Mamiya 7 and Fujifilm Velvia 50 for Long Exposure Film Photography

This video is about how I photograph long exposures film photography using my Mamiya 7 with Fujifilm Velvia 50. I scan the files into my Apple iMac 5k computer using Silverfast and the Epson v800. I edit the photos using Adobe Lightroom and I print the images on Hahnemuhle paper with the Canon Pixma Pro 1.
Did you see my latest book Volcanic Aotearoa New Zealand? It tells Māori legend stories of love and war between New Zealand’s volcanoes, it is a story of how I faced my fear of volcanic activity, and it shows my journey with film photography since 2019.

I follow you on IG and your images are the reason I looked for LE film photo videos on youtube, so how cool to actually find you! Love your work, mate!

Thanks man, I am really glad you like my photos. Hopefully you get something out of my channel for your LE film work. Sing out if you think there is a topic that might work for you and the channel. Take care.

Ewan Dunsmuir Images thanks for watching. It is a great spot. We should catchup.

[@thomaspopple2291]

Just recently discovered your channel. Really like those images. I also shoot film. Medium and large format. I tend toward B&W so the black and white one really caught my eye. Look forward to checking out more of your content.

[@StephenMilner]

Thomas Popple thanks for watching. I have a few black and white videos posted and I have some more coming up in the future. Have you tried shooting with Velvia 50 and converting to B&W? It seems to convert really well for me.

7:05 so poetic

[@agespin]

HI can you do a video about how to set the light meter with ND filter

[@hneveek]

Hi mate, love your videos. Just wanted to ask about that reciprocity scale you have taped to the back of the camera. Does that change for different films or do you use that for all films?

[@StephenMilner]

Thank you.
It does change for different films but not by much. Best to check the data sheets for the film you are using.

[@simon5665]

Really enjoy your channel but why did you go for a rangefinder for landscape?

[@StephenMilner]

Lightweight, small lenses and the lenses on the Mamiya 7 are amazing.

[@user-de6xc6rj4c]

Is photography your profession? Otherwise, what is your occupation and how r u finding time to photograph?

[@StephenMilner]

Thanks for asking. I work in construction as a project manager. I do photography and make these videos on the weekends and on holidays. I will be going full time in 2 years when the project I am working on finishes.

[@dennisrkb]

honest question: why shoot on film if you end up scanning anyway?

[@StephenMilner]

Each type of film has its own personality. With film I put the film in the camera and the only settings that I need to think about are shutter speed and aperture. It Buy a cheap film camera and spend a week shooting some film. Check out this video th-cam.com/video/7dHGoikBa1E/w-d-xo.html

[@gui4j]

dude , where do u get your rep failure times from , are you taking them from the data sheet >? or some where else?

[@StephenMilner]

Back then I found them online. Now, I’m using an app called Reciprocity Timer.

[@positive-vibration6089]

@@StephenMilner isn't velvia very good against reciprocity failiure? i read it online and when you put it on the app it only kicks in after 80sec exposures...

[@joshhenderson9492]

​@@positive-vibration6089 Provia is the one with good reciprocity
