Love this video Sam! What's even better is seeing the photos in higher def than over on social. Just adds that extra "wow" factor for me when viewing your work.
Hey Sam, photos are sensational as always! Just a question about the video footage, were your videos shot on an xt5 or xh2s? Im close to pulling the trigger on the xh2s but I’m seeing a lot of people saying the autofocus is extremely unreliable 😭
The autofocus used to be good, not great, but good, however, it got worse with firmware updates. More concerningly, there is no word from Fuji acknowledging to the issue or any calendar for fixing it. As far as we know, they might never fix it. There's people out there refusing to update their Fuji camera firmware because of this.
How National Geographic has fallen since the inception of the internet. I see more interesting videos on TH-cam every day than this. Just a bunch of boring shots of your face, boats and docks. Do better or don't bother uploading

Cool... Which of the fujifilm simulation did you use as a baseline.. Thanks
I was wondering the same thing. What recipe before Post.
sometimes velvia, sometimes pro neg, sometimes no simulation at all
Inspiring work as always!
Excited for your website update after this shoot ✨

Depends on what you shoot - if you need tracking then don’t get it, if u use spot focus and there’s enough contrast it will work well
its ok! nothing crazy but i really enjoy the image. fantastic image quality and grading ability which is why i use it.
Awesome content Sam. Congrats 🎉
okay you went crazy with this one
:)
Congrats Sam🎉
Fish probably wasn't chilling in the Puffin's mouth
lol
May I ask why did you pick gfx and not hassleblad?
Probably lens selection. I don’t think Hasselblad has any really long lenses. He’s also deep into the Fuji ecosystem.
Because they would not give him a free one . Like some other so called photographers 😂😂
Samuel Sir I want to talk to you about something
Hello samuel
Dear Iceland, shut up and and take my money.

How/could I get these results using an iPhone and moment app lens?
Step 1: Buy a medium format camera with a 500mm lens
@@arn4v_I’m a complete beginner. What make? Thanks
@@Lk47233 You got $10k to drop on a camera and lens? Haha
@@Lk47233 He's shooting on a GFX100S and GF500mm f5.6.

Someone’s salty lmao. Completely your choice to watch or not!
@@SamuelElkinsPhoto it’s just sad is all. I’m not “salty”
Everything about this video is perfect! My favorite photographer went to my dream destination while working for my dream job company… 🥲
