Spring Hiking in the PNW with my Mamiya 7ii (and girlfriend)

[@jessejayphotography]

Bro taking both his girls on the same hike. Power move.

[@BraeHunziker]

😭😭🤣

[@RolandKaufmann]

Don’t be so hard on yourself, the photos were more than fine! Kentmere in the backcountry is a vibe 😎.

[@garymorrow9324]

I so agree with you.

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you very much 🙏🏻

[@jonathanfoo3933]

u should definitely try some colour filters like yellow or orange to increase contrast and get the dark sky white puffy clouds look!!

[@BraeHunziker]

Definitely will be using color filters this summer when I get out on the trail again 👍🏻

[@RussWeymouthPhotography]

I've also had those days when out on a photo hike when the photos I've taken don't excite me. Sometimes it's just great to get out on a hike and get some exercise and fresh air. That hike was definitely worth it for the portrait of the two of you.

[@BraeHunziker]

Couldn't agree more! If ya end up with a couple decent photos, that's always a bonus!

[@patrickonfilm]

Love the pictures! Glad to hear that getting your film developed and hating every image is not just me 🤣

[@BraeHunziker]

Haha happens to all of us 😅

[@gayleruble6529]

Dude…all images were cool…but the self-portrait of “yours and mine” with Alicia…was fire. Digging the B/W as that is what I cut my teeth on…yeah I have a “couple” years on ya! Whatever that means…LOL

[@BraeHunziker]

Haha thank you! Appreciate the comment and taking the time to check out the vid 👍🏼

[@sunshine7447]

I love your videos. Your videos are always very real and authentic. The balance between music, image and your ability to tell a story is very heartwarming.

[@toine1915]

Hi, Brae. I watched the entire video and was not bored for a single second. It is a beautiful environment there. And as for black and white, I shoot 95% black and white. So you won't bore me with black-and-white work, friend. Keep making memories. Kind regards from the Netherlands, Antoine.

[@DLivingston]

You're always worth it Brea, just give us the content.

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you sir ❤️

[@jvladcliff4083]

For what it's worth I thought it was a good video. I like these hike up the mountain vlog types that you do, would like to see more of them. You know photos are photos, for me a big part of what I enjoy about photography is going out and being in a place and working the process and using a camera I really like to photograph the things that I love. Tri-X is my favorite B+W for landscape, always get some drama out of it.

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks for the kind feedback! Been a while since I've shot tri-x. Need to pick up a few rolls. Cheers!

This man only drops bangers 🔥🔥

[@BraeHunziker]

We tryin

[@kalimo336]

Love the photos but the grading of the video is what really got me. Looks awesome.

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@javixo1997]

Brae some time ago: I sold the Mamiya, too expensive, lenses too sharp and something else I don't remember Brae now: I love the Mamiya! Hahaha I get you, it really just feels right, doesn't it? Random fact: I just scanned some tests I did a while ago and it matched and sometimes surpassed the resolution of my Sony a7rii, quite impressive.

[@I.Math.P]

loved the vibe of the video bro, the picture at 15:20 is definitely my favorite, looking forward to some more videos now that its getting nicer up there in the PNW. Keep up the good work

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks dude. Appreciate the comment 🙏🏻

[@KhurshidsChannel]

Nice Video. Thank you for sharing.

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks for watching!

[@MacnTeensVisuals]

Totally understand the feeling man, but at the end of the day you can only try and see how it goes. Getting those candid shots for memories is something I have really tried to do more of recently too, like you said those are the ones you will want to look back on in years to come. Looked like a solid day in the mountains either way ✌

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks dude! Yeah, definitely can't complain either way. At worst, it was an awesome day out on the trail. 🤘🏼

[@bobsykes]

The B&W definitely worked well for the sell portrait of you two, really for all the people photos. Nice hike! Cheers.

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks Bob! Cheers.

[@briantallman244]

Liked this one. It motivated me to plan a hike as soon as the weather improves (which could be May here on the west coast of Norway). I liked the shots as well. It was a good reminder that medium format can be used for everyday shots. Oh, and I had to smile when you mentioned the therapy of the outdoors. When I head out the door for a hike I tell my wife I´m going to see my therapist. Good video. Just what I needed. Keep it up, and get out there.

[@BraeHunziker]

Love it. Thanks Brian. Very eager to do some hiking in Norway this year!

[@jrp95]

I had a similar experience recently in Boston. Random 50 degree February day - but all the trees/foliage were of course absolutely dead. My photos were way worse than yours. At least we both got out there. Proper spring and summer cannot come soon enough!

[@BraeHunziker]

Getting out there is all that matters! A day in the outdoors is a good day!

[@4Dcruz]

I’m always the one in my group who ends up in the water so I respect your game. Real recognize real

[@BraeHunziker]

Haha someone’s gotta do it

[@edwardsblake3630]

Love your videos in general weather the photos turn out “good” or bad. Keep it up

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you dude 🤝🏼

[@gearsaw]

9:03 I stuck around and I’m glad I did, great video and great photos Brae!

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you!

[@CheckeredFlagPodcast]

I have bad rolls too and it’s a downer. But then I realized I still got a walk or hike in!

[@BraeHunziker]

Exactly!

[@steven_90s]

Still a great video. Looking forward to more hiking videos! I'm really looking forward to being able to to hike the PNW for the first time this summer (travelling from Ottawa).

[@BraeHunziker]

Thanks! That’ll be an awesome trip. Enjoy the northwest!

[@johnmilner0859]

I enjoyed it like all your films.

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you, John!

[@thedarkslide]

9:04 That's the issue right there. I'll take a moody day over a sunny day for midday photography at Middle Fork any time. ;)

[@BraeHunziker]

You're not wrong!

[@thedarkslide]

@@BraeHunziker Remember the community hike you organized some time back? THAT kind of weather makes for great BW images!! :)

[@larrylust1976]

I had a stroke about 6 yrs ago. I walk unbalances with a cane. But i love photography. Im limited on walking, but you always do great hikes i was a part of. Stay up!

[@BraeHunziker]

So sorry to hear that. Glad you’re enjoying the videos. All the best ❤️

[@loganguybaker]

The 43mm is the move, gahdangg

[@BraeHunziker]

I love it so much

[@skitzhills]

M8 why apologise, I really did enjoy the video 😌

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you haha

[@adventuresofjandk]

Did you move away from the Pentax? How do feel about the new setup

[@BraeHunziker]

Still have the Pentax 67ii and it’s still my favorite camera. Just use the Mamiya when I need a more portable and lightweight setup!

[@Suburb_hell]

I’m blind, what was happening around 13:08?

[@EvanGenduso]

what do you record with? i do photography but id really like to get nice quality shots when im out in nature sadly my nikon d3300 doesnt really shoot videos well

[@BraeHunziker]

Sony a7iv

[@joshuarhea1648]

Speaking of filters. try kentmere 400 with a red filter. Seriously!

[@mdbdoc]

That bromance product placement…

[@steveneate]

As it turns out, you don't need to have taken the most incredible photos to make an enjoyable video.

[@BraeHunziker]

Well thank you!

[@mosesvega1300]

'Promo SM' ✨

[@aristoioannidis7490]

Kudos Brae. Blessings to you, Alicia and your wonderful family at Easter.

[@BraeHunziker]

Thank you! Happy Easter to you as well!
