Cirque de Gavarnie ~ Film and Digital Landscape Photography

The Cirque de Gavarnie was one of the main destinations of this trip, and after getting soaked in our first attempt, I went back there to give the place the time it deserves.
What a beautiful and stunning place this is.

wow that shot at 13:30 and the Bronica images are gorgeous

[@aows]

Thanks! One of the most beautiful places I’ve been to, for sure.

[@thomverhoeven7896]

Nice videography and story. The medium format shots are composed amazing. Keep up the good work and please more videos like this!

[@aows]

Thanks, Thom! Glad you liked it :)

[@VincentEnglebert]

Great video! Thank you for sharing your emotions.

[@aows]

Thank you, Vincent!

[@seandrepi]

Hey man, I've been enjoying your videos for months now - just wanted to comment that you've really improved your videography recently and that this video is a real step above all the others! I liked how you panned across the medium format images to show us the detail in each one before presenting us with the whole image. Doing this really demonstrates some of the benefits of shooting with a larger format. Anyways, looking forward to more from you! Cheers!

[@breadboi420]

youre right. this one i better in many ways... the closeups of the photos really kill it!!!

[@aows]

Thank you, Sean! I've been trying to focus more on the filmmaking part instead of it being just an accident while I shoot some photos. Appreciate you noticing it. Will try to always be improving :)

[@aows]

Thank you!

[@grahammcarthur1794]

beautiful place, wanna be there.....

[@aows]

It is really beautiful!

[@ColinBloodworth]

Incredible views. As always, you masterfully pair the scene with sounds. You're so good at evoking emotion. What an unbelievable amount of rain that was. Stunning photos you came out with. So, so good.

[@aows]

Thank you, Colin! Really appreciate it :)

[@RewDowns]

I love your photos and I went on Flickr to see if you had an account so I typed in aows in the search bar...just give it a try ;) lol

[@aows]

Alright 😅

[@acidsnow5915]

[@aows]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@legionchef]

Amazing stuff! Might need more sturdier umbrellas though!

[@aows]

Thanks! And yes lol, we bought them that same day at the only store that was open haha

[@christopherhowell3209]

Hi ,I like your presentation also. When you have those clouds showing up as white,.. that not look good when printed? what I mean is,..when printed.there will be bare paper showing where the clouds are.

[@aows]

The highlights are not clipping on the histogram, so there's room there to work with them. A print of that photo might be a bit of a struggle and might take a few tries until you get it right, but should be totally possible. I should try, actually :)

Cuando fuimos nosotros ,desde el hotel hacia el circo estaba muy nevado y no cruzamos el último torrente.Una alerta por fuertes nevadas nos mandó fuera de la zona .Veo que el uso de filtros de colores es importante en el bn ,tengo un amarillo a rosca y un rojo cuadrado ,pero no los he estrenado . cambiando de tema ,y sin ánimo de molestar,esa mooooza tan guapa?,no la conozco?,o a una que sé yo le sienta muuuuuuuuy bien los aires de Europa?,j,j,j,j,j,dale recuerdos .

[@aows]

Me encantaria ir con nieve, tiene que ser precioso. Sobre los filtros, depende de lo que quieras hacer :) HP5 no tiene mucho contraste y el filtro lo añade, algo que a mi particularmente me gusta. Es dificil añadirlo a posteriori cuando tienes un negativo en blanco y negro porque pierdes la informacion sobre los colores. Un archivo digital es mas facil de procesarlo de la manera que mas te guste, pelicula requiere mas accion en el momento de sacar la foto. Si es que los efectos del filtro son los que quieres, claro! Jajaja, si, ella fue la razon de que nos volvieramos para aqui. De ser por mi probablemente aun estariamos por alla jaja.

[@josebainakielorriagaarriet2066]

@@aows que aplicación usas para medir?leo en la pantalla mylightmeter pro ,para IOS?en Android no encuentro.Hay alguna con ese nombre pero no coincide en esa imagen que muestras .Puedes hacer varias mediciones por zonas y sacar una media?,a que le quito el iphone a mi hijo para instalarla.....ja,ja,ja,ja Merece la pena poner el visor reflex con fotómetro a la brónica ?,le tengo echado el ojo a uno en ebay relativamente arreglado de precio (100 euros),aunque ahora me pilla con muchos gastos.Tengo fotómetro de mano antiguo pero cada ve que hay que cambiarle las pilas,que no duran nada ,cuesta encontrarlas y son caras.Voy a ver si consigo un fotómetro moderno para comprobar que tal mide el móvil.

[@aows]

@@josebainakielorriagaarriet2066 Se llama MyLightMeter Pro, si. Es para iOS, creo que tambien la hay para Android? No recuerdo. La compre porque tiene una funcion "average" que te permite hacer multiples lecturas y, supuestamente, sacar una media, pero nunca consegui hacerla funcionar correctamente. Probablemente lo este haciendo mal, pero no hay manual de instrucciones 😅 Sobre el visor con fotometro integrado, ni idea, nunca lo probe. A mi me gusta el WLF mas que el visor, asi que es la opcion que uso. Ademas como hago los videos siempre tengo mi camara digital conmigo y es lo que uso para medir. Pero uso el movil de vez en cuando y perfectamente, eso si yo no me preocupo mucho de sacar la exposicion perfecta, yo busco un negativo que se deje editar de la forma que quiero posteriormente. Una pelicula como HP5 te permite "fastidiarla" un par de stops sin problema ninguno.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Breathtaking views and lovely images. Love that Bronica! Wish!

[@aows]

Thanks! It's a beautiful place.
