Photography Shoot w/ Hasselblad 501cm Square Film Camera
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июн 2020
- In this landscape photography video, I take my medium format Hasselblad 501cm film camera out in the field and shoot a roll of Fuji Provia 100 film. I stick to the coastline and photograph very minimal scenes. I am quite happy with the results, but as always, I am still learning.

#LandscapePhotography #Film #501cm
Thomas Heaton you’re the man. Can’t thank you enough for taking my course and recommending it here. I’m thrilled to see you using a Hasselblad, my friend. The film photography community can only benefit from your pursuit of film. Beautiful photos and great video as always.
You deserve every credit you get Nick.
James Bell - Landscape Photography Agree on that 100%!!
Now two of my favorite RUclipsrs.are shooting film. Seems like I need to sell my xt20 📸 😂. Great video Al's usual of you both!👍
I shoot digital, but I have learnt so much from Nick's field and camera craft. One of the best photography channels out there.
there are three top photography channels in youtube for me, one is the hardcore (cold and snow) landscape photography of thomas, the other is the fantastic cityscape photography from nick wich is more what i love (maybe because i live in Berlin) ...and the reason why i try analog after 16 years again... but only medium format or lager. maybe i make a documentation of my first new steps in 2020...but in german ;) thanks both..
MORE FILM PHOTOGRAPHY PLEASE !!! Im now happily married to a hasselblad and you inspired me to go on the first date !
That last shot is my favorite of the set.. love the layers
The sky is just so much more interesting.
Absolutely!!!
Ok but Nick Carver/Thomas Heaton collab when?
yes please
......or Steve O'Nions, he knows a thing or two about film.
I'd love to see Thomas' minimalist take on Nick's love of dilapidated buildings. but both of them have such calming videos
We get a couple more of these big film shooters in on the collab and we'll have ourselves an Analogue Voltron!
Seeing how you find those beautiful, minimalistic compositions that most people would easily go by without even noticing them is such a big inspiration to me. You don't have to travel all around the world to take amazing photos, there are a ton of beautiful shots right around the corner waiting for you to take them. Thank you so much Thomas!
I think its so funny that:
Digital: 200 exposures, 5 good pictures
35mm film: 36 exposures, 5 good pictures
120 film: ~10 exposures, 5 good pictures
4x5 film: 5 exposures, 5 good pictures
Because digital exposure doesn't cost money. Thats why digital camera turn human into clicker.
Too true ! Learn photography and train often, you’ll end up with 10 good ones whatever camera or film used.
Hi Thomas, very glad that you join the analog community. Welcome! Just one thing, you should always check the reciprocity failure before tacking a shot. I love your chanel. 👌
Your truly compositional skills are emerging with square format ... in the footsteps of Charlie Waite!
Just such a relaxing 10 minutes or so. Love the photography but the peace in the process, the time taken. The whole process so enjoyable
doctor: “you have 16 minutes and 6 seconds left to live”
me:
Absolutely brilliant m8!! A true comment from you..... You thought you knew all there is to know about photography!!??? When I started shooting film I realised exactly how much I didn't;t know!! Analogue photography is like trying to explain space!!! It's an abyss of a subject!!!
I'm so with you on this journey Tom, I myself am re-visiting film with a Bronica SQ-Ai and am taking inspiration form your new found film stuff. Well done for shouting out Nick he's another inspiration.
Definite yes on the square calendar. I took Nick's course on metering last year, and it completely changed the way I shoot both film and digital. Loved it so much, nice to see others getting the same benefit and spreading the word. I enjoyed this week's images very much. It's been cool seeing your journey with 6x6 so far, looking forward to a lot more!
Beautiful images, that's what I like, and on film, even better!
Square format calendar? Yes, yes, yes, and I would add... Yes!!!
@10:28 this honestly earned a genuine chuckle from me. Didn't quite expect that
I'm really enjoying these film photographs. Just looking at these images I feel like you're in your element and enjoying yourself a lot more (creatively) than I have seen you for a long time.
I love the fact that somebody as experienced as you can still be excited by something new in photography
I’ve watched you for a few years now and always enjoyed your videos Thomas. Now that you also shoot a Hasselblad I keep checking back for new videos. I shoot mostly with a 500 CM and the process changes everything. Well done mate!
As I said in your previous post with the 501CM, I was shooting with these Hasselblad film cameras long before you were born (1972 to be exact)!! It brings back fond memories watching you actually use this fine camera with a Zeiss lens. The only downside to owning one of these fine cameras today is repair & maintenance. There are NO electronics in the body nor lens. Everything is gears & springs, and they do eventually break, or need adjustment after a while. Good repairmen are becoming more difficult to find, so be sure to find one in the UK or Europe who can service your camera/lens when the time comes. There's only one good repairman left in the US - David Odess. Hasselblad USA no longer services these cameras.
Just as an FYI - there ARE numerous digital backs available for the 500 series bodies, just in case you ever wanted to shoot digitally with it. Hasselblad made a 16 mpix square back which I once owned (around 2008, I believe). It was awesome, and printed beautifully up to 24"x24" (which was a big as my printer would print).
Today, Hasselblad offers a new 50 mpix digital back (not cheap) for the 500 series bodies. Although this back now shoots a horizontal rectangle, you'll still have about 39 mpix when cropping to square once you've captured the image. Downside to any of the digital backs for the 500 series cameras is that the sensor is much smaller than the 6x6 film back, meaning you will lose wide angle capability. I'm guessing here that you're using the 80mm lens. It would become a 120mm lens with a digital back. But a used CF 50mm or 60mm Zeiss Distagon would provide you with a close equivalent to your 80mm Planar.
Love the square format, so it's a big thumbs up for me for the next calendar.
The best thing about shooting with film is it forces you to be purposeful in your shooting. You can see it in action with your setup and resulting images! Awesome!
Loving your square shots, Thomas!
It’s hip to be square ... again. Go for the square calendar! I especially liked your final shot. Good ole Provia brought back fond film memories.
Cambois beach is interesting, along with the industrial backdrop of Blyth.
Good video..
I love this narrative way of video.
Mirror lockup, weighing down the tripod and lens hood....brilliant
I love your last image. Thanks for sharing your thought process.
I love your videos about film photography!!
I love it, Thomas! I‘m having great time seeing you, enjoying film photography!
True delight to watch and even more now that you are shooting film. I always struggle to see people taking digital photo then spending hours in Photoshop and Lightroom to make the image look sometimes nothing like it is in real life. But to now see your delight in shooting film as well fantastic!
Fell in love with squares! Never though i would take square images, now i love it because of you, thanks a lot!
Wonderful video, and gorgeous shots!
I sooo much enjoy this minimalistic shots
Keep pumping out Hasselblad content!!! So satisfying.
Square calendar would be sweet! I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these and your book! Starting my RUclips channel this week! Thanks for your passion!
Love that last shot!
Adventure and learning process!
Nice to see you adding more film photography in your videos Thomas! Love your work, and Nicks, and have been following you both for long time. Always nice to the respect in the online community as well👍
My Hasselblad is a 500C was built in 1965. I have two lenses both Sonnar f4's a 150mm and a 180mm. I do need a better meter though. Love the square format and it has brought back some mystery and joy that has been missing lately. I rather liked the last image. It has a mod and feel to it that the others don't seem to have. I love mod by the way.
I’m really enjoying your recent approach to minimalism. I think your photos lately look really great for that genre. Thanks Thomas. Looking forward to your next video.
Dont feel pressured Tom. I come to see your vision and I'm good with waiting
Fantastic !!
Where are these people who complain not owning the latest mirrorless camera in the market ? 🤣🤦🏻♂️
liked not only the drama of the last shot, but the sandy dark brown, that lovely roll of smooth dark blue gray surf, the impatient stormy sky - wow. Good video all.
Love the colour of Provia
Great stuff Thomas, looks like you are getting the hang of your new camera, love that you are showing more of your local scenery
That last photo is by far my favorite of the batch. I love the simple layering.
Love the vids, it always calms me down after a tough day!
I really appreciate and relate to your using film right now, as that was the only thing available when I started learning photography. Photography in it's basic form is about composition and light, and when you have limited funds...the 12, 24, or even 36 shot limit made you really think about those 2 parts of photography even more. I often went a week or more taking a role of 12 exposure film because the cost of film and development. Crafting the photograph instead of relying on getting lucky (taking 100 digitial photos)...although luck had a lot to do with many of my first photographs as I was learning the basics, but it was still exciting to discover the 4 shots that looked great on that roll. Keep up the work, you are inspiring me to pick my film camera up and go shoot. Thanks Thomas Heaton!
Very powerful & moving landscape moment love the simple but pure sea scape scene
Loving your images with the hasselblad 👍
Fantastic video!, thanks Thomas
Thank you, Thomas, for showing us your analog learning process. I think even if you have calculated the pictures well in advance, the tension is great when they are in front of you. Again and again
Great stuff yet again Tom. You wear that Hasselblad well.
Nice. really like the minimalist shots towards St Marys.
Always love the content! I just received my email yesterday morning saying the book is on its way and I couldn't be more excited!! Your videos have been so inspirational over the last 2-3 years for me. You helped transform a hobby into a true passion. Thank you very much for your dedication, inspiration and amazing work!
You and me both Chris.
Yes for the square calendar. I really enjoy this series :)
There’s just something so satisfying about the process of taking images with film. I’m not sure why it should be so different with DSLRs, but it is! Stunning images Thomas, especially like that last one. This was definitely a worthwhile investment 😉 Sam.
The last image was my favorite. I think a square calendar would work. It would be different than most calendars. I saw that my autographed book is on its way. I can’t wait to review it. Thank you so much for putting the time and effort into creating the book! Now I will have a collection of your prints.
Just love the square format Tom and remember fondly using a 'Blad 500cm back in the 1980's !! Unbelievably well made cameras. Something about the tactile/mechanical process that feels right to me
I have been a regular watcher of your channel for awhile and have always enjoyed your work. However, as a film shooter myself, my interest and enjoyment has definitely grown. Long live film! Now that you are cutting your teeth on MF it won't be long until you dust off your LF camera. Those beautiful big negatives have a way of not only capturing amazing detail and depth but will capture your soul as well.
THanks Thomas, the images are quite calming. I particularly like the first 2 images. Film can be so daunting after digital, you must take your time, which is a good thing to do.
Nice video! Outstanding images as always. I could sense your stress near the end of the video and it was humble of you to not edit out your thoughts and reasoning beyond not completing the 120 roll. Thank goodness I do not have the "pressures of RUclips" and my photography remains free of such bias. Film does allow you to expand your photography and the 501 is a perfect compliment. Shooting black and white and processing your own film and working in the darkroom is a magical experience that will soon be lost. Yes, a real darkroom is truly a different experience than Lightroom!. I do not enjoy spending time in front of computers as it is additional screen time of an already "screen-dependent world! Excellent of you to explore medium-format film. As always, very much enjoy your videos and great work you are doing.
This low dynamic range is mostly because of the slide film. One needs to be really spot on when shooting such film. You can try color negative film, which is more forgiving but wont reach that saturation and smoothness of a slide film (if you nail the the exposure). Glad to see you experiment with film.
A square format calendar , yes please.
And as almost always, loved this episode.
Thanks Thomas. Another great video. You were the inspiration for me picking up my camera a year ago again and starting my own RUclips channel. 😃
Thanks Thomas, I'm left a bit without words.... love the minimalist approach
Thanks Thomas for this video! I’ve been exploring square format as well and it’s not easy to get minimalist in my framing ... need to train my eyes to see differently. Thanks for encouraging us with your 501cm videos! Bravo for some beautiful shots!
Brings back memories of shooting film. So much different than the digital we shoot today. Much more of a craft. Nice shots.
the last one is actually my favorite.
Thomas - awesome work and so happy you are shooting film as well as digital. A square calendar - I'm in.
Peter
I got my book yesterday. Totally awesome! Well done!!
Very beautiful and nice clear seascapes photography, i love your all video and your landscape photography📸👍
Great minds seem to think alike Thomas! I have also recently brought out my Hasselblad 501CW, taken Nick's amazing course, gone out with a Sekonic (against Nick's suggestion) and started shooting a bit of color film. The last time I did that was 22 years ago and in 35mm. I say an unambiguous yes to a square format calendar! Now you just need to go out in the desert with Nick to shoot abandoned western architecture and cactus/rocks.
Thomas Heston is the David Attenborough of Photography videos, I could listen to his voice all day! Excellent video, I feel very lucky to live in the North East seeing this
Great vid Thomas. that Hasselblad 501cm is really great for very minimalistic photos.
Loving watching you learn your new camera. Loved the texture in the sand but the last one was my fave.
I’m a XT-3 shooter, but this is the 3rd time I’ve watched this video. The 501c/m is addictive. Pure music.
Great video and images Tom. I think a lot of film photographers and vloggers are happy to see you making a move into film photography.
Also watch your channel Stephen. Great stuff. I am a nobody who has been shooting digital for just three years, and have just started shooting film also. Amazingly good fun!
@@davidellinsworth22 thanks for tuning in. I hope your film photography is going well.
Great video as always Thomas and love the 'Doom' style fps format - really helps us understand what you see in a composition!
The last image is definitely my favourite of the set!
Whitley Bay! Lovely to see again after months of lockdown!
I really like the music and the mood of this video. And my personal favourite is the fourth photo.
Squarespace, 6 by 6 camera... Feeling boxed in..?
Haha
Your channel is one of the best
Love the first three in particular but all four are a joy and a pleasure. Simple beautiful, bit of mood, nice light. What more could one ask. Thanks Thomas for another chilled vid, knowledge and great images. I sub to lots of channels, including your Mad friends and always enjoy your chilled approach and dry humour. Cheers AL 🤙📸
nice mate , the last one was very painterly , great doctor surgery photos keep the customers calm !
Absolutely loved this yet again really enjoying the voice over and the music is beautiful. Those pictures are surreal.. your a true photographer mate 👏📸 and I love your honesty
Nick Carver is the man, along with yourself, I've been following Nick for a while. Great video, nice to see someone learning the art of film photography.
I love your photos in this one. I think your handling of the quality of the film is spectacular. Great video
Hi Tom, Agree with you on a Square Calendar ! Great Idea ; - ) Like the pic's, nothing like good ol' film ! Nick Carver is a Fantastic photographer, along the lines of Ben Horne ! Cheers, P.
Yeah! Nick Carver is really awesome! Great shots Mr. Heaton.
Nick's course was eye opening for sure, it really helped a lot not just with film but also digital.
Dang great video man! I absolutely loved the photo taken on the second beach you went to. I just adored the textures, and tones, great job Tom.
This video is so relaxing. Please keep up the series on film. Love it Thomas!
wohoo finally another video with the hasselblad. 😍
Gotta love square medium format! Probably one of the most unique film formats you can shoot.
Medium formats all the way 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I just love the mechanical sounds of a piece of precision kit, which reminds me of the time 50 years ago when I used to sell Mamiyas and Bronicas - never did sell a Hasselblad though.
Many years ago, I always wanted a Hassey 500c series camera. As I was young and didn’t have much money, the closest I got was a Mamiya TLR. These days, sometimes I shoot my Fuji XT1 in square format, B&W, with the LCD flipped for waist-level shooting, and a prime lens using manual focus. It gives just a little bit of the experience!
This is the most helpful video I’ve watched because I’m new to the field as you are,, Thanks a lot!!
I like your new style of makeing videos... And i like that you are re-inventing yourself and just go with it and explore new things. Really enjoyed this video
