haha I love this comment. Thanks, Andrew!

The images at and just after 12:45 have a real presense and depth!

I really appreciate that!

Thanks buddy!

Thank you so much! I hope you stick around

Thank you so much!

Thank you! Happy New Year!

Im on it! 🙏

Thank you buddy! I kind of love these so more tex-pan will be coming

Thank you so much!

Thank you for saying that. I spent a lot of time shooting and editing this one 😊

Haha we definitely coordinated that

I hope it flips over by tonight! I appreciate all the support my friend!

Thank you! Cheers

Glad you enjoyed it!

getting a blank frame is never a fun thing to find out when you're developing lol

Bad developer is the worst! Hope you have better luck in the new year. Those Horsemans are tanks

You got it!

I always appreciate your comments my friend!

Many thanks!

Thank you, friend! Cheers

Thanks Rick! Same to you

But I have a question! Did you think about scanning these to include the sprocket holes? I know that could be gimmicky but there are a couple of spots where aspects of the composition got cut off like the camper van wheel… but they are probably there on the neg. Actually, I kind of like seeing sprocket holes because it’s a visual reminder of the medium on which image was made like where you see a painters image, but also strokes of their paintbrush. Sorry. I’ll stop waxing in your comments and maybe go do this myself.

haha never feel like editing yourself here, my friend. Sorry its taken me so long to get back to you. I feel the same way you mentioned about sprockets being gimmicky. Never really felt like it was necessary. As for the camper shot, you are spot on. It was poorly composed, it was my first time out shooting pano's on the 690 so it was a learning process. Even looking back, I can see how much I pulled the front of the camera up which was clearly too much but I tried to line up the abandoned apartments in the background.. It is what it is.

ohh thats a good idea. Mind if I steal it?

I really appreciate it

Thank you so much!

No way dude, do it and do it better than anyone else!

I was partial to that one as well. I am really happy to hear your take on the image. Thanks for sharing, Anthony!

I wanted to add a few things. First your videography is as compelling to me as the photography. Also, I watch a lot of KZfaq photography "influencers" and while I enjoy the content and entertainment, it often seems the who they hang out with, the events they get invited too, the sponsors and the equipment and the comedy value is foremost with them. To me, you feel like the real deal and while still entertaining and funny at times the passion and dedication for what you do is overwhelmingly evident. The locations, the background info on where you are and why, the behind the scenes scoop of what is happening adds so much to your content and shows there is so much more than just making photographs to you. Thank you for doing what you do.

That was one of my favorites too! Thanks!

You're going to love it!

haha always buddy! Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks bud

Thanks bud!

Thanks!

Always!

Thank you buddy! Its really fun to experiment with these wide pano's. How often did you do it?

@@RobbieMaynardCreates I shot a lot over the summer. A roll or two a week. We were watching my parents dogs and taking a bunch of hikes with them, made for a great excuse to get out and shoot. I've been on a bit of hiatus over the fall & winter as other hobbies came to the forefront though

Thank you!

You'll love it. Im hooked

Thank you!

Yessir!

Thanks!

haha I am making a digital contact sheet now and I can't avoid them there. Maybe I will send them to you lol

@@RobbieMaynardCreates That would be a treat. lol.

I didn't think it was too complicated but I spooled the 35mm film on an empty 120 roll (holding it in place by tape) and once I was done, I just put the camera in my dark bag and then manually rewound the film back into the cassette - It only took me a few minutes to do so. Developing was normal.

haha thank you buddy!

I did! I got it from Ebay years ago

It's a lot of fun!

@@RobbieMaynardCreates would you recommend this camera? I want to get into medium format and love rangefinders

I will be picking up a GW 690 soon and I'm happy to hear that I am not the only crazy one to own both the GW and GSW at the same time.

I think you really hit on something here. Long exposures with an effects lens? Might be interesting!

I dont need no frills lol

Happy new year!

Thank you 😊

Well shit, that's all I wanted lol

Thank you so much! I got the adapter from Etsy - You can get them pretty cheap there.

@@RobbieMaynardCreates Superthanx ! Best to you !

Yeszszzzz! Spookin it up

You're much more ambitious than I

You may hate me but... I've never seen Space Balls lol

Haha you eill love it!

It was far easier than doing all that. You have to tape the roller to the left of the take up spool. That's what triggers the frame counter. Dont forget to flip that counter to 220 so you can get all 13-14 frames!

I wrapped some tape around the counter roller. About 4 or 5 layers thick, else the film will slip on the roller

@@RobbieMaynardCreatesThanks a million! Going to give this another go then ^^

I don't mind! I record all my video on the Fuji XT4. I may upgrade to the XHS2 soon

I appreciate you answering so promptly! Insta-subscribed 30 seconds into the video haha. Looking forward to seeing all of your future uploads as well as catching up on the prior ones~~~ Happy holidays to you and yours Robbie!@@RobbieMaynardCreates

@@henlolneh I appreciate that! Thanks for helping me get to 10k!

just a 3D printed one from ebay. You can find them anywhere

I out the camera in my dark bag and just rewound it in by hand. Did it on scene in a few minutes. Loaded up again, kept on shootin!

@@RobbieMaynardCreates ah okay! I dont have a dark bag but I think taping the film to the lead of an cut off empty canister on the other side should work too :)

I agree. Its the one thing I would like to change but I make it work

Damn, thats sad!

hes shooting every time more than f8 😅

Thank you! I just use a light meter app on my phone to calculate the corresponding f-stop. I shot all of these images at f8. It's my favorite aperture for this lens.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about composition because I didnt have a mask but I think I got it buttoned up now

There are tons of videos out there already that I followed. You can find a few on KZfaq

You're more than welcome to stay :)

No sir! This was my frist time shooting Panos, made all this before I knew if a single photo would even turn out

@@RobbieMaynardCreates Yeah, seeing that film stretched over the gigantic hole back there, I'm amazed you didn't miss more details at the edges of the comps! Looks like awesome fun, and I agree, more people should play with foreground elements in panoramas. Kudos!

Correct-o-mundo my friend! I just brought my back with me and changed on the fly.

Its a Makeup and Vanity set song from MusicBed

Haha weekends are for relaxation

@@RobbieMaynardCreates that's why I'm going! You got me to do holyoke 2 years ago and almost finished!

Definitely. You would only get 8 frames and it seems pointless to waste the film like that. 35mm gives you 14-15 frames which is nice.

@@RobbieMaynardCreates AH, makes sense, I have a Hasselblad and I don't think I can do the 35mm thing with it... or can i.

Thanks bud! You can find me on Instagram - shoot me a DM

Its funny because I was looking at the Fuji 6X17 a while back and I thought I should try this first

Yes, that is correct.

@@RobbieMaynardCreates a piece of GOLD !

I have no idea lol

@@RobbieMaynardCreates Just was curious the Mamiya 7 has a 43 which is 21 mm equivalent.

I said it like 5 times in the video but I'll say it again. Its because its FUNNNNNNN lol

Welcome!

I have no idea what youre talking about lol

@@RobbieMaynardCreates Some kind of UFO :/ wahou... so strange.

haha I'll go with that. Thanks for watching, Simon!

go on lol

neat-o
