Love my RB, had it for 3 years now and will never get rid of it! When you get yourself a 2nd back, I would recommend you go for the ProSD back. It's the one that looks more square and is better in every way. It doesn't use foam light seals and has a dedicated dark slide holder on the back, so you don't have to use the slot on the left side of the camera at 08:30, or as I do, keep forgetting it in your back pocket😁
I drove 2000 miles to see the eclipse. My longest lens was 50. I wish I took pictures of the surroundings more. because focusing on the pinhole that was the sun in a 50mm wasn't the wisest. but I am just human. Ill get it the next time hehe
Really resonate with what you say during the first half of this video, about appreciating a moment just for yourself. I got a telescope (2300mm equivalent - so big enough!) years back, because it's one thing to see pictures on a screen, or book, but entirely different to see it with your own eyes. I do astrophotography now, photographing the universe around us; there are perfect nights for photos that I just sit there and look with my own eyes. Love your videos, very chill and thoughtful. Congrats on the RB, amazing camera and I look forward to those landscapes.
In 2017 during the eclipse, I had several cameras and video set up and got some great shots,... but I did not really experience it because I just didn't stop and relax and just soak it in. Circumstances didn't allow me to get to this year's eclipse so I'm a little bummed.
I was on the path of totality, so I had to take pictures of the whole thing. I just wish I had a better tripod as the event was going so fast. We had 1 minute 24 seconds of totality and it was the most mind blowing thing I've ever seen. You could see the 360° sunrise, feel the temperatures get lower, the greens and reds began to look funky. And there it was, the best light show in the world, complete with the little hairs surrounding the sun. It was really worth it. I had a 300mm on an APS-C camera, so I could set the sun in the upper left corner and just click-away until it reached the lower right.
I was visiting back home in the path of near totality and the only camera I brought with me was a half-frame Olympus PenF with a monster 38mm zuiko lens, lol. I kept it firmly pointed at the people on the ground who were doing cool long-lens eclipse photography!
Great video Taylor! I've been thinking about taking a bigger step back from the digital world and getting back into film, this was a great reminder to just sit and even though you might not have all the tools handy, you can enjoy the moment! Still love jamming out at the end of your videos, it's just the reset I need for the day when I watch one of your videos!
Awesome you're using the RB. I just was shooting a roll two days ago, and at one point the mirror lever didn't go down all the way and return, so I couldn't take a photo. I was looking it over trying to figure out why. And then noticed a completely different problem. I had left the mirror lock knob set, so I had basically shot maybe 2.5-3.5 rolls over a few months that are likely all black. Don't remember exactly when I had used the cable release last. My heart is broken. Still love you RB.
I was in the path of totality (Texas) and was preparing to try and shoot it on film and digital. Watched a bunch of how to videos, started shopping for Solar Filters etc. In the end I decided not to, because a) I was probably going to f it up b) I would be so focused on getting the shots that I would not enjoy "the moment". The "moment" was awesome, fully experienced, in awe. There are many talented photographers that captured it beautifully and now I get to enjoy those images :)
I live in the path of totality and watched the eclipse from my backyard, though not for the full two hours. Totality was so beautiful. Didn't take any pictures (didn't want to).
I've had my RB for 7 years now. And for 2 years prior to that she sat on my co-workers desk as decoration. And I just pined for her and plotted her prison break. And eventually busted her out of her entropy. She is absolutely worth it. Every time I think my RB is just a heavy pain in the neck (which she is) I revisit the sites she's shared and look through her eye, make new pictures with her and am reminded how lucky I am.
Eh...just get a G690 with a 100mm😜 I'm totally kidding😁 I actually just lucked into a GX680 and am kitting it out, and the only reason I am is because the style of camera started to appeal to me on the back of your Spain trip and some of Jason's Hasselblad videos and Kyle Mcdougal's video on said camera. That, and I have a problem. Thank you! Not for the problem, but the inspiration😊
@@graincheck 😅 i feel you.. i sold a camera and some lenses recently because i had to admit to myself that they are way too heavy for me to shoot them comfortably. But some gems definitely are worth the pain
Your story telling makes your videos so fun to watch. Love them!
TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART
that song ROCKS

Love my RB. It's like an extension of my body at this point. Best medium format camera ever.

Loved the song at the end, added to my playlist. also the video was good too ofc, as always!

You are an excellent photographer!! Every time I click on your channel I’m always amazed by how you shoot.
Best ad within a TH-cam video ever

There are content creators and there are filmmakers. You ma’am are a filmmaker ❤️
Great video...sounds like your partner scored a great copy, and, of course, I'm very happy you're enjoying the 90mm...glad it has a new home! Terence

* ofc I listened to the music till the very end
🥲❤️🔥

That Ty is quite the guy.
Welcome to the RB family. 😎
I remember in one of your first videos you recommended this camera to me in the comments and I've had it ever since!
I've had my RB for 7 years now. And for 2 years prior to that she sat on my co-workers desk as decoration. And I just pined for her and plotted her prison break.

Wish my coworkers would have legendary-but-affordable medium format cameras sitting on their desks :(
Prepared or not...still a delight 💌
I drove to totality. It was indescribably cool
It may sound obvious, but a strap really helps.
When ever you post a new video, I rush as if its the next Shogun episode ahaha. (also check that series out)
Mechanical only cameras are the way to go by now. Congrats on your RB.
Cheers for Tyler!!
Well of course you too!!
Not me here trying to figure out what the KEH code is...
it’s just the link 😂
RB=RealBeast Love it! And love your Videos! Happy Shooting..... Cheers
The RB67 is my favourite camera
Graincheck I was hoping to see your photos on total eclipse or something.
next time….i’ll set an alarm or something
@@graincheck 🤣
great video, love Mamiya cameras....
KEH has never let me down. I love them!
Eh...just get a G690 with a 100mm😜

Great video ❤
someone is also a LANY fan I see :]
the more RB content the better
Interesting camera that Mamya RB67. I have never used such camera. That GFX 50, is that your own camera or on Lone?
all my cameras :)
@@graincheck a thought you was going to change from film to Digital completely
Do you still have your Pentax 645?
I borrowed that from a friend! Returned it since I have this now 🥲
@@graincheck I loved that camera
❤
Where were you for the eclipse?
who knows
@@graincheck😂
can anyone tell me what her KEH code is???
just the link in the description!!
😊
RB67 gang
please don‘t waste your time with a chiropractor and just do some strength exercises and stretches for your back..
i am! but I’m in paaaaiiinnnnnn. things are messed up in there.
@@graincheck 😅 i feel you.. i sold a camera and some lenses recently because i had to admit to myself that they are way too heavy for me to shoot them comfortably.
But some gems definitely are worth the pain
