The LomoChrome films are super underrated in my opinion. Because of their unique responses to different wavelengths of light, the resulting images can be incredibly surprising. This video documents three rolls of medium format film from November 2023 to May 2024 - 2 rolls of Lomo Purple and 1 roll of Lomo Turquoise. If you’re interested in film photography or these unusual colors, then I hope these film scans inspire you to try these films out for yourself.

I love the way you use the color shifts for subtle creative reasons. Too many RU-vid reviewers attempt to be merely wierd, then complain that the film has limited usefulness. Sure, it is limited when you restrict yourself to just producing strange colors. I much prefer the way you are using the films.

I love the compositions and exceptional metering!. I wonder what film speed you meter at

@jonmerrittphoto 11 дней назад

@@epadif thank you! I went with 200 ISO for both films. For night scenes, it is very important to meter in the shadows or at least double the exposure time.

Thanks so much! Working on the next one as we speak.

Using these at night is such an amazing idea, its less off-putting and a far more subtle effect.

@jonmerrittphoto 2 месяца назад

Thank you! I’ve seen some inspiring night results with these films. Definitely a lot of potential still there!

@mariopiper9256 2 месяца назад

Great video and photos on these awesome film stocks. Lomo Turquoise is my fave. I love the street light photos and other night photos in turquoise. You gave me some ideas!

@jonmerrittphoto 2 месяца назад

Thank you!! Yeah out of these two film stocks I think I do like Lomo Turquoise a bit more. And go for it with nighttime!

@jchrproductions 2 месяца назад

Stumbled upon this channel and am amazed by this video, really changed my perspective on those stocks!

I’m glad! There’s a ton of untapped potential with these two films.

Jon - another awesome video. The images are so beautiful and alien - keep it up. Maybe we will have to get you out to shoot the park at night haha

@jonmerrittphoto 2 месяца назад

Alien is a good way to describe the color potential with these films. And thanks so much! And oh man, what an opportunity that would be..

@HingLaw 2 месяца назад

Thanks very much for a very interesting, on top of eye opening, video on LomoChrome, which in turn is something I only first heard of. Though I haven't shot a roll of film in the past 20 years, probably LomoChrome could be a reason to pick up a film camera. Just curious how development would be like. Same Kodak C-41 as the other color negatives?

@jonmerrittphoto 2 месяца назад

Yep just C-41 development. And Lomo Purple has a green base, so don’t be alarmed by how the negatives look. Thanks for watching!

@HikingwiththeBlindBoomer 25 дней назад

You can use the focus of the camera to determine distance without resorting to foorsteps. Why do you close the viewfinder before taking the shot?

@jonmerrittphoto 25 дней назад

@@HikingwiththeBlindBoomer Sadly the viewfinder calibration is off on this old Bronica S2. So I have to zone focus for the time being. And I close the viewfinder mostly out of habit. With super long exposures and a strong overhead light, light leaks seem to happen.

@naosVideos 2 месяца назад

Why zone focus when you’re using an slr camera? Great photos!

@jonmerrittphoto 2 месяца назад

Thank you!! The Bronica S2 is notoriously hard to focus with sadly. The viewfinder is pretty dark, not nearly as bright as some 35mm SLRs. And because it’s such an old camera the prism-mirror calibration is off. So if I focused normally, my actual focus would not be where I see it.
