  • I took my Leica R8 and a few rolls of Kodak Portra 400 and headed to the Westfjords of Iceland. Along with my friend Ívar @authenticiceland, we headed out into the Arnarfjörður fjörd on a boat and went exploring.

    At a crossroads, having sold all digital gear last year but dithering due to film costs, resolution etc. and wondering about going back to it, I watched this for the 3rd, maybe 4th time and..
    .. am adding a lens to my lens less R8, and sticking with film! Loved the images, esp. the sunset shots near the end of this brilliant video. Please do more.

    This is such a beautiful and calming video and superb images. Iceland is one of the most beautiful countries in the world and I’ve been there twice - but not at an age where I could hold a camera so can’t wait to come back. Honestly a film photography goldmine you got here, excited I found your channel and can’t wait to see what’s to come !

    Hello David! This is really a great video and some decent pictures! I personally own a Leica R8 and I can totally relate the joy of taking pictures with this camera. I just happen to be curious about the story about Kirstie you mentioned at 1:04, I tried to do some research on that but I couldn’t find anything about Kirstie, his brother in law and anything related to Bildudalur. Can you give me some more information to look into? Thanks a lot ❤

    Would you mind sharing what mode did you use in your r8 to shoot these pictures? Also, how much digital editing did you do after scans? Excellent pictures… thank you.

    • @DavidVilmundarson
      @DavidVilmundarson  6 місяців тому

      Hi! I chose the R8 because I like the camera + it has a high shutter speed so you can shoot wide open in bright daylight. I didn't really do any editing. I got these back from the labv like they are. Maybe played with contrast a little bit.

      Thank you for the quick reply. I just bought an R8 myself and I was wondering about the P mode. It sounds like you might had shot in Manual or aperture priority mode in these pictures, is that right?
