Join me in this video on a chill walk as I shoot some film photos (for the first time!) using my Rolleicord.
The Rolleicord is a medium format camera that takes 120mm film as opposed to SLRs that take 35mm film. The main reason someone would shoot with a medium format camera is the larger negative, basically double the size of 35mm film, which means more information in the photograph to play with. It's sort of like having more megapixels which means you retain more details when you crop into the image. Great for portraiture, fashion and commercial photography. Not to say 35mm couldn't be used in these situations either, all up to the brief and the look you're going for at the end of the day!
I used just 1 roll of Kodak Portra 400 (overexposed by two stops) shooting in the afternoon just as the sun was setting, most likely between 5.30 - 6.30pm.
Settings: f/3.5 @ 1/125 -1/60 for most of these.
