Happy to see you back at it!! I gotta say you make me try harder out there, video content and image wise your at the level I hope to be. Can’t wait to see the coming videos!
Hey Joseph - Thats very kind of you to say my friend. Much appreciated. We all have room for improvement = ) The fun part is the practice. Kind regards. Ewan
Thanks for the plug buddy! Where do I start! Boy have you made a commitment there and you'd better stick to it or I'm going to send the RUclips police out to get you...nine films it is! I love watching your videos as they are always so calming to watch and listen to, like a tonic...The Tonic of Wildness! Now theres a title! You can't help but come away with a feeling of appreciation for the outdoors and nature with the mix of great narration and carefully thought out visuals. That Phase 1 is a beast for sure but it left me feeling a bit cold. That price tag is out of range for the vast majority of folk and seems disproportionate when you think that at the end of the day, it's just a camera and will depreciate in value, unlike a piece of fine art that will eventually become a worthy investment. I sincerely hope that Brett can make it pay for itself! What I will say is this, it made the Pentax look like a Ford Fiesta but hey, they are collectable now! I really like all of the images, but the surpriser was the pine needles. Not your style at all but it just goes to show, once you learn to see with your "eyes wide open", anything in nature is on the table. Great film :-)
Thanks Simon, You are more than welcome, and as i said, it was your vid that spurred me on! It was actually a really interesting (but difficult) process for me. The Phase one - a beast indeed, and people who buy these things will be offset through businesses to depreciate and reduce tax paid, unlike privateers buying one. I enjoyed the pine needle image too, and had a Simon Booth feel about it! "Eyes wide open" indeed. 8 )
Just to echo what Simon has so perfectly said! Really great to see you back on the small screen Ewan. Your channel is one of my guilty pleasures, the narrative/storytelling of your video/production is something I greatly admire and what I'm trying to skill myself up on too. Really an enjoyable watch from start to finish, where did that 20mins go! :)
@@GeoffMoorePhotography - Many thanks. I am glad all the effort doesnt go to waste. They take me ages to put the complex timelines together.

Not only do you deliver great content, you also do this with real passion and sincerity, which makes for an excellent viewing experience, please keep making these vlogs, they are inspirational and I am sure this channel will continue to grow. Look forward to the next one, have a good day🙂
Thanks very much Anthony. Ive always considered this as a boutique channel, as i've never been able to work out the Algorithms for YT. I'll keep plugging away, and it comments like yours that keep me going with... cause its jolly hard work! Regards, Ewan
Hi David. I dont think i cold ever justify it... in fact i know i couldn't, but yes what a piece of kit indeed. It a focus automated stacking motors in side which you cna pre programme and off it goes. It make noises like a bird. Its incredible! Can a camera resolve too much detail though?
Thanks Adrian. I have some plans which should make me a little more reliable over the next 6 months or so. I havent really even been looking at vids either. Must have a look at your latest ones too. Ill do that today! Regards, Ewan
Welcome back stranger. Cool video and the Phase One was a bit of a surprise. I really liked the last photo. I’ve always overlooked the blue pool spot but your photo with the S curve looked great.
Hey Stephen. Hope you are well mate. Its a hard place to shoot. Yeah, my little 645Z was paltry by comparison. LOL Its a lovely spot, especially on a non busy day! Speak soon. Ewan
As per usual Ewan a pleasure to listen to and watch, You just seem to have a way about you in your photography, yes it fits you like a glove please please keep shooting and sharing.
Thanks Rob, I hope you are well too. I have really gone and committed myself to several vlogs over the next few months huh! I just need to do them now! Be well, Ewan
Hi Martin. Many thanks indeed. Despite really struggling with the concept of the topic - i actually really enjoyed stringing this together in post, to tell a story! You are welcome, and trust that you are well!. Regards Ewan
Hey Ewan, it's great to see you back inspiring us to get out and shoot. Phase ONE..... they are an amazing piece of equipment but far out of reach financially for most of us (unless we sell our house). I know Ken Duncan has been using one for a few years and recently he has been photographing wild life. I've see some of his large prints in his gallery from that camera and they are AMAZING. I love your approach in this episode, no plan, I also find that difficult to do and it often prevents me from going out at all. The last time I was out seriously was in February in Lofoten (what an amazing place that is).I was also planning to go to NZ late July/August -South island to get in amongst the snow & mountains......maybe 2021!? I love the 3 images you shared, all different in approach but all beautifully captured. Looking forward to seeing more in the next few months. Cheers Phil
HI Phil - yep, I had never seen one before and have ruled them out when looking for new kit, based on price. The files are quite incredible indeed and the way that they print - outstanding. I really, really really want to go to Lofoten. You should come with me net year. Goodness knows what Ill have planned. Nice to hear form you Phil! Ewan
@@EwanDunsmuirImages I'd love to go back there one day (before my time is up LOL). In the meantime we have Australia and NZ when we can travel again. Cheers, have a great week!
Hi Ewan: I am new to your channel. I really liked your candid comments regarding planning or the lack-thereof in this video. My wife and I have had the very good fortune to spend 4 days in Auckland in April 2019 shortly after we retired. We are planning on coming back again, but we are off your to homeland in September 2021 to spend some time in Glen Coe and the Isle of Sky. Keep safe and cheers. . .

Great to see you back my friend. Firstly , this video was a lovely way to start my day. Therapeutic, calming, and beautiful. You excel in your field and your filmmaking skills have become outstanding to boot. Thoroughly enjoyable watch from start to finish and looking forward to the next films already.
Awesome video! I think in Rotorua we have such easy access to the Whaka forest we sometimes forget what a special place it is and how lucky we are to have it so close. Thanks for reminding me 🙂
Welcome back Ewan...thoroughly enjoyed watching this and sounds like you've some really exciting plans for the next few months which I'm looking forward to immensely. Beautiful images at the end of the vlog.
Loved the video Ewan and as usual nice images. the cost of the Phase One blew me away. I think my wife would divorce me if I asked for one of those toys...LOL. I don't plan my shoots I just go out and enjoy the outdoors with no expectations. Sometimes I don't even bother getting the camera out and just enjoy the moment. other times my may just shoot away. As I have gotten older I have tended to shift from grand vistas, (which I still take now and then) and moved towards the more intimate landscapes. I think It reinforces that sense of connection with the landscape and nature. I will look forward to your upcoming videos. Take care and stay safe.
Thanks John. Yes, they certainly are for the purist and those with marital affairs in order! I must actually try and do this more often as i actually really enjoyed it, which i hope came across in the relaxed, non rushed delivery! Me in my happy place! Take care mate. Ewan
And that''s how you put together a RUclips video! Brilliant work Ewan. H and I have just spent the last 30 mins scraping ourselves back up off the floor after looking up the price of the PhaseOne! It must be quite something. Really excited to hear about your plans for the next few months for RUclips, in particular, the video series examining why we do photography sounds right up our street. It must have been difficult not having a plan (that's pretty much how I work most of the time!) but the images were superb, particularly liked the one of the forest floor. S.
LOL, Thanks very much Sam. It took ages to put together and very nearly had a disaster right at the very end, so this one, is actually the preciously saved one, and not the final final version, as with my fully adjusted one, the sound files all became corrupted. Re the plans for the vids... i do hope i described it properly and you aint disappointed! The Phase One - yeah... that is a big price tag for what is a camera at the end of the day. Take care, Ewan
@@EwanDunsmuirImages Ah how frustrating, I never would have noticed though! I'm sure we won't be disappointed, looking forward to the vids! We've just been booking our Scotland tour for the autumn, hopefully all will go to plan and we will have some more videos to share as well later in the year. S.
Morning Ewan, great to see you back filming YT video. Those Redwoods are stunning and great to see a phase one in action .. your reaction when seeing the detail then the exhale of breath when Brett said the price, priceless!! As you panned through the scene of the blue pool I was thinking, yes you need to click the shutter - cracking images but that pool shot was a stunner. Was hoping you might have showed us a an example of the images Brett got. ATtb Al. PS Lovely lighting set up on your studio talking head pieces.
Thanks Alan. That was a funny moment. I knew they were expensive, but had no idea. = D Ill maybe do another shoot with Brett some other time when he is fully au fait with it an we can compare files. He has just sent me a RAW file... and oh my goodness. 400MB of goodness actually! Cheers Al. Ewan
Hi Ewan, thank you, I discovered your channel about 3 months ago and recently went to Queenstown and shot quite possibly the best 3 images of a nearly 40 year obsession thanks to your inspiration. Great images as always. Cheers
Hi Tony. Many thanks. Ill have ot start giving the next one soem serious consideration, now that ive committed to it, out loud! Maybe shouldve used my inside voice! LOL. Hope you are well! Regards, Ewan
Great to see your back at it, hope all is well! Always an inspiration, great video! I for one am a non-planner, but whatever someone chooses, I agree, it’s important they have a good time.
Back after too long. Ive actually missed making them. Its easy to choose not to, as they are complicated t put together. I think these generally take me about 15 hours to construct in Final Cut. Ill get back onto it though! Cheers Christopher.
Great one Ewan. I had similar difficulty when I was there on my shoot. There is just so much to look at, that it can get hard to focus on what to photograph. I should make more video too... It's been to long. Thanks for creating one for us.
Hi Javier, was going to message you to thank you for the use if the drone footage. I have credited you in the description. You can see why i wanted to use it - it works really well. Thanks again. Ewan
Strange that you've not a big background in tree photography LOL Anyway beautiful trees and that water is great, reminds me of the water colours at the mud pools. The future plans sound awesome but please tell us Brett made it out of the forest OK, The Rotorua Police haven't announced they found a man matching his description, face down in a pool, with a Pentax 645Z!?
LOL - Ive missed your sense of humour Andrew. Ehhh... no, Brett made it out safe and well and he was in fact back in there today. Yes, imagine me and trees! (No trees in Orkney for those who didnt know (They all blew away)) Kind regards Andrew. Ewan
Hey John, I know right!? There is a well known Photographer called Paul Reiffer, who also used the Phase One for his landscapes and he does Panoramas with them! Its a serious piece of kit though! Regards, Ewan
Nice video. But look, whatever the IQ4 is fantastic and so on .. It is deadly EXPENSIVE and no one on the globe can persuade me that it deserves the price, when you talk about $55k or more it is unbelievable, and it makes this product as a hype or just a thematic or something in the dreams! They must be much logical and fair about being so arrogant of their product, for my best estimations, this piece of so bulcky art must be somewhere between $(8000 to 10000) and that is for the largest full medium format sensor, that is is 2.7times the ordinary full frame which the IQ4 is the one of two examples out there.
Hi Eric - I agree, the Phase One camera is an incredibly top end and niche part of the industry being out of reach of all but a few of people. They do however have a very niche sector of the market and i know that for original artwork to be reproduced and printed extremely large as many artists will commission for exhibitions, it requires something of this magnitude for reproduction and up close viewing distances at 12880DPi. The price though - yes, you are right - They probably justify it, as the sometimes get it! Its a lot of money though. I know that I couldnt reproduce the replication work with my CMOS medium format sensor. Id maybe rather have a Hasselblad and a swimming pool instead though! Thanks for your interaction. Regards Ewan
@@EwanDunsmuirImages Hi, I agree, but the Hasselblad is expensive, for the same size sensor, even it is 100Mp. The smaller sized medium format won't be a huge transition from full frames. The printing you talked a bout is rare, the 12880DPI.
@@farisalfaris8120 . I think the 44/33 sensor on mfd which is in all the CMOS based MF system (X1D/ 50C/ GFX) is about 1.7 bigger than the FF sensor, which makes a fair bit of difference when you print at 1.5 - 2m The printing is rare indeed, but think that almost a museum curator requirement when exhibiting in National Galleries particularly, which is probably the type of Photographers who buy these things. Its all very intriguing though, huh!
@@farisalfaris8120 Absolutley, you can do bill boards with you phone (shot with your iphone 8 project) but even the CMOS 51.4MP not to 'curator' standards, but fortunately, thats not what i specialise in. That sensor however , IS incredible and readily available now, which makes it even better! YUSSSS for market competition! = )
