Why is there someone standing on the building at 2:28?
6:44 If my harddrive died on me, i'd be doing and saying more things than "no, no, no…"
i have a Hasselblad H6D 100c🙄😶 and a Leica M10 and Leica Q……i have like 200,000$ invested in both the systems🙂 and i m happy as both companies know what to make ….Nikon, Canon don't……
don't care 'bout the smaller competitors
90s: taking tens of pictures taken with only one turning out good
Today: taking hundreds of pictures with only one turning out good
i took a traditional photography class and i know the pain of doing test strips and then if the contrast isn't good trying out different filters and making 4 more test strips
I'm just so tired of everyone saying "wow, this mirrorless is better than the dslr!" Just because of their differences doesn't mean they are worse.
then: Constantly checking shots left
NOW: Constantly checking Battery Life
Then: Darkroom
Now: Lightroom
Comedic Genius…..THESE guys are Awesome…!!!!
Or use one of those filters where you turn it and it changes 5:19
That last one happened to me once. I had thousands of shots I took and then my computer died on me. It was at that point, I kind a gave up. I also seemed to have misplaced some of my undeveloped film rolls too. Great.
funny intel reference
the original light room made me feel so close to my art
esseware
BRING BACK FILM!!!!
Mirrorless cameras are awesome! thumbs up for mirrorless!
5:38 What a cute moment.
How did you not talk about medium format?
I remember shooting film in highschool. Back then there was only one other person who even had an slr in my area. I was even doing a concept piece for the local rock band using motion blur to show how fast they were playing. I thought it looked cool but everyone else just wrote it off as a blurry photograph not even bothering to notice how everything else was sharp and in focus so it was a let down but oh well. I paid $180 for a minolta maxxum 5 and it took 8 weeks to arrive. Im not sure if all shipping was that slow or if overstock just took their time getting it to me. I dont know what happened to that camera or the canon rebel i got after that but my first digital camera took 640×480 pictures and I got it for $40 at a pawn shop. They never told me it needed a special cable to get photos off the internal memory so the photos are still on it but the battery door broke long ago. Now before the recession I had a d300s and a custom macbook pro with lots of accesories and a nice f2.8 telezoom. After the recession hit though all my gear had to be sold to pay bills and I took a $2000+ loss. U had to start back with a canon sx150 and now finally have a nikon d200 and kit lens but saving up for a canon 80d and some really fast glass. Ive just got a pc now but its what works for the time being. At least I learned a lot I guess. Still doesnt take the sting out of the recession though.

My Dad got a photo published in the Evening Mail or something. He didn't sign anything to say they needed to credit him or anything- dumb on his part since they didn't credit him.
"inwest" lol
06:18 yeap thats me
The darkroom process is so hard right? You need to treat negatives as prints? At that joke, its hare to watch. You're feeding misinformation mates. I get the joke but gah, ugh. its hard to watch up after that.
2:17 who's that girl? :v
A grown man playing a 3ds, slow clap for Lok. lol
i literally can only use M, manual focus with my lenses (nikon ais) did i mention i don't have light metering support?
I still like the darkroom, but haven't been in one in a couple of years. The conversation you both enacted about the test sheet result was sooo accurate to my college days!
