These pictures are perfectly insane. Oh and the colors, the dynamic range, just gorgeous. I'm blown away by these, thoroughly inspired. Thanks for posting!
Probably one of the greatest rolls I witnessed here on YT. It hit the feels. The film Gods graced you. Perfect compostion, perfect mastery of the Mamiya and perfect light. The holy film trinity. Good sh*t. May you enter the flow state again. Reminds me of the time I shot portraits with portra 160 on my Pentax 67. Not my typical film, not my typical street camera. And it's my perfect roll (120). Cheers!
Thank you so much. That day was magical. And way to go with the Pentax. I've never shot one of those, but my RZ67 also really loves Portra 160. It's also so fun when you find the combination that works
Thanks so much! I'm so glad to hear they came out soft. Because about 1/2 of them had soft light and half were pretty harsh, but I wanted the whole set to feel cohesive.
With color negative and a good light meter, technical mistakes aren't too hard to avoid, but getting the lighting, composition, and stillness right is where the marvel really if for this roll. Great shots!
Aw thanks! That is my favorite hat (and an inspiration for a Kingdome tattoo I have as well). And good. I always hope my work makes other folks want to make even more photos!
Oh man, I love your old school Kingdome lid! When in lived up in Portland, myself and a few friends drove up to Seattle to watch them blow it up in person…great photos and video too btw🙏🏼
First, it really is a great feeling. You just know that you're making good work. And to do it with people around is especially special. And yea! The favorite film. I'm glad I'm not crazy. I probably should make another video just about that. 🤔
Yes! I could feel the wabi sabi flow state in your photos when you first showed the roll (before you even mentioned about the flow). Well done! For me, flow is when I forget about my migraine pains when I go out and make photos. Keep it up! Are you still using the mamiya 6?
These are incredible.what were you using for exposure meter, and the light is so beautiful in that first image! Is that bleed just natural with the film+lens
THanks! I usually use meter app on my phone with this camera. It seems to be a little too highlight-weighted. So I've found that using an external meter usually is better.
I think I usually leave the exposure lever at about +1/3 and then often set the ISO to be 1/3 of a stop under. But, I also don't really trust the meter in this camera. I only really use it in consistent light or as a backup check on my other readings.
Thanks! I self develop/scan. My system has morphed just a little bit, but the video I made about how I scan is still pretty close to the video I made about it: th-cam.com/video/exBQyigqr2M/w-d-xo.html
I think that there are combinations between cameras/films/settings that work especially well together. I could say it a different way, but learning those combinations is vital.
I was very sceptic when I clicked on this video, but I have to say the photos were actually amazing.
Hahaha. Yea. Definitely a little bit of a click-bait-y title. But thanks. I do appreciate the support and your kind words. :)

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. It is mind blowing how much detail can be retained in Portra. It just can do so much!

Those are some fantastic photos and some truly incredible scans... like wow.
Thanks so much!! I really appreciate it👍
Beautiful images Joe. The compositions look well thought out and immersive. And the light is soft and alive in these photos. Well done!

The one with the round haystacks is incredible. great stuff.
Thanks. That is one of my favorites from 2020. Might even be in top 10 all time ages I've made.
Image 20 (hay bales) is stunning! Congratulations on getting amazing images
Thank you! That is probably one of my top 10 all time photos.
What a roll. Lovely work.
Thanks so much! The stars really aligned for me that day!
Perfectly encompasses the state of mind that many of us strive for, but seldom find. Beautiful images. 👍🏻
Thank you so much! That's the truth that it's so rare but is so valuable to look back and figure out how you got there.
With color negative and a good light meter, technical mistakes aren't too hard to avoid, but getting the lighting, composition, and stillness right is where the marvel really if for this roll. Great shots!
Thanks! Yea. It was one that my head was in the right place to document the world I saw.
Very very nice!
Thank you very much!
Love these pictures! Just my type of film photography dream. Brilliant!
You and me both! That trip was so fun and really hit on a way to make images that I hope to find space to do more of.
these photos are incredibly beautiful, thanks for sharing!
Glad you like them! Thanks! I really am so proud of these images.
That Kinddome hat is killing me. Nice work! You're making me want to do a road trip.
Aw thanks! That is my favorite hat (and an inspiration for a Kingdome tattoo I have as well). And good. I always hope my work makes other folks want to make even more photos!

Thanks! Im wearing it right now! Go M's!!!
wow these are some beautiful images
Thanks so much! I'm really proud of them. :)
Amazing photos 😍 Keep it up!
Thank you so much! :)
I’ve hit this flow state a few times on portrait shoots, and I think I just did recently as well. Dope video, amazing photos!!
Also the camera’s favorite film...most people probably think that’s crazy talk but it’s a real thing lol
First, it really is a great feeling. You just know that you're making good work. And to do it with people around is especially special.

Keep it up!
Are you still using the mamiya 6?
Haha. Whatever it takes to find the flow. And yes. I use the Mam6 all the time. It's my favorite.
Dude looks like a young Ewan McGreggor. His lightsabers the Mayima 6 though.
Haha. Not the first time I've had that comparison. I'll take it!
I want a travel camera that is passible with portraits --- is this it? Should I consider the Ga645 instead?
I'm sure that's a good one. I haven't ever had the opportunity to use one though. But shooting in 6x4.5 would be nice to have more photos per roll.
These are incredible.what were you using for exposure meter, and the light is so beautiful in that first image! Is that bleed just natural with the film+lens
THanks! I usually use meter app on my phone with this camera. It seems to be a little too highlight-weighted. So I've found that using an external meter usually is better.
Very nice video and fabulous images. Can I ask what lens you used? Some of them look like 50mm, the others not sure.
Thanks so much! All are with the Mamiya 75mm f3.5 for the Mamiya 6. That lens acts very similar to a 50mm lens in a normal full frame camera. 👍
@@JTobiason thanks for the response, I was actually thinking of the Mamiya 50mm lens.
Great video. Do you use the mamiya 6 exposure compensation "dial" to over expose?
I think I usually leave the exposure lever at about +1/3 and then often set the ISO to be 1/3 of a stop under. But, I also don't really trust the meter in this camera. I only really use it in consistent light or as a backup check on my other readings.
Great photos! How was this scanned or what lab do you use ?
Thanks! I self develop/scan. My system has morphed just a little bit, but the video I made about how I scan is still pretty close to the video I made about it:

A bit late to the party, but man good stuff! 👍
Hey, thanks! I still appreciate it!!
Some of those I feel like I'm in Red Dead 2
Haha. A lot of Montana is still pretty wild west.
How did u meter?
I don't really trust the meter in the Mamiya 6, so I mostly use an app on my phone.
@@JTobiason Thank you. Great work.
@@JTobiason which app is it?
this camera loves shooting portra 400 over exposed is the dumbest thing I heard this year.
