s not in our nature. Sorry for my English. It is not my native language.
I think this episode way more looks like a slice of life anime live action.
