- I hit the Sand Dunes with the Pentax 67 & Hasselblad 500c/m. Two Medium Format beasts. This was an adventure but a tough shoot experience to say the least. Y'all let me know which camera you think took the crown on this one! Hope you enjoy.

The desert looks exhausting gang. you brought the heat tho..
Bro it was no joke. Thank you g!
Well done and welcome to the Hasselblad world proud of you!
Thank you man! You led me down the right path!
Hahaha I do need to see more Mike Gray landscape work tho 😂👀
One day I’ll take a leap of faith haha
🔥🔥🔥 That shot with the footsteps walking away tho!!!🤯
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
The King of Film Photography does it again 👏
haha thank you Sophia
You have to do a DEEP CLEAN of your cameras after exposing them to sand like that. When you wiped off the Hasselblad with your shirt - that KILLED me.
Buy a can of compressed air and high pressure air all of your camera parts as much as you can disassemble them. Nothing kills a camera like sand.
I shot a Konica Hexar AF in sand dunes like that - it needed expensive service shortly after.
Haha I got you
Shooting in a hot and windy desert can be very miserable. Good job on the images!
Thanks a lot Wei
I already watched the video once but im watching it again because there's something satisfying as hell about being a digital photographer and watching film photographers put together shoots and having limited shot to get it done. Plus Mia is always killing it. 🔥
That’s love bro. Thank you.she always kills it!
Great photography. Video looks great too. Keep it up
Thanks!
Mike had 800 subscribers less than a year ago now look at him go! Him and his crew put in the work!!! Respect, another great video and awesome compositions dude.
That's love. Thank you bro!
@@MikeGrayFilm you're welcome G can't wait for the next video!
Outstanding photo shoot….Cuz!
Thank you!
Somebody has been in the gym. Nice work!!!!
Haha trying to get right
whooo chile. That heat from the dessert along with the model and the frames.... Got my M1 Macbook Pro fan running OT. And if you know bout them M1's that's a lot. Great work man!
Hahaha thank you
Amazing work 👊
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Wow! Some of your best work imo, brother. I loved EVERY shot!
Thanks Jonathan
bro idk there was something magical about those Pentax shots!!! Also in case u didn’t know, I just recently learned myself - bc of a concept called “diffraction,” most good lenses are sharper until about f/11 then they actually start to soften! So if it’s sunny you can definitely shoot at f/11 at 1/125 to be safe on the motion blur side PLUS get even sharper results. Keep killin it man 🔥
I wish I had your worst conditions. Stuck to concrete and pavement in South Africa (Pretoria). You might think "Oh just take pictures of houses or the city" No no no. See in South Africa every house has a 7 foot fence with electric fencing and spikes. And the city you get mugged in broad daylight. The only places to take pictures of are on the roads... with 800 cars on them... then you get mugged in broad daylight again. Or you pay $60 for a "permit" to shoot at a decent mall. $60 is more than you'd make from 2 photoshoots here each spending 14h+ editing.
Not because of a lack of skill but because people here hate. And I mean from the bottom of their heart *Hate* paying creatives. Less than $25 per shoot with Canon 7D's and 6D's is common here.
I hear you
Brother, I’m glad you made it back alive to share these dope shots and BTS with us 😅🙏🏾
Indeed! Haha 🙌🏾
Glamis. Anyway, models are far tougher than photographers.
these shots are beautiful. this is amazing. photography takes us so many places! this is inspiring
I appreciate it Ryan.
Exquisite. Thank you for this!
Thanks Kevin
Cool location, that shot at 4:45 with the footprints leading to the model is amazing. Love your work!
Where exactly were you shooting? Great site. Too bad it got windy. Fantastic work, all around.
Thanks man!
Plsss add the f and the speed numbers next to each photo that you show us! Do u use the same settings within 1 roll? Thx Debra
Pentax for the win
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
@@MikeGrayFilm what focal lengths do you have for the P67 and which is your favorite?
The Hasselblad = cool, The Pentax 67 = awesome BUT the Fujifilm GX680iii = beau Monde ::fire::
Looks insane, film is another level
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
All I can say is Good Stuff Mike!
Thanks David
As always, a superb video..beautiful model and stunning location. Loved the images. More like this please. Best wishes..David in the (cold) UK.
Dope work ...I thought the images with Hasselblad 100% F I R E ...You have an awesome eye and style keep up the killer work .
Hands down the funniest photography vlog EVER
I know this is an older video but I revisited it because I loved it so much... I have a 500CM and I do love that camera but I sometimes really find it hard sometimes to get critical focus on shots that are that mid to farther distance. Does the 90* viewfinder really help with shooting with the CM? Or do you have a different split focusing screen? I'm not trying to drop $$$$$ on a screen and viewfinder but if the price is right I would consider it. I still love shooting film but my gosh is it getting crazy expensive even in 35mm. Still have a Canon 1N which I love.. Considering maybe even selling the 500CM to go digital MF :/
you getting better every week mate
I appreciate you
All it takes is one great picture to make a shoot worth it. The footprints one was FIRE
Indeed. Thanks man
Just letting you know that sand can damage your cameras. I saw a old video on a army dude in Afghanistan or Iraq and he had his Pentax digital cameras. He put sand all over his camera and then washed the sand off with water and his Pentax digital cameras was all fine. Olympus is also said to be very good but that's now OM Digital.
I am a bit late to the party. Great images, and as usual the B&W is the best. You're lucky, aperture blades fuse together above 116 degrees F.
I always thought it would be great if they had a 45 degree finder for the Pentax. That was the only thing I missed from the 'Blad. And yeah, I know the Pentax has to be able to do vertical. So, no way to do a 45 finder that wouldn't weigh 1.67 tons.
Pro tip the old school National Geographic that had to be in the heat all day would stick white paper to their cameras to reflect the heat away.
I really wish they would bring back white cameras and lens to reflect heat. Black cameras and lens are good if the sun is out and your in really cold weather it can keep the electronics warm.
Robert Wong he shoots Olympus and he makes videos. He got a new Olympus camera and he went with the silver body because his black Olympus camera once in a blue moon shuts down. He said the heat is really bad sometimes in Malaysia.
Should have stop talking and snap away while she walked down that slop fresh foot prints. Note sandals for next time. Good work for a first time sand dunes shoot. It's not easy
The images and the slow motion video is amazing! Great work but that heat definitely looks like it was overwhelming. I live in the San Fernando valley so the heat is crazy out here. That desert heat must’ve super draining! Excellent video!
Thank you!
You should have visit Bombay Beach and Salton Sea while you guys were there !!
Good luck getting the sand out the lenses. You learn very quickly to never manually focus lenses that aren't weather proof in a dry sandy environment
I’m good. No sand in my lenses 🙌🏾
Hasselblad! Best shots, composition...
6:30 is a crazy sequence of shots! Results look like a million dollar fashion shoot Mike! Great stuff.
Also a shot for every “hold that” in this episode ;)
Haha thanks man!
Shooting in the desert looks like a huge challenge, but the photos were fire! Good work bro!
Thanks a lot bro
damnnnnnn sand dunes weren't messing around
Not at all
"Miguelito" (Mike in tiny), hydrate yourself, it's fine, sunscreen, it's fine. Advice for an "amateur", sand barefoot. Your footwear is not digital, it is analog. You are young and you can still learn, for now young girls approach you, take advantage...
Hi Mia 🤩 fun video, great shots
All those shots were epic! I'd always choose the P76 just for that mirror slap. That thing tells you that you just took a shot, you feel it and hear that kaboom! :)
Agreed!
That looked exhausting! The Portra is nice of course and some great images there, but in a place like that, I'd have gone with Fujichome Provia with the 120 format. Provia is nice for portraits in the right light; many people don't like it, but I do. Would have looked stunning.
this pictures are amazig dude
I have worse experience with extreme cold than extreme hot. After few frames in -20°C my Mamiya RB's shutter got stuck
Damn
@@MikeGrayFilm great video and shots, anyways :D
Nice one Mike, fancy a collab?
Oooh not afraid with al this sand on your hasselblad?! can't be good! by the way nice shots! :-)
Thanks David!
I recognize that parking lot. That's a great spot and your photos are amazing. Love your channel.
Thank you.
I have had both cameras several times over the years and my results never looked as good as yours! My favorite photos came out of your Hasselblad! Great location, great model, great team, great shoot! Keep up the awesome work!!!!
Thanks a lot Terrence!
Your model is beautiful and I love the shots of her on the dunes, but please take a piece of advice from an old timer, never never change lenses or backs when the sand is blowing. It is murder on any camera particularly a mechanical MF one. Get the camera body, back and lens serviced asap.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I swear to God, I thought that you guys rented an eagle for the shoot and it was casually just flying around waiting. It was your drone hahaha. Great shots as usual bro, very inspiring stuff. I learn a lot from watching you shoot portraits!
thanks bro!!!! lol
New subscriber & I came across your work they’re wonderful!!
Thank you so much!
Hi Mike! :) really enjoyed this video. What‘s the model of the lightmeter you used?
Thanks Tim! sekonic l-308x-u 🙌🏾
Sick video, nice photos, lovely cameras. What could you ask more ? Would love to sit and talk photo and cameras someday with you
Thanks man!
That Haselblad is nice but it is also harder to shoot and let me tell you why... It is easy to fool yourself into thinking images are great because of that 6x6 format so you have to work extra hard to make sure the format is not fooling you. I do like what you got with it though. Technical wise I do like what you got with the Hassie, maybe it is the glass?
The glass and functionality of the camera
Pentax or Hasselblad? You would deliver great photos no matter what the camera.
I appreciate that .
Thw cinematography just as good as the photos 🙌🙌🙌
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
My impression from limited use of the Hasselblad is that it is not well designed for use in a location like this, where there is a lot of dust, dirt and sand. It is not well sealed and can be quite delicate. The Pentax is a much tougher build. In fairness to Hasselblad, it was designed for use in a studio, and in that setting, it outclasses the Pentax easily.
100% 🙌🏾
You absolutely killed this. Amazing shots from both cameras.
Thanks so much Andrew.
4:45 we said WOW at the same time 😂
Lol , love the running in dunes … you were like a gazelle dancing over the Serengeti !
Hahahaha
Mike doesn't like sand. It's coarse and it gets into everything.
Indeed. haha
Do you use a film scanner to digitise your prints or are you just scanning prints?
What f stops are you using in such harsh light? 1/60 for SS and 160 for ISO?
Aye massive shoot dude love it. Please tell me you are working your way to an exhibition or book soon 🙏🏻
I definitely am Ben. I appreciate you 🙌🏾
Man y’all made some FIRE together
I appreciate it bro
One of my favorites. Made me want to have this experience. Thanks for the share.
Glad you enjoyed it!
arguably your best photos I've seen you take on this channel
thanks a lot
honestly i dont think the pentax or the hasselblad won, its just a nice video with some fire photos.
My g! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Video is awesome man! photos are awesome love the photos at 3:15, 3:18, 4:45, 5:00, and the one 8:03 the shots from both cameras are dope i cant determine which one i like more
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Those 6x7 photos were faaaaaantastic! And that model tho
Thanks bro!
Hope you had an umbrella for her for shade while not shooting?
she sat in the car with AC whenever we weren't shooting. we made sure she was just fine.
Great video. Thank you for posting. I feel the aspect ratio of the Pentax 67 lends itself better to your subject (the model) that has height, thus those images are a bit more pleasing to my eye. You did very well with both. What did you do to clean your equipment? Great care is necessary to remove all sand from cameras and lenses. Cheers from Canada.
Thanks Weston. I took the camera apart. Surprisingly wasn’t much in there. 🙌🏾
Hasselblad just because they've been to the moon...
agreed
5 min in, dammmmm film looks so much better and Mia is smokin hot. Good shoot people.
Thank you!
Love the work and it's ALWAYS dope to see black creatives doing their thing. I will continue to support. 🙏🏽
That’s love. Thank you. 🙌🏾
where is this?
and im biased as a pentax 67 owner but those shots were still my fave
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
such an excellent video! being a Hasselblad owner, you make me want to get out from my current spot & just shoot. Shots are very inspirational! Hopefully none of the sand grains scratched up your lenses!
Everything is good!! 🙌🏾
Im gunna show my wife this, see if she would be down to be my model...
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Even with your white shirt, I'd say Mia is the best dressed for this situation.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
This shit is crazy fam!! Too dope!!
Thanks!
Speaking truth on the hassy and penny. I gotta ask did any sand get into the cameras?
Luckily the sand stayed on the surface 🙌🏾
Hasselblad leg up -beautiful pic and a great model
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Me sat here in the uk : Air conditioning 🧐🤔???
Hahaha
Great job Mike! Another one that get two thumbs up!
You rock!
hello from russia! wow, amazing work!
Thank you!
"it's not a game" re: sunscreen the truest thing you ever said on the channel
Hahaha
Nah. I’ma need you to run that print for all of us playboi
Haha say less!!
Amazing photos Mike, this shoot is from heaven, despite the difficult conditions! Great work!
Thanks Vincent!
✨3am binging on your last 4 videos. You already dude. Respect. ✨

Thanks Michael!
Dang loading that film in direct sun, that's gangsta.
Only way to do it 😂😂😂
