    This is really Amasing to see! ive grown up climbing mountains in the Sierras with my father and family friends, i finished the John Muir Trail climbing Mt Whitney in 2019. After all the 221 miles i completed,and the beautiful scenery ive seen,it never occured to me to shoot any film there. ive been collecting cameras for a little over 3 years and all my childhood nostalgia has been backpacking in the great mountains, this truly made me happy to see one of my favorite photographers strolling around, walking to places that ive been before, and taking incredible photos where i grew up, Thank you

  • @randallstewart175
    @randallstewart175 4 года назад +3

    For those who may care, the light leaks on the 120 rolls he mentions are caused by inadequate tension on the paper leader at loading, which allows the initial leader to wrap the spool loosely. In turn this causes the film's diameter on the takeup spool to be too large, extending beyond the light protection of the spool ends. The solution is to put some pressure with your thumb on the new film roll when first winding on the leader, keeping it tight. My Pentax 67 has the same potential problem. Basically, the camera's tension on the film supply spool is inadequate.

    if you watch any TV you'll see that same abandoned house (16:20) in a commercial for some real estate company....it's an older picture of the house, with much of the green roofing still on top. I took a picture of that same house back in 2010 or 2011and it's hanging on my wall. The house is fading fast when compared to a few years ago, a natural process.

Your blend 'of not in a rush' slightly cynical but charming narrative in stand-up comic style, range of beautiful country (this one maybe takes the cake) and abandoned buildings for subjects continues to intrigue as well as being clearly in the do film or die culture is fabulous!

    I found mixing spools from different film brands in the Mamiya 7 sometimes contributed to the light leak issue. I mean using a Fuji spool to take up Kodak film or vice versa (or it could be changing film in direct sunlight). Also, I was very disappointed you didn’t shoot the abandoned buildings portion with cold neg film. 😢 but I’m jealous of the Arca Cube on your tripod.

    2:04 if you really want more grainy contrast, try shooting Delta 400 at 800 with an orange or red filter. It looks gorgeous and is more gritty than HP5.
    As for your film lab, you might want to give North Coast Photo in Carlsbad a try! They're real quick, have good prices, and make excellent scans. The Portra 400 scans you got look very washed out.
