Pushing Kodak Vision3 500T Film - Shooting Handheld At Night

IvanYolo Here I go again with my second round of night film photography challenge by pushing Kodak Vision3 500T one-stop and shooting handheld at night. After the success of my first film photography at night, I decided to try something different giving more film speed by pushing Kodak Vision3 500T and using the diffusion filter.I was just wondering what my film photos will look like when pushing Kodak Vision3 500T, combined with one of my favourite FX filters for cinematic film look which is the Moment CineBloom diffusion filter. Previously I pushed the Ilford HP5 Plus 400 and got some excellent results, although it was grainy, it looks great. I can tell that when pushing the Kodak Vision3 500T, the film has high grain tolerance and still looks amazing.Most of the shots for this round are done with available artificial light and neon lights. Yes, I was hunting for neon lights while doing street photography in Kuala Lumpur at night. It was the weekend and the weather condition is good, compared to a few weeks ago it was raining almost every day. Whenever I wanted to go for a shoot, I always follow the photoshoot checklist so my shoot will go smooth.

Is It Fun To Do Night Photography on Film?

Contax G1 // Panggung KL, July 2022 Yes, I can say night photography on the film is fun because it is a big challenge at night to get sufficient light compared to daylight. This is where you get the idea of finding the brightest light at night. Low light photography on the film is not easy, as, with insufficient light, you will be using a low shutter speed and eventually if unlucky, you'll get shaky photos unless you use a tripod. But going for a photo walk, you want to go as light as possible. So a tripod is a no-go.I was photographing in Kuala Lumpur's major tourist areas, Chinatown and Kwai Chai Hong. After recovering from the epidemic, the nightlife in this city is somewhat lively. I had been 'camping' at the location for hours to acquire some photographs and had been circling the area on foot for approximately 4 hours.I was shooting wide aperture with the Contax G1 film camera with the Carl Zeiss Planar 45mm T* F2 lens, and I don't see any shaky images out of the 36 exposures although there were a few underexposed or ruined photos due to incorrect camera settings. I get out of the box, follow no photography rules and was shooting handheld without any tripod. But of course, if you want to get better and brighter photos with accurate exposure, it is recommended to shoot with a tripod because of the low shutter speed.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJAx7wOVjcs

Pushing One Stop on Kodak Motion Picture Film

Contax G1 // Petaling Street, July 2022 Is it worth it by pushing Kodak Vision3 500T at night? For this test it was just a trial and error for me to find out what the photos will look like, after all, it is all up to our taste and mood. I love this series of photos I've captured at night. There is visible grain when zooming or cropping but still acceptable for me. It does look great when you share it on social media such as Instagram,  you won't be able to see the grain not noticeable on a smaller screen. I like the saturated colour when pushing Kodak Vision3 500T one stop underexposed. The film speed for Kodak Vision3 500T is 500 ISO so I set the film camera ISO to 1000 ISO and developed one stop at the film lab. In this series, none of my shots is blurry or shaky throughout the 36 exposures which I was quite happy about.On the Contax G1, I tried to use the exposure compensation to shoot 1/3 stop overexposure (compensate with a lower shutter speed) but I end up not knowing which photos that were shot overexposed. Next time I could try to note it down on my mobile phone.

Does It Work If I Use Diffusion Filter on Film Camera?

Contax G1 // Kwai Chai Hong, July 2022 Previously I didn't get good results shooting using a diffusion filter with the Yashica film camera but I was quite surprised and never expected it to look great on the Contax G1 film camera. It worked and I did get the cinematic highlight bloom and glowing on film stock this time. I was shooting with the CineBloom filter with 20% density. I know some photographers shoot on digital with a diffusion filter but I haven't seen anyone trying to use the filter on film stocks if I'm not mistaken.Feel free to give it a try when you're shooting film stock at night, you'll be surprised!

Final Thoughts

What do you think? Pushing Kodak Vision3 500T or shooting at film speed at night looks better? Well, pushing film stock gives you more film speed but introduced more film grain and look saturated. I prefer shooting at film speed. I suggest when shooting film stock handheld at night to find the brightest area that is well lit with tungsten light or neon lights to avoid handshake or blurry photos.The best solution for night film photography- To shoot with a tripod, use a slower shutter speed and let more light into the lens - Suggested to shoot with a fresh film, non-expired roll - Hunt for the light source. Find well-lit areas with artificial lighting such as tungsten or neon lightsHere are some of the photos I took during my solo photo walk at night with the Contax G1 do check out the photo gallery for more shots.

Fomapan 400: Multiple Exposure Experiment on Film

During my recent street photography session in Kuala Lumpur, I had my first experience shooting and testing Fomapan 400 with double exposure. As the price of Kodak films has increased again in 2023, using black & white film stock seems to be the cheapest solution currently available.This is my second film double exposure project after trying Ilford Delta 100. I am still in the learning process and experimenting with what I want to create, so I cannot shoot creative double exposures as seen in Lomography. Nonetheless, I am surprised by the results of this B&W film photography project, although not everyone may appreciate the artwork through the lens.

I had some failed shots but also some amazing ones in my opinion. This project might be a good source of inspiration for others. I had planned to use this Fomapan 400 film roll while exploring film photography in Bangkok, but unfortunately, I ran out of time. So, I decided to experiment with multiple exposures using this film stock.

About Fomapan 400

It is also a versatile film that can be used for a variety of photographic applications, from landscapes to portraits to action shots. Fomapan 400 is a relatively affordable film stock compared to some of the more well-known brands, making it an excellent choice for photographers on a budget. It is also a great film stock for those who enjoy experimenting with double exposures, as it can produce some striking and unique results.Overall, Fomapan 400 is a highly regarded film stock that offers excellent image quality and versatility, making it a popular choice among many film photographers.

The Beauty of Kuala Lumpur Daily Life: In Black & White

While shooting in a flea market called Pasar Karat in Kuala Lumpur, I stumbled upon a great shot of a stranger that looked natural and beautiful on film. I liked how the natural light illuminated the subject. During the entire street photography session, I was looking for something unusual, and I managed to get a great shot by blending the subject with the surroundings.

Contax G1, Fomapan 400 // February 2023 After moving back to its old location behind Petaling Street in 2023, Pasar Karat seemed to have lifted the spirits of its vendors. They appeared to be in a better mood than usual, and I managed to capture one of my favorite portrait shots with the Fomapan 400. In the past, I had a negative experience there while taking photos in the flea market alley, which affected my mood and productivity for the following months. However, after my trip to Bangkok, my street photography productivity appears to have returned. Pasar Karat is a flea market in the heart of Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The name "Pasar Karat" translates to "rusty market" in English, as the market is known for selling all sorts of used and vintage items, including rusty tools, old coins, and antique furniture. The market has a long history dating back to the early 1980s when it was first established. Initially, it was a popular spot for second-hand goods traders and collectors, but over time it has become a popular tourist attraction for visitors looking for unique souvenirs and a taste of local culture. Pasar Karat is known for its bustling and vibrant atmosphere, with vendors setting up stalls along the narrow alleyways of Chinatown. It is a great place to explore and discover hidden treasures, from vintage cameras and old records to quirky knick-knacks and handmade crafts.

I tried to finish the 36 exposures on the Fomapan 400 film roll during my four-hour walk around Chinatown in KL. However, I found it challenging to come up with ideas as my mind was blank. But as I walked further, some scenes caught my eye, and I managed to capture some great shots.Using my Contax G1 rangefinder film camera for double exposure shots is my favorite. For me, creating artwork using film stocks and painting the streets with my camera is quite fun and unique.

It is great news that you can now get these double exposure photos as wall art prints in high resolution for printing. I did not want to overuse the multiple exposure mode with my Contax G1 as I felt it might wear out the film camera faster.

Final Thoughts

What do you think of this double exposure experiment? Does it inspire you to try double exposure on film? Did you find yourself slowing down while shooting film? Shooting with a film camera is all about enjoying the moment and taking your time, right? There is no need to rush when we shoot film.Thank you for reading about my film photography project. I hope you enjoyed it and are encouraged to try out Fomapan 400 for your next project. Stay tuned for my next project, which will be something different.

Super rare Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f:0.7 lens mounted to work with a Phase One IQ4 digital back. The lens was developed for taking pictures of the dark side of the moon. Now, it's a slick handheld size camera - though the weight of the glass begs for a tripod. A custom helical and special SKG made lens board let it work with the Cambo camera body and digital back. #skgrimes #planar50mm #carlzeisslenses #phaseone #Cambo #darksideofthemoon https://www.instagram.com/p/ChmybqButLe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
