In this video I talk about how I make concert and event photography more fun again by using all manual film cameras and I also explain why I chose a digital camera with auto modes for the last concert I photographed.

How to have more fun with CONCERT photography
How to have more fun with CONCERT photography YouTube video by Lilly Schwartz Photography

A new video is up! I finally figured out why I didn’t enjoy concert photography anymore: Modern cameras make it far too easy with burst modes, reliable autofocus and autoexposure.

This lens used to be my favourite back when I started taking photography more seriously and to my surprise it still delivers when I use it on my Lumix with a Viltrox EF to L mount adapter, even though by now the lens is more than 15 years old.

Nearly had a moment of shooting, developing and scanning my film on the same day. Until my Pakon showed me the dreaded x20000 error 😭 fingers crossed that a bit of a deep clean tomorrow will fix it. I really don't want to lose the DX sensor. And tomorrow because it's 3 AM and brain's not braining 🫣

The best part is: it’s super easy and affordable to make this camera a lot more versatile. Of course we’ll also go outside and test the mod thoroughly so that you see whether this is worth it for you.

In this video I also make field recordings with my Clippy Mics of bird calls at a river delta and record footage and take pictures of the birds too with my Canon EF-S 55-250 f/3.5-5.6 IS. This wasn’t the plan either, but life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.

Getting sidetracked by my vintage HELIOS lens YouTube video by Lilly Schwartz Photography

New video is up! Come along for a calm photo walk in the woods where I get seriously sidetracked by the wonderful Helios lens on my Lumix S5 IIx. I love the way this lens renders and can’t resist taking photos with it, even when that wasn’t the plan!

Chasing Snow in Spain - Wintery Landscape photography POV YouTube video by Lilly Schwartz Photography

A new video is up! It only snows every 5 years where we live, so if there is even the slightest hint of snow, I run to grab my camera. Come along while I chase elusive snow pictures in the entirely wrong place.

Nathan Plante — Dark Ambient, AI, and the Human Touch YouTube video by Lilly Schwartz

It was such a pleasure being interviewed by @lillyschwartz.bsky.social ! She did the cover art for both my albums and also has a wonderful YT channel about synths and photography.

We chat about synths, AI and science fiction. Enjoy!

We talk about what makes art feel truly human, the “moment of clarity” in creative work, and how technology can support that process.

If you’re into modular synths, (dark) ambient music, or the evolving relationship between artists and their tools, I think you’ll enjoy this one.

Comparing a Vintage Style Digital Camera to my Phone

A new photography video is up! This time something super fun: I test a cute Chuzhao TLR toy camera and compare it side by side with an old iPhone SE 2020.

The whole experience even inspired a track on my new album Polarcoaster - dreams long forgotten.

The technical stuff: I was shooting my Leica M6 with a Minolta 90mm f/4 that was still new to me back then and T-Max 100 film, developed as always in HC-110.

My plan was to make field recordings of bird song, but I got seriously side tracked with a special effects filter and ended up taking a lot of pictures too with my Lumix S5 IIx, a Canon 50mm f/1.4 LTM lens and the Neewer Spiral Halo filter. I hope you enjoy it!

For me PETG goes really stringy if I don't dry it, which can create big blobs and then it might fail, so I just have the dryer as my spool holder now. Really improved my prints a lot. Before I was really struggling with PETG.

Do you dry your filament? If not, that usually helps for me.
