  • Getting out of the house and making some photographs of the fall color and fog we had last Monday morning. It wasn’t the video I had planned on making, but I think it’s better than what would have been! The moral of the story is to make time for photos whenever you get a chance to. Hope you guys enjoy this one. All photos made with a Pentax 67, the 105mm f/2.4, and Portra 800. Developing and scanning done at The Darkroom in San Clemente, California. 📷❤️🎞

    Forget the hero shots. Casual beautiful shots like these, especially with a vintage camera, are what make photography fun.

    Those zoom ins really give an idea of how much detail in in that camera-film combo. Also when you you switch from your digital camera to the scanned slide, the colors really blow your mind. Thanks Matt for the inspiration!

    I often times find myself doing the same thing.
    Sometimes I get bored at the house, so I grab my Nikon FM or FE with a 50mm 1.2 and my Pentax 6x7 with a 75mm 4.5 and walk around town and take shots of things that catch my attention. Most of the shots have turned out pretty good...some not...LoL...but it's what brings us as people joy and we can provide a picture that...may just help brighten up someone's day.

    A great camera. Used them professionally for many years for horse racing with Kodak Vericolor III. The lack of flash sync at speed made us swap them for Mamiya Press cameras. A camera not seen on RUclips very much for some reason.

    As a landscape photographer, I am literally unable to say no to fog. I've gone into work late because of fog. You got some killer shots. I've never shot Portra 800. Just 160 and 400 but 800 looks like it has nice color. Though I usually shoot Ektar for fall foliage, the fog makes you want to reach for a more muted pallet

    There is no need for 6x7 for this photos. 135 mm film could have covered this scenes with fast prime lenses and better bokeh. Another time Pentax 67 is rather overrated. The results don't convince.

    Matt, you're a really good photographer and seem like a super nice guy. I've watched a lot of your videos and you have some good stuff to say, but my main gripe with your content is that you tend to say the same thing over and over again within the same video. It's not that what you're saying isn't valuable -- it almost always is -- but your rambling (for lack of a better term) unnecessarily extends the duration, often to the point where I'll click-through the rest or even stop watching altogether.
    For example, the last two minutes of this post are essentially you saying "I wasn't planning on doing this today, but I'm glad I did" over and over. I like the sentiment: that we should all be free to improvise and make time to shoot. But this could have been said in half or a fourth of the amount of time.
    Maybe planning the bullet points of what you're going to discuss before you hit 'record' will help you to be more concise. Or maybe it's just a matter of editing out some of the reiterations after you've already recorded. You seem to have a lot of photography wisdom, and I'd like to see your videos include more of your ideas and less repetition.
    This is coming from a place of utmost respect for you and your work, and I hope you find this constructive criticism useful. Have a great day, and happy shooting!
