  • Today I take out my Fujifilm GX617 panoramic film camera with some Kodak Portra 160 and Fuji Velvia 50. I have not had much luck with this camera in the past, but today I finally feel like this camera and I are starting to get along. We shoot some beautiful sunrise photography at my local beach and try our best to avoid any people getting in the frame... and it is a big frame!

    THE best ending ever!!!! 😂😂

    I haven’t done any film photography for a while so check this, but remember that in colour films the reciprocity effect also affects colour balance, leading to a colour cast over the resulting image. To counter this, colour film manufacturers published colour correction factors for long exposure to tell you which colour correction filter is required.

    I don’t miss reciprocity failure and color shifts. Velvia was one of my favorites back in the day, Fun to watch you in action.

    These videos are honestly the most relaxing and inspiring videos ive watched on youtube, every time I watch a new one it just reminds me why I started photography and why I love it so much. Thank you Thomas, keep up the amazing work!

    Never will we be able to "unsee " that ending. It is now engrained into our memory banks for life. Thanks Thomas. You were a brave soul, I have to give you that.

  • @peterfritzphoto
    @peterfritzphoto 3 роки тому +1

    Thomas - the image at the 7-min mark is beautiful. The composition and the light are just perfect. By contrast, the colourful shot into the rising sun is, as you said, a bit obvious - and I avoid these myself for the same reason. The last image is lovely, but the earlier one is still the best. Holy shit - I just watched the last bit of your video, and I felt my own balls shrivel in fright!!! Wow - you're a man of your word! Pisser!!

    I've politely asked people to please walk behind me for the same reason you did. Never had a problem. I did like the last image. The sunrise image is very pretty, but I agree it's a bit post-cardy.

    Thomas Heaton film instructions: 1- Click on like button and subscribe 2- Get comfortable, beverages optional ! 3- Relax and watch film, take inspiration and look forward to future content. Simple really. Cheers Tom. PS Nice gloves. The last photo is my favourite, perfect light on the white lighthouse, not always easy, you've done a great job balancing the exposure. Great job. Happy swimming.

    I love the last shot. You nailed both the exposure and the composition. I love the foreground and the white lighthouse in the distance. The colors are amazing. They are both warm and cool, if that makes sense. The sunlight on the rocks are warm and the colors in the water and sky are cool. Makes for a nice balance.

    Unbelievable! I didn't think you'd keep your commitment, Thomas. But then, you are a man of your word, so I shouldn't have been surprised. Although I'm not a film guy, I do remember going on photoshoots with my father who used a large format film camera. It all seemed like magic to me. Thanks for bringing back good memories.

  • @LeePelling
    @LeePelling 3 роки тому

    I have shot film a few times maybe thirty years ago before digital was a thing, which is why i gave photography up back then as it was just so so difficult to teach yourself , i am enjoying watching your journey with film and how you approach it, that last image, sadly for you, came out really well hope you are over the hyperthermia that surely must have followed . I also find it difficult to talk on camera in front of people , just so self conscious. I also admire your outlook when members of the public are also enjoying the landscape. I dont comment very often but watch all your videos and really enjoy them and find them a great source of personal inspiration , so thankyou .

  • @andykeeble1
    @andykeeble1 3 роки тому

    Tom, you are so polite so never worry about asking folk to walk behind you! I remember one of your very earliest videos when you said you hated talking in front of folk, you are a natural so just jabber away and ignore them! Props for taking a dip, the North Sea in March must be bloody freezing lol. Oh and the last image is a stunner.

    Great video Thomas. It's nice to see you getting that passion back after what I know has been a long year for you as has been evidenced by the psychological ups and downs in your videos. I thought I was watching a Gavin Hardcastle video with the great comedy at the end. As for the images, the last image, with the pastel colours was fantastic for what is basically your first attempt at using this camera. Well done and looking forward to a rejuvenated Thomas Heaton.
