I came across your channel via Thomas Heaton and I am really impressed what and how you are seeing nature! I totally love the no bs talk here about the latest and greatest gear and rocking that 645Z! The first picture is really nice but I am actually wondering how you processed it, because somehow it looks a lot different in color than it looked in real life or on your LCD. It has a greenish tint and that makes it in the end! Alex

@@roostermotion Hi, thanks for giving me a look. It’s a tricky one this because there’s the white balance of the video camera, the the white balance of the camera and the LCD view in how it renders on the video camera. I recap on this video I was exporting the images from PS as save for web which used to alter the colours slightly. It’s something I knew was happening but didn’t know why. I don’t do this anymore. I guess what I’m trying to say is my results were not as accurate on the older films as they are today. Also, sadly the 645z has gone into retirement in favour of something newer. But again, this channel doesn’t dwell on that sort of thing. Very rarely anyway.

@@killpop8255 it’s probably easy for me to say this but there’s a leaf squashed on the pavement that I pass most days thats just begging to be photographed. On this channel I created a wonderful image of two aspen leaves on the roof of a glass bus shelter. It sounds as though you’ve been dealt some bad cards but try not to let them create barriers for you. Images are at every corner.

The dead leaves image resonates deeply with me, reflecting so much about life - the journey we take, the purpose we seek, and how it all eventually culminates. It feels both philosophical and emotional, especially as it coincides with the loss of a family member. Thank you for sharing something so meaningful.

Hopefully from watching your videos I am slowly 'Learning to See' thank you for sharing.

@@alexelley6283 Hi Alex. Thanks for buying the book. It’s generous people like you who help support the channel and ultimately paid for the camera which I did buy myself. Hasselblad don’t seem to value the quality that some of the smaller channels offer. They only seem to help those who need it the least in order to help themselves. I suppose thats business for you.

Simon, good video once again and some lovely images too. What I am struck by in this video is how different woodlands are in your part of the world. I live in SE Australia and typically what you find here in any forest or woodland is a significant understorey of small trees and shrubs, if not forbs and grasses. What strikes me in the first location you show in this video is the almost complete absence of understorey vegetation. Is that natural or is it being kept clear by grazing animals?

how are you finding the switch to the Hasselblad? I have to say the images look different to your Pentax, but the Pentax seemed to have a more organic look which some (myself included!!) might prefer. The Hasselblad ones look more detailed but also more clinical. As I said, it's a matter of taste and I prefer the older look. I shoot my images with either a modern Fujifilm X-H2 and ultra-sharp Laowa lens, or an old Nikon D700 and Nikon macro lens. While the Fuji images look stunning, there is just something about the Nikon ones (perfect imperfection maybe?) that makes me keep picking that camera and lens up!
@SimonBoothPhotography12 күн бұрын
@@duringthemeanwhilst in terms of how the images look. I’m not sure it’s possible to compare the look of an image fairly to one taken on a different camera unless it’s the same image shot on the two different cameras at the same and time in the same light. Even then you might process the two slightly differently. What I have adopted with the Hasselblad is I’m processing with Phocus rather than Lr. When I’ve tried to process with Lr alongside Phocus, I’ve preferred the version from Phocus every time. I do get what you mean with the look of the images prior to the switch but so far, I’ve yet to see a difference myself between the two.
