Here’s another on-location video for you. This time I’m traveling far into the field, deep into the wilderness. It’s an expedition so grand that it would make Sir Ernest Shackleton himself quiver in his boots.
Nah, I’m just going to Anaheim.
You may know Anaheim as the home to Disneyland and the Mighty Ducks, but I know it as a place with a cool-looking tire shop where I made a YouTube video about taking pictures with my 6x17 camera. And hey here comes a spoiler alert. Seriously, don’t read any further if you want your surprises un-spoiled in this video. Are you ready? Okay here goes. I shot it on CineStill 800T film. *teehee* I know! So exciting! Before this outing, I’d never shot CineStill before. It was an experience. A learning experience, no doubt. But I am happy with the results. It’s a fun film to use.
Now I of course shot it on Kodak Portra 400, too. I’m comfortable with that film and I didn’t want to blow this shoot trying something new - especially on a film that costs fourteen bucks a roll. Portra was kind of my failsafe here. So on top of watching me descend into madness trying to make this composition happen, you’ll also get to see these 2 films compared. So you know, a fun time was had by all!
The camera you see me using in this video is a Shen Hao TFC 617-A with a Rodenstock 115mm lens. I use this combo A LOT for my “architectural” work. And I put “architectural” in quotes because I don’t really consider these types of photos architectural. They’re more like my slow, tripod-based attempt at street photography. Okay I know it’s not “street” photography as we all know it, but I guess I consider it some sort of hybrid between architectural, landscape, and street photography. I need to come up with a name for it.
Anyway, thanks for watching!
