Photographing Great Light, But Which Camera Will Work Best?

- Fuji X-T3 crop sensor or Hasselblad 501cm medium format film camera? That was the decision I was faced with when on a Landscape Photography trip in Iceland. I think that image quality is more about timing and the subject matter within the photograph rather than the resolution of the camera used to capture it. In this video I shoot the same scene with both cameras; Fuji X-T3 and the 501cm loaded with Fuji Velvia 50.

Hehe, I recognize that frantic approach when the light happens :)
There are several UA-camrs that post "long" videos that are just unwatchable sometimes..
And then there are others like Sean Tucker and Paul C Smith that are a joy to watch even if they were talking for an entire hour..
You fortunately belong in the 2nd group..
Your videos are always interesting to watch..
Love your work!!!!
Just keep them coming 😁 🙌🏻
I've been watching Tom for so long now, he's content is fantastic but he does waffle on at times.
You and I have a very different definition of “ok”. That photo is gorgeous.
Ok, that Velvia shot is absolutely stunning!
Have to agree with that. Gorgeous! ❤️❤️❤️
I think that velvia shot really captured the loneliness and starkness of the landscape. Just a quality shot. Thank you for the content.
I have a request, would you make a video about your scanning and color correcting proces? I struggle with getting the right colors while scanning my negatives. Which makes for a very inconsistent workflow and results. Your shots look absolutely wonderful! Take care
Same here.
Seconded :)
Third-Ed please
Try Negative lab pro with dng (raw) scan from your flat bed, or you can use your camera raw file.
Enjoyed it as always Tom.. but please stop describing film as temperamental or unpredictable. Velvia is unforgiving and requires near perfect exposure.. but it's not fickle. Metered properly and well developed, it'll give perfectly reliable results. If anything is unpredictable.. it's your metering, sorry bro. :D not suggesting it's easy to meter perfectly reliably.. we're all working at it. :)
I’ve been following you on UA-cam for 3 years now and I’m happy to see your development in photography. Thank you for sharing Thomas!
That velvia shot is hauntingly beautiful! Amazing!!!
Loved the Velvia shot! I bought your book and I absolutely love it! It is fantastic! I love the stories that you tell that you don’t necessarily hear about in the video! Keep up the great work!
thomas is so hard on the the film setup. poor hasselblad doesn't know what love is LOL
I love how every video of yours tells a nice little story, not too short and not too long
Honestly love your videos man! Been subscribed to you for about a year now and I’ve learnt so much. But you’ve also completely rekindled my desire to get out shooting
Gosh, amazing photos, good light ! Congrats Tom, loved all images
YES! You did get the shot, well done TH. I do love your enthusiasm and excitement of what you do. I'm enjoying watching Alister and Adam's VLOG episodes as well, great diversity but with a unified core love og the art of photography. I need some of that enthusiasm, Cheers.
It is really good to see you enjoying what you are doing again. Great moment, thx for sharing.
Your experience and feel is really inspirational for me to be patient and willing to build on my own experience and feel. And to prove this the last shot on velvia was stunning
I am loving your Iceland series, amazing ! looking forward to the next one.
Landscape photographers always go through these once in awhile and sometimes the results are great 👍🏻.
I appreciate your commitment to the channel and putting out content for us to be entertained.
I loved all of your images this time, especially with good light kicking off. I have always been amazed by how knowledge of the film choices available will effect the viability of images. Great choices.
Found this channel the other. Such fantastic content.
I've been to Iceland before but missed out on all of this because of my lack of skill for hiking and photography. Absolutely can't wait to go back.
The final image is an absolute keeper! Well done!
final image came out fantastic!
You did it. Man, you did it. That Velvia shot is wonderful!
Beautiful final image. Finished the vlog of a treat.
So enjoyable and such great images! Thanks for this video!
I found myself behind the monitor saying "take the shot, do it, don't vlog, take the shot!!" 🤣
Velvia shot came out incredible. Love it and the process and craft behind it is a huge part of the process. Congrats mate! Long live film.
Surpassed all expectations of that film shot.
Stunning mate. More of the same please.
love this vlog its always happens you leave the light comes then its a mad rush . excellent video thomas
Once again excellent Thomas
That last Velvia shot rules!!!! The blues in the mountain shadows and the gold!!! Such a Velvia win!!! Excellent metering too!
Oh Man! Just looking at the velvia shot I was imagining you jumping and saying “Yes! Yes! Yes!” amazing work 👍🏼
Another great video as usual, good to see you made it into the Daily Mail today.
You are a great photographer. Live in the moment with your photography and stop worrying so much about what people think.
Neat, I enjoy the broad comparison. Fun to have two such different types of cameras to use, especially for less-serious trip like this one with friends. I wonder if the first image would look better with some helpful cropping but they're all such lovely scenes. I'm looking forward to the next video!
There's something so satisfying about actual film. Knowing you can't just take as many as necessary until you get it right , and that when you do get it right the pure joy.
Wonderful picture
Well done, once again. Keep it up 👏🏻🔥
Looks like such an awesome place, I hope I'll be able to visit one day and enjoy it as well.
Nice one Thomas , superb video , superb images
Video editing on point in this one Thomas.
The Velvia shot looked amazing, as did the other photographs. By the way, I ordered your hardcover book, and I am giving it an enthusiastic thumbs up. 😊
Wowwww. What a great view! Wonderfully shot! 👋👋👋
Fantastic video and excellent shots. I am really enjoying this series. Cheers, Duade
Nice article in the mail online about your book Tom, good stuff.
Being new to landscape photography I've no idea about using film, so I'm loving seeing you use the hasselblad in the field. Would be great to see you develop the images if that's what you do yourself. Fantastic image at the end. Really enjoying your content 👍
I personally found that with square format, more negative space is better. Meaning, less ground, more sky. But that's just me :)
Yo! Maybe split the difference and add in a bit of sky at the expense of the land to have the river running closer to the bottom of the frame.
That said, I have no idea how you get such gorgeous square format shots. I usually hate square crops.
Yo? I didn't mean to write that...
Film will always produce something with more depth as the emulsion has a physical thickness to it. This is the reason it is better, for the most part, to over-expose film images; the more the film is exposed, the thicker the negative in that area, thus creating something with actual depth. If you're searching for the reason film just looks different, this is the reason.
There is certainly a time and a place for both film and digital. As you said though, it doesn't really matter what camera you shoot with as long as what you are doing is making you happy.
Hearing your discussing side by side of MF and Digital side by side...looking forward to seeing results, but love the process getting there. Velvia 50 was always one of my favorites to shoot with. Now seeing it, yep, as expected, great saturation. Great job sir!
Amazing shots! Love it, best regards.
Awesome shots, Tom!
You make your expedition very interesting and fun. Your commentary is enjoyable and edifying 👍👍👍👍👍
Always wonderful shots.
Awww My homeland....💕💕💕 great video. Thanks for sharing
You agree with me now, elite level film camera haha great video as always. Deep respect for film as it paved the way forward. I was around for the film era but tbh I dont have found memories of it like you do but I respect it :)
Thanks. Glad you got away.
Great bit of filmmaking. Couple of great shots.
Fantastic images and footage that you have come away with. 👍🙂
Incredible Velvia composition... cheers, be safe... 🇨🇱
Yep, Velvia image = perfect. Avid Hasselblad fan and the tense moments, working for the shot brings so much more satisfaction when you hit it perfectly. I also am an avid Fujifilm user and love both systems. Thanks for sharing your work.
I can never get enough of looking down at an image through medium format ground glass!
Loved the velvia image! Great video.
As a Fuji fan I love that shot but as a film fan I absolutely love that shot. Great video mate love it.
I do remember fondly using Fuji Velvia back in the 90's - the reds, blues and greens on my photos from USA & NZ were fantastic but exposure was hit and miss due to my lack of skill. As I'm just an enthusiast I'd not go back from digital but I can see it would have an attraction to a Pro though.
Your videos make me very happy
That hasselblad image carry’s you soul to tranquility
1. Reminds me of how much more discipline is needed with film cameras (I used to shoot on an Olympus OM1 - great camera - & develop & print my own B&W - happy days). 2. Received your book (at last - postal delays getting to Australia). Loving it - the whole thing is quality 👍👏
wow tom that last image was stunning
Stunning velvia shot
Love Infinity Ripple, especially this one, a favourite track of mine for timelapse.
Now you know what the fuss about a Hasselblad and Velvia combination is all about. Stunning shot.
That last one is really stunning.
great video and awesome photos!
Hi Thomas. I love the video, and thanks for using the Hasselblad! As a fellow Hassy owner, I learned the hard way that when taking longer exposures, the cable release needs to be depressed until the shutter in the lens has run its course, unlike traditional 35mm camera lenses that will keep the shutter open to its predetermined interval regardless of how long the shutter button was depressed. I think it is just a quirk with this cameras. But the resulting images are so worth the idiosyncrasy. Looking forward to the next video!
I like the XT-3 shot and the velvia shot for different reasons. They tell a slightly different story. I not shoot most of my landscape on 4x5 film, not because the camera is better or film is better, but because the limitations and slow work flow make me better.
Looking forward to the next video. I like that you show us the ups and downs and what's going on in your head when you take the shot. We don't always believe in every shot we take, at the moment of taking it, but sometimes we just have to trust our gut and take the shot anyway.
Great images of the excited photographer
Superb Thomas 👏
Beautiful indeed! I commented after Adam Gibbs’ recent video that it is really nice to see somewhere else in Iceland than the shot-over coastal sites.
That's some old-timey stuff there. lol Love it!
Excellent vlog, very amusing. The first shot with the stream seemed to look much better in the viewfinder where its reversed.
The Velvia shot looks great. It would be nice to see it next to the X-T3 shot. Keep up the great work. Thanks
Gorgeous image Tom.
I blinked and missed you switch to film. Some amazing stuff, but you are right, very few people will look at a shot and think about what it was shot on, they will look at the image and story behind it.
Velvia is how I remember landfall photos and paintings. It is always amazing when it pans out.
A thumbs up just for excitement you experienced that's what photography is about.
I feel if I was to google storyteller, your face would pop up ! Haha Amazing video and shots as always. That last velvia shot 😍
Nothing throws me off quite like a Thomas Heaton video not ending with “bye for now”.
Thomas you are now a star, featured article in the daily mail
Thomas leaving on the edge :), reminds me of your very early camping videos.
Finished picture taken on Velvia was cracking, nice one.
I think I'm usually drawn to photos not taken on film, however in this instance, I REALLY love the shot you took on your Hasselblad. I think film was definitely the perfect medium for this composition
Really like the square image at the beginning. Can't go wrong with portra
If you're going to shoot color film you should add a couple 81A, 81B warming filters to your kit. Don't be afraid to take any shot. It pays homage to the film gods! Nice work as always!!
Wow the Velvia shot 👍🏻
You are making me want to take a roll of Velvia 50 out of the freezer and go out onto the local moors, but I have to go work in an hour 😒. Beautiful images by the way!
Ordered your book!
Really enjoying watching you on this film discovery journey mate .. loved the images .. one question.. do you do any post processing on the digitisation of the film image when putting it into the video ?
Absolutely beautiful 😍
You might have done well with Velvia in those muted conditions in Iceland, however in my experience the greens velvia produces are over the top garish, and the Portra films work great in larger sizes. I thought your last images were really wonderful, and have enjoyed your videos immensely. Keep it up! I hope to be able to swing one of your workshop at some point.
I have one 'modern' camera, an EOS-R, and couple of out of date DSLRs [nice ones] and a bunch of truly archaic film cameras - and a bunch of nice-old glass, much of which I inherited from my late father - but some was mine dating back to the 1980s. So, when I head out for the day I take one camera and two or three lenses.
These days I buy the fastest [used] lenses I can afford, half of them are primes: 50mm, 85mm, 130mm. All of my very best fotos come from those prime lenses - they just can do more.
*'Constrains force creativity,'* that is the law. Watching the dogwood trees bloom behind my local supermarket at night last spring under the parking lot lights, it was a real battle between my EF16-35mm F2.8 and the EF 85mm f1.2. One lens won in the end only because it could gather more light, I was taking 26-35 second exposures, I had never done anything like that before, but the results were magical, all of these luminous white blossoms with the 12ft tall, orange, Caterpillar tractor parked in the middle of the lot... Yes! I did not know that existed, but I got it!.
At a certain point you just have to put yourself in the way of magic, and have the right set of tools in your camera bag to photograph it. You just have to be a little patient, if it is not there tonight it might be there tomorrow night - if not you are just SOL. SOL happens a lot too.
That EF85mm f1.2? It weights about *three pounds,* I cary it as often as I can, why?, most of my very best photos have come from that one lens.
Cracking video and that Pano if it was wine it would be the best vintage out there, stunning light
beyond all technical comparisons and some other techny stuff , i mesmerized with the beauty of the location and serene atmospheric condition..by the way i'll be digging into medium format issues.
