Felt like I was obligated to comment and let everyone know that sandbags are probably the best call ever when using C stands or other lighting stands. Sandbags and safety cables have saved me an unbelievable amount of money in the studio by saving my gear. Worth every penny and they're usually super cheap as well.
Looking forward to trying out flash with film, shooting film for quite awhile now but I never ventured into the realm of flash. Thanks for video Jesse!
I’m impressed that you have actual Polaroid film in hand! It was my go to for flash photography and shooting it as a normal day to day shooting platform! I hope you kept the film negatives so that you can get a larger image scan! Just need to clean the chemicals with bleach and scan away! Great jog guys!
Nice Video - I love the slower paste of the video From my experience the difference between ambient and flash light should be > 3 stops to be save. Even on the 1/30 at the Pentax 6x7 this works w/o tripod. If I do not use the 90/2.8LS my workarround ist a 2 or 3 stop ND Filter and increasing the flash power acordingly.
@@benjaminheimmerer3004 No, you would have to reduce development times for shooting it at EI (Exposure Index) 1000. The normal development time is for 3200 and would give you a stop and a half or so of overexposure, if you'd rated it at 1000.
That is the ISO rating of the emulsions, but they are push-attached films. That's how most film faster than 800 iso works. Kodak is slightly more honest about it, with the P in P3200 standing for "push". So although the photochemical sensitivity might not match box speed, 3200 is a perfectly fine rating to use for both. I shoot P3200 pretty much exclusively, I always rate at box speed though I sometimes meter for shadows.
I really like the look of the video itself - Im curious how you filmed it: is it digitally recorded wirh some special lens/filter setup and just well graded?? it feels 100% shot on film! (is it?) thanks for sharing your insights!!
The leaf shutter lenses only help if you are trying to balance flash and ambient light. For flash only, it makes no difference. The 90mm LS lens is now very old and the shutter has been unrepairable for 30 years for lack of parts. Same potential issue with the 165mm LS, but it is a newer lens, and a better focal length for portraits. The leaf shutter lenses are slow and cumbersome to manually set for each expsoure. Fine for occasional use, but a hassle for regular use.
I’m just having a hard time getting my godox trigger to work in the hot shoe of my ae1, I feel like there’s one button I need to push or one setting that I need to adjust for it to fire, any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Amazing video, cameras and pictures!!! 🤜🤛
Hey Jesse. Thanks for the video. So if you're using a mounted flash on a film camera (say an old one that doesn't have much light adjustment), you would set your aperture and ISO in the meter, meter, and then adjust the shitter speed accordingly? Cheers!
Definitely learned something from this video!! Really liked the results from the Polaroid back you had in the Hasselblad..those really came out quite well.. enjoyed this one a lot Jesse🤘😎 ( jimbo_rodz13)
i have an analog flash that works on my dslr but i want to use it off camera cause it doesnt swivel and i want to pop the flash from the side can i just use a sync cable ?
Can you tell me how your lights were positioned for the shot at 19:00 ? Also did Simon mean that he shoots illford delta 3200 at 1000 and then pushes it 2 stops?
I have to lot to say. First, if you want to shoot portraits, learn and use some classic poses and not just the, “ sit and look at the camera” ones used in this video. Second, there’s nothing wrong with 1/30th second flash sync. If you don’t want ambient light filtering in, darken the windows. You say you’re a professional photographer, then dress and act like one. Shave. You may think stubble looks cool but it isn’t. Learn lightening techniques. Don’t just throw some lights up there. I’m old school and glad of it.
