Film is still useful because teach the newborne photographers to previsualize the shot and to approach the process in a more purposeful and conscious way. Thomas already has this skills, so this images would be as good in digital as they are in film. I’m not saying that film is useless for him, because if it provides motivation and excitement, is certanly better to not let it go, but I think is unfair to say that the images are good “because of film”

Instant gratification is not my gripe, at all, from memory even if you processed one B&W film, you would sir posed to place it in running water for 1 hour @ 20 degree’s. To remover all traces of fixer from the film. I think it was the same for B&W sheet paper as well. Thats a huge waste of water in opinion, for no gain in image quality plus the whole process is really bad for the environment in my humble opinion. But to argue the film forces you to think, it’s true, but you can use digital in manual mode and you are still presented with the same problems a film. Focusing, over exposing or under exposing. Etc you could even drop in colour correction filters if you were really keen.

Just had a baby so its a rollercoaster at home. Watching this with a cup of tea and a toasted bagel was bliss. I think the point about the work you do is that it's your flow state: your way of coming into the depth of the present moment. We all need flow states in our life- whatever they may be- to find true contentment and a sense of purpose. In that respect, film is much more of a flow state experience than digital (at least for photography) because the awareness demands are much higher. You cannot be absent minded and successful. Good on yer Tom.

What's up Thomas? What most people don't understand is that film is the bases to all photography. Learning how to operate a good film camera will up your skill level like you wouldn't believe. Shutter speed, ISO, and f-stops all started with the use of film. In my opinion, taking a class or two in film will improve your photography considerably. It certainly can't hurt; in fact it will make you love what you do even more. By the way, I love that camera you got. Peace, and God bless!!!

Film photography is a great discipline. I started out with film about 30 odd years ago with an Olympus OM1 and I think it makes you think in more detail about getting everything right in-camera, rather than be a little lazy with multiple digital images. Developing & printing is wonderfully hands-on, creative and satisfying as well.

Coming back to film is a joy for me. My Hasselblad 500C/M has no batteries and no histograms, I consider the scene and meter as carefully as I can. I frame, focus take the shot and move on. There is a satisfaction in this process that I get above anything I ever do with a digital camera. I do not miss the instant preview on the back of the camera at all. I enjoy forgetting the shot and looking for the next. The anticipation of the images from a freshly developed roll when I open the developing tank and pull the film off the spool will never be matched by scrolling through an sd card. You manage to capture some of the quietness in this process with your conversation when waiting for the right sunlight to hit that hill. It is a more considered way of photographing, obviously not for everyone but it is the way I prefer. When you say that people refuse to watch your videos if they are with the film camera I am perplexed, maybe they should try this way of shooting... It is addictive though so beware.

Hello Thomas: Yes, I also was a film shooter from 1987 to 2006 and now a digital shooter. The good time of the film was that we had to be sure about the exposition of each photograph and bracket a bit too sometimes just to be sure we bring back the correct exposition home. And at that time there were not many photographers around even in the whole country (Chile). The digital age yes opened the door to photography to a lot of new talents. It is just incredible what we see today. Best luck with your photography. I am glad to follow you and travel with you. it is sometimes very exiting! Greetings from Patagonia.

In terms of technicality, film is like photography on hard mode. Like in video games, yeah it's harder, but it's also incredibly satisfying when you achieve it. Neither mode is better - it's just about what you prefer for your personal experience. The other appeal of film cameras is the escape from digitisation. In that sense, it's like reading, crafts, sports, walks, or talking to people. It puts you back in touch with your physical senses and is very mindful. Either way, definite benefits. It's a mistake to see digital/film as an either/or situation. You just use whichever one suits the situation!

Hey Tom, something else that makes film more fun (for me at least) - try developing it yourself! It's really easy for black and white, you can do it at home. Pretty cheap, easy, safe, and a home darkroom kit fits in a small box. Just need a Patterson tank, a dark bag (or dark room), and some chemicals. It's way cheaper than sending it off, but that isn't even the point. It's fun for all the same reasons shooting film in the first place is fun. Highly recommend it :)

I was in the same area of the Lake District a few weeks ago taking images for a third book. Your video brought an emotional response...that began flooding my memory banks of a lifelong professional love affair with film cameras. I reluctantly stepped over the barrier into digital after years of clinging to my last rolls of Velvia. Although I now admit that my high end, high pixels DSLR bodies are far superior in image quality...there was always something magical about using those old cameras. Like oak and leather furniture, I value strong, heavy, well made equipment that is made to last. And that is maybe why I'm still using heavy metal bodied, polished glass ED lenses bayoneted onto my modern digital cameras. Us old boys still love our old toys. 😂😉

Great photos once again - especially that last one. I bet you were overjoyed when you got that developed and saw the beauty! I’m so glad you didn’t make us wait a few weeks for the photos too - I couldn’t take the suspense!

Love seeing that you young folks are still entertaining the old ways every now and then. By the way, you really should load your film back in a dark area like under your coat or something. I used a Rolleiflex for years in the 60s and every time I loaded in daylight, the film would slightly fog on the edges. Have fun and keep the old stuff working. Love to see it.

Whilst I totally understand and agree that film still has a place within photography, I for one have been shooting for more than 40 years and have long ditched my film gear, although I still have my Nikon FA and a Yashica 645( just for the nostalgia) I did my time in the dark room with chemicals and for a while drum scanning and all aspects of film, tbh I will never go back, been in the digital realm since 2005 and have never looked back! I understand that the younger generation of photographers that want the analog fix but God help me I have done my time… no disrespect intended but this is my opinion. Keep up the wonderful work mate 👍

Nothing wrong with a little old school. A friend who races around in a Farrari often likes to take his vintage Morgan out for a drive.

Haha, you're very sweet Thomas! Our Sugar-Free Soda's are crazy popular on Amazon, so not surprised your wife found them :) I've gotten loads of messages today from people saying you mentioned me. It's great to hear you actually watched my channel, I genuinely had no idea and always thought of you as way above my pay grade! I feel bad how I left YT so suddenly, but tbh I didn't plan on stopping full turkey - it just sort of happened as things took off. We're now a 25+ staffed brewery producing 25,000L a week. I still shot a few times a week, but it's all shots of beer cans and packaging lines, not as serene as a Scottish landscape 🤣

Thomas, I look forward to your videos every week. My daughter just came in and asked, 'Is that the latest "Tom" video. Can you send it to me?' You make me want to get out and take photographs.

Mindblowing that are folks audacious enough to call themselves a Photographer not knowing the film side, the base, and the true photographic process... I love both digital and analog ...for different things. Let me remind us all that some of the current great Photographers use solely film...
