You did great man. The golden hour shots looked the best. The sunlight was captured perfectly.
Thanks so much :)
I love the tractor shot and I think you're off to a great start. Let's hope the next 16 days go just as smooth.
I've been carrying the 6x7 with a 55, 135 and 200 plus a tripod for days on no problem. The trick is to get a proper hiking backpack and a camera insert, instead of any of those photography bags which are designed to make the camera comfortable, not the one carrying it.
Thanks for the tip. I'll be honest I've never been a fan of backpacks. But maybe I should suck it up at some point.
i know im randomly asking but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me!
@Jared Mekhi Instablaster ;)
@Jayden Ayaan I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out atm.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Jayden Ayaan it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my account!
Nice, you un-buggered the flower. Really like the early morning fog.
Thanks Ken, I was shocked!
Quite brave of you to do a vid like that, I enjoyed it so much, especially that you were using my favourite colour film, Velvia. It really is the Prince of colour. The colour from your shots just jumped out, quite beautiful. Thank you.
Awesome official start! I love Velvia 100. I dismissed it forever, but I'm glad I decided to give it a go. Those colors are awesome.
Thanks Jamie. I will shoot with it again!
Always a special moment when you open the Paterson tank. But its never a waste of time to try something new. Nice shots.
Thanks Jan :)
I love to see more analog photographers sharing they're photo adventures and creating film community on TH-cam! Plus the retro vibe music is completely my jam! Instant Sub!
Thanks for the kind words Marek!
Unbelievable light at the beginning. It’s not fair. We never get this kind of light here in London 😭
Sorry :(
The idea of using the salad spinner is to spin the reel so centrifugal force will draw beaded water down and off the film. Therefore the reel goes in the spinner sideways so water runs down the film and out/off the bottom (or top) of the reel toward the side of the spinner. Nice images and classic Velvia color cast.
Thanks for the suggestion and I don't think the reel will stay on its side. The drops must also go up/down and out as well because they come out practically dry.
Amazing shots, Azriel! I just love slides.
If I may add, you nailed the feel for the new marathon. You even brought back the highlights song.
80s music is on my blood. In high school (1997) people thought I was weird for the love of the music, but now EVERYONE loves it :P
I just love synthy goodness.
@@AzrielKnight now everyone is riding that vaporwave haha.
I've also noticed you've got some GTA Vice City inspiration in there, am I crazy or not?
That sunrise over the field is amazing. the depth, color and composition is awesome!
Thank you so much :)
The last time I shot E6 was 18 years ago.
I was asked by a Christian friend of mine to do a portrait shoot of him and his dog for his book cover. I thought about film stock for it and settled for Fujichrome Astia for skin tones, I knew about the characteristics of Provia and Velvia but Fuji in their literature were saying Astia 100 so I bought a box of 5 rolls of 120.
It had been my 40th birthday and I was given a fabulous camera a Bronica S2A outfit comprising of the camera itself with a 80mm f2.4 and one spare back. I had also bought a Gossen Lunasix 3 The photographs shot wide open should never have been in focus because untoward to me I later found out through reading a photographic magazine that back in the 70's when these cameras first came out they got bad reviews. It turned out that the focusing screens were held in place by an organic glue and while the cameras sat on the shelves of the camera shops the glue would disintegrate and of course there was a focus shift in the viewfinder that didn't correspond to the film plane. No wonder there were bad reviews!
Amazingly my camera had the very same problem but it must have been by an act of God my images were tack sharp. Incidentally.
The first shot I took out of the five rolls of film in all the locations was used for the book cover and the posters used for the advertising. Fujifilm a great choice!
*Good Video:* The colours in the final photographs are absolutely gorgeous! The compositions are not too bad as well. ;-)
Thank you :)
Great video buddy. That dog you saw is used to keep the coyotes away from the livestock. Very loyal and not needed to be tied up
Hey Dennis :P Let me guess, you know the dog's owner?
Hah, I doubt it but a previous employer had one. Him and Tucker used to play
Amazingly good start!
Thank you Timothy.
the intro animation/whatever is really good. You always kill it with the music choice but the fades and video comp was sick.
Thanks so much!!
this series looks great so far. great photos in this episode
Thanks!
I'm late to this. I'm so excited for this!!!
Hey, thanks for joining us :)
Oooh, been a decade or two since I last shot Velvia 100. I only really use the 50 version. Lovely colours.
The one at 18:45 is wonderful!
That's my wife's favourite as well.
@@AzrielKnight She obviously has great taste!😄
Two thumbs up Azriel...interesting video!
Thank you Steve :)
Wow excellent job!! I was really looking forward to the series! The flowers are awesome
Thanks Carlos!
Gorgeous pictures. Amazing colour. :-)
Thanks Laura!
Now the announcement of the Orwo process actually blew me away, that is the high art of developing. In all honesty, I didn´t expect that from you, although you have surprised me a fiew times already. Count me in for watching the whole episode.
I hope I don't disappoint :)
@@AzrielKnight So do I!
yea the tractor shot is the sauce too. Love the depth in these
Thanks Denis!
that dog at 7:30 😂😂😂 how cute
I know, adorable and scary.
Excellent work as a chrome shooter if you get the exposure correct you can't beat them
I both love and am scared by slide film.
@@AzrielKnight Embrace slide film, once you get comfortable shooting it nothing will frighten you again
Those are some slid shots. I really liked the one of the barn with the branches and leaves in the foreground. One of these days I gotta try some slide film.
I think you should. Thanks Brad :)
Velvia and Provia are great
Agreed!
Oww, excelent work man, can't wait for the next episode!
well done!!
Thank you :)
Great TH-cam Channel compared to other film photography channels, keep making great content :)
Thanks very much :)
That last tractor shot, love the light through the leaves. One of the creek shots you showed in your printfile sleeve had some amazing blues as well!
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who has film jump track now and again. Quite frustrating. I'm itching to get a Sous Vide to try some C-41 vs just sending it out.
Make sure you get a good tub with thick plastic, flexible plastic, not rigid.
I really missed your marathons Great start!
Thank you Julio!
Great day one 👍
Thanks Miles!
Azriel, images are beautiful 😍😍😍
I love slide film and I'm scared to use it, but I'm less scared after this video, so thank you man 👍
Good luck 😉
Mihal
Takes practice but it's not much of a stretch from C-41
I do think, for shapes, forms, textures...art, b&w Film is #1. This is the way. 🙂 For the rest, color. But color film is way expensive nowadays...sad, but true.
Ooooooof! No crazy snowstorms? I want my money back! JK
lol ;)
Let me tell you, slide film takes some practice to really get right- especially velvia.
But when it goes right, slide film is absolutely gorgeous.
How my do'in? :)
@@AzrielKnight Can't call myself an expert shooter, but those looked really nice.
also, bracketing helped when I shot some slide film in heavily shadowed areas.
@@AzrielKnight Just fine, my man, just fine. E-6 is no where near as delicate a process as some suggest. Where that not the case, they'd never get by with compressing the 6 bath E-6 process down to DIY 3-bath kits. Your exposures look dead on the nose.
Yep, Velvia is a tricky film to master. By the late 80s, I began to migrate away from Kodak when they began lengthening the processing time of Kodachrome. I began playing around with Velvia for my travel and landscape work, once I got comfortable with the ”punchy, saturated nature of the film, it soon became one of my favourite Fuji films, along with Provia. That said, Velvia is definitely NOT a film that one would choose for portrait or overall ”people” shots. Landscapes, seascapes, etc, is where this film is at home.
@@cameraman655 Right now, I'm thinking I like 50 and 100 for abandoned places, and stuff like close ups of rust.
Great pictures Azriel! Love them all. I am shooting now 4x5 and have not tried Velvia 100. I have used Provia 100F another slide film version and love its looks in general. I am mainly using it for night long exposures and is a great experience. With Provia 100F reciprocity failure starts with exposures over 4 minutes long. I wonder what is the difference between Velvia 100 slide vs. Provia 100F??.
I am no expert developing with E6 chemicals and what I do not like of it is that the first developer time should be increased 15 seconds each time you develop 2 rolls.
I am looking forward to see the coming videos of this film marathon.
Thanks for the comment Pedro!
Great video! You inspired me to buy a 35mm film camera.
Thanks for the great content.
Watch out, it's addictive. Next thing you know, you'll be buying a medium format and wondering when to make the jump to 4x5! :D
Oh wow, which camera?
Great images! What was the music track during slideshow?
I like so much the flowers, that shot is just perfect. are you used your external light meter for these shots? Or the light meter on the pentax?
External meter, thanks for the question!
Excellent project, thank you!
Your kit doesn't end with Stab?
I shot my first batch of E6 film this summer (Velvia 50 and 100, Kodak E100, Tetenal kit), and I've never learned so much in such a short time. It really sharpened me to only have 4 stops of range to play with. And I began to cherish flat weather.
I know weird eh?
What scanner do you use i am looking to purchase one not sure whether to get a flatbed scanner or designated one for my 35mm although I also shoot 120 only designated scanner for 35mm and 12-o that I know about is 2k so can’t afford it love these videos! This makes me want to try velvia now never tried any Fuji films only c200 which I fell in love with tbh great video
I have an Epson V800, but it's a little overkill. I used an Epson V500 for 11 years till it broke and it was just fine. The new version is the V550 and I hear good things.
I also hear using a DSLR and a macro is a good alternative if you already have those things.
Turned out good! Can you tell us what scanner you used?
Epson V800
I’m partial to Provia but Velvia 100 was/is nearly just as good in my opinion and it’s sad to see another stock disappear… but hey you’re Canadian so you can still buy and shoot! For all us unlucky Americants will you shoot a roll?
Velvia's not available in the US?
@@AzrielKnight Velvia 50 is still available but 100 sadly is not as of September 6th. The epa banned some chemical that Velvia 100 uses like .0003 percent of. The epa even banned commercial development so labs had to stop after the 6th as well. I don’t develop slide at home so I had to send off like 8 rolls shot in under a week. I found a few extra I missed, any good labs in Canada I could send them to?
I wish I could do film more often - enjoy man ;)
Btw, do you have any Agfa Precisa?
I'm a bit curious about that. I think my parents used agfa slide film.
Do you have Kodak Pro Image 100? I suspect I had wrong pH in my C41 kit when I tried it and it turned out with a yellow cast, others liken it between Portra and Ektar.
Sorry I don't. Never heard of it actually. Maybe it's not available in Canada?
hey you have convinced me to develop e6 at home well try it! I was wondering what chemicals do you use?
I use a Unicolor kit.
I also do E6 at home, I buy the Fuji seven bath five litre kit from Freestyle. It’s a bit tricky to get shipped to Canada, but it does a very good job.
@@dale116dot7 yeah I go to freestyle all the time it’s my favorite place to shop definitely gotta check if they have it in stock next time o go in thx.
Hey what film simulation do you think Velvia is based on? Lol jk but comparing the digital film simulations to the real life analog... 'analogs' {pun intended} would be so cool! I'll give you my old Fujifilm X-T1 if you are interested!
Always appreciate the offer to borrow a camera but the shipping costs make me nervous. I believe we already had a chat on IG recently too. Thanks for the support James.
@@AzrielKnight yeah we did but I'd ship it to you of course. Maybe a later project.!
Did you solve yours Pentax 67 problem? What was it?
if you're referring to a weird streak in some of my 6x7 frames, it was actually a developing tank's center column, it had a crease in it the same shape as the leak. Stopped using it, problem went away.
Azriel Knight it was about this. Nice you figure out how to solve...
Thanks!!
