Photographing Great Light, But Which Camera Will Work Best?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- Fuji X-T3 crop sensor or Hasselblad 501cm medium format film camera? That was the decision I was faced with when on a Landscape Photography trip in Iceland. I think that image quality is more about timing and the subject matter within the photograph rather than the resolution of the camera used to capture it. In this video I shoot the same scene with both cameras; Fuji X-T3 and the 501cm loaded with Fuji Velvia 50.

Hehe, I recognize that frantic approach when the light happens :)
There are several RUclipsrs that post "long" videos that are just unwatchable sometimes..
And then there are others like Sean Tucker and Paul C Smith that are a joy to watch even if they were talking for an entire hour..
You fortunately belong in the 2nd group..
Your videos are always interesting to watch..
Love your work!!!!
Just keep them coming 😁 🙌🏻
I've been watching Tom for so long now, he's content is fantastic but he does waffle on at times.
You and I have a very different definition of “ok”. That photo is gorgeous.
Ok, that Velvia shot is absolutely stunning!
Have to agree with that. Gorgeous! ❤️❤️❤️
I think that velvia shot really captured the loneliness and starkness of the landscape. Just a quality shot. Thank you for the content.
That velvia shot is hauntingly beautiful! Amazing!!!
I have a request, would you make a video about your scanning and color correcting proces? I struggle with getting the right colors while scanning my negatives. Which makes for a very inconsistent workflow and results. Your shots look absolutely wonderful! Take care
Same here.
Seconded :)
Third-Ed please
Try Negative lab pro with dng (raw) scan from your flat bed, or you can use your camera raw file.
Enjoyed it as always Tom.. but please stop describing film as temperamental or unpredictable. Velvia is unforgiving and requires near perfect exposure.. but it's not fickle. Metered properly and well developed, it'll give perfectly reliable results. If anything is unpredictable.. it's your metering, sorry bro. :D not suggesting it's easy to meter perfectly reliably.. we're all working at it. :)
thomas is so hard on the the film setup. poor hasselblad doesn't know what love is LOL
I’ve been following you on RUclips for 3 years now and I’m happy to see your development in photography. Thank you for sharing Thomas!
I love how every video of yours tells a nice little story, not too short and not too long
I personally found that with square format, more negative space is better. Meaning, less ground, more sky. But that's just me :)
Yo! Maybe split the difference and add in a bit of sky at the expense of the land to have the river running closer to the bottom of the frame.
That said, I have no idea how you get such gorgeous square format shots. I usually hate square crops.
Yo? I didn't mean to write that...
Gosh, amazing photos, good light ! Congrats Tom, loved all images
There's something so satisfying about actual film. Knowing you can't just take as many as necessary until you get it right , and that when you do get it right the pure joy.
Wonderful picture
Loved the Velvia shot! I bought your book and I absolutely love it! It is fantastic! I love the stories that you tell that you don’t necessarily hear about in the video! Keep up the great work!
Honestly love your videos man! Been subscribed to you for about a year now and I’ve learnt so much. But you’ve also completely rekindled my desire to get out shooting
You are a great photographer. Live in the moment with your photography and stop worrying so much about what people think.
I am loving your Iceland series, amazing ! looking forward to the next one.
It is really good to see you enjoying what you are doing again. Great moment, thx for sharing.
So enjoyable and such great images! Thanks for this video!
I found myself behind the monitor saying "take the shot, do it, don't vlog, take the shot!!" 🤣
Once again excellent Thomas
YES! You did get the shot, well done TH. I do love your enthusiasm and excitement of what you do. I'm enjoying watching Alister and Adam's VLOG episodes as well, great diversity but with a unified core love og the art of photography. I need some of that enthusiasm, Cheers.
Landscape photographers always go through these once in awhile and sometimes the results are great 👍🏻.
I appreciate your commitment to the channel and putting out content for us to be entertained.
Wowwww. What a great view! Wonderfully shot! 👋👋👋
That last Velvia shot rules!!!! The blues in the mountain shadows and the gold!!! Such a Velvia win!!! Excellent metering too!
Fantastic video and excellent shots. I am really enjoying this series. Cheers, Duade
Your experience and feel is really inspirational for me to be patient and willing to build on my own experience and feel. And to prove this the last shot on velvia was stunning
Really enjoying watching you on this film discovery journey mate .. loved the images .. one question.. do you do any post processing on the digitisation of the film image when putting it into the video ?
That last one is really stunning.
I loved all of your images this time, especially with good light kicking off. I have always been amazed by how knowledge of the film choices available will effect the viability of images. Great choices.
love this vlog its always happens you leave the light comes then its a mad rush . excellent video thomas
I do remember fondly using Fuji Velvia back in the 90's - the reds, blues and greens on my photos from USA & NZ were fantastic but exposure was hit and miss due to my lack of skill. As I'm just an enthusiast I'd not go back from digital but I can see it would have an attraction to a Pro though.
That hasselblad image carry’s you soul to tranquility
You did it. Man, you did it. That Velvia shot is wonderful!
Found this channel the other. Such fantastic content.
I've been to Iceland before but missed out on all of this because of my lack of skill for hiking and photography. Absolutely can't wait to go back.
Beautiful final image. Finished the vlog of a treat.
Hi Tom. Fantastic video, as always! I was wondering, how would the actual velvia film shot compare to the velvia film simulation jpg version on the X-T3? I always shoot raw, but in this case I thought it would be an interesting and relevant comparison perhaps?
The final image is an absolute keeper! Well done!
final image came out fantastic!
Surpassed all expectations of that film shot.
Stunning mate. More of the same please.
Film will always produce something with more depth as the emulsion has a physical thickness to it. This is the reason it is better, for the most part, to over-expose film images; the more the film is exposed, the thicker the negative in that area, thus creating something with actual depth. If you're searching for the reason film just looks different, this is the reason.
There is certainly a time and a place for both film and digital. As you said though, it doesn't really matter what camera you shoot with as long as what you are doing is making you happy.
Awww My homeland....💕💕💕 great video. Thanks for sharing
Another great video as usual, good to see you made it into the Daily Mail today.
You make your expedition very interesting and fun. Your commentary is enjoyable and edifying 👍👍👍👍👍
1. Reminds me of how much more discipline is needed with film cameras (I used to shoot on an Olympus OM1 - great camera - & develop & print my own B&W - happy days). 2. Received your book (at last - postal delays getting to Australia). Loving it - the whole thing is quality 👍👏
Incredible Velvia composition... cheers, be safe... 🇨🇱
Nice article in the mail online about your book Tom, good stuff.
Nothing throws me off quite like a Thomas Heaton video not ending with “bye for now”.
Love Infinity Ripple, especially this one, a favourite track of mine for timelapse.
Amazing shots! Love it, best regards.
Fantastic images and footage that you have come away with. 👍🙂
Thanks. Glad you got away.
Well done, once again. Keep it up 👏🏻🔥
Looks like such an awesome place, I hope I'll be able to visit one day and enjoy it as well.
Velvia shot came out incredible. Love it and the process and craft behind it is a huge part of the process. Congrats mate! Long live film.
Your videos make me very happy
I can never get enough of looking down at an image through medium format ground glass!
Always wonderful shots.
Being new to landscape photography I've no idea about using film, so I'm loving seeing you use the hasselblad in the field. Would be great to see you develop the images if that's what you do yourself. Fantastic image at the end. Really enjoying your content 👍
Nice one Thomas , superb video , superb images
Oh Man! Just looking at the velvia shot I was imagining you jumping and saying “Yes! Yes! Yes!” amazing work 👍🏼
I liked the Velvia image. But I think I like the Fuji image better. After you've scanned in your film photos, do you do any additional editing in Lightroom or Photoshop besides cropping?
Yep, Velvia image = perfect. Avid Hasselblad fan and the tense moments, working for the shot brings so much more satisfaction when you hit it perfectly. I also am an avid Fujifilm user and love both systems. Thanks for sharing your work.
Video editing on point in this one Thomas.
Awesome shots, Tom!
I have one 'modern' camera, an EOS-R, and couple of out of date DSLRs [nice ones] and a bunch of truly archaic film cameras - and a bunch of nice-old glass, much of which I inherited from my late father - but some was mine dating back to the 1980s. So, when I head out for the day I take one camera and two or three lenses.
These days I buy the fastest [used] lenses I can afford, half of them are primes: 50mm, 85mm, 130mm. All of my very best fotos come from those prime lenses - they just can do more.
*'Constrains force creativity,'* that is the law. Watching the dogwood trees bloom behind my local supermarket at night last spring under the parking lot lights, it was a real battle between my EF16-35mm F2.8 and the EF 85mm f1.2. One lens won in the end only because it could gather more light, I was taking 26-35 second exposures, I had never done anything like that before, but the results were magical, all of these luminous white blossoms with the 12ft tall, orange, Caterpillar tractor parked in the middle of the lot... Yes! I did not know that existed, but I got it!.
At a certain point you just have to put yourself in the way of magic, and have the right set of tools in your camera bag to photograph it. You just have to be a little patient, if it is not there tonight it might be there tomorrow night - if not you are just SOL. SOL happens a lot too.
That EF85mm f1.2? It weights about *three pounds,* I cary it as often as I can, why?, most of my very best photos have come from that one lens.
great video and awesome photos!
Velvia is how I remember landfall photos and paintings. It is always amazing when it pans out.
Great bit of filmmaking. Couple of great shots.
The Velvia shot looked amazing, as did the other photographs. By the way, I ordered your hardcover book, and I am giving it an enthusiastic thumbs up. 😊
Neat, I enjoy the broad comparison. Fun to have two such different types of cameras to use, especially for less-serious trip like this one with friends. I wonder if the first image would look better with some helpful cropping but they're all such lovely scenes. I'm looking forward to the next video!
Greetings from France
Wishing you well... Truly love your videos.... I was wondering.... Which metering mode do you use on your xt3 for your photos.. Thanks peace
Hearing your discussing side by side of MF and Digital side by side...looking forward to seeing results, but love the process getting there. Velvia 50 was always one of my favorites to shoot with. Now seeing it, yep, as expected, great saturation. Great job sir!
Superb Thomas 👏
Great images of the excited photographer
I like the XT-3 shot and the velvia shot for different reasons. They tell a slightly different story. I not shoot most of my landscape on 4x5 film, not because the camera is better or film is better, but because the limitations and slow work flow make me better.
Looking forward to the next video. I like that you show us the ups and downs and what's going on in your head when you take the shot. We don't always believe in every shot we take, at the moment of taking it, but sometimes we just have to trust our gut and take the shot anyway.
Now you know what the fuss about a Hasselblad and Velvia combination is all about. Stunning shot.
What primary camera do you use fof landcsapes Thomas?
Loved the velvia image! Great video.
That's some old-timey stuff there. lol Love it!
I feel if I was to google storyteller, your face would pop up ! Haha Amazing video and shots as always. That last velvia shot 😍
Hi Thomas. I love the video, and thanks for using the Hasselblad! As a fellow Hassy owner, I learned the hard way that when taking longer exposures, the cable release needs to be depressed until the shutter in the lens has run its course, unlike traditional 35mm camera lenses that will keep the shutter open to its predetermined interval regardless of how long the shutter button was depressed. I think it is just a quirk with this cameras. But the resulting images are so worth the idiosyncrasy. Looking forward to the next video!
If you're going to shoot color film you should add a couple 81A, 81B warming filters to your kit. Don't be afraid to take any shot. It pays homage to the film gods! Nice work as always!!
Thomas leaving on the edge :), reminds me of your very early camping videos.
You agree with me now, elite level film camera haha great video as always. Deep respect for film as it paved the way forward. I was around for the film era but tbh I dont have found memories of it like you do but I respect it :)
how did you meter light when shooting with film?
Excellent vlog, very amusing. The first shot with the stream seemed to look much better in the viewfinder where its reversed.
Really like the square image at the beginning. Can't go wrong with portra
Beautiful indeed! I commented after Adam Gibbs’ recent video that it is really nice to see somewhere else in Iceland than the shot-over coastal sites.
Thomas, thank you for your content. I am very interested in the location (even just the country) you have used in this video.
I blinked and missed you switch to film. Some amazing stuff, but you are right, very few people will look at a shot and think about what it was shot on, they will look at the image and story behind it.
Stunning velvia shot
I think I'm usually drawn to photos not taken on film, however in this instance, I REALLY love the shot you took on your Hasselblad. I think film was definitely the perfect medium for this composition
You've convinced me to try film again, 17 years after I went digital, I can't afford A Hass, looking at some of the original Canon slr cameras, mid 90s onward. Thanks again Tom for a great video.
Just got a Kiev 80 recently. It's a copy of a Hasselblad but from the Soviet Union. Can be unreliable but I got mine for 250 quid!
I've got a Bronica ETRS for medium format and couldn't recommend it enough; great value in comparison to other 6 x 4.5 (£300 with a lens if you're lucky)
Unless you need the agility for street or action, I'd go MF. Mamiya and Bronica are both affordable and built like brick outhouses. My first roll of medium format film blew my mind when I got it back from the lab.
@@JP-gb9cd thanks for the recommendations JP, I'm gonna take my time though, mmm medium or 35mm, I don't know yet.
@@TarrelScot thanks for your comments Mark, I've considered Mamiya before, but I'm still attracted to Canon, as I have a Canon Dslr, I can use EF lenses on the Dslr too, cheers.
As a Fuji fan I love that shot but as a film fan I absolutely love that shot. Great video mate love it.
wow tom that last image was stunning
Thomas you are now a star, featured article in the daily mail
The Velvia shot looks great. It would be nice to see it next to the X-T3 shot. Keep up the great work. Thanks
Gorgeous image Tom.
Hey Thomas, have you looked up FujiXWeekly's portra160 film simulation for the Fuji X series? Would be interesting to shoot it digitally w the film sim on the XT3
Absolutely beautiful 😍
