    The Hasselblad is the fastest camera to load. But then again as a swed I was of course born with a A12 back in one hand and a C12 in the other.

    at 12:10 there is just something about that photo that is just awesome to me. That has to be one of my favorite indoor environment photos I have ever seen. There is something about the way the light is hitting the chair closer to the camera that makes it feel fake like its painted somehow but I know that its real. Awesome work.

  • @StanielBapes
    @StanielBapes Год назад +8

    I don't mean to attack your decision, but why would you shoot 4x5, and then diffuse it, if you do not want the extra sharpness it offers? Isn't that one of the main points of shooting it over 120 or 35mm?

  • @aperturecollect
    @aperturecollect Год назад

    I admire you for having figured out how to use the grafmatic backs. Mine seemed more trouble than it was worth so eventually I just used regular film holders which is what I used when I started to shoot 4x5.

    That left most Roy photo is probably my fave of the film shots I've seen of that sign. I like it because it is more "complete" sort of feels like an environment while the right one, yes, is dark and moody I think feels a little too empty with the darkness. Plus, I think left most composition and lighting is more Hopper esque. Thanks for the video!

    First, I was almost in tears from the opening humor. Then the redscale shots. Awesome!!! Now I see some more of the sand dune that Caleb showed. Great post all around.
    Nice putting the identical shots on different film next to each other, facilitating easy comparison.
    What was it that activated your adrenaline?
    Lastly, thanks for the food shot, it looked good. As I said to Caleb, you do a good food channel on the side.

    I work as a construction consultant & several years ago I was inspecting an abandoned 18 story hotel in New Orleans when I came to a room where I opened a closet door with a frightened homes person. We both were quite surprised & didn't want him to freakout so I told him don't worry I won't tell anyone you are here. Then the next day I was inspecting with one of the owner's reps & as we went by a room I said to the rep there is a dead body in there. If you know that smell you never forget it. We were not able to access the room but latter they did gain access & there was a dead person. For me abandoned buildings are not something I do for fun!

    If the tones are too cool you can warm them up during scanning. No color negative image is created without color correction. Even when making analog prints you need to dial the colors in the way you want. 800T can look just as warm as Gold.

  • @yetanotherbassdude
    @yetanotherbassdude Год назад +1

    Just a thought, but if you find the 4x5 lens you've got is too sharp, maybe try an antique lens with less resolving power like a Petzval or an older Kodak lens? Just really lean into that hipster anachronism we all know and love as film shooters. 😁
    I reckon uncoated glass and a simpler lens formula might just give you more of that more dreamy look you're going for, and there's plenty of cheap lenses like that on Ebay, etc so you're not losing much if what you get turns out to be shite. Also I'm loving the redscale shots you've been doing recently! Either it's Blade Runner 2049 or I'm expecting to find Matt Damon farming potatoes just out of frame, but either way the shots look cool as fuck.
