Small tip for Hasselblad users: If you accidentally release the shutter on the wrong speed, you can insert the darkslide, remove the film back, and then cock the shutter. You get a double exposure that way, but it won't matter if the first exposure is just black. Also works if you want multiple exposures, of course.
apps.apple.com/gb/app/viewfinder-preview/id1216484605 this is the viewfinder app I talk about. I’m not sponsored by this app but I find it incredibly useful in situations where framing up before unpacking the camera saves me time out of the rain or out of the way of pedestrians The app I use for reciprocity: apps.apple.com/gb/app/reciprocity-timer/id459691262
One thing I noticed about Acros is how slick the backing paper is. I managed to fog the first frame with how quickly it unrolled. Perhaps I'm too used to Kodak
Love the authenticity of the video...translating what’s envisioned in the mind to film can be frustrating, to say the least. For inspiration, check out Alexey Titarenko’s work. He focuses on long exposures (almost exclusively) in Russia’s metro. Maybe it’ll help inspire your next outing ☺️
Ive been considering picking up a 21mm voigtlander for my M3, id really like to see a video on that focal length personally. Also I've been really enjoying your videos lately, good to see you posting again!
@@JonathanNotley any regrets ? I have the 500CM and love it . Nice having a digital back for it too . I just cant bring myself to let go of the 67 /105 combo .
I probably should but usually I’ll just go as far as leaning over it with my coat. I normally use both hands for setup (e.g. camera onto tripod or lee filter holder onto Bay60) so I’d have to keep popping up the umbrella then stowing it.
Would you say a Hasselblad is harder to use than 35mm? I know all the stuff there is to know about exposure, I’m just wondering if it’s worth waiting to get into.
@@JonathanNotley thank you! I actually have a problem finishing my roles so this hopefully won’t be an issue. Do you get a lot of use out of the swappable backs?
I have a portra 400 back a black and white back (which I bought a black A12 for) and a back that I keep empty most of the time but often shoot provia in. It’s nice to be able to switch out backs and getting something like provia ‘stuck’ in my Pentax 67 was one of the main reasons I switched systems
apps.apple.com/gb/app/viewfinder-preview/id1216484605 here’s a direct link to it - decent app and it’s not just for 6x6 it’s customisable to show every format
@@JonathanNotley - I didn't realize it was the same app you mentioned previously in another comment. I downloaded it but I wasn't seeing that page at 2:05 so I thought it was a separate app. Cheers from sunny California!
You lad load your film at before a shoot or if you have to load on location. Place the roll in it's proper place then tare off paper less chance for mishaps butter finger dropping the roll or exposing the film after the tare fumbling from looking at your procedure it will happen just sooner or later. I send many assistants home after 2 warnings

Great video - interesting topic and images!

Which apps can can calculator long exposure?
Is it you use two different apps?
The other app is reciprocity timer apps.apple.com/gb/app/reciprocity-timer/id459691262

Great video Jonathan. I'm intrigued by your tripod head - what do you attach the quick release plate to? Is that a ball head you are using?
Cool video man! Love how straight forward this video is and I can’t get enough of Acros. What’s the viewfinder app you used called?
I think it’s just called viewfinder, check the description for a link
This was a really good video Jonathon. well done. A versatile film. Does the law in England or local object to you using a tripod?
No it's more just me not wanting to block the pavements
Great to see you back ! Do you still have your Pentax 67 ?
No I swapped it out for a Hasselblad 503cx
@@JonathanNotley any regrets ? I have the 500CM and love it . Nice having a digital back for it too . I just cant bring myself to let go of the 67 /105 combo .
I wish I’d kept both but I felt the modularity of the Blad was worth it
What APP did you use for the compensation calculation? That looks slick!!!!
Check the pinned comment for a link, it’s called ‘reciprocity calculator’
What app did you use?
What are the apps that you are using?
Have you considered using an umbrella over you and camera during long exposure in the rain?
I probably should but usually I’ll just go as far as leaning over it with my coat. I normally use both hands for setup (e.g. camera onto tripod or lee filter holder onto Bay60) so I’d have to keep popping up the umbrella then stowing it.

Slightly less forgiving due to only getting 12 shots per roll but exactly the same in all other regards.

@@JonathanNotley ah nice. Yeah that’s the main reason I’m planning on saving up for one haha. Will be a while tho 🥲
What was that app at 2:05?

@@JonathanNotley - FYI 2:05 is not Viewfinder Preview, it's Reciprocity Timer. Saw it on someone else's video today
Good video, shots at 13:35 and 15:46 are very interesting. I really like the legs on the left side on the 15:46 shot.
