BERLIN WIDE NIGHT | Hasselblad XPAN & Cinestill 800T at night

[@aristoioannidis7490]

A quarter strength pro mist filter does not do Cinestill 800T any justice! I am so grateful you recognised the great qualities of Cinestill 800T and how the filter detracts from its unique characteristics. Your Xpan, Cinestill 800T and Berlin combo was outstanding.

[@KarinMajoka]

Honestly I think it’s very subjective. And as I said I like that the edges of the halations appear softer with the filter, but sadly the red is also not as intensive which takes away a bit of the typical look. I think it all depends on the subject: the shot of Potsdamer Platz works great with the filter on imo, on others the more extreme Cinestill look might have been a better choice :)

[@tonysebastianukpo8824]

Congratulations, you’ve unlocked the “out of gas” achievement, for finishing a roll of Cinestill without making a photograph of a gas station 😆. Great video Karin! And the video itself is “actually” cinematic, very well done. And also lovely little project for a night out photographing the city.

[@KarinMajoka]

Hahaha, guess I must have grabbed a faulty roll of Cinestill, I thought the build in feature was at least one gas station shot on every roll 🤔 thanks, I appreciate the comment and had a proper laugh ahaha

[@randy25rhoads]

Leaving out the anti-halation coating was the right move. That light bloom is gorgeous. 🤤

[@KarinMajoka]

thanks for your comment! :)

Thank you for your comment. :)

XPAN and Cinestill? My wallet just jumped out of my pocket and out the window.

[@spyratekodaks7494]

It couldn't be more expensive for 35mm!! Oh well!! At least the photos are good!!

[@KarinMajoka]

Haha 😂

[@johnnyboy35]

I also loved the garage door photo. It's both geometrically satisfying and playfully artistic.

[@KarinMajoka]

Glad I am not the only one who oddly likes this image a lot. Thanks for your comment! :)

[@mpo734]

These photos are absolutely incredible. So cinematic.

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks for your comment :)

Hello Karin, you got the best out of the Cinnestill. I like the red glow on the edges of the lamps with the greenish colors in the rest of the images. The images look very cinematic. Absolutely awesome. You did an excellent night's work with the film.

[@davidwade9209]

Great video Ms. Majoka. Thank you for sharing! I love the concept of showing every exposure. Fascinating.

[@JoseCarvajal.]

Possibly the best video about the X-Pan I've watched to this day. Loved every shot, and personally I think the pro-mist adds a little spice of character to the Cinestill 800. My favourite was definitely the one with the heart. Stunning color palette.

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks for your very kind comment, I appreciate it a lot!

[@quentinbaudry4535]

Well I just stumbled upon this video, gathering info on how to shoot cinestill 800T and GODDAMN ! The shots are incredible, and the video well made. Thanks Karin for that super helpful video, and those amazing frames.

[@andrewjohnson4728]

Karin - thank you for creating and posting this video. It is great and so are your photos. I have several rolls of Cinestill 800T but have avoided shooting them. This was very helpful.

[@KarinMajoka]

Thank so much, glad that the video inspired you to go out yourself and shoot some Cinestill. It’s an awesome film! :)

[@marxoniomizu]

Ha, when you said a "classic" I thought now we'll see the picture of the gas station. But the Fernsehturm beats that by far. Very nice episode, thanks for sharing.

[@KarinMajoka]

Hahaha, I think my Cinestill was faulty, usually a gas station appears on the frame once you say the magic word beforehand.

[@Herzblut08]

Die Bilder und deine Art zu fotografieren ist so unfassbar toll. Ich glaube mit dir unterwegs zu sein würde echt spaß machen.

[@EMGKPhotographie]

Stunning shots!!

[@arhturkim]

I love how you treat the camera and scenes you meet on the street! But I subscribe this channel not because of the photography you are working on but your beauty! Nice vid!

Karin, loved these night shots in Berlin. Such amazing spots and lighting with your Cinestill film. Your work is 👏 and Berlin at night is a photographer's dream chance. Stay wonderful and safe.

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks so much for your kind comment. :)

[@FPVJustin]

Great video. Can you tell a bit about how you meter for these shots? I really like the exposure on you shots! I know you tell a little bit about your method in the video. But the shot if the parking lot lights I see you walking towards the lights with a meter in hand..

[@KarinMajoka]

Yes, I can elaborate a bit. I did not want to make it too complicated in the video, but maybe I might make a dedicated „how to meter at night“ video one day. How I meter depends a lot of the subjects I meter for. But in this video 95% of the time I used a lightmeter app on my phone, where I meter for the brightest and the darkest areas and calculate an average, since those apps use reflective metering. But depending on the subject I might sometimes meter differently, in the video where I shoot Cinestill in the Berlin subway station for example I used an external light meter (as you saw me use on one shot in this video as well). I use the lightmeter app for luminous subjects or when I have a bright light source in the image. When the light is more ambient or evenly distributed I prefer incident metering with my external light meter - and on the garage door I double checked with my external light meter because I also wanted to have the blinds and walls of the exterior to be properly exposed. When shooting Cinestill I do not compensate for reciprocity failure, but with other films you have to calculate additional time due to reciprocity failure. Hope that helps a bit?

[@BarrettBaker_photos]

#14 is by far my favorite! I am a sucker for neon lights!

[@KarinMajoka]

Thank you ⚡️

[@je30002]

That is super awesome. Probably one of the best photo walk videos I've seen.

All excellent pictures with this combo. I wonder if the pandemic helped with the ghostly empty streets. TFS

[@tycjantrzpiola]

Berlin is the city for that. This is also really cool combination Cinestill and Xpan. Love the effect.

[@KarinMajoka]

Thank you! :)

[@nothingness.emptiness]

Amazing colors it really adds to the look. I am going to pick up a roll and try it on my xpan. Great content

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks! Awesome, have fun shooting with it :)

[@TheBlackD]

Dream combo right here. Nice video ! I've watched a few of your videos about the pro mist filter and I wonder why you are not trying a lesser strengh ? To my eye 1/8 would be a better match for film or even 1/16 if it exists.

[@VWLivin]

Beautiful work. It feels very "Blade Runner", which is amazing.

[@JoaquimGonsalves]

I know right! 🤩

[@Coolmemorydude]

Thanks for sharing the great video. What shutter release cable do you use?

[@sidmiller8840]

#14 is a real standout for me. Awesome shots! Cinema film feels so at home in the XPan.

[@KarinMajoka]

Thank you, I appreciate it! :) Even though "cinematic" sounds like a cliché term to use, I think it is really suiting this combination.

[@braxtonrussell998]

Great video. Cinestill is the best. I would love to see a processing video of this roll.

[@ryankwan1934]

Beautiful shots! I am moving to Germany this October and your videos are giving me all sorts of ideas on places to check out.

@@KarinMajoka Welcome. Just followed you on Instagram :)

[@masonpeng5126]

Love the photos and the videos!!! And I have one question that how you deal with reciprocity failure in night film photography? Thanks for the work.

[@KarinMajoka]

For Cinestill I don‘t do any compensation, since it’s not really sensitive to reciprocity failure. For other film stocks I usually use the calculation sheets you can find included in the film box or on the website of the manufacturer. However, I heard that there are great apps for that as well.

My slowest roll 5 years...5 hours is fast! Nice shots. Thanks.

[@KarinMajoka]

Oh wow, 5 years is really something haha. I said that it’s one of the slowest rolls I ever shot „in one go“. I had rolls live in camera for months or even a year before as well, but with „slow“ I mean shot rate per shooting time :)

[@VictorWetzel]

Thank you for the awesome video! I would have liked a bit more of vertical shots... just curious to see what comes out with this constraint. I might sell one of my organ to buy a XPAN to try it out myself haha

[@KarinMajoka]

I feel like it’s even harder to find good motifs for vertical panoramas, so there are only compositions that catch my eye to be taken in vertical.

I really liked seeing all your photos. I struggle with composing for the panorama format, and my most comfortable format is square or 4x3, so seeing how you are composing these really wide panoramas gave me some ideas. I really loved the vertical panorama! 💗

[@KarinMajoka]

So nice to hear the video was a tiny bit helpful! Composing in pano is reaaaally really hard, but once you find a composition that works, it’s even more rewarding

[@方于許]

I love your photos and videos ,and I just bought a Xpan last week. I want to tell you a thing called "reciprocity failure" it means you need mahu more light when your shutter speed over 1 sec. Hope it will be helpful for you.

[@KarinMajoka]

Congrats on your new camera! :) thanks for the info. I know about reciprocity failure. However, Cinestill is not as affected of it though and can handle several seconds of exposure without any need for compensation. For other films it’s very relevant though
