TAKE YOUR TIME - a film photography journey - seeking calmness | MAMIYA 7 + Kodak Portra 800
We were a bit exhausted and had to take a little brake from all these things going on right now…
So we came up with this idea: A very very calm episode.
Just take your time, take a short break from all these things to be done, lean back and come with us on our trip to the Ostsee, Germany.
..
All that noise out there, often louder than your own voice. She always knows what to say, but we often don't hear her. Sometimes we have to take a rest on the side of the road to give her time to breathe.
We searched for that time.
And found it...
..
We took along our beloved point & shoot camera, the Konica Big Mini.
Our travel medium format rangefinder, the Mamiya 7 II.
And our phones equipped with a camera of course.
A bunch of film, like Kodak Portra 400, Kodak Portra 800 and Fujifilm 400 H Pro.
No Cinestill this time, but next time, for sure.

PHOTOGRAPHING CLASSIC CARS ON FILM | Kodak Ultramax 400 & Canon Datematic
มุมมอง 2.9K4 ปีที่แล้ว
For this video we took the Canon Datematic Rangefinder and a roll of Kodak Ultramax 400 for shooting classic cars. No lightings were set up, so it's more a walk around in available light. Hope you enjoy coming with us capturing analog photos. We exposed Kodak Ultramax at ISO / ASA 400, no pushing, no pulling. We love shooting on film.

Shooting the PENTAX 67 | Fuji Pro 400H | Kodak Portra 800
มุมมอง 1.7K4 ปีที่แล้ว
For this video we hiked the Thüringer Wald, Eisenach (Germany). We took the Pentax 67 along with one roll of Fujifilm PRO 400 H and one roll of Kodak Portra 800. We exposed both films at ISO / ASA 800 and added 1.5 extra stops through longer developingtime. We scanned using a Canon EOS 6D and a Tamron 90 mm Macro lens, of course using Negative Lab Pro for converting and colorgrading. We love th...

    No offense, but I don't think you're getting the full potential of this camera and lens. Taking average, flat photos in the forest, in wide shots, with the lens aperture closed down is pointless. You might as well take such photos on a simple Nikon 35mm... The medium format, and especially the Pentax 67, is a tool for skilful use of a shallow depth of field, playing with what is in front and in the background. Also great for portraits.

      Hi Leeroy, Might be a contact Problem of the shutterbutton?: We have 3 Big Minis and one of them only shoots after clicking the left side of the shutterbutton in a specific angle. If the camera seems to capture but you end up with blank images, the leafshutter might be stuck..

      As I know: The LCD is big mini’s achillis.. Small issue, but due to missing spare parts not really economically fixable. ..With some luck you can order a flex cable to repair this by yourself.. but be carefull, these types of cameras do have flash capacitors !

    • @raisinggrain8672
      @raisinggrain8672 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Similar here, but we have three big minis and no Olympus stylus, but an af twin.. I think the big mini is a pretty overlooked camera. but being honest: I don't know why.. it's not that overshaped in terms of design, it's relatively good build, and if it breaks it has done an amazing job... it's a go to and a go for camera :)

    • @michaelsherck5099
      @michaelsherck5099 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@raisinggrain8672 I think that one of the Big Mini's attractions is the lens. Konica made outstanding lenses and my Big Mini's 35mm f/3.5 lens is excellent. Olympus made great lenses, too, but I don't think the ones on my collection of Styluses (Stylii?) are quite as good. The Big Mini's automatic exposure system is, to me, outstanding. Again, the Stylus is good but I think the Big Mini is better. It also fits my average sized hands better, I think. One advantage of the Stylus is that it seems to be better sealed against moisture: it isn't waterproof but drizzle and condensation don't seem to bother it much. Another advantage of my three Styluses is that I gotten dirt cheap: my first (black Stylus) was $5 at a thrift store, the next gold one was new in the box $0.25 at a neighborhood yard sale and the third was given to me. I may have only paid $35 for the Big Mini online years ago but it's hard to beat my investment in Styluses!

    • @raisinggrain8672
      @raisinggrain8672 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, it has auto flash, when the metering tells it should fire with flash, a red light nearby the viewfinder indicates it. But you can turn the flash off or switch it to red eye reduction mode. Whatever mode you are shooting in, turning the camera off resets it to auto flash.
