Hello again. I can see you enjoyed your time at Mudeford. For much of my life Avon Beach was within walking distance from my home. (I now live 5 miles east up the coast). I've photographed this, and the nearby beaches & harbour, for 60 years or more and never get tired of trying to improve my images. Sadly, recently I've not been using film very much although I have some very nice equipment (not an M6 I'm afraid), the cost, but also the ability to properly scan / download the images have been a negative factor. However I must compliment you on your downloads, and it goes to show that the apparent lack of dynamic range from film does lend a special if not magical look to the images which you are right in saying cannot be mimicked by any digital (Fujifilm) simulation or post image digital manipulation. (When will people, not photographers, stop wanting everything in HDR?). Keep up the good work 👍.

Off to Corwall in a week, and I have been thinking about taking the Fed and some rolls down with me. Weather is looking promising after this months abysmal offerings, so a nice timely reminder with this video to do so.

Really don’t think the B&W comment is all that controversial. I literally can’t tell the difference side by side between say Fuji x weekly’s incredible Kodak Tri-X 400/T-Max P3200 recipes and their film counterparts unless I use a magnifying glass and look specifically at particularly blown out highlight areas on the films where grain isn’t present. Completely agree with your take on color film being far more difficult to replicate in digital as well.

Beautiful video. Much of it speaks to me on a personal level. I've also only shot 5 rolls of film this year. However, for me, it's because I simply haven't taken any trips this year. As you said nicely, color film just can't be replicated well digitally.

Awesome video Goughie! Indeed, youtube's algorithm/policies rush us more than what should be accepted... Personally, I am ok with my favorite youtubers (you are in the list) taking more time prepare content that you enjoy creating. Because not only you have more time in planning and executing, but by you enjoying the process more, we as your audience recognize the quality and enjoyment involved. A great example of it, is one of my favorite youtubers out there, GxAce. He uploads once a month or so. Granted he does have patreon and such, but all of us fans count the days until his upload is up :D As for the film photos you took. Fantastic as always mate! Cheers!!!

I enjoy shooting film but early in in starting film photography I decided shooting film is a once and a while type thing. Although lately I've been wanting to shoot film a bit more just to change things up

Nice video and great getting some insight to what made you "abandon" film for a while. Shooting a lot of film and digital myself and sometimes making a vid or two for KZitem and trying to balance websites and bloggs etc i know how time consuming it can be. And i think its very important to ask yourself why you do it and if its worth it along the way and never be afraid to abandon ship if it takes too much out of you or getting you near burnt out. I thought about starting to make more videos myself, but i just have too little time( also got a family and a full time job), so i promised myself it would never get to a negative level or make me get less inspired or ruin my creativity. Sometimes it dos anyhow, then i try to back off and take a break and it always come back. That seems like a very dangerous circle for all content creators and especially youtubers, who seem to always get into ruts or become burnt out and kind of leave behind what made them get started in the first place to be able to please the community and youtube algoritm. I enjoy your videos but actually watched more in the beginning just because you did shoot film :) Glad you are enjoying it more again, but just remember to do it because you want to and really enjoy it, otherwise its never worth it. Regards Martin.

I totally get most of the points you make here. I just wanted to mention something that might lower the typical content creator stress level: If what happened was that you had a great trip and ruined the photos, then that's the video. Seriously, go at it with the Mythbusters attitude of "Failure is ALWAYS an option." And if that is the story of the week ... tell it! I would even go as far as saying as a viewer it is much more interesting to follow a journey that I DON'T know if the premise works out or not. :)

I hear you! I did share the some of the ruined photos as a small part of other videos, But I think the issue for me is when it comes to editing! I can’t get excited to edit the video, and with digital I’ll show the mistakes but with taking the bottom off it’s here’s a whole roll of bad ones 😂

Thoughtful vid, Goughie. Black background for images works quite well. Your posts never disappoint. IOM, shooting experience and final images govern our photography enjoyment. There will be “learn by doing” errors along the way. Dev and scanning yourself gets you more invested into the final product, but digital spoils us. Long before digital I did full analog thing - film dev, darkroom prints and photo paper processing. Lots of time, expense and effort. Don’t miss the fumes or extra kit one bit. Lots more variables, like photo paper stock and chemical process modifications. Do you sense that having a go at film has made you a better photographer (in digital or analog)? Does one give you more image quality control than the other? (Noted that you wear an analog watch😊). Cheers!

Shooting film definitely improved my photography! It made me think about things more, slow down and frame better! Also I have sunny 16 really well ingrained in my head, and can guess most exposures now which makes some digital work quicker. More control…. Hmmm…. Based on the scanning film to digital workflow… digital camera Raws are waaay more versatile Aha! Good spot on the watch front!! I love my watches! 👌🏻

I shot film for 40 Years and because of the cost you soon learnt to make every shot count. BUT I could not wait for digital cameras as they meant I could shoot as many photos as Iiked and not only that but you saw instant results. personally I regret that the high quality digital cameras around today were not here earlier but I do think I took just as good a photo with my film camera as my digital camera.

I don’t like scanning film as well. Real behind. I have 8-9 rolls that must be scanned. What makes it worse is they were of my son’s wedding and “pre-wedding” parties that everyone is waiting to see. Luckily I wasn’t the wedding photographer!!!

I think shooting film made some sense back when every pharmacy could develop film and provide you with a set of prints. I think it makes a lot less sense when scanning film as really one is just ending up with a digital file with lower resolution than any modern digital camera. That said, if one enjoys the process and the different results then why not. For me I don’t think I’ve shot anything on film since DSLRs hit six megapixels that I prefer to the results I could have got from digital.

Thanks for sharing! I always enjoy seeing videos from those who started with digital and decide to try film. I've been shooting film since I got my Brownie Hawkeye when I was 7. I got a simple darkroom kit when I was 9. I started shooting with Leica in 1968, when I was 17. I've had my current M3 for 45 years. I have a BFA in photography and spend a couple of decades as a full time commercial/industrial photographer. I've developed thousands of rolls of B&W film, plus hundreds of sheets of 4x5 and even 8x10 film. I've shot more thousands of rolls of color negative and transparency film. I missed the experience of shooting film and the look of the results when I went to digital with Canon cameras. Then I bought a new X-E3 in October 2017 and immediately fell in love. The X-E3 is almost the same size as my Leica M3 and has the same rangefinder form factor. I even use my Leitz lenses, as well as my other film camera lenses on my Fuji cameras. I agree about B&W, I can emulate the look of B&W film with my Fujis. Between film simulations and film simulation formulas I can get a very filmic look to my color work. It's close enough so that I don't have to go to the trouble and expense of shooting film, though I like to take a roll every once in a while just for fun. The discipline and skills needed to shoot film will definitely help your digital photography. Now I'm off to check out your B&W film simulation!
