I'm a writer, but fell into cinematography and photography by accident. But I've come to have a genuine love for them both as they teach me about capturing people. In a single frame or 24 per second, you have to show the audience who this person is, what this person is. I've learned that through the patience of cinematography and photography and it's improved my writing. Now I'm here to about to get the Mamiya 67rb Pro SD and I can't help but think of news ways to tell stories of who people are. Thanks for your channel and inspiration to be something better than what I was yesterday. Cheers,
Hi Aaron. Thanks for this wonderful comment! Apologies it's taken a while to get back to you. Hope you are doing well and staying safe at this crazy time. It's great just knowing that this video has helped inspire your creativity. Best wishes - Tim!
@@timothy-mcgaw Hi Tim! No worries on the wait! And thank you for even taking the time to reply. It means a lot. Stay safe as well and continue to inspire with your wonderful talent and perspective.
Hi Mark, thanks a bundle for your nice comments. Glad to hear you liked the photos. I've got some more video ideas for the near future so stay tuned. Hope your having a great week. Peace, Tim.
Hi Leah. Thanks for stopping by to comment. That shot is one of my faves as well. It's definitely worth experimenting with double exposures, and I'm always amazed at how the results look nice most of the time. Happy shooting and have a great weekend!
Hello! I’m going to annoy you with all of my questions. I usually have technical questions, because I really want to start shooting double exposures more intentionally. My goal is to have each image/layer appear in each picture. I know that is challenging. I’ve been told to down stop on each exposure. Do you ever consider the greyscale with composition? I know that black retains info & white doesn’t retain info, so it confuses me on knowing which image to take first, so I’m having more successful double exposures. I’m not always in a studio setting, or trying to do a lot of the common silhouette styles. I’m just wanting to understand what I’m doing, so I can have better results.
I don't think about it in tooooo much detail. However what I would say is that I try to keep track of the darkest parts of each layer so that I know this is where there's space to add more light/details (like a whole for more light to come in). Not sure if that helps at all? For me part of the fun of doing it on film is being surprised at how it all turns out.
@@timothy-mcgaw I think so… but what if you’re doing double exposures with not a lot of shadows? Does this mean the photo will be blown out/overexposed? Metering for more subjects with more light/less shadows is how I get confused. I guess this why downstopping is handy. So what I think of in terms of layering is how I am layering pictures with shadows and not many shadows together. E.g. if I wanted to take pictures of clouds /the sky, if I were to layer it with something darker, I often wonder how the results according to whichever order I take the pictures. If that make sense.
Great video mate. I’ve been meaning to make a video on double exposures as well. You’ve given me some great ideas. If you’re ever in London, we should make a video together! Keep it up 👍🏽
Hi Zain. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment. A London collab sounds like one heck of a great idea. I'll keep it in mind for sure. Have a great weekend!
Really great video, pictures and explanation. I have a rz67 and I’ve started to play with double exposure. Regarding exposure do you double each time time? For example rate portra 400 at 800 so that the final image is normal exposure? Happy new year from London
I tended to expose each image normally, since I wanted it exposed properly. You can, in theory, then build up highlights in areas that get a double dose of light, but in the case of quality films like Portra, they tend to just better the more light you feed them anyway.
Hi Franklin. Since I have the Pro SD version of the camera, it doesn't actually use light seals like the other models. I read that was an issue with the other versions of this camera and that was something Mamiya addressed, when making the Pro SD version. Hope this helps. Have a great weekend.
If you flip the switch to reveal the red spot, it means it will allow the shutter to fire, even without winding the film forward. Usually it won't let you fire the shutter until you've advanced the film. So this is like taking the safety off.
Hi Franklin. Thanks for dropping by. Hope you are doing well also. I've not been super duper well sadly, since about late March I've been having some issues with my eyes and nervous system. However, I am happy to say that I seem to be getting much better now and hope to update the channel with more content once I am feeling tip top. Stay safe and I'll hopefully see you again on the channel very soon.

Just got my Mamiya RB67 and your tutorial is so cool. Thanks so much, Bro!
Really appreciate this. Happy shooting Pal!
Great video mate, love the shots. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video man, some lovely images! Looking forward to the next upload
Hi Mark, thanks a bundle for your nice comments. Glad to hear you liked the photos. I've got some more video ideas for the near future so stay tuned. Hope your having a great week. Peace, Tim.
Shot at 3:18 is by far one of my favourites, I’ll have to try some multiple exposures on my Maniya 645! Great video!

leah I’ve got a mamiya 645 super. Great camera isn’t it. What lens you got on it?
@@ZainRiza I've been shooting my 90mm on my 67. I've got my eyes on a 50mm for a second lens for some nice wide angle stuff.
nice one mate
Just found your channel! Great stuff man. Subscribed!
Thanks so much! Glad you like the content. Have a great weekend!
Awesome and useful video, thanks
Thanks Alejandro and have a great week.

It got me thinking.. did you have the light seals replaced on the RB67 by any chance?

If the red spot is showing is it bc is in double exposure?
If you flip the switch to reveal the red spot, it means it will allow the shutter to fire, even without winding the film forward. Usually it won't let you fire the shutter until you've advanced the film. So this is like taking the safety off.
Time for a new video!!!!!!! Haha.
Hope you are doing well during this pandemic. Take care.

wait I still don't get it on how to do double exposure.. can anyone put step by step below thank you. great video by th way!
Hi Garry. It's simply a case of not advancing the film between shots. Expose the same frame twice and you get a double exposure. Hope this helps.
This is the original RB67, not the Pro S?
It's the Pro SD
Damn, think I shot my whole last roll with the red dot showing 😩
lmaoooo
It's all a learning curve! I made that mistake myself.
@@timothy-mcgaw yup as long as you advance both levers, after each shot you should be good tho ( to not do double exposures)
First. ;)
