Short Stories - Story Behind "Birds In Flight"
Happy New Year!!
Kicking the year off with a new series on the channel entitled "Short Stories."
This episode is all about the "Birds In Flight" image I made back in 2016 on the Minolta AFS-V. The image comes with a humorous story, and a bit of background as to how it helped to catapult me forward in my photographic career and interaction with the community.
As a bonus I also share the story of how I got trapped in an elevator for 25 minutes while filming some b-roll for the video.

Making More Engaging Work and Moving Beyond The Snapshot
Hey, I’m so glad to hear you guys are of faith!!
@@ordinary.american.beauty thank you! Very much so.
I want to buy titanium cover for Leica CL... i saw it in real life. It look amazing but hartd to find it.... even person who own it said that it was custom... PS: sorry for my english... still learning.
I hope you’re able to find one. I have not seen one of those before.
What other tool or service can you use to make a zine that doesn't seem to have as steep of a learning curve and can accomplish the same flexibility in layouts?
Now days I would say Canva is a very easy to use and viable option
thanks a lot for guiding to the right direction
Glad you found it helpful!!
Great video, thank you. It helped me with my project for this semester.
I’m so glad to hear that! Glad it was beneficial for you. Thank you for sharing.
nice composition skills, the Kiev 60 is super underrated!
Video @ 2:10 "he just turns things around so fast" - Yeah, and any skilled technician can tell - The Leica trained true-techs like Don @ DAG, Gus @ TLC Camera Repair and Sherry at Golden Touch, ALL state that the Leica owners who know & expect Rolls Royce quality, eventually end up sending their REDO Youxin Ye cameras to these true USA technicians for correction & proper sanitizing...
That could very well be true. But from my experience on many a CLA and repair with Youxin his work has stood for itself.
I particularly liked the first photograph of the street sign shadow bending around the corner of a building. I JUST got my dad to part with his CL that he got in 1976. I’m looking forward to putting some film through it.
How wonderful! I’m sure you will enjoy it. If I were to make the video again today I would take a more pleased route toward the CL. It really is a great camera.
Amazing video! Just wanted to know how did you design the cover page and how you get the rounded edges on the pages?
The company I went through for printing was able to die cut the rounded corners. The cover design was done in photoshop if I remember correctly. It’s been a while. Glad you found the video helpful
Thank you for this
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
how did u push 2 stops on the kiev, it goes up until 400 iso on the dial
I meter by eye not off the meter in the camera, so I can manipulate exposure to be consistent with 1600 iso rather than 400 iso. Gives me faster shutter speed and more depth of field to work with. Plus the contrast and grain addition that comes when pushing film stocks. All of which is to my visual preference. Hope that helps.
Amazing, Nick! Thank you for sharing actual knowledge! So fair, real and honest 🙏🏻
I’m happy it’s served you well
Man, for serious scanning you should definitely stick to smaller apertures. Sorry to say.
If you hit your focus correctly it wont matter if youre at f4 or f22 the plane of film will not be any more in focus either way. You can expand that focus plane as much as you want and it wont change anything with the film strip being so thin.
@@NickExposed i mean softness on the edges
@@zarrir definitely depends on the lens. Ideally yes get a bright enough light table and scan at f8-f16 to utilize the full capacity of the optics you are working with. With my setup at f4-f5.6 I don’t notice any issues at the edges.
So helpful!
I’m so glad to hear that!
Nick, I think you are sharing some very powerful information and beautiful ethical leadership. Thank you for your wonderful communication skills and you’re down to earth way of being.
What a great comment. Thank you! So happy to know the videos are serving the community still a few years later!
Current wait time is about 5 months. If the customer doesn't wish to wait, he will do an expedited service with turnaround less than one week, but the expedited fee is at a 30% premium.
His services are still worth it
I will do whatever the hell I want, if I find a mint Nikon F2 and purchase it with my money, take it out to the back yard and smash it with a hammer,, Thats my business !
That’s wonderful. I hope you enjoy that.
Please get to the point good information just two slow like watching paint dry
What can I say, I like to hear myself talk. Thanks for enduring the the video. Hopefully you found helpful info among the torrent of fluff and prattle. Cheers
Thank you for the video! I'm thinking about buying a bulk loader but can''t decide between Lloyd's and AP device. The letter one is more expensive, but people say it's less fragile.
I prefer the Lloyd’s for sure. You can’t go wrong either way though. Plenty of people using both.
I tried lookiing at my local printing places in the capital region of New York to have my zines printed and the prices were outrageous!!! I would have had to charge $100 for a zine, that's ridiculous....So I went with Blurb and Magcloud because their prices were much lower than what I had around here.....
Did you ask them to print a Zine or a staple bound booklet? That makes a big difference.
@@NickExposed I asked for a zine... It's the only place in my area that develops film, and does photo printing and photo books....
@@RobertCooperTheGallery when going through print shops always ask for a stable bound booklet. Zine language tends to up the charge despite them being the same thing.
Super simple. Right. 🙄🤔😳
As simple as I could make it 😅 to be fair InDesign is not necessarily a simple program, but it is effective. So I tried my best.
I am totally fresh and new to this. Once I put it together though, what about selling it? Does your series go through any of those options?
I do have a playlist on the channel entitled how to sell your photography that should help out a bit. It was geared toward selling prints, but the concepts apply just the same to zines. Hope that helps
I didn’t know a Leica dented so easily and scraped
The brass can dent pretty easy but absorbs the shock of a fall real well
Mines came back from Leica repair in no with scratches and the cap and hood messed up unusable so the manager won’t call me back when I called back when I sent photos of the damages BUTT when I finally threaten to call Leica Germany he contacted immediately ,lol,lol
That was through Leica themselves? That’s surprising
The scans look nice, but it would have been really interesting to know how you developped it, and to see the negatives, and even better, some prints :) EDIT: just realized you had another video explaining how you exposed and developed (but still no negs or prints ^^)
Limited darkroom accessibility in a small apartment meant I had to save my darkroom time for my exhibition work. Fair point on showing the negatives. Thanks for the input
@@NickExposed not saying this to be a film snob BTW. I don't think everyone wants to wet print and it's fine. In the darkroom, negatives don't lie ahah.
what paper did you use?
For my first zine I used a satin finish paper. Not sure the weight of it at this point it’s been many years. For my second zine I had them use just standard copy paper to go with the overall intent of the zine to look like a notebook. Hope that helps.
thank you! your work is amazing@@NickExposed
@@catarinaqueiroz6855 thank you so much! Very encouraging to hear!
Amazing story! I loved it.. Hah!!
Thank you so much, Erik!
What program do you recommend using for designing the zine?
indesign was my program of choice. I have a video describing my simple process ruclips.net/video/-xp3DVhld6o/видео.html
any tip on diy saddle stitching? got 34 spreads
If you are doing just staple bound they make booklet staplers that would work well with 17 sheets. Otherwise, if you are truly stitching then getting some good leatherworking stitching tools would set you up well. They don't have to be expensive, just proper tools. Find a heavy gauge thread in the color you like and experiment with a couple different stitching patterns to see which one suits your project best. A video like this could help you out ruclips.net/video/aWHkY5jOoqM/видео.html
Hey! First day with indesign here, would you share your rules or the how to, I'm kinda struggling with this step..? Thanks a lot
Unfortunately I’m not versed in indesign enough to give you any help here.
@@NickExposed thanks
You look like Will Sasso lost weight and grew hair. Anybody tell you that? It’s not an insult, just saying, it’s very interesting.
Haha that’s one I’ve never heard before! I’ll take it!
Love these tips Nick !!! As for print shops people some examples are FedEx Office, The UPS Store, Staples, Office Depot, Office Max…I know for sure The UPS Store and FedEx Office can do it ….. every place that can print your stuff may not necessarily have “print shop” in the name.
That’s a great point! Thanks for sharing! And thanks for the kind words
A tad too grainy for my taste, but really nice pictures.
It’s not for everyone. Thank you for the kind words though!
It’s been 4yrs is any of this current
Hey Reuben, it should all still be very relevant. Finding a local shop and asking for a small run of staple-bound booklets should still be the cheapest way to go 80% of the time. Plus, it has extra benefits like print proofs, connection to the employees, no shipping fees, etc. Hope that helps
This is huge help as I'm creating my very first zine! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this 😊
I’m very happy it’s helped! Good luck on the project. Congrats on moving forward with your first zine!
Great Stuff!!!
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
and now that same box of film is $116 🥲
I know it. Aren’t the prices tragic these days.
The Canon New F-1 are my all time analog 35mm Camera !
I do miss mine. It’s a great tank of a camera!
@@NickExposed I still have two, though I never use them any more
@@cameraprepper7938 how great to still have them!! You should break one out and put a roll through it. Would be a great joy!
@@NickExposed No, I will never ever use analog film again, because of all the chemicals, but I do handle my old Cameras now and then for fun and nostalgia, I wish that there was new Cameras today in the quality as the Canon New F-1
@@cameraprepper7938 I can understand that. It’s nice to have them to handle every now and then I suppose. How great would it be if someone started putting out digital backs for these old work horses.
I watched this only to find out that it's basically impossible to find 100ft bulk rolls of my favorite C41 color films, it seems only black and white film comes in bulk. Oh, and apparently Fuji shut down their plant, and there goes the only "consumer" grade film I actually like, Superia Xtra 400.
It is very unfortunate how the industry has declined since my making this video.
fuckin great video helped me make my first pretty easily thank u man
Happy you find it helpful!
Prices is very different in so many countries unfortunatley. In Sweden it's nearly impossible to get a normal price
Yea I can imagine different regions carry different pricing or scarcity. Hopefully as you hunt around you might find a good option.
Dude, love the video. Thanks for sharing stories and hyping up excitement for my first upcoming zin, oi.. Love your approaches and looking forward to catch up all the episodes 🫶
Thank you for the kind words! Im glad the video has helped you out!!
"Indie" for "Indie-sign"
Is there an online service that would print this after?
there are many to be chosen from, and a quick google search would give you a very large selection to choose from, however I would suggest going through a local print shop if you can, because it will give you more control over the printing process, and most likely a better cost. I have another video on the channel that is all about this subject as well, where to print your zine at. Hope that helps
Hey! Super helpful video, it got me started in InDesign for my first big zine. I have a question though, what if I only want the bleed to show up with the cutting marks, but WITHOUT that extra white border? Can't seem to figure that one out.
Unfortunately I am not very well versed, I simply know enough to get my projects done 😅. I hope you might be able to find another video helping you in this area.
Omg. This is so touching! The amount of love, respect and appreciation you both have for eachother! This truly is special. Thanks for sharing, I got inspired too.
Love this. Hope I will find my soulmate too!
Nice! I really like Fomapan 400. Just got my first roll of it printed directly to paper. It is contrasty, what I wanted. I like your photos, you have a great eye, especially for light and contrasts and composition. Some really cool abstract photos too.
Thank you so much! And yes, its beautifully contrasty!
Youxin just finished a CLA on my M3. Beautiful job he did! At this moment, his turnaround time is about 4 months, but worth the wait.
He's still one of the best in the industry. I still send equipment to him every year for service.
ótimo vídeo. obrigado
