In the early days I thought had a good grasp of photography when I could take some star trail shots or cleverly use a full flash in the correct moment. NOW, in a really weird way, I feel like digital photography was just a way for me to get ready for ACTUAL photography… shooting on film. Digital was absolutely the best way for me to learn because I could make mistakes so quickly. I became intimately familiar with ISO aperture and shutter speed. Now it’s really interesting because my mind kind of makes the picture in the moment and then weeks later I get to see if I was right. There’s something really fun about the technical challenge of it. It’s really awesome.

I come from the Analogue days, and i mainly worked as a concert photographer. I still remember the main thing it taught me. Because you only have 36 shots you have to learn how to "read" WHEN the moment happened BEFORE it happened. There was no spray and pray so you had had to use your senses to see into the future + click exactly when the time was right. Today I have lost that skill because of working digital only.... Another thing is that I was able to read exposure correctly without lightmeeter, I was able to see when to use 1600 ISO, 125 shutter and 2.8 apperture without using the gear.... today I have lost this skill as well because of digital.

@RealThore 4 месяца назад

I am a concert photographer as well and never shot analogue. I'd say that I'm capable of knowing which settings to use 90% of the time but spray and pray is real. When I know a confetti shot is coming I start banging through the shot. 50? 100? Who cares? That's a single digit GB, basically nothing and I can get the best one during editing. I sometimes really wish to go back in time

@dervisher5420 4 месяца назад

Agreed. I've shot both but started with digital SLR when I got more serious and began leaning about light sensitivity. SD cards weren't as limited as film (count wise), even back in in the early 2000s, but they still made you carful. Even working backward with tech, I just began memorizing what worked in the lighting situation and gradually learned. Gives you an appreciation of the time and skill it took those that started with film. Seldom do I need to adjust now unless it's macro... I still manage to misjudge with the outdoor shots and the diffuser's range limits to the subject.

@lavapix 4 месяца назад

Shooting film is a lost art. I'm glad I was able to shoot film starting in the 70s. I started with the Nikon EM and ended film with the Nikon N75 in 2004. When digitizing slides became a thing I had a Minolta scanner and then a Nikon. Between scanning and editing, it took close to 30 minutes per image. Mostly the scanning and cleaning dust spots from an image when the scanner missed cleaning them. The digital age brought lots of unwanted noise to the lava flow outings if I had to be around other people. I remember the first time some guy walked over and set up right next to me and held the shutter button down for what seemed an eternity. I asked him what he planned to do with 1000s of photos from that moment and he replied, oh I'm hoping for 1 good one. Then there are the time-lapse ones that don't use the camera's silent setting. I shoot digital like I shot film. One or two differing exposures and on to the next subject.

@davidself5235 4 месяца назад

I started photography in 1986 and it was all film back then. Now I shoot digital but my picture taking is the same process as it was back then. Get it right in camera and minimal processing post. The only thing I miss in the digital world is the 3 second film wind on where you are taking a pause between shots. No digital equivalent and I miss that.

What about looking forward to trying new brands or new types of film? Finding out that Ilford was from England after being so used to American Kodak and Japanese Fuji. Wondering what Agfa was like but nobody sold it. Reala compared to Fujicolor. Tmax compared to Neopan. TMax compared to Tri-x.

@fcallo 4 месяца назад

Most of these reasons are non-sense or bs. Taking less photos just because it's film? Nah! You can also do that on digital. It's a matter of will, not gear. In fact, there are a lot of photographers (me included) who shoot a lot of pictures on film without thinking, just to get the right shot, just like in digital. The film look? Well yeah, it's unique but it's not ultra hard to get it on digital. Nowadays there are way too many tools to achieve this, whether it's in camera with Fuji or Panasonic or in post with Dehancer and DaVinci Resolve. And yeah, it's very but VERY similar and also it's very hard to notice the difference if you do it correctly. Maybe it's a little more time consuming? yeah, I'll give you that but still you can achieve almost the same look. And if we're talking about sharing it on social media, no one will notice the difference. Better photographer because of the lack of editing film photos? Hmm no. You still have to edit your film photos, especially if you develop and scanned them. If a lab does it for you, it's even harder because you have to be consistent with the lab (same technician, same chemicals, same lab, etc). So you'd still need to do some kind of post-processing to give it the desired look. After all, it's your vision imprinted on it. Other reasons are completely valid but I hate when people try to romanticize film photography just for the sake of it. It's the same craft with different equipment (older in many cases) and different workflow (better or worse, that's your choice)

I truly love this adventure you are on with photography. I had 2 different Pentax digitial cameras that bricked themselves after some time, and this past year I've been playing around with film so much more, and it's made me like a kid again! I love the silly and ridiculous. I have a Diana F that I am OBSESSED WITH (it's a toy...seriously). I do plan on getting another digital at some point, but I really adore the organic feeling of film. I don't mind artifacts, I don't mind imperfections, I don't mind the not perfectly framed shot. I laugh at the out of focuses when I'm learning a new camera. I think you should always try and follow the joy. Love your work as always Sweetie Petey 💖

@normk58 4 месяца назад

I learned photography starting in the early '70s. Digital was rectal exam back then. I had a darkroom in my parent's basement, and I loaded my own bulk film. I have no idea how many rolls of Tri-X I shot. There was no auto-focus or auto-metering. I started with a Yashica rangefinder my father gave me when he upgraded to an SLR. I bought the Olympus OM-1 when it came out and used that for many years. I still have it and it still works perfectly. The big advantage to learning photography by shooting film is learning to compose in the camera. As a result, I still compose in camera and rarely crop anything other than wildlife photos. I still shoot film, and I especially like the Bronica 2S I bought a few years ago. I have to externally meter the light, and the square format really makes me think about the composition. I develop my B&W film at home and scan the negatives into LRC. I send color film to the Darkroom in CA. Shooting film these days is my way of getting back to my roots. It slows me down and makes me really pay attention to what I'm doing. I love it.

Maybe I'm just the new-age type of person the film community dislikes - but film shooting is so overrated to me. I think all of your previous digital work has been much more inspiring than the film era, tbh. With digital, you're pushing your limits to how great you can be. With film, you're reverting yourself back and then being satisfied with a simple photograph that has "portra" color.

@DS-ke8pq 4 месяца назад

That’s a heartfelt review of the pros and cons, and interesting to see this from the perspective of the digital generation - I’d guess I can say I shot film for 25 years & digital for the last 25 years. A couple of things I’d share. My first SLR (ST605N) survived plenty backpacking trips and still works, needed “dehumidifying” after some trips. Learning incident light metering was a major qualitative improvement for getting really accurate exposures - but in body metering was steadily improving at the time so later bodies were better - last one was a late stage Pentax - autofocus, autowind, auto exposure- pretty impressive- but sadly failed recent. I’d still love to shoot a few roles of Kodachrome 25 on a landscape photography shoot - silky smooth, but I’m still appreciating the digital benefits as the failure rate in film remained so challenging.

I found a more artistic feel with film shooting. There are a few other comments here about being able to get the same feeling from a digital camera and I agree but to do this, test yourself by locking into a single ISO and limiting to shutter speed and aperture changes only. Also I love that Petes film experiment involves a Leica M6, Mamiya 7ii, Contax T3, Pentax 67 and Mamiya RZ. The first 3 are the most premium of what they are designed to do.

You learned that you needed to generate RU-vid views so you bought some film.

Since when film generates that many views? He could safely keep doing his old content and have many more.

I used your learning film as a blueprint for my own improvement. I still hope to shoot film now and again in the future but I did apply it to my digital work. I’ve slowed down, I compose more, I try as hard as I can to nail things in camera, even my editing has improved in the things I prioritize. Sometimes it’s subtle, sometimes it’s elaborate but it’s always intentional. I’m not just taking but making photos and I’m stoked on that. Thanks for documenting the journey and providing some much needed inspiration 🙏🏾

Love this! I started shooting film a little over a year ago. I’m fortunate enough to shoot for work but in that can get creatively drained at times. Film helped me get excited to shoot and be more engaged in my personal creativity. I find myself only really wanting to shoot film when it comes to shooting for myself. The slower process and anticipation of getting scans back makes it fun. The limitations that come with film have def helped strengthen my skills and move out of habits that I’ve built with the crutches of a digital camera. Thanks for continuing to inspire and show that growth and learning is always a part of the process!

That sun through the curtains shot is wonderful. I love that the patience produced it and not any processing; photography not a generated image!

Interesting take on it. For the cons, are you looking at it strictly from the perspective of travel photography? Reason I ask is because the film development and scanning part only seems like an obstacle on the road. The airports would be an obvious nightmare as you explained, but if you were shooting locally to expand or refine skills using film, it's not overly hard to develop. Travel also makes planning around weather a lot more difficult too as opposed to home. The film photography definitely hones skills/memorization with lighting and the right film for a scenarios/scene, along with taking the time to compose/plan shots (as opposed to endless digital approaches and choosing the best after the fact). Not being able to get an immediate response to what you've taken makes for a timed delayed learning process, which helps with remembering what you did right (or wrong). Would you say from a professional standpoint that it might be worth while to also bring a film camera to a workspace, either for your own experience or if the client seems interested in having a more unique keepsake along with the digital work?

I started off the shooting film, and it does make you a better photographer. Great video, thanks for sharing.

I've been following you pretty much since the beginning, this year the content that you put out - at times I found difficult to connect to. but after this vid I think I understand more about the process you've gone through in the art. I might need to go back and see your vids through this new perspective.

@garethdwatkins 4 месяца назад

A couple of points come to mind.. I'm guessing when/if you go back to digital, you will shoot less too.. I don't shoot as many pictures as I see some people shooting... Second point, you are missing half the whole analogue experience if you don't develop and print your own pictures. Like we did, back in the day, start with b&w and then try C41, it's more complex but possible, I have made colour prints in a hotel bathroom, for example. B&W is certainly the most rewarding way to get into processing your own.. And getting good at making prints is part of being a film photographer..

I left Photography Professionally 2 years back! For uncertain circumstances after doing it for almost a decade! but, after watching this video (also saw your any video after a really long time) and now! I think i should get back to it a little bit, even though I don’t have any camera right now! But i should get back to it Atleast to fulfill my soul somehow ❤ thanks for being an inspiration always pete! ✨ BRAVO 👏🏻

@jackehaus265 4 месяца назад

What you said at the end resonated with me. I'm studying film at college right now but also considering photography as a career beyond that. But what I think I'm gonna do now is focus full in on film. Like you said, I can't just split myself, I gotta go all in, and film is my major that I know I wan't so I'm gonna go for it harder. I'll still do photography on the side (I have a film camera now which is awesome!!) but I'm gonna have to do it less i think. Thanks for the wisdom man, I'm loving following along with all this!!

A lot of digital photographers dont realize you dont actually need that 128+GB memory card to hold thousands of photos. Wanna slow down? 8-32GB. RAW+JPEG. Work with that.

@jasonklemp7209 4 месяца назад

Film is genuinely the best step I’ve ever taken in photography, such an important medium and more new photographers should give it a shot you learn so much

I'm not sure I will ever find myself trying film photography, however I'm extremely inspired by what you've done over the last year and the overall message of this video!
