Dan Bullman Photography - Portraits Over Everything.
On this channel you will find my top portrait photography tips, tutorials, BTS photo shoots, gear reviews, and interviews with other players in the creative industry. Oh, and I also like to shoot film from time to time :)
MY GEAR Sony A6000 with a 35mm f/1.8 lens is my go-to portrait photography set-up.
I also own way too many film cameras. My favorites are *Mamiya RZ67 Pro II *Polaroid SX-70 *Canon AE-1 Program *Olympus OM1
For street activities, prefer gold or ultramax. For serious photo: like family photo always choose lowest grain non odd iso film. Like proimage100 or portra400
"I don't develop myself" should be in the title or within first 20 seconds of every film photography related YT video not to waste people's time. We cannot ignore the impact of developer. Hp5+ just sings in Ilfotec DDX, but I highly doubt that commercial lab will develop in such expensive chemistry. If you don't like grain, you can go with XTOL. if you like contrasty look and deep blacks go with DDX, HC-110 will be something in the middle. For absolute "classic", "old masters" look use Kodak D76....
Nice informative video, I’ve just grabbed the camera and can’t wait to shoot my first roll with it! 😊 Just one thing if it wasn’t already mentioned in other comments, the first version of the AE prism actually works also on Pro II cameras, I have one, it is just a little less “sophisticated” (no half shutter speeds and no over-under exposure arrows on the right of the viewfinder)
Hi, I'm still confused to buy a 50mm lens for my crop sensor camera. I have a 18-35mm,f1.8 lens because of my landscape interests. Should I buy an 85mm or a 50mm lens? I like landscape, travel photography too., I prefer to have a multi purpose
Thanks for sharing! Liking the boldness of Ektar on my Kiev 60 but you're right about skin tones being a bit much. I take that back a bit in post. Sometimes.
I went through this decision in 1990 and ended up buying the FM2 for the reason of better information in the finder when using manual-exposure. With the F3 you can't tell if you are 1/3 of a stop of 3 stops, with the FM2 you'll know. Next was flash with a standard-hotshoe on the FM2 and much more practical synch-speed. That sealed the deal and I never had any regrets as someone who only occasionally used his photography for his work or to sell it.
It was not a hard decision for me because the F3 had one of the most important features I needed -- interchangeable viewfinders. Even the Miranda Sensorex that I was using before my Nikon F, F2, F3, and F4 had interchangeable viewfinders. Since I did a lot of medical/scientific photography, I really needed to be able to use a waist level viewfinder when mounting my camera to a microscope or a telescope. I needed to be able to use a sportsfinder while wearing protective goggles. I needed to use a magnified view finder when shooting macro subjects with a copy stand.
Does it make a huge difference if you want to use the lenses for video instead of photography? I have a crop sensor canon, and I’m thinking of getting the 50mm f1.4>>>that would give me great closeup video footage right?
Dan, where have you been? It's been years since you posted any videos to this channel. Are you still taking photographs? Did you get sick and have to stop shooting? Where are you man? Hope you're OK.
I think i depends on what you personaly want and like so many people will always have diffrent comments or revieuws about these 2 diffrent camera,s. I love my instax mini 40 black. This is my holy grale 😂😂😂😂 OMG i love it. The 80,s,90,s look of it the size of the sheets are super cute,the films come out realy good quality and its a good travel size camera😊
The camera is quite solidly made, but there may be problems with overlapping frames. Therefore, you need to insert the film tightly, as indicated on video, AND DO NOT THROW the film rewind trigger, but carefully return it with your finger. Otherwise there may be frame overlap. Have this camera. A good choice to try medium format.
I have heavy trouble with Ektar films. They dont turn well on the roll when loading and are too loose when I remove the film. Have no problem with, for example, Ilford HP5+. I don't understand what happens with Ektar.
Since I have the 50mm Already I see the 35mm images were pleasing to the eye. And if I had the 35mm its gonna be the other way around. We always think what we don't have is magical 😊😊
