You haven't pushed anything yet. Pushing happens at the lab. Enhanced contrast happens by increasing the development time. That's pushing. It has nothing to do with exposure. What you've done is underexposing film, and that is unfortunate and should be avoided when possible.

@@ColHogan-zg2pcThey're right. Exposure and development are two separate steps and pushing happens during development. Any photography book will tell you this, it's not an "opinion". The word push comes from "pushing time". The contrast buildup is achieved by pushing alone, i.e. during development. Under-exposing is not required for this, but it seems like the influences don't bother with books and just popularize myths. The "established" role you're referring to is when news photographers were FORCED to under-expose due to lack of light, and used pushing to get a salvageable image to their editors.

To this day, I still cannot believe that I watched Jason's video for 4 years so far. Thanks mainly to Covid, I started shooting film ever since and it's the best decision that I have made. Thank you for making contents for me to see and escape.

I have a working theory that Jason and Caleb are secretly graffiti artists that just shoot photos as a cover after they paint the hell out of buildings.

WAKE UP BAE, GRAINYDAYS JUST DROPPED🗣️🗣️‼️‼️

The shot you show at 4:30 of the kitchen, that gets my vote for portfolio material. great work

Kentmere is excellent. I regularly push Kentmere 100 (35mm) to 1600 with very acceptable results. I have also pushed it 6 stops to 6400, and crazy enough get usable but dark photos. A 100 foot roll is like $75 and yields 18-20 rolls with 36 exposures each, so its very economical to experiment with (which is why I've pushed K100 to crazy ends). I recently have tried Kentmere in 120 and its great stuff. I just need to get a 100 foot roll of K400 now...

I’ll be only happy if Baxter is actually in this one

I have been pushing K400 to 3200 for quite a while and I love it. It is my goto setting for indoor shots - especially in winter times. Great video btw.

Absolutely slept on film stock and I'm happy to say it as I luckily happened to stock up just before you dropped this video and probably skyrocket the price! I feel like we're on synchronous journeys, I discovered my love for Delta about a week before you posted your video about it. Love what you put out as always Jason, beautiful photographs :)

This is a lovely film stock! I actually really dig the look!

Personally I think Kentmere is natively an 800 ISO film mis-labeled. When you develop it at box speed it looks super dense, and when I stand develop it (which should do best at the native ISO of the film since it has no compensation methods built in, other than just reducing the difference between all stops) 800 looks the best.

@@snappy8k I pretty much just settled awhile back on kentmere as the best. Most films are honestly pretty similar, but kentmere is a bit better than anything else I've tried in this application for under control grain (as you see in the video), and since it's cheapest as well, there's not much reason to look further. I use Delta 3200 when I WANT a bunch of grain on purpose.

That’s a pretty interesting result! I wouldn’t expect that and it’s good to know that you can use a roll of cheap Kentmere when a fast film is needed.

i was so inspired by your video i saved for a year to get a pentax 6x7 and it was amazing im still saving up for 2 more months for the grip and hood

Glad to see the love for Kentmere 400

Stoked for someone of your viewership to spread the word on this incredible film. I really think it truly shines when pushed 800-3200. I've gotten halfway decent stuff at 6400 ISO but it's garbage at 12,500.

your reccomendation to push kentmere to 1600 changed my life

They look great at a three stop push. I have some in the fridge I was gonna shoot at 200 ISO with a standard development to get the bright Texas sun effects and dense negs for digicam scanning. But I love seeing the push. I can foresee going this way if I know I can run out the roll on my 503CW in appropriate light. Thank you.

@Davide_LP

4 ай бұрын

You can shoot it at 200iso, it's its true sensitivity, you meter in the shadows and underexpose them by 2 stops, so they will actually be shadows in your negative. Then you can increase the development time, so that the contrast will rise and you won't get a flat negative. Remember that what a scanner can see from your film is much more than what a chemical paper could. So the result that grainydays obtained would not be possible for an analog print (in an analog print you would have ALL the shadows COMPLETLY pure black)

@Davide_LP

4 ай бұрын

Exposure controls how much information in the shadows is captured, the duration of the development controls how much contrast you will have, so you don't have to underexpose a film in order to increase the contrast, you just have to develop it for more time

I tried this a few years ago with the 35mm iteration. My photo mates thought it was ridiculous but after developing it in HC 110, the result was rather pleasing, even with the grain being somewhat too big in some cases.

As an Aussie, I'm on board with the new nickname for this film 😅😅

Another grainydays upload! Is it my birthday!

Damn that does look pretty nice. Loading a roll now!

I’m loving the shots you got and the high dynamic results that you’re getting by pushing it. I’m looking for something a bit more contrasty, would you have some tips? Thanks

Fascinating. I've been pushing Delta 400 2 stops for awhile and recently some xp2 with good results. The xp2 tends to be very contrast though. I'll try with my fomapan 400 and let you know how it goes. Abiut time I took the mamaiya 7 for a walk

That's a slippery slope to pushing Fomapan 100 to 1600

I've been a big fan of Agfa Copex 50, really cheap and very sharp, definitely recommend giving it a try

I absolutely love kentmere. I usually push it 2 stops and I am curious to try it pushed 3 now.

Educational with a stellar sign off

I hope it's as good in 35mm! Curious to see if the grain is crazy bad on a smaller format. I'll find out I suppose!

Man these shots are 🔥🔥 Are these shot on the 65mm lens?

Thanks for video🙏

I shot Kentmere 400 at 3200 ISO to photograph an indoor basketball game once. I developed it using HC-110, semi-stand at 1+64 for 45 minutes, with 2 inversions every 8 minutes, or so. They came out looking pretty decent, actually.

Like this, thank you. But, the comparison between your Spain Delta 3200 shots and the Calif. Kentmere 3200 shots is not convincing to me, all the Kentmere shots had bright light situations. What would that film do if shot wide open at 1/15th like that Spain cathedral shot? How much grain would it produce, would it show detail in dark parts of the image? Shoot another roll in low light conditions!? Also interesting to know for me as a home souper, what developer does your lab use on B&W films?

Damn I'm a fan of shooting K400 at 800 but I've never pushed it to infinity and beyond. You've inspired me and now I gotta get jiggy with it and push it to 256000!!!!!! 😂

Subscribed. Confused though. If it's less light sensitive (less silver) than advertised, shouldn't it be pulled by 3 stops and then developed for recommended time or less?

9:03 Also depends on developer used for both of these. I think different dev chemicals were used but that's just my guess

you should review their 50 iso film ilford pan f 50 it gives off a classic look and there’s barely any grain

Neat results! Which developer was used?

I am just curious, for the photos you put in your portfolio, what do you use them for? What projects do you imagine they would get for you?

Nice one,but you are using a larger format camera.I wonder how far you could push 35mm filmstock 'Cause I have some in my fridge and I really hate flat looking images....................

Do you know what the pushed Kentmere was developed in? The grain or lack of it is wild to me.

So when you push the film +3 stops, does it mean that you have to shoot everything under the box speed 3 stops and push the film +3 stops when developing? Or just shoot it normally and push it in the developing process?

What do you use your portfolio for?

Hey, I can't find the website to No 1 beach, is it No 1 beach or No one beach?

what developer was used? can you tell the dev times for 1600/3200? I tried Kent400 several times and there was always something i liked and something i absolutely disliked about the look, but i couldn´t put my finger on it. I once overdeveloped Kent100 badly and since then i never bought it again. The 3200 iso looks so good. I really adore the texture and mood.

When you under-expose 3 stops do you account for it during development and keep the film in chemicals for longer? Or are those photos that you showed developed normally and just adjusted in lightroom afterwards?

Yes otherwise you just underexpose. By Push(procces)ing you develop it longer to try to account for the underexposure. Shooting film at a faster speed isn’t pushing, it’s just underexposing. Pushing is the development part. You can also push without underexposing.

IMO your shots of Delta3200 have a pictorial effect with the grain structure. It works nice for those Spain landscape shots. Kentmere 400 pushed at 3200 looks way cleaner and I feel works better for more "reporter" photos.

Kentmere 400 still has an anti-halation layer, or at least I've had a bunch of purpleish dye on my hands after mishandling with sweaty hands during development...

Interesting about labs charging for pushing black and white. Our lab only charges for C41 to be pushed. Our thinking is that the b&w machine always needs the time programmed in and pushing C41 halts all other work going through until that film is out.

How do you find all of these abandoned places man?

Grainy days buys a grainy film and then goes against the grain to push it to 3200. Surprisingly he finds there's not a grain of truth in the belief that it'll max out. Grainy days loses his faith and finds a new faith.

The results are so amazing, you need to try pushing its limits with maybe +4 or +5 stops?

What does "3 stops" mean when pushing? As in putting camera iso setting to 1600? What exactly is a "stop"?

@behindhiscam

4 ай бұрын

a stop isnt an exact “measurement” but rather a doubling or halving of light. for example if you were to push a film stock 1 stop, you would double the iso you are metering at (ex shooting 200iso at 400iso) so three stops in this case would be 3200iso (800->1600->3200). if you overexposed by 1 stop, you can just halve the iso (shooting 400iso @ 200)

It’s crazy you shoot black and white but don’t develop film or enlarge it in a dark room

What dev did you use? Like the results 🙌

Does bruv drive A pontiac GP?

ah yes, Kentmere, the "does this camera still work?" stock. nice to see it can actually do some work

the only thing stopping me shooting k400 at 3200 is that i develop myself. That means shaking that Jobo tank like a cocktail for nearly half an hour. Brutal

Not been here for a while were is the hound still about ❤

This is the film that my college course buys and I’ve always hated it because of how flat it is and have always brought my own film like ilford hp5 when doing lessons with film cameras but knowing how good it is when pushed I might start using it more often.

Kentmere at box speed is kinda flat making it easy to print but the scans are usually weak. The push seems to really wake it up.
