Can you frame bigger than XPAN!? | rainy Copenhagen + Kodak TMAX P3200

[@maxwellwellmax878]

Ahhhhhhhhh Karin on a Sunday Morning with my Coffee!! Thanks for the Video.

[@KarinMajoka]

Enjoy your morning and thanks for your comment! :)

[@reneholbrugge7920]

I like this idea. Works out great.

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks for your comment! :)

[@paulhenry7678]

Great concept and a lot of fun! Many thanks for this one, Karin.

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it :)

[@k0jak570]

This video was fun. Nice pics!. Those handwaving passant are most the time anoying, but to be fair this one were awesome :) Didn´t know Hockney befor, what a nice artist.

[@olympus2OM]

Very nice stitching. Congrats.

[@kevinlack5634]

Great video Karin :) I’m glad your ‘kangaroo pouch’ jacket saved your XPan from getting too wet! I really liked your vertically overlapping stitched images, my favourites being the steps leading up and the guy that stopped to say hi. I also liked the shot of the unicorn head high up on the corner of the building :)

[@swedesrus25]

As always, well done!

[@kwmfoto]

I have loved the stitching of images since I first saw Mike & Doug Starn's work when studying photography when in high school, really cool to see the idea of using panoramic images to stitch.

[@KarinMajoka]

I just did some research on them just now since I did not know them beforehand: wonderful body of work and truly very inspirational! Thanks for your comment. :)

[@NunoAlmeidaPhotography]

Those images look so cool and would make for awesome prints!

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks for your comment! Printing them would definitely be worth a try, good idea :)

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

A very exciting concept with the merged images. I find David Hockney images super because he not only changes the perspective but also the time. Movement through multiple images. Like a failed iPhone panorama only analog. You dare to do something new with your videos every time.That’s great! The best I found the series of pictures 8:58 with the funny guy. Since you have here somehow the time and space relation. :D

[@KarinMajoka]

Yeah, Hockney's work is next level, hard to compare something to that since he mastered the time-space paradox in his images. Thanks for your comment! :)

[@jantielens]

Very inspirational! I'm going to try stitching with film as well. :) Looking forward to the next videos.

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks for your comment! :)

[@toulcaz31]

Cool stuff Karin. It reminds me of Holgaramas.

[@KarinMajoka]

Holograms are such an interesting concept as well. Thanks for your comment! :)

[@Bonsees]

Love this idea Karin!

[@KarinMajoka]

Thank you, Bon! :)

[@Bonsees]

@@KarinMajoka my pleasure!

[@62smarty]

Hey Karin, interessantes Konzept - muss ich auch ausprobieren.! 😀

[@KarinMajoka]

Danke! Viel Spaß beim Ausprobieren! :)

[@johnhendrick_photo]

Great idea; I am going to have to try this out also. And thanks for that IG recommendation. 🤙🏼 love the images you captured.

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks for your comment. Have fun experimenting with this :)

[@nomimidzu8984]

Real interesting idea 💡 Awesome 👍

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks for your comment! ☺️

[@rf8221]

That was fun.

[@sophietucker1255]

I've only ever done digital images for stitching but using a film camera is an interesting idea. Also I generally use a tripod when doing a stitched pano. Hand holding adds another level of difficulty to an already tough assignment.

[@RocketinExile]

Outstanding

[@KarinMajoka]

Thank you ☺️

[@suivezlemir]

Cool video as usual :) It'd be interesting to have a video of your post development workflow, scanning, reversal, etc. Are you using Silverfast ? NLP ?

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks for your comment! I might make a video on this in the future, but first I have to get a better routine with my new workflow myself as well. I have been using Epson Scan for the longest time but recently I switched to VueScan + NLP

[@PhilKnall]

Haha, i was just about to suggest you check out Fukukawa when you mentioned him! Great stuff!

[@KarinMajoka]

His work is stunning, I am glad I stumbled upon him on Instagram!

[@EdwardIglesias]

I love the stitched images. Also really loved the look you got out of 3200 shot at 600.

[@KarinMajoka]

Thank you, it's was a fun experiment indeed! :)

[@VndyPrince]

That was awesome! Very cool

[@KarinMajoka]

Thank you! ☺️

[@VndyPrince]

@@KarinMajoka Absolutely I’d never considered stitching together photos like that, looking forward to trying it out. ✌️

[@KarinMajoka]

@@VndyPrince Glad this inspired you to try it out as well. Have fun! :)

[@andersonmartins3157]

amazing shots! i'm inspired to try to do these kind of experiments.

[@KarinMajoka]

Awesome, thanks for your comment! Have fun trying it out :)

[@quentincarlier6981]

Love these little experiments, I actually started doing similar things a few weeks back with my Mamiya C330!

[@KarinMajoka]

Oh nice, how exciting! Must be fun to try this with square images as well :)

[@spectrazone]

Such a wicked shoot! There's something I just love about the atmosphere of this gloomy Copenhagen. I don't have the X-Pan, but I am considering getting myself some 3D printed spools for loading 35mm into an RB67; this pano-composite method looks especially fun!

[@KarinMajoka]

Even though it was not as comfy, I also liked the coziness of the dark Copenhagen weather. I think using those 3D printed adapters is a fantastic solution, especially because you get to expose the sprocket holes as well, which might add another interesting dimension. :)

[@Quelix93]

Dieses, nicht an einem second hand Laden vorbei gehen können, ohne nach Kameras zu schauen, I feel you. Flohmärkte sind meine Nemesis, die Freunde fluchen schon, sobald welche in Sicht kommen. :D

[@KarinMajoka]

Ganz genauso bei mir - leider sind die Flohmärkte in meiner Umgebung inzwischen nicht mehr so toll, aber in anderen Städten habe ich schon haufenweise gute Funde gemacht und lasse mir demnach keinen Flohmarkt entgehen :D

[@JamieMPhoto]

I saw some of Hockney's 35mm montages a few years back in Arizona and I was in love. It was so cool to see them up close. I have done quite a bit of creative digital stitching, though it often begins as an accident. ha. I've really wanted to do physical collaging/montaging since I was influenced by Deborah Turbeville, Arnold Newman, Frank Ockenfels 3, and David Hockney of course. :) It hasn't happened yet ... but I'm getting there? Your shots are awesome, and thank you for sharing!

[@JamieMPhoto]

Also, I was about to shoot some P3200 at 800 ... but will now try it at 640!

[@KarinMajoka]

Seeing Hockney's work in person just hits differently, right? I remember visiting one of his exhibitions in Cologne, seeing those gigantic paintings and those Polaroid collages had a huge impact on me. Just impressive how art can affect you even years later. I will definitely also check out the other artists you have mentioned since I have not heard about most of them yet. Have fun shooting and let me know how you liked your results at ISO 640! :)

[@JamieMPhoto]

@@KarinMajoka Yes! It was a really wonderful experience and well worth the visit. Even his iPad drawings were super interesting. And that's awesome! I missed a Turbeville collage show while I was in New York a few years back and I'm still heartbroken over it. I've seen Arnold Newman's work in person, though, and actually HELD SOME. Talk about amazing! Thank you, and I'll definitely share my 640 results! :)

[@KarinMajoka]

@@JamieMPhoto I love how Hockney is embracing new media as well as he goes. Wow, holding some of one's favourite artists work must feel incredible!

[@baladino]

Maybe your idea would be great for landscape or a huge building. Wait till you expose negatives with a Contax G2. It goes through rolls incredibly fast. Thank you for your video Karin.

[@KarinMajoka]

Absolutely, I think architecture or landscape would be interesting fields to try this out another time! I have never used a Contax G2, but I believe that it makes it easy to blast through roll after roll. Thanks for your comment! :)

[@steveh1273]

Developer and time? I didn't see grain like I expected. Enjoyed this video very much, well done.

[@KarinMajoka]

I used XTOL with 1+1 solution and developed for 16,5 minutes.

[@WOUTERTAVEIRNE]

I will give it a try also! Saw those same images on insta before like you showed! Doing it the analog way :D

[@KarinMajoka]

Awesome, have fun experimenting! :)

[@Pollock.iconoclast]

Very pleasant videos! I have been wanting to try 35mm panoramic on my voigtlander 6x9 but am concerned about how to space the frame. Nice photo walk on a rainy day.

[@KarinMajoka]

I understand, that probably needs some trial and error to find the right spacing. Good luck with that! :)

[@billbasta8481]

Great video. When you shoot TMAX P3200 at ISO 800 or ISO 640, do you (or the lab) pull process it?

[@KarinMajoka]

No, I develop it regularly. If I would pull it, it would come out underexposed again.

[@Dahrenhorst]

This kind of collage reminds me of the early work of Thomas Kellner. There is an article about that in PhotoKlassik III/2017.

[@KarinMajoka]

Interesting, I will have to check it out, thanks!

[@Grainyhalos]

Ich habe gesehen, dass du die bilder in powerpoint arrangierst. Machst du dann einfach screenshots davon? Ein tolles video btw!

[@KarinMajoka]

In PowerPoint kann man die Slides in verschiedenen Formaten (z.B. JPEG oder auch Tiff) direkt exportieren, deshalb mache ich keine Screenshots sondern exportiere sie hochauflösend. :)

[@mattah]

Not sure I would be brave enough to shoot an xpan in weather like that! 😄

[@KarinMajoka]

Haha, I was a bit scared as well. BUT: in the end it's just a tool and I have my camera to use them and not put them on shelves.

[@olympus2OM]

Rainy girl.

[@carltanner9065]

I took a bunch of images, one time, and got a stitch :) :P :P No pano's, unfortunately.

[@KarinMajoka]

Hahaha, good one! Thanks for your comment. :)
