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. :)

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.

I have one 'modern' camera, an EOS-R, and couple of out of date DSLRs [nice ones] and a bunch of truly archaic film cameras - and a bunch of nice-old glass, much of which I inherited from my late father - but some was mine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.

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.

When you press the shutter release on the blad you need to hold it down until you have heard the shutter in the lens close. The way you are doing it on the video (just stabbing at it) you will eventually hit a situation where the baffles at the back of the camera start to close before the shutter in the lens has closed and so get black bands at the top and bottom of your shot. The baffles close when you lift your finger from the release so if you take your finger off in a shorter time than the exposure your shot is messed up. This will happen with exposures over 1/4 of second. (maybe the 501 is better at this than the 500). You can see this work by looking through the back of the camera whilst making an exposure. Also don't snap your backs on! Slide the button when you put them on as well or the catches will eventually break. Back in the day it was fine to snap them on but these days things are getting irreplaceable. I may be teaching my grandma to suck eggs here but it is frustrating watching you do it! Love the shows otherwise.

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!

Ansel was able to do it because he wasn't always talking to that invisible 3rd person. It was just Ansel and the scene. Also while I do understand the differences in films but if I had brought it that far I'd use it and hope for the best. It also helps to have more than 2 film backs. That is why I have 3 backs for my RB67. One B/W, one Porta 400 and one Ektachrome 100. Oh and I the love the Velvia image.

I think Hasselblads new 907X 50c digital back might slot into the back of your film camera? Not sure but you could then potentially pick and choose, film or digital. The sensor is the same as the one in Adams GFX so not as big as film but still big. So many toplandscape photographers are incorporating Fuji gear with their photography these days. Brilliant.

Well the shots are very different as the light was changing so rapidly. I think it’s hard to discern the differences in the cameras from that.
