    Die Acrylshots sehen ja mal richtig cinematisch aus. Effekte praktisch umzusetzen hat immer das besondere Etwas. Man könnte auch sagen "Charakter". Wäre interessant ein Tutorial dafür von dir zu sehen. Auch wenn es viel Arbeit ist denke ich dass es auf RUclips gut ankommen würde ;) Als Hobbyfotograf begrüße ich es auch, wenn Filmmaker Bilder machen. Ich denke Videos zu drehen und Fotos zu schießen ermöglicht unterschiedliche Perspektiven. Dabei ist Fotografie schneller umsetzbar als ein Kurzfilm und sich aktiv mit der Kompositions eines einzelnen "Frames" auseinanderzusetzen sorgt sicher auch für ein bewussteres Arbeiten beim Dreh.

    Great first video. Subscribed.
    I used to use an older Hasselblad (1000F), and I loved the experience for all the reasons you talked about. I still have the camera but unfortunately the shutter mechanism failed and nobody will service old focal plane shutter models any more (not even Hasselblad themselves), so it has become simply an ornament.

  • @leonarddavis8449
    @leonarddavis8449 Год назад

    You could try doing your own developing, you can get some very interesting effects using outdated film and
    using different temperatures and developing times. If used enough you will grow into the Hasselblad.
    Seeing properly exposed 6x6 slides on a light box is a delight.

    • @nicarnold
      @nicarnold  Год назад

      Looking forward to experimenting with that thing. Usually it doesn’t take me very long to start using a tool in a way it’s actually not meant to be used. Already have a couple of ideas but that’s more to do with what’s in front of the lens.

      Used to skate when I was in school. These are my daughters. A friend of mine owns a Mamiya C330 and is getting stellar results but it is quite hard to nail focus with these type of cameras indeed. Metering is crucial. Keep going!

    Funny, I just put out my first video in several years and I have watched all the videos in your intro. I focus on drawing and digital painting, primarily, so I don't at all consider myself a photographer or videographer. That being said, I have a collection of old cameras and vhs/beta camcorders because they're so fun to play around with. Subbed.

    • @nicarnold
      @nicarnold  Год назад +1

      Yeah I mean then again at what point do you consider yourself a professional? Is it when you’re making money with a profession? In that case I probably am a pro camera user. But I am completely self taught like many of us and it feels weird to call myself a pro with no education in photography whatsoever. It’s the beauty of our generation to have access to all of these tools and basically just experiment with it. Glad to have you here!

    To go along with your time playing with acrylics and chemicals you might want to check out “souping” film. It’s where you throw other chemicals into the developing chemistry or pre soak the film in chemicals before processing.
    Just be sure to do this yourself and do not send a souped film to a lab. It can mess up other people’s orders.

    Hi, just found your channel and (excellent) videos. I also have just got my first Hasselblad (500c) and like yourself am hoping to get a more 'hands-on' experience of photography. Having shot mostly digital and 'assisted' 35mm cameras for street photography I am looking to 'slow down' and take a more relaxed, leisurely approach to photography, ok admittedly with more frustration and a lower success rate than with digital, but hey-ho maybe enjoy being more involved with the process.
