Great scenery again Hashem, your video production is excellent as always and now I am really looking forward to your next video on the 'urth' camera backpacks.
I love Urth filters, they used to be Gobe brand. High quality glass and good packaging. I have 2 variable ND and use them for portraits, when there's too much light. I'm not sure how to explain, they add a noticeable tint to the images but in a good way. That's what I see in digital photos at least.
I really like using half graduated filters.. ND for color, and for black & white, half grad yellow and orange ones.. red if the clouds are dramatic and call for it. Full variable ND filters can be a bit tricky for still photography, but wonderful for video, in my opinion anyway. Thanks for this video!
Hey Hashem, fellow film photographer from Melbourne. Have been watching your videos for a while, but have really noticed an increase in the quality of your recent vids, particularly your insights and confidence when speaking. Keep it up. I'd love to see you make a vid on night time shooting with the MA, and as a challenge, without a light meter.
As always, wonderful video, Hashem!! I love NZ sooo much! We went on a family holiday in June/July and I shot some film panoramas! I regularly use ND and grad ND filters, but just for landscape shooting. The portraits you shot with the ND filter were beautiful!
Great video man! This was such a good way to work with a brand to create content that is much more useful than just watching a review. This is how I want to make partnered content moving forward on my channel.
hello, i am new to photography, an dumb enough to start with film camera. right after i tried shooting on the beach, i found out i do need ND filter for portraits However everywhere i search, people say you need to recalculate the shutter speed depending on the ND setting. I am wondering if the light metering is done through the lens (i'm using canon av1, SLR), why do i need to recalculate? or the calculation thing is for the manual mode or for people using hand held light meter? Thanks a lot.
Hey, your instincts are correct; if the metering is done through the lens then it is accounting for the ND filter. Some people like to add a bit of overexposure beyond that (which can be good to do anyway with negative film).
Now I'm sitting here wondering why I'm not using step up/down rings and one size of filters? I'm looking at multiple stacks of them in at least 5 different sizes. Where would it get you in trouble? I assume you choose the largest size filters you own and step down from there? Thanks for the video. I'm a fan of URTH. Good gear all around.
First thing, did someone get a new fancy camera (I later noticed the new Canon EOS camera in the b-roll, ha)? The image quality in this video, very nice! The production of the filming and edit too, nice one, Hashem (and Sarah?)👏Initially, I didn't click on the video when it just looked like a standard gear review, but if I see it's you enough I always check it out eventually and to my surprise, it showcases some 'street' portraits and more of a personable visual demonstrative walkthrough take on the more common, boring 'here's how the gear looks like and here's what it does' in a studio type videos. If I was the sponsor, I'd be very happy with this, showcased the product really well and was also very informative for those who haven't used ND's before. I'm enjoying these videos where you have that same doco tv show feeling that was present in that previous desert vid you did. Look forward to the next one 👍
I have a query. I'm hoping you can help me with that. I've seen people photograph rainbows and their photos come out so vibrant. When I tried the same, the colors were bleh, could barely see the rainbow. Why was that, do people use ND Filters for that? Or some other kind? Is it maybe done during post-processing (in digital photography)? I understand you talked with regards to film photography here, and I'm asking w.r.t. digital photography, but I'm hoping you can help me understand. I'm a complete amateur and have juust come to terms with the exposure triangle 😆 so you can understand my level of skill and understanding. But I'm thoroughly enjoying it and am eager to learn much more, hence asking.

Thank you very much!
Mayyyte, this was mad. The “street” portraits, the landscapes. So good! And so well put together 👏👏
Thanks man!

Thanks very much! I like that idea, have been thinking of doing something like it (perhaps with my last roll of Natura 1600)

Thank you! Yeah it's such a great place 😁
Elucidating and thorough video as always, thanks Hashem!
My pleasure!

Thanks man! I'm quite happy with it too 🙂

should we use nd and uv filter at the same time? thanks bro!
Can you please explain how to use the quick rewind level on the MA that you have in your other vids? Do I just slip it on? Thanks

A polarising filter might be better for rainbows, but yeah I'm sure editing has a part to play! Also depends heavily on the actual rainbow 😁
@@pushingfilm thank you so much.
Shame you didn’t see Aoraki/Mt Cook… it’s right in front of you!
We did! This video may not have shown everything during our time there :-)
4:30 He was _all_ears… ;-)
