FUNFAIR | Portra 160VC + Fuji Pro400H 

Loved seeing these scenes through the Bronica’s finder/glass - very cool. Excellent images.

Absolutely love these images. The color palate of cooler blues and greens almost give it a cyberpunk look. Also the double exposure looks great.

These photos are awesome! And the Fuji pro400h really does well with this style of shooting at night.

great images - the fuji 400h really thrives here

Love it!

Wow! Fantastic evening(s) of colour photography. So many great compositions. It must have felt like you had opened a Pandora's Box of goodies. So satisfying to go out and shoot several rolls and come back with so many winners. The coloured fog creates an ethereal atmosphere which the film picks up beautifully. I liked all of these shots but if I had to pick out three it would be 0.27, 4.26 and 7.23. BTW I thought the waist level finder was particularly useful for this type of night time photography.

These photos are amazing!

Enjoy watching your videos! Great photos as always! That viewfinder is dreamy 😍 it’s so surreal.

Beautiful images Karin 😍😍😍 Portra is the winner as far as I'm concerned 👍

Amazing video, my favourite is 4:23

Really beautiful atmospheric look with Portra, and tha Fuji was so clean. All really cool shots, even the jellyfish on acid!

Wow such beautiful colors!!!

I really like the reflections in the water in the image at 3:22. It's so clean and beautiful. But, I could just watch through the ground glass all day. It's so bright and crisp!

Nice video Karin. My favourite was the painterly ‘blurred bumper cars’ image (plus an honourable mention for ‘acid jellyfish’) :)

these are so frickin amazing♥️♥️ keep up the good work!!! ♥️

very sublime work.

I like the "feel" of these pictures hard to explain what I mean but enjoyed them anyway. Thanks for sharing

Your viewfinder is mesmerising.. Great video. The carnival and your shooting style/personality mix perfectly together. It puts on display the nice contradiction of the chaotic/colorful world and your thoughtful/measured compositions. Really nice images. Love the atmosphere and the "ghost" who's "dying" to get a balloon har har.

Incredible! I love these photowalk type videos where you’re searching for interesting compositions. Do more! Thanks for posting.

Super cool. I haven’t been on a fair for such along time. You inspired me to try out Fuji Pro400h at night. Didn’t cross my mind yet. Well done Karin. I love to shot of the balloons and umbrella and the jellyfish on acid has something. Lucky accident.

Great work again, I agree that more abstract photo was my favorite too--feels like a different medium. Such a cool space agey night haha.

That multi-exposure at the end was a happy accident..."jellyfish on acid" lolz

I'm impressed with the Portra images, more so than the Fujifilm. It always surprises me just how much light there is at this sort of event. I love shooting in the Christmas Market or using the shop window lights when shooting portraits, so much fun.

Super cool, some photo's really looks like Coney Island!

Really nice photos! Stay safe out there!

Wow! The images are awesome and i would be very hard pressed to pick a favorite. Great job, Karin.

Very nice images.

Awesome video and great images! I wouldn’t have even thought to bring my camera to a nighttime carnival. I’d have assumed I’d need a super long shutter speed and would end up with a ton of blur but you proved me wrong!

Immer wieder sehr inspirierende Beiträge von Dir, habe dich daher auf RU-vid und Instagram Abonniert. Vielen Dank dafür, und bleib Gesund

Tolle Aufnahmen - das Foto am Anfang 0:27 ist mein Favorit 👏🏻

Lovely images. Really dig this (omg I said dig this, just like a cool person)

The pictures turned out great. 🤩 There sins so many good that one cannot say at all what one likes best. The picture with the balloons is really interesting, you know exactly where you are without showing it directly. Your music selection is also really good 👍

I like ur photos and videos :)

Amazing multiple exposure! These happy accidents are the best part of shooting on film! Love all photos by the way! 😍

My favorite is the shot at 7:24! The multiple exposure is super cool too!

My favourite image is the one at 5:43. Great video!

That viewfinder is mind-blowing, maybe even better than reality. The carousel pictures are my favourites. The fuji400h performs extremely well I think. Maybe it would have been the correct lighting for some cinestill800, but the shutter speed might be to short for your liking :-). Thanks for sharing

Love them all! The last time I went to a fair midway I used an ND filter and used 8 and 10 second long exposures. I was very pleased with the results.

Inspiring 👏👍

I enjoyed watching this, great location choice :) My favourite photos is at at 5:45 of the Crazy Mouse ride, I love the composition and the glowing green is just *chefs kiss*

Ahh I love this. I haven't done any night photography since the pandemic started and I miss it. Beautiful images and atmosphere.

Great shots, love the multiple exposure accident, new subscriber. Really like your calm voice and your Bronica ETRSI, I think I will look into getting one. Thank you for great videos.

Great video! loved the photos, especially the jellyfish on acid photo 😆, and the music was just perfect 👌

These are so beautiful. I kind of miss the Portra variations. I always shot NC, but I'm pretty sure I'd use VC now. It might be easier to shoot night stuff digitally, but the color is just so majestic on film. Also, I love the Pacman reflection ... haha.

Loved to see some cinestill shoots

some really great photos in this video. seeing so many people together feels scary now

Sehr schön! Das Bild mit den Ballonen und dem Schirm ist mir im ersten Blick als eindrucksvollstes aufgefallen. Ich könnte auch in englisch kommentieren, aber ich breche mir hier bewusst keinen ab. Wirklich schöne Perspektiven und Sichtweisen ;)

loved this video and loved all the pictures! i wish we had fairs like this where im from

Loved the images. People added a good effect and context to the images

Dreamy~~~

Cool images Karin!! Love it!

I was impressed with even your multi-exposure by mistake photo. The Fuji 400h’s purple hue works well with night shooting. As of now, I don’t think that I’ll have a chance to ever experience working without h it , since Fuji has disconnected this production. As far as your next time visiting the fair, I do think you’d be pleased with the results of using an ND filter; that’s if you are able to keep butt-heads from disturbing your tripod set-up.

richtig gutes video! die bilder sind sooo gut. hat richtig so diesen 80s, stranger things-vibe! ich war jahrelang nicht mehr auf dem send aber habe gerade echt lust bekommen mal wieder hinzugehen - nur dann auch mit kamera :D

You captured some very memorable and striking images. Thanks for that! It was also lovely to see the various scenes directly and through the viewfinder. I preferred the Portra ‘look’ a little more. The grain on some of the Kodak photographs wasn’t to my taste. But, in truth, they were all lovely! Glad to see you are keeping safe!

A great video, Karin! I know these love-hate relationships with claw machines (:

04:48 Very 'Blade Runner'. I always look forward to your work.

Excellent photos...but I got some PTSD flashbacks from childhood during the claw machine intro. Those things are bullshit, they give you hope and then snatch it away at the last moment

Gefällt mir 😃👍😃

sehr coole bilder!

There are wonderful shots! I wish to see your work with long exposure on slide film :) Viele Grüße aus Koblenz 🙋‍♂️

5:26 is my personal favourite. This year, I expect no fairs like that 😢 no Zuckerwatte 😢no Lebkuchenherz 😢

Great video. Please provide information on how you meter in this case. Cheers from Canada.

Last time I went on any sort of fast rides at a fair, my girlfriend at the time and a mutual friend of ours, who came out with us, had to literally carry me around to the back of proceedings because I suffered delayed concussion. Around 2-3 weeks prior to the show, I'd been in a trucking accident where both myself and my brother were lucky to get out of it. Silly me, thinking I felt OK decided to go on the ride with my girlfriend and I was OK going forwards, but when I went backwards everything started to go all weird. When I got off the ride, my legs gave way from out under me and I lost feeling in them!!! My head was spinning and I felt like throwing up!!! So, my girlfriend and our friend carried me around to the medical office at the back of the main ring and they looked me over. I stayed in there for about 30 minutes until everything settled down. Needless to say, I saw the doc the next day and had a head Xray (this was before MRI machines were common) and found out it was delayed concussion. I ended up not doing much of anything for a few more weeks before everything was cleared and I was OK.

Lovely Images, my favorite is 3:21 and of course the jellyfish. Sometimes I feel the images are a little bit overexposed. Looking to the viewfinder (2:12) without winding before :D

Hey habe grade deinen Kanal entdeckt und mir einige Videos angeschaut, mir gefällt der Stil deiner Fotos echt mega und die Videos sind mega entspannend. Habe eine Frage, undzwar: benutzt du den Autofokus deiner A7ii? Ich finde beim Filmen ist der leider garnicht zugebrauchen.. wenn du diesen doch benutzt, welche Objektive hast du da um wenig Probleme zu haben? LG

..entzückend... 🙂

Lots of nice shots. I liked the close-up of the ferris wheel cars. That expired Portra was fantastic. Home developed or lab? Thanks.

These are amazing, how did you end up metering btw?

Waiting for my reales cable and want to work with Portra 800 in Amsterdam.

I don't believe that 'jelly fish on acid' was an accident, its too perfectly framed! You should have said.... 'And here I wanted to represent the kaleidoscope of light and movement and capture the emotional atmosphere of the fun fair".......or something like that, and never admitted it was an 'accident'.

8:25 "Happy accident"

Hi! You metering for shadow or highlights? Regards from Chile!

Great stuff..how did you meter?

How did you meter the light? Guessing? Always the same settings?

If I may ask..? What cable are you using to trigger your shutter?

Haha jellyfish on acid, or what a jellyfish looks like while on acid? 😅

You ever think they’ll bring back Pro 400h?

I think you should stop worrying about people. For the next time you go there do longer exposure but people always give it a plus in fact you missed moments like a couple was behind you kissing when they were in some of the attractions. Probably is a way to photograph you have and it can be an extention of you but at the end those places are there for people I think you should include them. That is just a suggestion do what you think it works for you. I enjoyed the video.

Seriously I can't remember when is the last time I used film, shooting a fair. Not in this century I suppose...

hey what type of cable release do you use ?

I just went to bed, RIP sleep.

There's a fair during a pandemic?🤔

I do rather like "Jellyfish on Acid"

Karin using dead film stocks be like
