I took a Nikon FM3a to Mexico for my honeymoon... and it did not go as planned. In this video, I share my real-world experience shooting 35mm film in harsh tropical light, including what went wrong with my FM3a, how my point-and-shoots saved the day, and what I learned about film photography while exploring one of the seven wonders of the world—Chichén Itzá. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned film shooter, this is a lesson in testing your gear before a once-in-a-lifetime trip. I shot Kodak Pro Image 100, Ultramax 400, and Tri-X 400—all covered here with results, context, and a few painful mistakes. You'll also see sample shots from the Ricoh R1s, Nikon AF Action Touch, and an infrared-converted Fuji—plus tips on packing film cameras for travel, metering in bright light, and handling underexposure in color and black and white film. 📱IG: @calebknueven ☕️ Buy Me A Coffee: https://bmc.link/badflashes 📧 Email : Badflashes@gmail.com 📧 Business Inquiries : badflashes@grail-talent.com 🖼️ Prints: https://calebknueven.darkroom.tech 📷 Clever Supply Strap: https://cleversupply.co?ref=MKAZ3 - code badflashes for 10% off https://clever-supply-llc.kckb.me/c240fc7e - Sidekick Pro 🎶 Music: https://www.trackclub.com/referral-landing/?via=bad-flashes 🎒Bag: Brevite: Jumper https://www.brevite.co/?rfsn=6938463.0b31bb 📹 Cameras: Nikon FM3a - Nikon AF Action Touch - Ricoh R1s 🎞️ Film: Pro Image Ultramax Tri-X 📙Chapters: 00:00 | Intro to Mexico 01:55 | the shots I didnt mess up 07:57 | me messing up at one of the most beatiful places 15:20 | Final Lesson #nikon #nikonFm3a #filmphotography #cancun #mexico
