I saw willem verbeeck's video on the stand the other day and was amazed by his tones and colors. However, it wasn't until I saw William Sheepskin's video about the Hasselblad flextight x5 that I realized why. Kodak Gold gives me the opportunity to get the look I've always wanted at a reasonable price. Since the film shortage has also affected me, I just completely overdid it and bought a whole year's supply of film in one fell swoop. Now I'm happy and my whole freezer is full of film. that's the way it has to be. ✌

Thanks for watching. 🙏 Do you like Nickelback...ehm I mean Kodak Gold?

@AlexOnStreets 3 года назад

I like ONE Nickelback song ok? OK!? It's "Someday" but for the love of god don't watch the music video! It's like when you come to Japan you will do Karaoke and if you select this song in the machine you wont know if it's one of those generic music videos for (insert rock band) or if it's specifically made for the song. BUT for some reason I like the song. This is not a proud moment for me.

@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel 3 года назад

@@AlexOnStreets i think i can resist watching the nickelback music video.... just like that. 😆 For karaoke, the songs are certainly quite good. 😆 I liked the fact that a game developer once called his project Nickelback to make sure that no one investigates. 😂 But yes everyone has certainly a "favorite" NIckelback song.

@Herfinnur 3 года назад

Well, it never, ever looked anything at all like that when I used it some 20 years ago. I still liked it, but what the hell did you do to make it look that good? Do you develop it yourself? And no, I've never ever looked any Nickelback song. I remember thinking that at least their guitar sound was really good, for about twenty days until they annoyed me so much that I completely stopped listening to any pop-rock music at all for several years.

@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel 3 года назад

@@Herfinnur maybe 20 years ago it could be a different film stock. Like the portra 400 we have now didn't exist 20 years ago. 😄 I meteres for the shadows and give it a extra stop of light. the rest is post processing with negative lab pro and a bit of a white balance change. nothing a good lab couldn't do. ✌Haha yeah that's probably the biggest problem with Nickelback. They have been played so many times that you just don't like them anymore for that reason.

@KennethHOlsen 3 года назад

I love that your generation thinks buying 57 rolls is out of the ordinary. Buy all you can find and empty all the shelves. It will help send the message to film manufactures to keep making film. In my 20's and 30's I would buy around 400 rolls of 36 for a trip to another country. I still have a freezer dedicated to film and buy film by the brick even though I shoot 80 percent digital. Keep film alive! Buy lots and shoot more!

@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel 3 года назад

People even got mad at me in the comments for buying that amount of film. 😅 400Rolls. 😳 That's insane. A film chest that will definitely be on my wish list. 😄 i'm doing my best to convince as many people as possible about film. as you said well, only through sales do you show the companies that film is still alive.

@erichstocker8358 3 года назад

Yes, I was going to comment that your Gold photos were the most unsaturated, pastel colors that I have ever seen come out of Gold especially in sunlight. It was designed as a film targeted to a saturated blue and yellow/gold look in bright sunlight. So, it was interesting to hear that you have a processing technique that in essence desaturates the normal look the film was designed for. It would interesting to hear how your processing does this.

@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel 3 года назад

The first step is to overexpose Gold and meter for the shadows. Then i just scan it with my Fujifilm camera at +1. When i convert it with negative lab pro it just looks like you described. saturated blues and gold colors all over the place. Then i just crank up the exposure. I will explain everything in a future tutorial series. 😄

I started shooting film when I was 11. (1981) Tried many different brands of film and processing labs. Of all the combinations of film and prints I used Kodak film printed on Kodak paper is the most accurate. It looks as good as the day it was printed (some is 35 years old ). None of those prints have shifted colour over time.

Hi Antnie. Based on the images I would say they were exposed at EI100. Also, I would err towards over exposing by one stop and developing at box speed 200.

@rowenajordana6385 3 года назад

Every once in a while I take a trip from The Netherlands to Germany to buy... Kodak Gold. My last trip was 3 weeks ago and it was widely available but when i check out the availability on the website it looks like not a single store in Germany has any Gold stock? Do you think it's coming back? I am a bit scared that DM will stop having this 3pack and film in general in their assortment and that would sadden me for real. Or, at least for these great prices. I know there was a worldwide price increase and 10 euro a pack is still a steal of a deal but.. it was only 7,50 last year so seeing the availability in red everywhere makes me... a bit nervous to be honest.

@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel 3 года назад

The film is guaranteed to come back! Kodak does not permanently produce a film stock but rather one after the other. Now only the current batch is bought up and you have to wait until the next one is sent to germany again. As for price stability, it can be difficult. Rossmann has drastically increased its prices the same can happen in the DM. So when gold is available again grab as many as you can. 😄

thank you ryo! just try kodak gold you will not regret it. I will put all the scanning tips in a video. but the most important thing is use a good lens and a good light.

Hey! Darf ich fragen, woher du die Abdeckung für die M6 hast? Da wo oben der Blitz drauf kann. Und überbelichtest du dein Film 1 Stop?:) Also ISO 100?

@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel 3 года назад

oh hey, die Abdeckugn ist ganz einfach ein billige plastik Blitzschuhabdeckung von Amazon. Ich hab es einfach mit einen Cutter zurechtgeschnitten. 😅 hatte keine Lust irgendwas teures zu kaufen. Ja einfach eine Blende überbelichten und nach den Schatten belichten. 😀

Pretty sure the first roll of film I ever shot that I remember shooting was Kodak gold... In a lomography camera. It was alright but I never thought too much about it. If I had seen this video 6 years ago. Well.

That your first roll was kodak gold is pretty cool.😮 no one in my family was into photography when i was a kid. The only camera i can remember that has film was a mickey mouse camera i got from mcdonals. 😆

@callumleask1053 3 года назад

I still love kodak gold, but it's gone from £4 a roll to nearly £9 a roll locally, which is nearly the price of portra. Lemme know when they come out with 120 kodak gold though and I'll spend twice that 😆

@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel 3 года назад

damn thats expensive. Gold is good but only for a cheap price. 😅 120 Gold would be interesting but only when it cost less than portra.

@slothsarecool 3 года назад

Looks great! How much of that is processing? I always see great Portra photos for example, but every time I try Portra 400 it looks pretty bad, but if it comes down to editing then I suppose any of them would look good

@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel 3 года назад

oh hey, i think with any film it's always the post processing that determines the end result. to me, films are just raw material that you can edit the way you want. That means also a portra can look "bad" or gold can look like portra. First of all, the exposure of the film must be correct. Under-exposure rarely looks good. then it also depends on how you scan the images. there you really only have to get the white balance and brightness right. if you get portra scans from the lab and they don't look good, i would change labs. Otherwise I will make a detailed tutorial in the future how to get good results. 😀

@slothsarecool 3 года назад

@@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel Thanks! I’ve been struggling a bit philosophically with film tones etc haha, it feels like you might as well just use one stock with decent dynamic range and tweak it like digital

@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel 3 года назад

@@slothsarecool from the philosophy i say i do not touch the colors only WB and tones. so the original character remains. I don't do anything with the film that a lab couldn't do. Portra looks different for every photographer. it's just that at some point it was agreed that this bright style is portra. What I want to say. do with the film what you like.

Tolle Bilder, geile Farben! Wie machst du das? Wenn ich Kodak Gold überbelichte, gibt es bei mir unschöne Farbverschiebungen. Zuletzt habe ich nicht mehr überbelichtet, sondern mit ISO 200 fotografiert und mit +1 Push entwickelt. Wie machst du das?

Danke! Also ich belichte nach den Schatten und belichte zusätzlich noch 1 blende über. Damit schließe ich aus das die schatten matschig werden. Kein push oder sonstiges in der Entwicklung.
