Always bring a map I suppose! But a fun video

Haha great video!

Hi, great your Mamiya turns out okay. Did you shoot that 100 ISO Fujfilm at box speed? So it turned out a little softer than it should. Or did you overexpose a little since it was expired?

At 78, it's been a few decades since I hauled a load of cameras and lenses through an off-trail bushwhacking adventure. It is surprisingly positive to watch someone else do it. It takes a braver man than I to haul a 100-400mm zoom on a snipe hunt up a mountain. And, I covet his hat. I casually spent a couple of decades looking for one like that, with only marginal success. I found one out of Australia, but it was prohibitively expensive to buy and ship. Tilly isn't cheap, but affordable and seems to be worth the price. Unhappily, now too old and lame to care.

I've been shooting in 35-37C conditions, and both my X-H2 and GFX 100 II are constantly showing overheat warnings. They're clearly not built for this hot; no idea why fuji thinks they are. edit: I only shoot stills, not even video.

Half the fun of going out is the risk of getting lost. I enjoy visiting new places and just wandering where I can. It's good that you made it back out to be able to share this with us. Take care and I'll be looking for the next one.

Hey Jude! First of all, a big congrats on the new little one. Awesome! I really did very much enjoy this episode. Maybe because it closely resembles so many of mine. When I leave the house my wife always tells me to take my phone along and also to turn it on. If nothing else she says, it may at least help us find your body.😅 The heat has been brutal here also, and I haven't ventured very far out in it. Tomorrow looks promising and I am anxious to finally get out again. Take care now. Snow probably not all that far away anymore.

hahaha! glad that shutter release has become a key thing to bring along! I'm surprised the H2s isn't doing so well in the heat. I wouldn't be surprised if it's over 100 but melting in 80 degrees seems unusual. I'm impressed you're out and about so soon after #2! Also - I just picked up a little GoPro too to use exactly like you have the pocket 3... too funny. That bark image at 25:30 is awesome

do you have any info on the 3D print files you used? Particularly the guide you drop in the viewfinder

Driving like an Italian...haha. Great video!

I only shoot film and treat film ISO as a tool. Really its something to consider when thinking about how I want the end product to look. I'm not one of those delusional people who think its possible to have a non edited finished photograph, but I try my best to get it right first time in camera, sometimes that means leaving taking the photo for another day. The inevitable changes that occur when negatives are converted to digital or even prints now in labs are beyond my control. I will be buying my own epson scanner, but that won't change much, I'm only doing that because one of the formats I shoot (6x17) costs so much to get scanned in labs, not because I could do it better.

Hey Jude! Very much enjoyed your experiment here. Thanks for all your efforts in this process and for sharing the results. Not a big fan of shooting Polaroid. My results never seem to vary. They are always bad. Nice to see one of your videos again. Always enjoy them. Have a great summer now.🙂

one tip, most POLAROID type instant films, (instax Wide certainly) is rated at iso 800 !! so using your 160 iso constant variable in the experiment means you have under exposed it by a 2-3 stop factor!, if my maths is right, no wonder it all turned out dark. But in addendum to my earlier comments, ASA 100/160/200 are your friends in bright light, giving you some leeway in exposing the highlights, so none are too hot, certainly at EV values 15+ it SAVES washing out your pictures, and if it's grain you are after, EkTar is great, and IS a 100asa film, so this proves it.

I have gone down this rabbit hole too, I shoot Nikon Z6, Hasselblad (H1 & 500c\m) and a sinar F2 and this is similar to what I've found, they all act similarly, However, in Larger formats, MF and LF to be precise, you NEED to be more careful, Glare and the telephoto nature of those lenses mean motion blur, and flaring are evils we have to face; so USE lens hoods ALWAYS, an ND filter, and cable release/M_up/Tripod all the time, it saves your pictures. Expose film over Digital, Film needs light to make the shadows have enough detail, Digital can be blown out with over, so under expose to get highlights correct (or use ND, as I mentioned previously). Digital is a great PARTNER to film!, it's histogram gives glare warnings, and shows us what contrast will look like, so if the shot works or not.

one tip, if you had acquired a Lomograflok back, then you could have eliminated one body in your kit, as the LF is capable of not only MF formats (6x4.5 to 6x17) but with the lomograflok polaroid (fujifilm Instax Wide) films are also available to shoot; so technically the LF could have done polaroid and Film, and if a LF camera digital back adaptor was used, then ALL three formats could have shared the same body, lens, and exposure meters, so simplifying the gear carried.

Interesting! I would note, however, that my brothers Canon R5 images are typically brighter than my A7RV images with the same settings. Maybe I can conclude, from this video, that mine are more “accurate.” 😉

Great test and definitely good to see that they aren't wildly off from each other. That last shot was definitely worth the effort.

great video. When i used to shoot pola on cold sets for references we would rub the back while timing the exposure. Worked a treat and colouirs were spot on

Good to see you back on the tube again. Your landscape is so different from here in the UK.

Dude, welcome back! I'm glad you spent all that time and effort... just to confirm on Wikipedia haha. Looking forward to what else you get into this summer

A7RV + 24-70 GM2 is my main … also the 36-150 Tamron, the 85 1.8 … that’s basically my kit I use most :)

wow great video and such amazing photos, you truly inspired me to try this out. I have an RB67 and have access to a 3D printer. I’d really appreciate it if you could share the link to the finder mask so that I could print it out and try this myself thanks in advance and keep up the good work 👍

I had Sony A7RIII with 42 megapixels, a great Camera ! I switched it for a Sony A7RIV and later got a Sony A7RIVA, now I have switched the Sony A7RIV to a Sony A7RV. I like the 61 megapixels ! I have used Hasselblad 6x6 cm and Sinar 4x5" and 5x7" Cameras, so I just need very good quality. I do Landscape, Nature, Macro, Bird, Wildlife, Portrait, City/Street/Urban, Architecture and more Photography. I often crop some of the image, either in slim panorama or in square format, so the 61 megapixels comes to their right ! The Sony A7RV is the best ever Camera that I have worked with for 45 years as both a professional and hobby Photographer, using a lot of different Cameras, I like the compact size of the Sony A7RV, I have large hands, but I have no problems ! The EVF and the IBIS plus the Bird´s eye detection of the Sony A7RV are the reason that I upgraded the Camera, for those who do not need these, I cn highly recommend the Sony A7RIVA ! When you have made your own custom settings in the Camera, it is very easy to use. I NEVER do videos and I NEVER use zooms ! I only use prime Lenses, zooms are too big, too heavy and too expensive, one of my mentors always said, "If you have a prime wide angle Lens and a short prime tele Lens, then you can cover about 90% of all kind of Photography ! I have 14, 21, 24, two 35, 55, 65 Macro, 85, 110 Macro, 135 and 500mm Lenses.

Have had the F for a few years now and it’s amazing!! Great photos - enjoy!!

Thanks for the rundown! Moved from the Z6ii to the A7iv, and have realized everything I really want is on the A7RV... including Crop Mode with 26mp :D. The low rez LCD/EVF is also a prime motivator for me... I just feel on my A7iv I have to port everything to the computer to if it's decent, hoping the A7RV's screen resolution assists in bypassing post a bit. Also getting more reach for BIF and wildlife in Crop Mode is a factoring agent. Great video, looking forward to watching your journey, Sub'd.

I have this camera and love it also and did get the battery grip for it to help with holding it and being able to hold the extra battery I also need to get more lenses for it and a flash or two but did get the Sony 70-200mm 2.8 ii and the Sony 200-600mm with the 1.4 and the 2x converters also got the viltrox 16mm 1.8 for the northern lights here in Alaska

Hey Jude, enjoyed this video. Liked, and subbed. What I appreciate most is that you just shared your thought process with us, and then showed your work.

I bought the A7RV when it was released and, although my budget still hurts, it makes me very happy. Only downside, the pictures out of camera when I shoot in Auto mode are impressive. They need very little editing besides contrast and shadows. Amazing camera.

Congratulations on your addition to the family. With you on the upgrade. After 5 years shooting landscapes on Olympus m43 cameras I pulled the trigger on a used Nikon Z7ii towards the end of last year and am really happy with the images I'm getting.

Excellent. Did you crop out the sprocket holes?

So do you think it's strictly a walkaround / street camera? I don't imagine you'll shoot with it when much you're out shooting landscapes?

very retro looking!

Give that camera to someone who can shoot

You forgot the most important reason. The copper coloured lens mount. Glad you found a camera that you like, hope it sticks this time ;) Btw. 800 photos isn't even one event ;) Then again it will probably take 10+ years before my Linhof reaches those numbers 😅

I’m torn in between getting the Sony A7iv or the Nikon D850 as my first camera. I am planning to become a professional photographer. I’ve heard the Sony cameras collect dust on the sensor often, are you experiencing that problem?

First of all, a big congrats on the little one on the way. Thats awesome. Secondly, if one already has a large investment in a camera brand, staying with that brand makes a whole lotta sense. Especially when it's a good brand to start with. Looking like I agree with you. Have a Great weekend now.😎

good stuff bud. glad you're enjoying this one! I've never used a Sony, but man I am jealous of that 20-70mm f/4. That would be my go-to lens for so many different things!

I just discovered your channel It's amazing to see that kind of reflections on RUclips ! It makes me feel good to see that the phase I'm passing through right now is shared by other artists :) (actually my friends don't understand yet this approch to art, i admit that i was feeling a bit lonely) Thank you !

I've been on a similar path recently. I felt I wanted the photographs I'm taking to have a purpose behind them rather than random photos of anything that catches my eye. I like the idea of photo projects. One that I'm working on is the slate Quarries of North Wales.

Great introspection and topic bud. I was just wondering this week what you had been up to, sounds like you were knee deep in reflection haha. Like you, I also strive to keep whatever video or photos I put out there as 100% authentically mine, which is why I stopped using the “RUclips music tracks” or the clickbait titles/thumbnails, etc. I’d rather have 10% the audience and traffic than go down that path

i enjoy your philosophies, Jude. For myself, the world could care little if I even take a picture much less create a photo. Today I was out most of the day with my dog and cameras. Though I had several cameras, I only shot film. I photographed nature and man's interaction with Nature; mostly along a river. I have had at least one success today and that was getting out to do what I enjoy. Tomorrow I am hoping for at least one more success, and that would be, to find that I made at least one photo that pleases me. Have a Great rest of the weekend now.

Hi! Here are my random thoughts. Photography, landscape for me frees us emotionally and reveals things from inside we may not have wanted or known how to deal with. I see man, in general at war with the environment and that has deep psychological and even biological consequences. We talk about being out in "nature" as if it is a foreign entity. You often hear landscape photographers say their job is to make scenes make sense. I view this as wrong. When you do that you are trying to impose something on nature that is not there. You are attempting to put humans' myopic view on nature. I also see numerous photographers work through tough emotions with their photography. Also, photography is, for me anyway something quite enjoyable and rewarding while I'm doing it. If I can bring some of that joy to other people through a photograph or video that's an added bonus. I hope something in there makes some sense. Keep on going. Thanks for the video.

I 100% agree with you Jude about having your photography meaning more than just snapping shots of cool places. Wanting more out of your art is a true artist's goal. What do you want to communicate with your art? I've been asking myself that question as well. As I reflect on my work from the last year, I can't see a specific style, but I can see a theme of colorful, joyous, and beauty. Maybe the thing for you to do is to reflect on all your past work and see if you can see a style or theme. Might give you some inspiration just like Andy Goldsworthy's book did. Thanks for that tip by the way. I always love discovering other artists. Check out the book "Foraged Art: Creating Projects Using Blooms, Branches, Leaves, Stones, and Other Elements Discovered in Nature". It might provide some more inspiration. I look forward to seeing your journey on this path! Exciting!!! Thanks for the video, Jude. Love this topic. Keep going.

Great video Jude. Love the concept, the photos and the methodology you are using. I could listen to you narrate all day! LOL. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

Loved the shot into the sun

Hi Jude I'm a new subscriber I have seen a few of your videos I love your outlook and vision I like my photos to look how i see them i enjoyed this video very well done having some fun with the topic of the video I wish you every success on your photography journey looking forward to the next one Many thanks jude for a very entertaining video

also another tip, for the polaroid shot of the church, perhaps an ND filter?(a variable, on the sky ending at the church roof), as the sun from behind the belfry overexposed the shot by 1-2 stops, making it unusable, if you don't photoshop it first; perhaps a shot for digital instead, where this glare can be dealt with easily.

use a 2 stop grey grad to darken sky. increase exposure 2 stops to get some detail in the land

I like your sense of humor. I got a good laugh this morning!

I started taking photos first, then found RUclipsrs who took photos in that area.
