Wow! Fantastic evening(s) of colour photography. So many great compositions. It must have felt like you had opened a Pandora's Box of goodies. So satisfying to go out and shoot several rolls and come back with so many winners. The coloured fog creates an ethereal atmosphere which the film picks up beautifully. I liked all of these shots but if I had to pick out three it would be 0.27, 4.26 and 7.23. BTW I thought the waist level finder was particularly useful for this type of night time photography.
Thanks a lot for your comment, I truly appreciate it! I am also glad I came back a second time because the wet ground added another interesting element. I am always a bit worried to make mistakes when shooting long exposures on film, but it's also so rewarding to see when everything works out. And I totally agree that the waist level finder is such a plus when shooting situations like this one. ⚡️
I really like the reflections in the water in the image at 3:22. It's so clean and beautiful. But, I could just watch through the ground glass all day. It's so bright and crisp!
Your viewfinder is mesmerising.. Great video. The carnival and your shooting style/personality mix perfectly together. It puts on display the nice contradiction of the chaotic/colorful world and your thoughtful/measured compositions. Really nice images. Love the atmosphere and the "ghost" who's "dying" to get a balloon har har.
I feel honored by your kind words, Jim, truly appreciate your analytic and eloquently put thoughts! Love those little made-up stories behind images, the ghost is for sure lusting after a balloon 👻🎈
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it! I also think that the pro400h does pretty well in night conditions, would be interesting how it behaves when begin pushed a stop or two - might give that a try in the future. ✌🏼
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it! Those videos are also actually my favorite ones to film, because it’s just how I usually go around and take pictures with the little extra of having a video camera running.
Thanks a lot for your comment, I appreciate it! Photography is not meant to be rational all the time, so I really understand and love when it’s more about the „feel“ or something that’s not as explainable. So thanks a lot :)
Thanks Jae, I appreciate it! I think there are so many similarities between painting and photography that I would love to explore and connect even more in the future ⚡️
I'm impressed with the Portra images, more so than the Fujifilm. It always surprises me just how much light there is at this sort of event. I love shooting in the Christmas Market or using the shop window lights when shooting portraits, so much fun.
Totally agree, I am also always pretty impressed how light those scenes actually are! Your combination of Christmas markets and portraits also sounds really really great! Thanks for your comment :)
The pictures turned out great. 🤩 There sins so many good that one cannot say at all what one likes best. The picture with the balloons is really interesting, you know exactly where you are without showing it directly. Your music selection is also really good 👍
Thank you Dan, I really appreciate your comment! Cool to hear that I am not the only person who liked the composition with the balloons and the umbrella. Getting feedback on the music choice is also something I really appreciate, because it's something I find tricky from time to time. ⚡️
Super cool. I haven’t been on a fair for such along time. You inspired me to try out Fuji Pro400h at night. Didn’t cross my mind yet. Well done Karin. I love to shot of the balloons and umbrella and the jellyfish on acid has something. Lucky accident.
Thanks a lot for your comment, and your opinion, Markus - I appreciate it! Pro400H actually looks pretty clean on night shots. Next time I will maybe try to push it and see how that works. :)
Awesome video and great images! I wouldn’t have even thought to bring my camera to a nighttime carnival. I’d have assumed I’d need a super long shutter speed and would end up with a ton of blur but you proved me wrong!
I was actually also surprised how much lighters a place like this actually is! Most of my shutter speeds were around 2 to 10 seconds when I remember correctly, which is not too bad. :)
Totally agree and that’s why I left on the first day and came back when it was less busy. But somehow I was also glad that the fair took place and it was possible to experience some „normality“ again. Thanks for your comment :)
I enjoyed watching this, great location choice :) My favourite photos is at at 5:45 of the Crazy Mouse ride, I love the composition and the glowing green is just *chefs kiss*
Thank you so much for your comment, I really appreciate it! I am glad I captured it with the full lettering in neon, I was afraid I might have missed the moment but was glad everything worked out.
You captured some very memorable and striking images. Thanks for that! It was also lovely to see the various scenes directly and through the viewfinder. I preferred the Portra ‘look’ a little more. The grain on some of the Kodak photographs wasn’t to my taste. But, in truth, they were all lovely! Glad to see you are keeping safe!
Thanks a lot for your comment Dion, I really appreciate it. ⚡️ And I think I have to agree, since I prefer the Portra colours slightly as well. However, the old stock of VC and NC is hard to get nowadays, so I am sad to only have a couple of rolls left.
Thank you! I feel like I got more into night photography since the pandemic started because it lowers the chances of meeting many people outside. But I know that I am privileged to be able to go out since this is currently not the case in every country. Anyway, thanks a lot for your comment, I hope better times will come and you will be able to go out more and shoot again! :)
Great shots, love the multiple exposure accident, new subscriber. Really like your calm voice and your Bronica ETRSI, I think I will look into getting one. Thank you for great videos.
Welcome to the channel und thanks for your comment - I truly appreciate it! The ETRSi is a lovely camera and I could not be happier. I also have a review on my channel about it in case you are interested to find out more. :)
@@KarinMajoka Thank you, the review video was the first one I saw of your channel, that video led me to this one. This weekend I will watch the rest of your work. Thank you again, please make more videos related to the ETRS i. Regards from CA.
@@KarinMajoka Yeah! love your Cinestill work. People like you have inspired me to take up film photography. Keep up the good work. you have a very distinct style and great humour :)
Neerav Naik thanks a lot! Messages like these make me truly happy, I love to hear when my work can contribute at least a tiiiiny tiny bit in getting people inspired to go out and shoot themself. Made my day! :)
That viewfinder is mind-blowing, maybe even better than reality. The carousel pictures are my favourites. The fuji400h performs extremely well I think. Maybe it would have been the correct lighting for some cinestill800, but the shutter speed might be to short for your liking :-). Thanks for sharing
Thanks a lot for your comment, I appreciate it! I was also playing with the thought of shooting Cinestill since it’s one of my favorite films! But apart from the fast shutter speeds I did not want those Cinestill halos on these images but preferred a cleaner look for this shoot. And I totally agree, I wish my life would happen through a waist level viewfinder haha
Sehr schön! Das Bild mit den Ballonen und dem Schirm ist mir im ersten Blick als eindrucksvollstes aufgefallen. Ich könnte auch in englisch kommentieren, aber ich breche mir hier bewusst keinen ab. Wirklich schöne Perspektiven und Sichtweisen ;)
Ach du, alles gut, ich freue mich genauso über deutsche wie über englische Kommentare. :) Also vielen Dank dir für das Feedback, freut mich, dass ich scheinbar doch nicht die einzige bin, die diese Kombi aus Ballons und Schirm spannend findet!
Hey habe grade deinen Kanal entdeckt und mir einige Videos angeschaut, mir gefällt der Stil deiner Fotos echt mega und die Videos sind mega entspannend. Habe eine Frage, undzwar: benutzt du den Autofokus deiner A7ii? Ich finde beim Filmen ist der leider garnicht zugebrauchen.. wenn du diesen doch benutzt, welche Objektive hast du da um wenig Probleme zu haben? LG
Hello und herzliche willkommen, freut mich, dass du damit etwas anfangen kannst! ✌🏼Um ehrlich zu sein bin ich für digitale Angelegenheiten glaube ich nicht die beste Ansprechpartnerin, da fühle ich mich in der analogen Welt doch etwas wohler 😬 aber genau, ich nutze die Sony A7II zum filmen und um ehrlich zu sein nutze ich für 98% der Fälle das Kit Objektiv. Ich hab auch noch das 50mm 1.8 von Sony und das Samyang 35mm 2.8, welche ich früher mal zum fotografieren genutzt habe, die aber mittlerweile echt selten zum Zug kommen. Ich bin mit der Bildqualität und dem Autofokus auch nicht so top zufrieden (das könnte aber sicherlich auch an meiner Bedingung liegen) aber für diese TH-cam Zwecke reicht es eigentlich.
These are so beautiful. I kind of miss the Portra variations. I always shot NC, but I'm pretty sure I'd use VC now. It might be easier to shoot night stuff digitally, but the color is just so majestic on film. Also, I love the Pacman reflection ... haha.
I wish I would have gotten my hands on some more rolls of the old Portra versions, sadly this pack of 5 was the only medium format pack I have. I still have some 160NC and 160VC in 35mm that I have not tried yet but might give it a try. As always, thanks for your comment, Jamie. ✌🏼
@@KarinMajoka Definitely worth a try! I have some ultra expired rolls of 220 VC left that I need to put to work. Negative Lab Pro does a really decent job rescuing them.
Thank you. :) I metered using my Calumet DFM3 external light meter or the lightmeter on my phone. However, I added some extra time to account for reciprocity failure (there are charts of the different film stocks and the effect of reciprocity failure online).
Thanks so much for your comment! Have you shot long exposure on slide film before? I still have plenty of Kodak Ektachrome Tungsten in my freezer and might give it a try one day. :)
@@KarinMajoka I never shot any Slide Film yet. But I'm looking forward for it. Honestly I'm a little bit worried to nail the exposure with out a good light meter 😅 I have rolls of Kodak Ektachrome E100 (135) and Fujifilm Provia 100F (135) lay in my fridge almost a year now. May be I'll wait until next summer to give it a try (cross my finger with a in Camera light meter) 😅 If it goes well. I would love to use them on my Yashica Mat-124G.
richtig gutes video! die bilder sind sooo gut. hat richtig so diesen 80s, stranger things-vibe! ich war jahrelang nicht mehr auf dem send aber habe gerade echt lust bekommen mal wieder hinzugehen - nur dann auch mit kamera :D
Danke dir. :) Geht mir ähnlich, ich hab den Send auch nie wirklich als Fotogelegenheit gesehen und war vor einigen Jahren zuletzt dort. Jetzt mit Corona war ich aber für jedes kleine bisschen Ablenkung dankbar und bin auf die Idee gekommen die Chance zu nutzen dort zu fotografieren. Jetzt bin ich mir sicher, dass ich beim nächsten Send auch wieder mit Kamera am Start sein werde 😬
@@KarinMajoka ich werde auf jeden Fall auch hingehen :) falls du für den send nen Foto-Buddy suchst, der auch mal ne Kamera zum Filmen hält, sag gerne Bescheid:).
Thanks a lot for your comment, Richard! Home developed and scanned. I am trying to get into a new scanning workflow and tried Vuescan for the first time. Not sure how I feel about it so far, so I might do some rescanning and experimenting in the future. :)
Excellent photos...but I got some PTSD flashbacks from childhood during the claw machine intro. Those things are bullshit, they give you hope and then snatch it away at the last moment
I totally feel you and I had to laugh so hard about this comment, because it is so so true! Unlike the claw machines in Japan though, because those are the only ones that really work and where you have a realistic chance to grab something.
@@KarinMajoka Yeah! Of course, they see fit to put claw games in video games, too, where they are just as frustrating. The one from Link's Awakening springs to mind
I metered using my Calumet DFM3 external light meter or the lightmeter on my phone. However, I added some extra time to account for reciprocity failure (there are charts of the different film stocks and the effect of reciprocity failure online).
Lovely Images, my favorite is 3:21 and of course the jellyfish. Sometimes I feel the images are a little bit overexposed. Looking to the viewfinder (2:12) without winding before :D
Thank you, this was also one of my favourite shots! ⚡️ The negatives look alright in density and not really overexposed but I think the overexposed look came due to scanning, so you are right in a way. I am currently testing out a new scanning workflow with Vuescan and found it hard to finetune. Even though I noticed that the images might be a bit too bright compared to how I saw it, I kind of liked this look and did not bother to scan them again. But I might go back to them and rescan in the future! :)
I was impressed with even your multi-exposure by mistake photo. The Fuji 400h’s purple hue works well with night shooting. As of now, I don’t think that I’ll have a chance to ever experience working without h it , since Fuji has disconnected this production. As far as your next time visiting the fair, I do think you’d be pleased with the results of using an ND filter; that’s if you are able to keep butt-heads from disturbing your tripod set-up.
Pro400h is a beautiful stock and seeing it go hurts such much, since it has been a favorite for mine for a long time. Thanks for your comment - next time I will try it with an ND filter for sure!
I metered for the mid-tones using my Calumet DFM3 external light meter or the lightmeter on my phone. However, I added some extra time to account for reciprocity failure.
For the most part I used my external Calumet light meter and did incident metering on the midtones. But sometimes I am also lazy and use a lightmeter on my phone.
Anthony T. Carter ahhh I see, sorry! They are uniform I guess, so if you look for something called „camera cable release“ it should work on every film camera with a cable release socket
Last time I went on any sort of fast rides at a fair, my girlfriend at the time and a mutual friend of ours, who came out with us, had to literally carry me around to the back of proceedings because I suffered delayed concussion. Around 2-3 weeks prior to the show, I'd been in a trucking accident where both myself and my brother were lucky to get out of it. Silly me, thinking I felt OK decided to go on the ride with my girlfriend and I was OK going forwards, but when I went backwards everything started to go all weird. When I got off the ride, my legs gave way from out under me and I lost feeling in them!!! My head was spinning and I felt like throwing up!!! So, my girlfriend and our friend carried me around to the medical office at the back of the main ring and they looked me over. I stayed in there for about 30 minutes until everything settled down. Needless to say, I saw the doc the next day and had a head Xray (this was before MRI machines were common) and found out it was delayed concussion. I ended up not doing much of anything for a few more weeks before everything was cleared and I was OK.
Oh no, that sounds terrible! I guess this does not leave you with a good memory concerning fairs. I hope you feel better since this incident and are fully back on your feed again! Thanks for sharing this story. :)
It happened back in 1988, so it's a long time ago, now!!! But, at the time, it wasn't too good, that's for sure!!! Nah, it was my silly thinking that got me into trouble. I should've known that I hadn't recovered from the accident well enough to go to the show.
Logic in Germany. I recorded this video like a month ago or so when infection numbers where not as high. Nowadays restaurants and bars and everything are closed again, so I don't think they would have allowed it.
I don't believe that 'jelly fish on acid' was an accident, its too perfectly framed! You should have said.... 'And here I wanted to represent the kaleidoscope of light and movement and capture the emotional atmosphere of the fun fair".......or something like that, and never admitted it was an 'accident'.
Hahah, you caught me, I am not good at selling myself, that sound sooo much better than an accident ⚡️✌🏼 I think if I only made a multiple exposure of the carousel I would have been pretty happy with it, but I find the different background from another scenery a bit distracting.
@@KarinMajoka Ah, there's always photoshop, who'd know? I think the background is quite interesting though, the main subject grabs your attention but the background keeps you occupied guessing whats there. I also like the carousel at 4.23 for its colours and movement.
I think you should stop worrying about people. For the next time you go there do longer exposure but people always give it a plus in fact you missed moments like a couple was behind you kissing when they were in some of the attractions. Probably is a way to photograph you have and it can be an extention of you but at the end those places are there for people I think you should include them. That is just a suggestion do what you think it works for you. I enjoyed the video.
Thanks so much for your elaborate comment, I think input like this is very valuable! I noticed some moments I „missed“ that I would usually photograph when I was in a street photography scenario, but this setup of slow film and darkness did not really allow me to shot quickly in scenes like these. And I totally agree that a place like this fair is made for people and the absence of people would not represent what it was made for. And I would not like to exclude people from the images completely, but make them more blurry and abstract through longer exposures. Sometimes I don’t like when images are too plain or too obvious but prefer the more abstract attempt. Also: I would love to show that it’s not about the people that stand right in front of the attractions at that moment of time, but about the amount of different people that visit a place like this during one day. And I think this would be better represented with an indication of people by making them appear more blurry rather than concrete, but I think it’s a question of taste and definitely worth experimenting with! :) thanks! ⚡️
Loved seeing these scenes through the Bronica’s finder/glass - very cool. Excellent images.
Yeah, so big and bright. Definitely made me want to try one.
It is addictive to look through it 🙂
I have to agree, the world just looks better through a viewfinder ✌🏼
Absolutely love these images. The color palate of cooler blues and greens almost give it a cyberpunk look. Also the double exposure looks great.
Pretty cool association, now that you mention the cyberpunk look it definitely see the resemblance as well! Thanks a lot for your comment, Edward. ⚡️
Wow! Fantastic evening(s) of colour photography. So many great compositions. It must have felt like you had opened a Pandora's Box of goodies. So satisfying to go out and shoot several rolls and come back with so many winners. The coloured fog creates an ethereal atmosphere which the film picks up beautifully. I liked all of these shots but if I had to pick out three it would be 0.27, 4.26 and 7.23. BTW I thought the waist level finder was particularly useful for this type of night time photography.

Amazing video, my favourite is 4:23
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it :)
I really like the reflections in the water in the image at 3:22. It's so clean and beautiful. But, I could just watch through the ground glass all day. It's so bright and crisp!

Nice video Karin.
My favourite was the painterly ‘blurred bumper cars’ image (plus an honourable mention for ‘acid jellyfish’) :)
Thanks a lot for your comment and giving the jellyfish a shoutout - I really appreciate it. :)
Wow such beautiful colors!!!
Thank you, Sierra ⚡️
Amazing multiple exposure! These happy accidents are the best part of shooting on film! Love all photos by the way! 😍
Totally agree, Bob Ross philosophy all the way. And thanks a lot, I appreciate it. :)
These photos are amazing!
Thank you :)
Love them all! The last time I went to a fair midway I used an ND filter and used 8 and 10 second long exposures. I was very pleased with the results.
Sounds really interesting! The next time I am there I would love to try something similar. :)

Thanks so much for your comment! Have you shot long exposure on slide film before? I still have plenty of Kodak Ektachrome Tungsten in my freezer and might give it a try one day. :)
@@KarinMajoka I never shot any Slide Film yet. But I'm looking forward for it. Honestly I'm a little bit worried to nail the exposure with out a good light meter 😅 I have rolls of Kodak Ektachrome E100 (135) and Fujifilm Provia 100F (135) lay in my fridge almost a year now. May be I'll wait until next summer to give it a try (cross my finger with a in Camera light meter) 😅 If it goes well. I would love to use them on my Yashica Mat-124G.
richtig gutes video! die bilder sind sooo gut. hat richtig so diesen 80s, stranger things-vibe!
ich war jahrelang nicht mehr auf dem send aber habe gerade echt lust bekommen mal wieder hinzugehen - nur dann auch mit kamera :D
Danke dir. :) Geht mir ähnlich, ich hab den Send auch nie wirklich als Fotogelegenheit gesehen und war vor einigen Jahren zuletzt dort. Jetzt mit Corona war ich aber für jedes kleine bisschen Ablenkung dankbar und bin auf die Idee gekommen die Chance zu nutzen dort zu fotografieren. Jetzt bin ich mir sicher, dass ich beim nächsten Send auch wieder mit Kamera am Start sein werde 😬
@@KarinMajoka ich werde auf jeden Fall auch hingehen :)
falls du für den send nen Foto-Buddy suchst, der auch mal ne Kamera zum Filmen hält, sag gerne Bescheid:).
Lots of nice shots. I liked the close-up of the ferris wheel cars.
That expired Portra was fantastic. Home developed or lab? Thanks.
Thanks a lot for your comment, Richard! Home developed and scanned. I am trying to get into a new scanning workflow and tried Vuescan for the first time. Not sure how I feel about it so far, so I might do some rescanning and experimenting in the future. :)
@@KarinMajoka I thought they might have been lab-scanned so you did very well!
Excellent photos...but I got some PTSD flashbacks from childhood during the claw machine intro. Those things are bullshit, they give you hope and then snatch it away at the last moment
I totally feel you and I had to laugh so hard about this comment, because it is so so true! Unlike the claw machines in Japan though, because those are the only ones that really work and where you have a realistic chance to grab something.
@@KarinMajoka Yeah! Of course, they see fit to put claw games in video games, too, where they are just as frustrating. The one from Link's Awakening springs to mind
A great video, Karin! I know these love-hate relationships with claw machines (:
Thank you Jerry. Haha yes! They are pretty addictive but the European ones are not the real deal
@@KarinMajoka Right. At least compared to Japan (:
Hi! You metering for shadow or highlights? Regards from Chile!
I use incident metering, so somehow neither nor. But when I do reflective metering I meter for the midtones. Hope this helps. :)
These are amazing, how did you end up metering btw?

Lovely Images, my favorite is 3:21 and of course the jellyfish. Sometimes I feel the images are a little bit overexposed. Looking to the viewfinder (2:12) without winding before :D
Thank you, this was also one of my favourite shots! ⚡️ The negatives look alright in density and not really overexposed but I think the overexposed look came due to scanning, so you are right in a way. I am currently testing out a new scanning workflow with Vuescan and found it hard to finetune. Even though I noticed that the images might be a bit too bright compared to how I saw it, I kind of liked this look and did not bother to scan them again. But I might go back to them and rescan in the future! :)
04:48 Very 'Blade Runner'. I always look forward to your work.
Thanks a lot David, really appreciate your comment!
Gefällt mir 😃👍😃
Danke dir ⚡️
I was impressed with even your multi-exposure by mistake photo. The Fuji 400h’s purple hue works well with night shooting. As of now, I don’t think that I’ll have a chance to ever experience working without h it , since Fuji has disconnected this production. As far as your next time visiting the fair, I do think you’d be pleased with the results of using an ND filter; that’s if you are able to keep butt-heads from disturbing your tripod set-up.
Pro400h is a beautiful stock and seeing it go hurts such much, since it has been a favorite for mine for a long time. Thanks for your comment - next time I will try it with an ND filter for sure!
Great stuff..how did you meter?
I metered for the mid-tones using my Calumet DFM3 external light meter or the lightmeter on my phone. However, I added some extra time to account for reciprocity failure.
@@KarinMajoka thanks you
hey what type of cable release do you use ?
I think it's just the first one I found on ebay, probably a no name.
How did you meter the light? Guessing? Always the same settings?
For the most part I used my external Calumet light meter and did incident metering on the midtones. But sometimes I am also lazy and use a lightmeter on my phone.
@@KarinMajoka did you get the same results? Or was one of the devices off with the values?
sehr coole bilder!
Danke 😌
If I may ask..? What cable are you using to trigger your shutter?
Anthony T. Carter I just use a cheap cable release I found on eBay or Amazon I think.
@@KarinMajoka Is there a specific kind/link? I'm new to all of this lol
Anthony T. Carter ahhh I see, sorry! They are uniform I guess, so if you look for something called „camera cable release“ it should work on every film camera with a cable release socket
Waiting for my reales cable and want to work with Portra 800 in Amsterdam.
That sounds like a great combo! Have fun shooting with it. :)
You ever think they’ll bring back Pro 400h?
They did with Acros - so there is hope!
@@KarinMajoka Heck yes!
5:26 is my personal favourite.
This year, I expect no fairs like that 😢 no Zuckerwatte 😢no Lebkuchenherz 😢
Thank you! :) I was surprised it took place last year, but I am also almost certain it won't happen this year again sadly.
..entzückend... 🙂
dankesehr :)
Haha jellyfish on acid, or what a jellyfish looks like while on acid? 😅
What a jellyfish looks like on acid 😬
Last time I went on any sort of fast rides at a fair, my girlfriend at the time and a mutual friend of ours, who came out with us, had to literally carry me around to the back of proceedings because I suffered delayed concussion. Around 2-3 weeks prior to the show, I'd been in a trucking accident where both myself and my brother were lucky to get out of it. Silly me, thinking I felt OK decided to go on the ride with my girlfriend and I was OK going forwards, but when I went backwards everything started to go all weird. When I got off the ride, my legs gave way from out under me and I lost feeling in them!!! My head was spinning and I felt like throwing up!!! So, my girlfriend and our friend carried me around to the medical office at the back of the main ring and they looked me over. I stayed in there for about 30 minutes until everything settled down. Needless to say, I saw the doc the next day and had a head Xray (this was before MRI machines were common) and found out it was delayed concussion. I ended up not doing much of anything for a few more weeks before everything was cleared and I was OK.
Oh no, that sounds terrible! I guess this does not leave you with a good memory concerning fairs. I hope you feel better since this incident and are fully back on your feed again! Thanks for sharing this story. :)
It happened back in 1988, so it's a long time ago, now!!! But, at the time, it wasn't too good, that's for sure!!! Nah, it was my silly thinking that got me into trouble. I should've known that I hadn't recovered from the accident well enough to go to the show.
I just went to bed, RIP sleep.
Eastblockboy sleep counter: - 9:35min.
@@KarinMajoka less sleep = more gear!
Seriously I can't remember when is the last time I used film, shooting a fair. Not in this century I suppose...
It was my first time shooting at a fair as well. So it’s never too late to start (again) - once fairs take place regularly again. :)
There's a fair during a pandemic?🤔
Logic in Germany. I recorded this video like a month ago or so when infection numbers where not as high. Nowadays restaurants and bars and everything are closed again, so I don't think they would have allowed it.
8:25 "Happy accident"
Thank you :)
I don't believe that 'jelly fish on acid' was an accident, its too perfectly framed! You should have said.... 'And here I wanted to represent the kaleidoscope of light and movement and capture the emotional atmosphere of the fun fair".......or something like that, and never admitted it was an 'accident'.
Hahah, you caught me, I am not good at selling myself, that sound sooo much better than an accident ⚡️✌🏼 I think if I only made a multiple exposure of the carousel I would have been pretty happy with it, but I find the different background from another scenery a bit distracting.
@@KarinMajoka Ah, there's always photoshop, who'd know? I think the background is quite interesting though, the main subject grabs your attention but the background keeps you occupied guessing whats there. I also like the carousel at 4.23 for its colours and movement.
Karin using dead film stocks be like
I think you should stop worrying about people. For the next time you go there do longer exposure but people always give it a plus in fact you missed moments like a couple was behind you kissing when they were in some of the attractions. Probably is a way to photograph you have and it can be an extention of you but at the end those places are there for people I think you should include them. That is just a suggestion do what you think it works for you. I enjoyed the video.
Thanks so much for your elaborate comment, I think input like this is very valuable! I noticed some moments I „missed“ that I would usually photograph when I was in a street photography scenario, but this setup of slow film and darkness did not really allow me to shot quickly in scenes like these. And I totally agree that a place like this fair is made for people and the absence of people would not represent what it was made for. And I would not like to exclude people from the images completely, but make them more blurry and abstract through longer exposures. Sometimes I don’t like when images are too plain or too obvious but prefer the more abstract attempt. Also: I would love to show that it’s not about the people that stand right in front of the attractions at that moment of time, but about the amount of different people that visit a place like this during one day. And I think this would be better represented with an indication of people by making them appear more blurry rather than concrete, but I think it’s a question of taste and definitely worth experimenting with! :) thanks! ⚡️
I do rather like "Jellyfish on Acid"
Thank you, Dan! ⚡️
