I love chillin and watching your vids man, so good every time. Something special about velvia too. Would love to come shoot some landscapes with ya in NZ sometime!
I have just seen a few of your videos and I like them a lot: your film photography and the way you express your emotions in them. The speech at the end of this video appeals me a lot. Thanks for your work and please, never give up taking film photos and sharing them with us. Greetings from Spain.
Thank you for your kind words. Did you see my film photography book. Learnt about it here www.kickstarter.com/projects/volcanicaotearoabook/volcanic-aotearoa-new-zealand-photography-book
As always great video Stephen and nice shots - I don't mind that not every week something is coming - quality before quantity. And like you said, there is also a life besides photography which is important. Keep up the good work and I look forward to the next one. Greetings from Germany
I would love go see a compendium video on slide film - all the info in one place, like exposure latitude and characteristics, how they react to over and under exposure etc. Maybe some day you could share knowledge.
Amazing shots, Stephen. I’ve historically only used Provia and in fact I just shot my first 120 roll of Ektachrome last week. But your results with Velvia are really selling it for me. Well done all around and I very much appreciate the technical side of your videos.
Enjoy following you through your process. And, yes, sometimes we muck things up a bit, but at the end of the day we've learned something and had yet another fine adventure. Cheers.
E100 and Velvia 50 are the 2 films that I use almost exclusively so I was curious to see what you got here. Your photos show the same thing I’ve observed with V50 is that it has a strong pink cast which gives strong warm colours but whites can sometimes look pinkish. When I want super beautiful whites E100 is beautiful and I add filters for warmth such as the 81A that I almost always use with E100 and occasionally an 81C and if I want that pinkish cast like Velvia then I use a KR3 filter. I really hope these 2 stocks are around for a long time as I love both of them.
Just found your channel. Thanks for the video and your thoughts. Really appreciate seeing your process including the mistakes. That makes the process very real. Very nice images as well. Thanks again. Keep them coming.
Absolutely stunning. I just got a Mamiya 645 100s waiting for film to arrive .. could you let me know roughly what settings you used for the Velvia 50 … that would be great 👍. Keep shooting your photos are beautiful. Cheers Tom.
Hey Stephen, really appreciate the time you put into the video and the nice thoughts about the image-making process. As I am also working full time and beeing a fulltime husband and father I know how hard it is to take the time that you need to get some videos done. Really nice that in the end you came up with some wonderfull images. I really liked the comparison between velvia and ektachrome. I defenitely need to shoot in this place in future . This area looked so beautiful and you really put one more topic on my bucket list. Just one thing and I know what I am talking about. Its more like a style thing. Realted to 0:50seconds - 0:58 seconds: "Dont put to many stuff in the pockets of a slimfit jeans... ;D Dont take that to serious... ;D Enjoy your day. Really waiting for more videos to come. Greetings from Berlin
Hey, thanks for the nice message. NZ is a great place and well worth a visit. I think I need a photography vest with lots of pockets. I haven’t found one yet that I like. I hope all is well with you and Germany. Cheers
Hey Stephen, My family and I made a cruise trip to NZ in October 2019 and made a day trip to the same beach during our in Auckland stopover. I shot a number of scenes with Godzilla (RB67 Pro SD) using Velvia 100. Hell of a walk to car park though!
Great video as always :) Im going to buy the Sekonic 858, i need a spotmeter. I tried with with a Gossen Sixtomat 2 with mixed results and i would like to try my Velvia 100 but i have just not had the guts for it. Heres hoping the Sekonic will do it for me, just not a cheap one. Thanks for sharing, its your fault i have this problem now. in a good way of course ;)
@@StephenMilner I think too, i just love how it looks. Is there a possibility you will make a short video explaining how you set the meter up if its not to much to ask? English isn´t my native language and im sorry if i sound to direct. And thank you very much for answering, not many youtubers are doing that :)
Thank you 🙏 I like love the 6x6 format, the extra 2 shots per roll, interchangeable backs and the ability to see the affect of my grad filters through the viewfinder. I prefer the weight and ergonomics of the Mamiya. I’m thinking of trying the Mamiya 6 out.
Great video, shame about the shots that may have come out overexposed, were you able to rescue any? Also the music towards the end was quite loud compared to the narration which made it difficult to hear.
Awesome camera man. I had a good year with my Mamiya 7 and then swapped it for a Hasselblad. I miss the lightweight setup and I’m thinking of getting a Mamiya 6. I hope you are creating some great images with your 7.
Beautiful video very confident speaker carrying and exposing camera to... From scene to scene. Be very careful of your foot step lots of money on that shoulder
Lovely stuff! I’ve fallen in love with shooting medium format seascapes, got a 67 but pining for a hasselblad! ( liked subscribed., check my terrible videos !)
If are were you I would keep the Pentax 67 a great camera for all type of photography, and especially Landscape photography, and the Pentax 67 SMC lenses are just fantastic. For the price of a Hassy, check how many 67,film, and good inspirational books you can buy to get for the same results. At the end, as you might know the quality of a picture depends more on the person behind the camera, the quality of the light, and something called LUCK (being at the right place and a right time, with right weather 🤔🤔🤔). A camera never makes a picture. I know a great Japanese Landscape Photographer, living in the US,who owned a Hassy 500CE if I remember we'll,, but one of his best shot was made with a Canon FT 35mm camera and an Canon FD zoom lens, Not kidding. The choice of a camera, in my opinion, should be more how it can be handled, format, weight, simplicity of operation, availability of parts, cost of repair, etc..as film cameras are all very old, But at the end it is all a question of preference. Said that I wish you all the joy of shooting FILM...
@@roiloubia4483 Actually I now have both , I like my 67 for fast snappy fun shooting but for the kind of photography I do I find the 500 cm a much better machine for a great number of reasons to long to list
@@AustenGoldsmithPhotography Nice that you still managed to keep the 67. I personally own the earlier version, 6x7 with MLU, with another same body as a backup. I am preparing to go back to landscape photography after I stopped 11 years ago. I might have to search for a new good used carbon tripod, my old Gitzo too heavy for a 72 years old man. Wish you a lot of fun with your bodies. Take care.
@@roiloubia4483 I just got an intrepid 4x5 , loaded my rucksack to use it for the first time ever tomorrow morning , that thing weighs nothing , food for thought

Thanks mate. That will be awesome! You’re welcome anytime. I’m hoping to make it over to the US in the not so distant future.
Hasselblad 503CW absolutely beautiful content !

Nice video...sand reminded me of my coast down in 🇨🇱...very similar... Velvia is tricky ... Cheers.
Great video. Listening because of your accent. It's so cool.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you sir ;
In my country the films are obsolete and I ve some since
2006 ektachrome EPP ; my fav .
Really enjoyed
Tks again
Stunning photos
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for upload the video and great as always.

Enjoy following you through your process. And, yes, sometimes we muck things up a bit, but at the end of the day we've learned something and had yet another fine adventure. Cheers.

Thank you. Settings depend on lighting conditions. Use a light meter
That shot at 8 minutes is just beautiful - lovely work Stephen!
Thank you
First time watching one of your videos, Stephen... really enjoyed it man. Super low key, but informative and well paced... nice work!
Thanks Chris! Glad you liked it.
Thanks for another great video Stephen and congrats on the 2K!
Thank you 🙏
Perfect! More about your metering

Hello stephen, wich filteradapter do you use for the b50 b60 lenses? By the way great video 👌🏻
Thank you 🙏 Sensia or Fotodiox make them
14:05 You can recognize us Hasselblad shooters right away. When we immediately re-cock the camera and lens after every shot.

It’s a great meter. Lol, once you start using slide film it’s hard to stop.

I’m planning to do a review of the meter soon.
@@StephenMilner Thank you very much, i really appreciate it.
@@StephenMilner Just received my Sekonic L-858D meter and i have to say its a really nice piece of hardware.
Great video! What app did you use in this video? And what tripod? Thank you
Thanks. Reciprocity Timer. My tripod is a Leofoto
Hi Steph, can i use filters like yours on a nikon F6?
Your wide angle lens will need checking. Check on the Nisi website, they have a tool that will tell you. If not, email Nisi and ask them.
Great video Stephen! Amazing shots!! How are you liking the Hassie compared to your Mamiya 7?
Thank you 🙏 I like love the 6x6 format, the extra 2 shots per roll, interchangeable backs and the ability to see the affect of my grad filters through the viewfinder. I prefer the weight and ergonomics of the Mamiya. I’m thinking of trying the Mamiya 6 out.
What mobile application you use?

Thank you 🙏 Not the overexposed shots. Thanks for the heads up on the audio, i’ll watch out for that in my next video.
makes me buy a mamiya 7 and never makes a video with it afterwards :) Well played mr milner well played.

Why not just pop your filter off and measure through your NDs so you dont’ have to do the math- just shoot what it measures through the grads and ND
