Film Camera Review – The Olympus OM-1
The Olympus OM-1, honestly one of the funnest cameras I’ve ever shot with. Fully mechanical, but does have a built in light meter, and the image quality from those F. Zuiko lenses… I hope you enjoy the video. ShootsWithCoops channel on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe8terlLTGYbURLRun1KoPg
Film Photography: My Thoughts After Shooting Film for a Year
It’s been a year since I’ve been shooting with film and I wanted to share my thoughts on the whole film experience. Hopefully you’ll find this helpful/useful if you’re thinking about doing some film photography. Fim photographers I referenced in the video: (depending on where you work or your personal preferences, some of the images …
ACROS vs ACROS : Film vs Digital
I’ve wanted to do a comparison video for a while now, comparing the Fujifilm ACROS film simulation with the actual Neopan 100 ACROS film. This is that video. It’s not a debate between which is better, digital or film, that’s subjective and up to each person to make up their own mind on which is …

Fuji XF 35mm f1.4 vs 35mm f2 – The Bokeh Test
There’s still some confusion for photographers that are looking to buy one of these 35mm lenses from Fujifilm. On paper, just based on the specs the f1.4 version seems like it would be the clear winner. But specs aren’t everything. I hope this video gives you the kind of information you need to help you …
Leica M6 & Shooting Film – Taking a Step Back to Move Forward
When I switched to shooting Fuji cameras last year I noticed it brought about distinct changes in my shooting style. Because of aperture rings and shutter speed and ISO dials, the tactile connection the cameras offered in having full manual control over the exposure, it made me want to slow down in my process of …
Photo Shoot with Seth Grabel
Had a fun photo shoot last week with a friend of mine, Seth Grabel. Seth is a great magician here, based out of Vegas. We just wanted to get some casual head shots and some candids of Seth at his warehouse. Thought a video would be nice to kind of describe the shoot and show …
