膠片攝影 在德國和波蘭用膠片旅行攝影

Hey everyone, in today's video we are in Germany. Today we are going to be doing both digital and film photography. We are going to be doing some landscape photography and some like cityscape kind of nature film photography as well. So we got here from South Tyrol in Italy. If you haven't watched that video yet, I'll leave a link down below. I did a lot of landscape photography in Italy. How long was the drive from Italy? It wasn't that much. Four hours? Oh, this is pretty. So it took about two hours to drive from South Tyrol to Kempten. So we were there for a couple of days because we wanted to go and see a castle which was amazing. There are a couple of different ways to get up to this castle in the Black Forest region of Germany. And we opted to go the quick way which was a pretty uphill hike through the forest. We ended up taking the paved way down when we were leaving later which made us realize the forest way was a huge shortcut to get up to the castle. So I'm really glad we took that path. But we made it. Here is Neuschwanstein Castle. It is so, so beautiful. This is so cool. I feel like we've been both blessed and cursed with the weather on this trip. It's either like stormy, foggy, super rainy and like dark and cloudy or it's just been like perfect weather but there's not a single cloud in the sky which I feel like would make this look a little bit more interesting. It wasn't just a flat sky. But yeah, at least it's not raining, right? I took a fairly even amount of digital and film photos at this spot mostly because there wasn't too many things I could try with my composition due to the limited room I had to move around. But here are some of my favorite film and digital photos. Unless we wait for like stars to come up but that takes forever. So let's go. Yay, I'm so glad we saw this today. It's hard to decide what's the center of the castle because you've got like the main everything attached to the castle. Which is Paya? But then there's some trees and then there's an extra Paya on the end. Paya. Paya, I said Paya. Paya. Not Paya, it's not a pie. So I've been shooting two sets of photos and then you know when you can see things better on a computer then I'll decide which is the center shot. All right, do you want to go? I don't recommend spinning around. I know I would move around more but the bridge is very rickety. Stand where? No, over there, I'll show you later. Like on a scale of things that I partially don't feel comfortable doing. Yeah, that's nice. This is extremely high on the way. Stop, now it gets really wobbly. Oh, we didn't get a selfie shot. We're going back, we're not done. See, we're never done. Wait, um. Yeah, you. Like that. We ended up taking the paved way back because it was safer now that it's blue hour and darker and we got to walk around the base of the castle. It is such an amazing castle and there was barely anyone there. You can see in the distance this amazing looking lake and another castle. I would love to come back here again and spend more time exploring this area. Since it is the middle of summer, there was zero accommodation left for us to stay here any longer, unfortunately. So we did all the sightseeing we could on the day we did have. You scared me. You look better than us. If you don't want to bring your camera, you can just buy a pre-made photo of any season. So I could buy a winter one. And right now we are walking around the Botanic Gardens. So yesterday was Sunday when we were in Munich. And we walked around the city and took some photos. But because it's Sunday, all of the shopping was closed. And today, Monday, it's a public holiday. And the Botanic Gardens are pretty much the only thing open to be able to do something. Neuschwanstein Castle to Munich is a quick one and a half hour drive. And we spent the day in Munich doing some sightseeing. I really enjoy walking around with a camera without any real expectation of what kind of photos I'm going to get. If you're feeling uninspired or unsure of what to take photos of, I can highly recommend you try this to get inspired again. One of my favourite things we did was walk 300 steps to the top of St. Peter's Church to see the city from above. So I think I overpacked film for this trip. I haven't even shot half of what I brought yet. So I thought today while we're here at the Botanic Gardens, I'm going to try and shoot this entire roll of Kodak Gold 200, which should be okay because it is only 26 photos rather than 36. So let's see how we go. The first thing I want to take a photo of is that there's these cool like greenhouse structures. There's one in the bright sun and one that's kind of like dappled backlit. So let's go start there. I actually completely forget there's an infinity function. So if you want to have something in the foreground that's blurry and for the camera to focus on the background like for sure, you put it on infinity. And right here, I've got some cool purple flowers in the foreground. So I wanted to focus on the building rather than the flowers. I think it would be nice. Can I take a photo of you walking up the stairs? These don't look real. It's so colorful. This is so pretty. I don't know which one to do. We walk through the many greenhouses the Munich Botanical Gardens has and they are all so stunning. I absolutely love glass houses and always make the effort to visit them if they're in the country I'm traveling to. I developed and scanned all this film myself. I really enjoy the process of developing. It's fun and easier than you might expect if you've never done it before. I have a little box with all my chemicals and I set up my laundry as the space to develop. Usually I like to wait until I have a handful of rolls so I can develop one after another. Then for scanning, I use my camera to scan rather than an actual scanner. I find using a camera is easier and quicker for me and I also prefer the results. I use my Sony a7IV with the Sony 100mm f2.8 macro lens. This door is really nicely framed by both these trees and the staircase leading up to it. Ladies and gentlemen, the garden closes in 5 minutes. We thank you for your visit and wish you a pleasant journey home. I want to see them with my own eyes and because I'm a photographer I may as well take a photo of them as well. And something that I like to do is I do try and make those landscape photos my own by incorporating like a person, myself or Dan or finding a cool angle to shoot from putting something in the foreground of the photo. It's very awkward but the background's really nice. Just tell me if someone's gonna walk past. And I feel like even though it's a landscape that we've seen many times before through lots of people's lenses in the past I feel like adding that little flare just kind of makes it your own. I feel like at the end of the day throughout this entire series which I'll leave linked in a playlist down in the comments below our whole road trip around Europe it's that all these landscapes whether it's a famous one or a little bit famous or something completely new that I found on my own like on the side of the road I feel like it's just fun photographing these places and sometimes I want to get like a general shot sometimes I want to try and make it a little bit more interesting. The end of the day I'm just enjoying taking these photos and I think they're fun. Last but not least after this mammoth road trip we started in Gdańsk made our way to Poznań then Prague then we headed through Austria to reach Slovenia drove through Austria for a moment to make it to Italy then found ourselves in Germany Munich, Wrocław and finally drove 5 hours to get back to Gdańsk, Poland. In case you don't know Dan is Polish he has lots of family in Poland so we usually like to visit and spend some time with them. Here are some clips and photos we took on our very last day in Poland. We decided to explore Gdańsk during blue hour. It's so crazy that we started off this trip in the middle of the summer heat and here I am wearing so many layers because it's getting pretty cold. Back to my process of developing my own film. Once I've scanned all the film with my camera I then like to use Negative Lab Pro to process my negatives in Lightroom. It's a plugin for Lightroom so it's really easy being able to use all the sliders in the plugin to adjust the colours and the tone the way I want the photo to look. I'm planning on making a video about this whole process soon so please let me know if you have any questions about it. I'll leave the rest of the vlogs from this big road trip in the description in case you missed watching any of them. But I really hope you enjoyed this series. I have more travel vlogs coming up really soon as well which I'm so excited to share with you all. But as always thank you so so much for watching. I make new videos every single week so I'll see you all next time. Bye!
