Anamorphic Panoramas | Nikon F4S
My Skillshare course on Film Photography (with one month free trial) - skl.sh/3p5sk9K
--
Anamorphic photography can be considered an advanced photography technique as it involves shooting photos with unconventional lenses and the post production work requires the photographer to de-squeeze the images. In today's video, Sathya has tried to execute his idea of shooting anamorphic panoramas with a film camera using his trusty Nikon F4S and a Blazar Nero Anamorphic 1.5X adapter. The camera first captures squeezed images on to the film. Film is then developed and scanned. Scanned images are then desqueezed in photoshop to achieve an anamorphic look with a panoramic format of 2.25:1.

Like the camera hate the Polaroid colors. Like the instax colors hate the cameras. Can we have Polaroid make a instax version 😂
haha
i have just ordered it..great review well done!
oh awesome! hope you enjoy it :) and thank you for watching!
Fab videos! I wish I had seen this when I started 4x5. If you don't do an after wash, what do you do?
Are you referring to the stabilisers? From what I understand modern film stocks do not need them. Thank you for watching!
@@SathyaPeacock I was confused by your process. Normally I develop, apply stop wash (typically water), then fixer and then rinse for 10 minutes, I was under the impression that you don’t rinse due to the environmental effects which concern me as well. But do you dump the fixer and that’s it? Or store it for proper disposal? What is your workflow for developing? (I am looking in some fixers you can reuse). But I never heard of not washing since it is the step that removes the silver (and therefore not good for the environment). If you could share your overall workflow (which you have) with respect to leaving the last long water rinse out, I would be curious. You may have the answer to my problem.
Nice video quality!
Thanks for watching!
yes i'm late to the party. sorry i missed it but glad i found it. tyvm for the vid!
Glad you watched it. Thanks!
Hello, thank you for pointing hidden technologies in the F4 like portrait mode metering, reduce shake shutter, speed shutter from 2000 (nikon F3) to 8000, etc... It's the only one camera nikon compatible with ALL LENSES. I like it have all dials at top of the F4 without LCD screen. i own Nikon F, F2sb and F4 with I have 2 only lens, Voigtlander 40mm f2 and 105mm f2.5 sonnar version. Tested F3 but it's the most overated of the serie, nothing special for me. I'm afraid F5 is too big for me, and read the matrix metering is less efficient than the F4. I don't use AF so i don't know yet if i like to get one. I'm not fan of bigs camera like F5 or Dx serie. Thanks to Nikon released D700, a small D3. Mine is only 18k shutters atuations. His panasonic full frame sensor is so specail, so magic i regret no more sensor like in Nikon mirorless series. And more special when work with Voigtlander 40mm. I do lot of street photo, i'm lucky my favorites camera like F4 and D700 are "smalls" unlike F5 or D3, etc..
Thanks a lot for watching! Indeed it is a pretty good camera. I must say I am intrigued by F5 and F6 and intend to try them :) I did not know about the D700 and it's panasonic sensor. Nikon certainly made some workhorse cameras with good image right out the box. Have you tried their D200? I have been seeing more and more people using it, and makes me curious to try.
@@SathyaPeacock D200 is my next camera I would like to try but I don't have wide lens ready for crop 1.5. I only have Voigtlander 40mm and 105mm.
@@kriXoff75 ah okay that makes sense
Definitely not worth the price. You are better off with a modded SX70 with BT module and external battery options as well as being able to accept i-Type film.
I know I'm better off with the I2, but to each their own. Thanks for stopping by.
Sathya bhai I am so glad you make these videos man. I do concur on your opinion about the F4. A beautifully engineered Ferrariesque SLR
thank you for watching bhai :) It is indeed!
I agree it is a fantastic camera. despite its weight which i believe makes it feel solid in the hand.
totally agree that weight makes it feel solid, thanks for watching.
What frame holder are you using for the scans?
Hi Chris, it's the one that came with the Epson V850. Not a fluid mount.
@@SathyaPeacock Okay-thanks!
Very interesting and enjoy watching your videos on this amazing camera. I look forward to see more crisp sharp colorful images created by your F4s. I’m inspired. Your images from the last video where you convert film look to sharp edge to edge slide film look was amazing, just like a high end 4000.00 dollar digital camera. Thank you
Hi, thanks - good lens, good exposure and scanned by a good lab are the things I'd recommend. I didn't do anything specific/different here. I was using the voigtlander 40mm F2 lens for most of the shots in this video but nikon's 50mm F1.8 lens in my ektachrome video. slide film particularly looks better in 35mm as the ISO is really low and grain is not really visible. For voigtlander lens I was relying on camera's focus indicator and all exposures where metered internally by the camera itself :) it's a great camera, so I definitely recommend!
Help me to take shots to create that sharp edge to edge look from an f4 s in purchasing. I love the feel and look of this camera and your images is exactly why I got into photography. I’ll buy whatever I have to just so I can take shots like your images.
please see previous comment in the Top 5 Reasons video :) Thank you so much for watching and happy shooting with the F4!
Great video. Helpful.
Thank you!
Just found your videos, im a fan. I just started my large format journey and can relate with your topics! Thank you 🙏
Thank you! Glad you like them. All the best with your LF journey
A v900/950 would be nice but low chance. I recently started doing fluid mount scans on my 700 and I am really liking the results I am getting. I scan "RAW" linear tiffs as well that that is the way to do. I use VueScan and I feel it gives you much more control over the scanner. One little feature that I like is that you can tell the scanner to make multiple passes when scanning a image.
Multiple passes are a nice option for sure
I had the Intrepid 4x5 Mk4, but needed an upgrade. I just ordered the Chamonix 45F-2, and needed a refresher video. This video was the perfect one. I liked the calm tone of your voice, the right amount of information, and the little video clips here and there. It's clear that you've put a considerable amounts of time and effort to come up with such an awesome video. Thank you!
Hi Khalid, glad you found it useful. Enjoy the Chamonix!
What did you do with the camera in the end to get back to zero? My counter stays on 15 and I can still fire the camera and the mirror slaps and I can wind again..
Hi, I used a dark changing bag; put the camera inside, opened the back and wound the film back into the canister and then took it out of the dark bag.
the metering is a very tiny spot in the "centre" of viewfinder. I still have to set -1 exposure compensation which is ridiculous considering the camera is supposed to be metering. Also my original I-2 had to be returned to polaroid as faulty (wouldn't eject dark slides ) and wildly wrong exposures!
That must’ve been frustrating for you to deal with a faulty unit to begin with. Are you liking the image quality? Haven’t had wildly wrong exposures with in built metering yet. And I don’t think it’s a tiny spot, from what I understand it’s 60% of the optical field of view by a single photocell so meters the centre part of fov and disregards everything else. Polaroid does say on their website that its centre weighted but I don’t understand how it could be if it only averages 60% of the optical fov. Maybe it is centre weighted within that 60% fov metering area. But yeah, I agree metering lets this camera down.
Linhof currently produce five 4x5 cameras, in addition the medium format range. All can accommodate film and digital imaging.
Cool good to know
Then there is the 645 D and Z
Would love to try the Z at some point
Your delivery of information is a very nice speed and simplicity
Thank you!
09:31 point the meter to the camera not like that,
I could’ve been clearer in my explanation as I thought the meter was infact pointing my video camera, in this case, as a demonstration. But yes, point the meter to your camera while measuring the light on your subject. Thanks for the comment 👊🏽
Great video I’ve really been thinking about getting one
Thanks Marty!
Great video, thank you from The Netherlands!
You’re welcome Victor! And thank you for watching :) are you planning on getting this camera?
Yes! Already did, should arrive later this month. Can’t wait to try it myself!
@@vinovidiviccie ah awesome! Have fun :)
Thanks Sathya! You too!
Hi, your video is great! I’m considering to buy one, but some people said it has the exposure problems ? How do you think? 600 dollars is not cheap 😂
Hi! The internal meter works well in some situations and does not work well in others. If you want to fully rely on the camera’s internal meter, I would not recommend it. But if you are happy to use an external meter then I recommend it for the image quality. Thanks for watching 🙂👊🏽
@@SathyaPeacock Great! Thanks for your advice 👍
this is great, how did you edit the super 8 effect ?
Thanks for watching, I think it was an overlay from somewhere, sorry can’t remember exactly where from. probably googled ‘super 8 overlay effect’ :)
I’ve been meaning to try this myself, but couldn’t justify buying an anamorphic lens just for this. So I’ve been using a cheap anamorphic on my iPhone.
Hi Andrew! Yeah I wouldn’t have done it either and iPhone cameras are super powerful anyway
@@SathyaPeacock I have been considering getting a used Sigma DP1 Quattro as that has a built in xpan like aspect ratio (intended for use as a directors viewfinder for framing / scouting I think). Sure it is digital and isn’t using the whole sensor but being able to compose at the right ratio is the key for me. Otherwise I’d write some notes and crop afterwards. In the meantime I’ve been using a Lomo Belair with a 35mm back - but the lenses are plastic fantastic so the results have that lomo vibe.
@@AndrewJacksonSE I didn’t know that! That’s cool. And never heard of the Belair before; just googled, looks sick 👌🏽
And Lomography has gotta be my fav company for how accessible & fun they make photography.
Nice video! Which adapter are you using?
Hi! Thank you :) it was the Blazar Nero 1.5X adapter
@@SathyaPeacock thanks!
Finally someone trying a new idea. I love when original content hits UA-cam after all the repetitive content we get these days
Ah thank you! That means a lot 👊🏽
What lens were used for those cinematic BTS shots?
Hi, I assume you’re referring to the ‘Photographs’ section; all shot with the sigma 16mm f1.4 contemporary series.
Loving the look!
Thank you Nuno! hope you’re well :)
Great video as always!
Thankyou Teja! Glad you liked it 👊🏽
great stuff man !
Thank you!
such beautiful footage
Glad you think so man 👊🏽

Dude I loved this! this was sick such a cool way to cheat anamorphic.
Thank you dude! Glad you enjoyed it
This is a remarkable lesson learned, that being - even an old dog like me can learn something new and wonderful. Thank you.
Hi Clarhett, Great to hear from you again! How are you and how is your large format journey been with the Horseman? Glad you found this one interesting :)
What was your favourite outtake?
'I think that's enough' lol
@@SathyaPeacock your demeanor and your obvious love for photography. The buildings and bridges clinched it
Wow. I have a Nikon f100 and the 50mm 1.8. Always wanted to shoot anamorphic. This amazing!
Ah you gotta try it! It’s great fun :) thanks for watching
Great review Sathya! Really enjoyed the video and is certainly helpful!
Thank you so much for watching! Glad it was useful :)
your polaroids look amazing!
Thank you!
Very insightful review!
Thankyou! Glad it was useful :)
Im looking at this exact setup ( camera and lens ) that you have.....but im worried about the vignetting from the 40mm. Any thoughts? Thanks! Wonderful video
Hi Matt, I don’t remember vignetting being a problem (nothing that can’t be fixed in post anyway). I loved that lens for its image quality and close focussing distance, but had to sell it as I wasn’t shooting enough with the F4 to justify keeping it. This is a regret of mine. I am coming around to shooting more 35mm so I might pick it up again. I definitely recommend if it’s in your budget. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your incredible video which is very informative for me who is now seriously thinking about buying a large format camera.
I’m glad it was useful! Thank you for watching :)
hi! I’m debating on whether on getting the slr 680 or i2, do you have advice? I like the features of the I-2, like shutter speed, but I think the slr 680 is classic. would you say the outcome of each photo, sharpness and colour is the same? thank you :)
Hi, I have not shot with the SLR 680 personally so unfortunately I can’t give you advice. I just quickly searched for prices on eBay for the 680 and it’s as expensive as or more so than the I2. For that reason alone I’d choose I2 as it’s a newer camera with warranty and fully manual features. Metering is not excellent if the lighting is uneven so prepare to manually meter for those instances with the I2. All the best :)
@@SathyaPeacock thank you so much! love your videos btw
@@thelasttime7522 thank you!
Hey there, thank you very much video. It was a pleasure watching it. 😊 Well I actually own a onestep 2 for three years now and I love shooting with it and I really like the look of the Polaroid photos. So I am actually thinking about upgrading to the I-2, because I wanna have more control about my shooting. Beside the price, I heard a lot that the light metere is kinda off all the time. In the house it works okay, in the outside you need to step down 2/3 and if it is a bit dark, then you should go up until stop 1. Did you experience this mess? I mean I guess you can work around that and get a feeling for it, but I am not sure whether to wait for the I-3.. (if it ever will be released, who knows, but if so, it will probably take them three years or so to be released). What would you suggest me to do? Do you have to feeling that this is a huge problem? Thx in advance. 😄
Hey! Thank you for watching. Evenly lit situations produce good results for me whether indoors or outdoors (for instance the candy cart shot was outside and was metered in camera). But high contrast / backlit / off centred subject scenes are problematic. So I know to manually meter for those. If you are interested in manually metering for complex scenes then I2 is good. Having that control is sweet.
Thanks for a great video. I look forward to viewing your large format camera movements (front and back) video.
Thank you for watching! Glad it was useful :)
I have nothing but compliments for this video man. Every second was a pleasure and so well done. I started to type out everything I love but genuine the whole video was perfect. Also I was on the fence about getting the I2 but you've convinced me! Thanks for taking the time to make this!
I’m glad to hear that :) Thank you so much for letting me know it was useful! Enjoy shooting with it :)
