    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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...

    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
