  • I drove my camper van to Sweden to buy a Hasselblad Xpan II panoramic film camera. In this video I take my Xpan and my Hasselblad 501cm film cameras on a proper landscape photography shoot in Söderåsen National Park. 10% off your first Squarespace website or domain: www.squarespace.com/heaton

    I’m in shock at how astoundingly good the shots were of the field with a few grand old trees in it. I paused my washing up and just stared open jawed at them…

      @@johnsmith1474 The lighting, balance and color of the image at 13:53 is great. I know it is not an exotic location and that it does not stand up against ths rest of his portfolio images. It's just that most people that shoot film part time (like me) generally do not have many images of that quality. The fact that he was able to generate such a beautiful image just by the roadside (in a location that is new to him even) adds to output's charm.

    I was right about my guesses in the last video about the location! Söderåsen National Park and it's surroundings near the village of Röstånga, including the Oden lake, is an incredibly beautiful area! I'm fortunate to live 40 minutes away by car and I and my wife love to camp with our caravan at the nearby camping about 3-4 times every year!
    I loved the photos, especially the ones with the old oak trees! I have to visit that place and take a few photos myself!

    Hi Thomas. Nice to see you in a place I can relate to. I been to "Söderåsens nationalpark" several times and its always wonderful, not the least in the spring with the beech tree having light green leaves and thousands of white hoppers on the ground. I also got some nice pictures of an heron fishing in the little stream in the bottom of the ravine. A place I definitely recommend for someone visiting the south of Sweden. I think you got some lovely pictures with lovely autumn colors.

    I'm living in Sydney for 4 years while I study (currently 3 years in). The shot of trees in the field at the end with autumn colours and gray skies made me feel so nostalgic for my native Northern Irish scenery. Sydney is beautiful, but there's 'no' autumn here as almost all the trees are evergreen.

    Wow I actually prefer the non-polarized shot as well. The polarized one seems much too warm, while the first was more true-to life with those colors more balanced. What a beautiful spot in the woods! I've certainly taken a spill or two on steep hillsides just like that one, haha. Glad it was only the video cam that took a hit. That pano at 11:00 was absolutely super! And great luck there with the light breaking. Made for an awesome pano at the end! I had similar luck the last morning I went out, but unfortunately the light moved way too fast to video any of it!

    • @iwasapirateonce1639

    There is a foot path that allows you to walk all the way down to and even under the bridge . Might be fun to try one day, when the road takes you back to Sweden .

    If you stick with the photo at 6:57 for a bit you realize that is awesome. Orange on the right, black with reflections in center as it moves over to yellow on the left with a lot of depth. Well Done, a great shoot in my eye .
    BTW it would de interesting to se you experiment with X-Pan for vertical shoots.

    IMO, on the first location I like the non-polarized shot. It is more natural. And the 90mm of the field oak is wonderful!
