Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. I’ll probably do some of the same with my digital photography also. I’m planning a few videos about my editing workflow and the software I use.
Yea, the showing the raw picture is a great idea. Those new to film might be discouraged that their pictures don’t look like the edited pictures they see on InstaGram. Editing is another skill that they will learn over time, just as they are learning what their camera and lenses can do, as well as developing their own style as an artist. Sorry about the 220/120 switch mistake. And those light leaks, does your model have the red window cover door on the back? Once the 220 paper backing ends near the beginning, then that door becomes a liability until the paper near the end is between it and the film again. Perhaps it was pushed in while handling the camera resulting in the leaks, which were red! I wonder if there is some light sealing felt around it that can be replaced. Like the felt from the inside of a film canister. Most folks I know tape them up. Thanks for another great video!
Good to see you down on your hands and knees, crawling around, getting dirty and getting the shot again. I really like the way these images look - seems like a great combination of camera and film. They all had such a nice earthy look to it and the bokeh is beautiful without being too much. Too bad about the light leak in a couple of the images, but the rest were fantastic. Great work as always Jim, really enjoyed seeing you in the field again!
Thanks, Paul. It was great to get out again for a day. I think one more trip there this Autumn to hunt for mushrooms to photograph. I still have a few rolls of that Portra 160…
There is certainly far more thinking goes into the use of that Mamiya than is credited. Excellent photography Jim - and I have to say, on a couple of the shots, I thought the raw unedited scans were spectacular before any post work......and the others were as well crafted in post as during the shoot.
Thank you. Yes, lots to remember on that camera. I almost always forget to cock the shutter. 🤣 A little clarity, a little structure, some other refinements. At what point do scanned film negatives become digital photography? 🤔
Thanks so much, Paul. The waist level viewfinder really slows down the workflow and allows for careful composition planning. Also, having the image reversed left to right is a composition and balance check.
Nice work Jim, shame about limiting yourself to 12 shots. The colours looked great for a 20 year old expired film. I've recently shot my first ever roll of 120 film with a Diana toy camera, having previously only ever used 35mm and 110.
Thanks so much. I adore the 2 1/4 (6cm) format. It renders so close to how the human eye sees. Plus the larger negative holds so much more information. Almost like a sensor with more megapixels. Enjoy that Diana camera!
came across to this video on my home page and absolutely loved it, i really enjoyed watching the whole process of you capturing such beautiful photos! i also checked your other videos too and subscribed right away. you're doing some awesome work, sir! as a younger who's interested in photography and still has a long long way to go, i aspire you. please continue, and i'll be happily looking up to you and what you share in the future as well ✌️
Beautiful autumn pictures and really enjoy your videos. Question: For the two images with the light leak, do you think that’s due to the camera? Reason being on my first roll with C220 l had the same experience. Post that and having shot 10 rolls now, l have not had any light leaks…
This is the first light leak I’ve had with the Mamiya C220, and it’s the first roll of 220 film I’ve run through this camera. The leaks are on two frames only. Dead center of the frame. Did you process the roll yourself or send it out for development?
@@VintageInsightPhotography all developed at the same lab. It was LOMO CN 800 and l read around about the backing paper having issues. The rolls after that were Potra 400 and never had any issue. Either that or the lab messed up somehow
I absolutely love the raw and adjusted comparison you show please continue that.

Loved the light leaks and amazing bokeh. Amazing results for such old film.
Thanks so much. I was really surprised to see the light leaks.
Enjoy your videos, and great seeing you shooting in Michigan, where I lived for 38 years.
Really like the macro shots Jim! I need to give 220 a go in my Pentax 67 one of these days.
Thanks, Dave. 16 shots rather than 8! That’s like Double the amount! 🤣🤣 (Sorry. We just watched Idocracy. “It’s got electrolytes!)

One of the best times of the year! Amazing photos and video! The colours and textures of everything is just beautiful!
Thank you. I absolutely love autumn. Even the scent of the fallen leaves brings me joy.

these are a beautiful camera. also the unedited images look amazing as is.

Wow! Huge compliments for sure! Thank you so much. 😊
Lovely fall vibe! I love the bouquet on the photo at 7:02 ❤ unfortunate about only 12 exposures, but nice captures.
Thank you!
Nice place to make photos.😊
It truly is a great location for woodland photography.
At @6:12 is mm Favourite picture… great video…greetings from Germany
Thank you.

@Cedric Banda I'm not sure where the light leak came from. I just got the negatives back in the mail, I need to look at them to see what's up.
Is there any real visual difference or advantage using film after you have digitally adjusted the raw image?
Thanks and nice video.
Excellent question... 🧐
