It's better in every possible way. I was surprised to see the negative, to be honest. It was an educated guess but still a guess, light changed a lot during that hour so it was hard for me to come up with the settings. I got lucky and it was perfectly exposed. And HP5 at box speed looks very smooth with almost no grain.
@@aowsif you use digital you should do a black and white photos then with red, blue, and green filter and blend them together idk how to explain this very well. But i should work better
Adrian, cool images. For the digital you could also have taken a series of single exposures and stacked them. This would reduce drain on battery power plus there would be no need for long exposure noise reduction since the individual exposures would be shorter and at lower ISO.
Yup! I did that with some long exposures I took last year and the results were definitely better. But they were shorter exposures, around half an hour. I took a bunch of 30-second exposures so the camera did it by itself. Beyond 30 seconds you have to do it manually (at least on my camera, it only goes up to 30 seconds before bulb), which is not a huge deal but a little bit of a pain :) In this case it was a 52 minute exposure so I'd end up with 104 exposures. I don't know how many my computer would be able to handle :D I used ISO 400 for this shot, and even thought the camera was processing the image for almost an hour, there was still a lot of noise. It's probably not the best camera / sensor for this, either. I'm not giving up on digital for long exposures, but I find film to be way better in so many ways. Thanks for sharing that tip!
Yep! It does. Film and digital definitely have different advantages and looks, it's great that we can use either or both, depending on what compromises we prefer in a given situation. I shoot film 99.999% of the time purely because I find the process fun, I don't really enjoy the digital work flow, and I'm just a hobbyist, so I can 😁
Excellent image! Very interesting video, well done. Never tried exposure of that length before myself, congratulations to you! Look forward to seeing more excellent content from you in 2019!
Siri cool test it's amazing how similar they look in the final image. One thing I never understood his film is a completely different technology than digital so I've always wondered why I did little sensor behaves exactly like film and that it needs an hour to build up an image. Thanks for making this tutorial you're giving me some ideas.
Great vid as always! I recently picked up a Hasselblad 503 with the plan of doing long exposures and it's been a great help reading your free ebook about it - thanks so much!
Thanks! Glad they are helpful, Aaron. That's an awesome camera, and film is definitely the way to go with long exposures. Would love to see what you get!
aows I will be sure to send you some results! I’m wondering if I should switch to a spot meter and use the zone system. I find that the reflective meter can be a little bit misleading sometimes. What do you use?
@@aarons6532 I use my digital camera to meter. I always have it with me, either to record these videos or to take images. I used a standalone meter in the past but it was just too many things to bring with me :)
Sir I have subscribed to your instagram a few days and was like "whoa these photos are awesome, i wish this guy had a youtube channel" and here I am watching a video on youtube and suddenly realize that this is your youtube channel! I don’t know why I am sharing it, i just find it funny
Film scan looks wayyyyyyyyyyy better. Sharper, less apparent grain. So cool.

The result brought tears to my eyes. So beautiful
The film looks so much better than the digital. Good job
it totally does. Much better than digital for long exposures. Thanks!

Awesome
The film urinates all over the digital here.
It totally does haha. Digital is not good for these "extreme" long exposures.
😂

Buenísimo vídeo!! Que alegre que encontré tres tu canal, mañana voy a ver todos los vídeos! , Buena edición, buen contenido y excelente fotos!
Jeje, bienvenido y muchas gracias!
Long live film great video
Thank you!
Excellent image! Very interesting video, well done. Never tried exposure of that length before myself, congratulations to you! Look forward to seeing more excellent content from you in 2019!
Thanks! Glad you liked it. I really recommend trying a very long exposure at least once, it's pretty cool :) Thanks again!

Glad you liked it! Yeah, it's chemicals vs sensors, they behave very similar in regular conditions but vary a lot when you push them to the extreme.

Can you tell the name of the app used to track the moon tragectory please? Thank you! Awesome channel! Great inspiring videos!
Of course, it's called Sun Surveyor. Thank you so much for watching!
App Name is Sun Surveyor.
That's right.
Film image is clearly superior here!
It really is!
amazing， loveee it couldn‘t love more
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it :)
Wonderful!
Thanks, James :)
Great video
Thank you!
Great video. I need to try some long exposure on my rz67 soon.
Thanks, Carlos! Yes! Would love to see what you can make :)
Hi Adrian, I have a simple question for you what type of battery do you use on your camera? 357 or LR44. Thank you and I enjoy a lot your videos.
Hey Jose, I *think* LR44, but let me double check once I get home. Thanks!
@@aows Thank you! If you can also include brand perfect!
so they are LR44, but don't see any brand :(

Hi Adrian! Nice dog, nice video ))) Bronica winner!!! Again.... )))
Thanks, Andrew! And yes, the film image is so much better haha
Didn't really understand the process but the image is awesome
Thanks! Feel free to ask, though :)
aows watching the previous video you made before this, understand better now…but still it’s very complicated, not seeing myself doing this haha…
film always wins
Most of the time :)
more like you have captured the Death Star firing to earth at the moment
Film shot won by miles!!!
Totally!
