Please do a video on correct metering on film!

Man, no need to post more if that means lowering the quality of your videos. I really enjoy them because they are good, not because they are many. Please don't be like all those phototubers who turned their channels into marketing devices. Keep doing what you're doing

That's exactly what I need to hear. That's what my gut tells me, but it's great to hear from a viewer, too.

2nd! Stumbled across your videos and was blown away with the quality and style, love it! Even more so when compared to the gear-centric content of other channels everyone else produces. Keep it up, really enjoy them!

Completely. I can't stand all those gear-centric, comparometer, clickbait, fix-it-in-Photoshop channels which aren't about photography at all. Here it's all killer, no filler.

"One percent to the left - one percent to the right" And I thought I'm the only one who's got these problems. :) Great.

Aw what.. You had me so hooked on the binder... Sad...

Re-watching this as you are a great teacher.

Absolutely best fine art photography channel I've seen so far and I really doubt if there is any better out there. The way you work in focus and the pictures are amazing. And btw. I'm the same when it comes to picking one and "the best" way of editing photos. I literaly do the same: - this one it's okay 5 minutes later: - hm, warmer tones looks better Cheers and thanks for the videos :)

Thank you very much! There are some great channels out there, so that's saying a lot.

I got so much love for you for going out with two films, creating your own dilemma in post :))) so good and funny. 🤣

Every Nick`s video is just amazing work and great research. Priceless channel.

your indecisiveness is too relatable. thanks for yet another informative video!

Dude your channel is awesome! So glad I found it. Keep up the great work, can't wait to see the next video. Merry Christmas !

great video Nick. love how you take the time to explain the whole process

Just stumbled onto this channel, and so glad I did. Fantastic work, both the photos and the video output!

I find myself rewatching your videos! Love your work!

Your knowledge is inspiring and I love your free-spirited style of delivery. Really loved this vid and am already looking forward to the next one!

incredible videos, cheers! I follow you from yesterday, but I have already seen many of your videos and I really like the format.

Amazing channel Nick. Love your images, your perspective and your sense of humour. More, more, more....please 😁

Your on location videos/reviews are amazing and some of the very best on youtube. Please keep on doing that and be inspired!!! I appreciate all the technicalities, montages, music and humor! Thanks a ton.

the greatest video about films on KZread. love your content especially when you're talking about the adjustment of the negs... that's the forever pain on every film shooter. looking forward to more videos! and subscribed!

I really love the way you present your video, very unique style, plus the content is always great too

I always learn something new with your videos! Thank you!

Love these videos Nick can't believe I haven't seen you on here before now excellent series of vids and great honest content with humour . Right up my street . Shout out from Ireland .

Really enjoying these videos Nick. So nice to see the process and thoughts behind your work, and enthusing me to pick up my film camera and get out in the landscape!

Thanks for the lesson. Fun and informative. Hope to see more in the future

Glad to have you back. I always look forward to your videos. And for people like me who are fascinated by film but are so crippled photographically to take on the daunting task of shooting film, it helps A LOT when you throw in brief tutorials on why you’re using each each equipment. Would also love if you threw in tips on metering from time to time. Truly appreciate the effort you put into these videos. Keep up the good work!

your videos are excellent, clear, precise, witty and frank.

Just stumbled on your video series while looking for reviews on the RB67, good stuff! You put together a technically sound video while still providing a bit of humor and giving us a look at the finished images-even the ones you made mistakes on! Nice to see, your approach is refreshing.

"There's too many options man!" I feel you brother... Glad you're back to making more videos regularly, really enjoy them. Keep up the good work.

Absolutely love the content of your videos. Love your delivery in front of the camera too 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Thanks Nick great video again, superb work. Glad I'm not the only one with image tweaking issues!

Awesome results and thanks for sharing your though process on taking the shots!!

Yes! Another cool video, and superb shots also! Cant wait for the next one.

Nick I’m really addicted to your videos.

This video was great! I appreciate the lesson on dynamic range. Great work!

Wonderful video. Really enjoy them and your work is just beautiful. Keep em coming.

I recently found your page. Ive been enjoying all your videos! Great shooting and commentary/narration. Inspired me to slow down and get back to some film shooting again! Thanks for the awesome vids!

Nick your videos are awesome really well done. I have been a photographer for many years and you are wise beyond your years and you do beautiful work.

Outstanding video, as are all your videos…excellent combination of artistic and technical… AND, thanks for explaining the source for the metal binders…will not give up looking!!! 😊

These videos are amazing. I shoot mostly digital now, primarily because of time, digital allows me to shoot more, but your videos are awesome lessons in the fundamentals that make every photograph good. Thank you!

One of the few videos I watched in normal speed ... Really interesting, thank you!

Excellent content, love your work. Keep it up mate!

Great with some perspective on your trip. Thank you. Keep up the great work. Your style and personality coupled with your insights makes this one of the best photography vlogs out there. More people should know about it.

POSITIVE FEEDBACK! Love your new videos keep it up bud!

Great pictures! I do not shoot film very often, but in the last couple of month, Porta 160 became my favorite color film. Keep on doing this great work!

Really love your work and videos, very inspiring! That double exposure doesn't look all bad actually as the one building falls almost perfectly between the other two. Also, gives it a very ghost town feel. Looking forward to more videos, esp about film photography!

Loved this and the Route 66 video. Just awesome images, love the location, love the subject matter, love the dedication to your craft.

Love your videos! Please keep them coming!

You videos are very informative and entertaining, you photos are perfect!

Love them all! But I really love the "mistake" at the end with the double exposure!

Crazy amount of detail in those shots. Great work man

Good one Nick, enjoyed it.

Super interesting your comparaison and about the dynamic range, it more understanding to me now.

I enjoyed this video a lot. Thank you. The shoots came out great. I hope you can decide between the two films more easily in the future :). Must be hard to settle on only one type. Good work and video as per usual.

Porta 400 shots look really cool and that last shot with the diagonal shadows, top draw. As always I will be looking forward to your next video. Long live film

Awesome photographs and thank you for sharing the expierence.

Please do do more photo trip vids. Awesome! I watch a lot of these photo channels, and yours is by far the best, imo.

Great video! Loved the original route 66 as well! Keep it up!

Great videos, love your photos!

Love your videos, Nick. Motivated me to jump on a 617 after contemplating for many years.

Thanks for the compliment on my videos! The 90mm SW has an image circle of 154mm only at the widest aperture, which I never really use. The image circle is 235mm at f/16.

Excellent teaching Nick. Thanks

great explanation about the dynamic range of slide vs negative film and i have to say i really like the double exposed image i think it come out great

I live on Rt.66, so I have a lot of local'66 photos. I do like the two videos you've done on '66 in Ca. Mine are in NM. Fun to watch the videos.

WoW mindblowing!! Your job is awesome!

You Sir, are one heck of a photographer. Best damn photographer this side of Texas.

Man, I love these videos.

One of the best velvia portra comparisons I have seen. Mainly because the pictures are relevant to you and not stupid test pictures. Thanks!

On Location videos with the follow ups are great, would love to see more.

Stocked to see this pop up!

Great video very insightful!!

Very informative, so well presented, thank you kindly Nick! Chai

Nice work. Love the video!

Nick and great and informative video. I shoot hardly any slide film but with your generous sharing of knowledge I will put some velvia 50 in my 6x17 back

So good Nick and good to know you're human like the rest of us. TBH, I'd be totally experimenting and guessing on multiple filter exposures. That would be a good video just by itself. Hope you can keep these coming Nick.

Lovely video... thanks for sharing your process... interesting panorama style compositions...

Try the Color Checker Passport - at each site include it in one of the picks. Also you can use their software to make a profile of each film like they do to profile each camera.

Great quality videos and so knowledgeable :)

Stumbled on your channel yesterday. Awesome stuff my dude. For me the portra is a lot nicer, but I’m a sucker for that muted contrast look. Look forward to your future stuff!

Great video! I especially liked the part about the dynamic range of the film. I would be very interested in a video about your metering technique. Awesome photos, I look forward to more videos. I have also been following on Instagram. Thanks again.

great video, solid information

I neeed more of these on location shooots!

Really cool shots!

Man! Ur a legend! Your set up looks soo OCD. In a very good way. Gave me the motivation to organise ! Cheers

Enjoyed this video and your presentation - made me chuckle as I recognise my own tendency to OCD in you!

I think that double exposed was also great. it had somewhat mythic feel to it with all the colors in the palette.

Great video mate

Another great video. As for the accidental double exposure first looks like an interesting image and second nice to see that even professionals make mistakes too. Thank you for sharing your mistake.

Great shooting once again :) Must try some Portra

WTB Welding Building print on Portra. Great follow-up!

Austin Mattison thanks man! And funny you should say that because I'm hoping to eventually make a big print of that exact image. And make a video of the process, of course.

Accept it, this are great photos, don't let ego to interfere. Your ego is saying it is way too simple, but it is not. Just follow your heart :) And thanks for your videos, makes me wanna do photography watching your enthusiasm for it.

That double exposure you hate - is my favorite. :D

Dude awesome video

Thanks for the great video. I hope your schedule permits more videos, too!

Awesome video!

Awesome yet again! Thanks for the heads up re the use of the SB lenses with the Tilt/Shift adapter. Since I don't shoot so much architecture, I might give it a miss. I don't have the 75mm sb lens either....btw, I much preferred the Portra for nearly everything you shot. Strong light and Velvia is too much I feel, but great in soft light. So nice to have a channel that devotes time to quality film work and I like the behind the scenes aspect. Good job.

Joe Rainbow thank you very much!

Great video, learnt a lot from you

Hey Nick! I just want to say how refreshing it is to see you on KZread, finally someone with a respect for craft, and a strive to perfection and is actually a great photographer!! I will add two things that will help your color balance struggles. Firstly, get a color meter - You can get a Minolta Color Meter II for about $200. A few tests and you can determine what is the correct balance for the film of your choice. Then each time you scan film, you can just set levels to make the film edge black, and you'll have perfect color each time :)

Ethan Ingram thank you very much! I'm interested about the color meter. I've used one before and I know it's very useful for setting white balance on a digital camera, but I can't picture how that would translate to getting a better color balance on a film scan. Do you know of any articles or videos that explain this further?

This is going to sound archaic, and a bit long form, but hear me through. What you want to do, is create a color and exposure standard for each film you are using. So you setup a test of a grey card (or an xrite passport) in open shade, use the color meter to determine that the shade is daylight kelvin, or if you need to add a certain CC filter to match. Take a series of text exposures bracketed in half stops. Have it developed normally. Scan all shots in, find the one that gives the appropriate exposure value on the grey card for that scanner. That is your appropriate film EI for scanning. You should then be able to set the film border as maximum black and have the color and exposure dead on in one shot. Its similar to setting up a color filter pack for traditional printing. You need to establish a baseline for the film that creates neutral color. Once you get that setup, each time you scan a film, you'll be dead on, (providing you're cc filtering your images in camera - again, color meter gets handy there) and will just need to adjust the contrast a bit. P.S. I'm in Los Angeles myself, and would love to go shooting with you sometime!

You had me at Rz67, and Millennial graphite. Well done!

The Portra looks nice, the colour is more neutral. Portra was designed principally for flesh tones, it would be nice to see some examples that include people for comparison. Good video.

Nick, if that double exposure were mine, I'd probably print and frame it. I love it. People will be forever asking you how you did it. So you can reply: "One just has to be at the right place the right place at the right time the right time." ♡

Great videos. Just best to do what you can do. I would rather see one video a month, rather than have a few a month and not see you for a long time after. Whatever you do, you do it well and your work is appreciated.

Enjoyed your video. Reminded me of my brother Chet that use to do a lot of large format work. In fact he developed a panoramic camera called the v pan

I'm not a photographer but the shots, locations and dialogue are relaxing and interesting. Keep on.
