Kodak Portra

Amazing video, as usual!

What was the video shot on, the Sony? Amazing shots of video and film!

If that intro is reality of owning medium format camera with porta 400 by your left hand I want one please!

is there a term for porta ''you metered it brown''? sometimes it pops in my head, that there should be Xd

dude, it's alright, I didn't notice anything, buttt the video was so satisfing and calming to watch because of the perfect quality, thank you for making this.

Well, that's life😃! Way to go!

what lens are you using? nice photos btw!

Your pictures are AMAZING ! 😮

Good God! Where are the people? Portra, as its name implies, was designed for portrait (and wedding) photography. Everything on this video, including the video itself, looks about a stop overexposed. Flat landscapes can work, but these really don't. And by the way, it is impossible to fire the shutter on a Mamiya 645 with the darkslide in, unless the camera is broken. I used one for years.

Looks like a nice life you've been living man, glad to see you killing it!

Just discovered you and i am falling in love ! Thank men, you are an inspiration. Oh and a question : I own a olympus om2n for about 3 years and i am considering to buy a canon eos 3. Do you think its a good idea ? I am a student (in langages) so i dont have a lot of money but is the gap between this two camera very big ?
Again love you men and keep going !!

the production quality and the content is just so good! i can tell how much time you put into these. great video cody!!

This guy is so under rated he has pro quality vids and awsome photo style keep up the work

Love this video 🤟

Hey Cody! Loved the video! I really like your style of film photography. I'm really new to film and I was wondering if you are exposing for shadows or do you just take an overall meter of the scene and expose for that?

The trampoline picture is so cool! Definitely going to use that one as inspo!

Just got my first medium format last month and half of the time during my first three rolls, I'd leave my dark slide on and forget to take them off. Haha! I feel your struggle. Awesome video! Thank you for the value you've put into these stuff. More power.

are those DK drum samples in the intro??

Bro, i love your video's color, i have a7s3 too, how i achieve those color to my video ?! Love to hear from you.

You are so talented ❤

In terms of the professional stocks from Kodak, Ektar 100 is still around. While it’s not neutral and has some color casts and quirks, it’s the finest color negative film shock around and it’s perfect for the type of work you love to do, landscapes. While it’s funny that Kodak labeled it “professional” when it’s only because it’s now available in 120, Gold 200 in 120 is amazing. More saturated, but much more flexible than Ektar or it’s 35mm version since it seems to be a bit different. Gold is my favorite, and hip hip hooray because it’s still very affordable (might not be the case for too much longer)

What about Ektar? That’s a professional C-41 for landscapes

That is dedication if I've ever seen it

Dude! What kind oh hat are you wearing in the video? The one with the yellow circle

I have a question. Is kodak 160 compatible if i use the reusable camera film? Like kodak cam or something similar

Great video. As someone else already suggested, your camera may need to be serviced. Seems odd that a medium format camera would allow the shutter to be released when the dark slide is in.

Ektar is technically a professional stock

Excellent video and a lot of great shots taken! Keep it up bud!

Beautiful.

There's something really charming about going back to shoot all of these shots. I thought the lighting didn't quite match up and it all makes sense now!

Love this series! Thank you for this, and I hope these stock overviews keep coming. Especially admire the dedication to return and salvage the concept from the darkslide abyss (Mamiya SLR probs, amirite?). Just a heads up, I went to see if one of the images from this was in your linked print shop, but the link in the description is being redirected to a Darkroom login page.

...and that's the reason I avoid cameras that contain a dark slide like a plague...

Hey Cody, also just picked up a Mamiya 645 Super and on my model it doesn’t let me fire with the dark slide in. So not sure if you also have the Super or maybe the Pro or another Model and it’s different there. But it could also be that either the camera or film back has something going on. Not being able to fire with the dark slide in has already saved me several times.
But besides that, I’m truly blown away by your videos. The production and dedication is next level!

I have a few rolls of Elektra gpx 160, 160VC and NC... still too scared to use them. They need to be honoured. Ill wait a month or two... untill theyre completely expired haha.

And may I say.. at risk of sacrilege. you are getting close to the Anthony Bourdain of film photography. Great stuff bro..

This is what me and Cody criticize about digital photography. You can't get Grainy shots at sunset with a digital camera. Just translates to digitization. Same goes with scanning and enlarging a photo with a digital scanner. You get digitization if you stretch it versus a clear image with a traditional photo enlarger. You get clarity. If you want to get grainy shots on portra 400. Just over expose at the 60th and 30th of a second and you have great contrast with beauo colors.

Great and informative video as always...what light meter do you use?? I just picked up a m645, need more then sunny 16...or carry my digital...thx

I have a 645 and it will not let me release the shutter if the dark slide is in place. Thanks for the great video. I really enjoyed it. I wonder why your setup allowed you to shoot those images with the slide in place?

I really enjoyed this video. And you take beautiful videos. I enjoyed taking the journey with you.

Beautiful video

My Hasselblad 503cx will not let you take a picture with the dark slide in or take the film back off when the dark slide is out. Kinda of handy.. GRINS

The good news is you had a chance to recompose with the van where you wanted it. :P

its beautiful

So good colors

Why does every photography review have this Muzak that sounds like electronica they play in the elevator of the W Hotel? They ALL have it. Can’t somebody break away from this groupthink?

That intro though!💯
