Pentax 6x7 Film Photography - The Dam Photo Shoot
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 дек 2022
- This is my first time shooting Fuji Pro 400H with my Pentax 6x7. And I am also focusing on a man-made structure instead of the landscapes around town. I call it a dam, but it might be a diversion dam or perhaps a spillway for the hydro-electric dam up at Lucky Peak Reservoir. I honestly am not sure what to call it, but I found it highly photogenic on this overcast afternoon.

Been enjoying your videos, thanks!
Thank you! It makes me so happy to know you like them!
👍👍
Right back atcha!
Just found your channel. Good work!
Really appreciate that! Thanks for checking it out!
can you make a video explaining how to use a spot meter like yours? Great video!!!
I’m not sure how much I can share. I use Nick Carver’s method, so I don’t want to reveal any secrets I learned from his course. If you want to learn from the best, I recommend his metering course. It changed everything for me!
Hey Jude! Your videos are most enjoyable and I enjoy film photography. Have a good one.👍👍
Thank you so much! And I love film photography more and more! There’s something magical when I get those scans back.
Loving the videos! Come on up to Moscow sometime and we should shoot together.
That would be so cool! I'd love to make a trip up there. It's been a long time since I've been able to get up there.
Great compositions and video!
Thank you! I was really trying to work this composition!
love your videos man & your film photos are great to :)
I really appreciate the comment and view, my friend!
A cable release would be useful.
Oh definitely! That would’ve made a huge difference. I had forgotten it at home when I went out to photograph this.
Great video! RUclips recommended this after I did a lot of research on the Pentax 6x7 (hoping to buy my first one soon!). Really enjoyed it. Subscribed!
Wow! That's so cool to hear! I really appreciate the support. Yeah, I have been really enjoying the Pentax 6x7. Mine seems to have a mechanical issue that is resulting in it only exposing 7-8 frames instead of its standard 10, so just watch out for that! Thanks again! Let me know how you like the camera when you get it!
Very good effort, and some good results. Personally, I would have used B&W as the scene was almost monochromatic, and a CN emulsion would not be at its best in those conditions. I noticed one thing though, and you might already know this, but get used to only removing the prism when the lens has been removed first. With your plain prism it makes no difference, but if you ever get a metering prism and you remove the prism with the lens attached, the little delicate chain activating the TTL mechanism will break sadly, and that is not good. Hope you didn't mind the advice.
I never mind any advice or suggestions! I'm certainly no expert, and I love learning from people who have been doing this way longer than me. I had no idea there was a potential to break something by removing the prism! I really appreciate the help!
This scene would have looked really cool in B&W as well. I think I may return during early morning so I can get more contrasting light. As nice as the subject is, you're right, it lacked a "pop" in this situation.
@@JudeStreicherPhoto Yes, I knew that a long time ago. Didn't use my 67 for a few years and one day, I didn't secure the TTL prism correctly and it came off with lens attached and broke theTTL chain. Its a tiny little red/bronze colour chain just in front of the focusing screen in a tiny slot. Its a really bad design, but it is what it is.
Oh man! That does sound like a poor design. Is it still useable even with that broken?
@@JudeStreicherPhoto Yes it is, but no TTL. It can be repaired but its a specialist job as the lens mount has to come off. The difficulty is precisely aligning the lens mount with the optical axis of the lens and making sure that the lens focuses correctly at infinity, after the repair. All because of a stupid chain. These poor design decisions are not the sole property of Pentax either. I have two Contax G2 bodies that stopped working last year. Everything works but the shutter curtain ( they both have less than 4000 actuations ). After a bit of research and headscratching I found out what may have been at fault. I contacted a few people in the UK but no luck, no one wanted to touch them. A couple of weeks ago a Dutch oufit said they could repair them and it was apparently a common fault. Contax in their wisdon, had decided to use plastic gears in the shutter actuation mechanism. These gears will fail in time. The Dutch people confirmed nmy fears that this was precisely the fault. It can take up to 10 weeks and each repair would cost about Euro 500, plus postage and packing. Fancy using plastic gears in a flagship superexpensive camera? Well done Contax ( RIP). This is probably why Nikon is still around and Contax, is not.
Sorry, it is not bad design. It is bad user that don't read the user manual..Get very familiar with the camera functions, before heading to the field, read the manual of any camera you're using..I had two Pentax 6x7 with mlu, bodies, for almost 15 years now, bought on ebay back then.. because they were used, and don't k own for how long, I immediately after I received then, sent them both for a CLA. Never had any issue with them. I studied well the manual, and used and expired roll of film to experiment, manual in hand. Just a wonderful camera, even though I have a TTL pentaprism, I most of the time use my Pentax Spotmeter V for metering. Oh! I have taped a note inside my bag, very well visible, "Remove the lens first, before removing the TTL Pentaprism"..The TTL pentaprism has to be mounted first before mounting the lens..🙂🙂
