Our guest is The Old Camera Guy, David Mihaly. If you haven’t heard of David check out his YouTube channel “The Old Camera Guy” where you can see all sorts of camera reviews, landscape photos of rural Ohio and portraits too!
This episode we catch up on what we did this week… Larry’s going in circles, Jake’s still dealing with lingering issues from the building fire earlier in the year, Sherry was out exploring on the weekend (with her camera) and David hit the Beers and Camera in Columbus.
David tells us about starting a YouTube channel and advice to starting one, just do it! The gear isn’t important, find some engaging content and just be you! Start simple and let it grow naturally. You can find David’s channel The Old Camera Guy here. Portraits with Lomo Purple? Yup! Cheap Film Photos? Yup! Shooting with a Kodak Brownie? Yup!!! Plus so much more… wait, that’s from a 90’s infomercial. However… some of David’s favourites are from that era. He also discusses some of his favourite films, bulk rolling and film development.
Larry asked David what draws him to small town America and how he can capture it so beautifully. Tune in to hear his answer.
Reflex Lab is sending David a Mini Flash to test out… we look forward to seeing this video. He says this is out of his comfort zone with flash and is looking forward to it’s arrival. You can find David on social media and YouTube as The Old Camera Guy.
Sacha’s Question of the Week:
With Drones, taking pictures of otherwise inaccessible vantage points, our level of access to shooting the world has grown substantially. If you could fly and take a picture from any angle, what would your dream picture be? Login to our FB group Embrace The Grain Photography Group to share your answer!
Larry’s Camera Review of the Week:
This episode Larry shares his thoughts on the Lomo Instant Camera… the history and birth of Instax, but as Larry says the Fuji Instax looks like a teenaged girls purse, however it sports a glass lens and some manual controls.
This will be our last episode of the season, but we will be back next fall!
