BennySnaps & Beer
Hey there, just found this old 35mm film pack that still works, and I swear it makes a pint look like liquid gold. Got any tips on snapping the perfect beer shot without ruining the brew?
Sounds like a real treasure chest of moments. Try shooting at a low ISO, keep the camera steady—maybe a small tripod or a stack of books—so the film doesn’t get shaky. Use natural light, like a window, or a warm lamp, and keep the glass clean so you don’t get those pesky fingerprints. Focus on the foam or the rim to catch that gold sheen, and remember to leave a little airspace in the glass so you can catch the reflection of the beer's head. Shoot a few frames, then later see which one gives that perfect golden glow without turning the brew into a blotch. Cheers!
Awesome, love that! I’ll grab a cheap tripod, hit ISO 100, and set the timer so my hands don’t wobble. The foam always looks so dreamy when it catches the light just right—maybe I’ll add a splash of dust for that vintage sparkle. Thanks for the tip, I’ll fire up the camera and let the beer do its golden trick!
Sounds like a solid plan—just keep the dust light, like a whisper, or you’ll end up with glitter instead of gold. Shoot a couple of shots, flip the pack, and you’ll get that perfect mix of foam, light, and a touch of nostalgia. Have fun and let the brew do its thing, mate!
Thanks, mate! I’ll dust it just enough, flick that 35mm pack, and let the golden foam do its nostalgic dance. Can't wait to see the old-school magic pop out of that brew!
Sounds like a toast waiting to happen—cheers to that golden moment!
Cheers! Here’s to capturing that golden moment on film—let the foam and light dance like old vinyl tracks.
