When I saw the image of the material lying in the window at 6 mins . I thought it was a spooky female entity with a small face and the right arm across the body showing a tiny hand. Blow it up and it disappears. Maybe I watch too many Hammer House of Horror films. Nice video I enjoyed this. Regards Jake E.
I frequently have the opposite issue, I lug around up to 5 cameras thinking I can test them out. My best trips are just two cameras, one I know well, know is reliable, and one for fun or experiment.
Yea I used to do the same. Later I got to the point where I realised carrying all that gear and not knowing which to shoot took away the fun for me a bit. Two is my go to.
Adam, what is WRONG with you? The b/w photographs you thought were "severely underexposed" are perfectly fine. They are the kind of exposures that I often strive for in my b/w work. Even on my MacBook Air display, I see beautiful, subtle shadow details on the side of the tractor at 2:39. In the image at 1:58, the tonal modeling inside that wedge of black across the bottom is less apparent, but definitely present - and I'm pretty sure that nothing on the ground in that area was as meaningful as the black field itself counterpoised against the gray sky. It's good to be self-critical, but it's also good to recognize when you do good work. By the way, if you can find a way to scan your own negatives, I think you'll find that you can come much closer to the images you envision - or even better than what you envisioned. The scan is critical, and no one else can do it as well as you can.
Agreed. Doing your own scans is definitely the way to go. Especially if you want more control on the final outcome. Currently working on getting my scanning setup. Recognising when/if I do good work is definitely something I need to work on. Thanks for watching the video!
When I shoot with medium format or large format film cameras, I usually also carry a compact digital camera for taking tests shots to help me with composition and exposure.

Thanks for watching. That is definitely a great thing to do! Sadly I always forget to do that.
Those cameras are sick! I just got a Leica M4 and hoping to get a Hasselblad one day
Thanks! Same here. The 500 series Hasselblad is definitely on the list.
OOF!
