    Thanks for the well-produced tour of Maine and (for me) reminisces (minus the smell of the sea and the bait shacks). I worked there for a dozen years early in my newspaper career and now wish I had had a 645 at the time. My low pay only allowed for Nikon gear.
    Now I have a M645 and will have to be content with shooting in Montana, which is fine.

    Absolutely beautiful imagery, per usual! Really lovely work with the colors transitioning between digital and the different film shots. Your vids are always inspiring and just an all-around joy to watch. I'm adding Maine to the must-visit list!

    Excellent video. Thanks for the share. But Laeklyn's "MTV Cribs" monologue stole the show. Kudos on a great trip, and great project.

      Thanks for watching, Greg! I agree - she’s definitely the star of the show here. I’m just here to take photos 😂
      Appreciate it though! I’m writing a script for a video on iPhone photography, and while doing some research, I found an article highlighting your Instagram. Excellent work!

    Wow great photos, I love the look of Kodak Gold, a beautiful video, and I gotta say that 80mm f1.9 is pretty impressive without that clinical edge, how was the lens over all to shoot with? My Mamiya go to lens is the 110mm f2.8 with my Pro TL set up.

    • @Christopher_Ray
      @Christopher_Ray  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks, Clarhett! Kodak Gold 200 was definitely the MVP for me on this trip. It was my first time shooting it, and I absolutely LOVED every single image I got back from that roll.
      As far as the lens, I really love it. It’s super bright, and has some excellent sharpness. It’s my favorite focal length to shoot with, as well. I’m definitely interested in picking up that 110mm!

      @@Christopher_Ray So I've now watched this video 4 times, and its the second video in a 12 hour cycle that unexpectedly shown a light on Maine, and both were exceptional. the other video titled - Sweet Life, shot by - the essential craftsmen, is more about carpentry, worth a peek. So, thanks to you, I finally ordered a 80mm 1.9 on etubeBay needs work, but it should be worthwhile adventure. The only thing left is to book the tickets to Maine...lol

    Damn, the person reading Allen Ginsberg's Howl while riding the ferry is a vibe. It looks like a lovely trip dude, and I'm glad you and your lady were able to take it together. I think my partner and I are due for one ourselves. Acadia National Park looks incredible. I have a goal to go to all the national parks one day--did you know there are 63 national parks in the US, and 9 of them are in California? We've got the most 😉As for your photos, they are great dude. I love the photos at 2:34, 9:01, and 12:00. I've never shot medium format, and probably wont for awhile, but it made me miss shooting full frame on my 5D Mkii. Might have to pick one up again, or even the RP if it ever gets low enough. Great work as always man.

    • @Christopher_Ray
      @Christopher_Ray  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha, oh I know CA is hogging all of the national parks! You guys should definitely visit, man. It’s the perfect mix of mountains, trees, and beach all in one park. It’s beautiful.
      I’ve gotta admit; I’ve had my eye on some FF cameras (coughSONYcough) because you can’t deny that look and image quality. And thanks man, I’m looking to go into some more film content in the future, in addition to Fuji stuff.
      This month has put a little wrench in my content schedule, but I’ll be back on track soon enough! Appreciate you, bro! ✌️
