COPENHAGEN STREET POV | Hasselblad XPAN + Spätlight 800T (NEW FILM?!)

In this video I am shooting film during the gloomy evening hours in Copenhagen, Denmark. The camera of my choice: The one and only Hasselblad XPAN for some cinematic panoramic images. The film of my choice: Spätlight 800T, a mysterious film stock still unknown to most people. And there begins the race against the rapidly fading light.
--
Shortly before the release of this video the film Spätlight 800T was coincidentally re-released by Safelight Berlin. Get your hands on some rolls here:

Ohh, look at you getting experimental with filmmaking! I love it. Also, I once accidentally shot 800T at 100 ISO and I pulled it one stop in ECN-2 chemistry ... and it turned out pretty good. That film can take so much. It's awesome. Great work, as always!

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks Jamie! :) Oh wow, that's crazy how forgiving this film is and how well this film handles "exposure mistakes".

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

pretty neat idea to structure your video like this. 👌spätlicht there was recently on stock again but as always I was too slow to buy some. :D I like shot #15. the two cuddly old folks you have captured well. great video. 💪

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks for your comment! Back in time a roll of Spätlight cost under 10€ - now it's almost the price of Cinestill 800T. So I don't think you have missed all that much.

This was better than tenet

[@KarinMajoka]

I have not watched it yet, but sounds like I should! 🤔

[@UmpaHimself]

Great shots. I really enjoyed the video. I want this camera so bad but I settled on buying a Sony a7R IV with a 24mm lens. If only I could see the crop in camera! Keep up the great vids and photos!

[@mohdaniqbinjohar3581]

Hello, if you don't mind to share which aperture would you recommend at low light

[@otherSmallCities]

Yeah! That was just awesome! The idea, the execution, the photos and the coming out of dark back into the day. Actually makes me wanna see a making off - how you make the videos!

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks so much for your comment, I appreciate it a lot! That's a cool video idea I'll keep in mind for the future :)

[@NPJensen]

As a Dane, I can definitely relate to your experience with the Danish winter light. Most winters my production drops significantly. As I see it, you got a lot of keepers on your roll though. Very nicely done.

[@KarinMajoka]

I have been living in Scandinavia for a while, so I remember those dark winters with dropped productivity rather well. But nothing beats that hygge/koselig feeling during that time though! Thanks for your kind comment. :)

[@dan-le-brun]

Love the video, and the sponsor! Not often the latter happens. I set up a PM account and gave you a follow.

Did you just watch tenet or something? Haha, great video🙌

[@KarinMajoka]

Actually I haven't, but this is not the only comment of that sort, so probable I should watch it haha.

[@laddie115]

Another awesome video Karin !!!! I was waiting for it to go live lol , I'm in love with image #15 !

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it! :)

[@kevlarnegative]

Can you link your camera strap? Thank you!

[@KarinMajoka]

Unfortunately I can’t because I made it myself. I used some leather and the Peak design anchor links if that helps.

[@dogarucos]

Great photos! And great video as well. It reminded me of the movie Tenet. I love how you've incorporated your image (no. 6) into the sponsorship add, then you show the image and that rewind. I really loved it! My fav pic was no. 3 ♥

Amazing. Though i will never own a analog camera but its looks so goooddd.

I've been out of action for a bit, but was very happy to see this video. Personally my favorite shots were 8 and 13. I'm looking forward to seeing your results in sunnier weather if spring ever arrives! Andy

[@KarinMajoka]

Great to see you back around here :) thanks for your comment! I am actually working on a another video from Copenhagen - where the weather is even worse haha.

[@JeffWernerIthacaNY]

I think you can keep doing this and don’t even explain it again, it has a great energy to it and keep me engaged, I’m not sure if it helped that I was warned that time would move backward in fits and starts. There was such a nice glow it didn’t seem to matter much! :P

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks for your feedback! Sometimes I have all those weird ideas and I am not sure if people will understand if I don't explain them beforehand. So maybe I can be a bit more brave with those ideas ;)

[@Al_Bx]

loved the idea of telling the story backwards. And crazy how the halation is barely noticeable on the exception of one or two shots compared to cinestill.

[@KarinMajoka]

That's true! Not sure if it's because of the film or because of the subjects I shot, but interesting observation indeed. Thanks for your comment. :)

[@dustinschonherr1694]

Always nice to see some fellow german shooters with unusual gear. Would you mind telling me the brand of your camera strap? I have been building leather straps myself lately, but I yours looks really nice.

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks for your comment, I reapply appreciate it! Actually I build this strap myself as well. I used the peak design anchor links and attached it to a leather strap I sew in.

[@michaelherskovitz4203]

Thanks for the wonderful video Karin. The panoramic street scenes are really nice and expressive. It works nicely in color, especially near dusk.

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it! I was also surprised that the images were usable, even though I accidentally underexposed them.

[@barrybundles2788]

Such great film editing - love when you show image #06 at the 8 minunte mark then rewind to the pov footage taking that shot. So well done, really enjoyed, keep going!

[@KarinMajoka]

Thanks so much for your comment, I appreciate it ✌🏻 I wanted at least one image to match that "going back in time"-style even more.

Wow, you probably was in CPH in the same time as me :D

[@KarinMajoka]

No way - when where you there? :D

[@carltanner9065]

So, when you run everything backwards, do the pics you take leap out through the lens of you camera and appear in front of you just as the scene you were about to shoot? :) :P :P :P

haha, yes absolutely, this is how it work! 😂😬

Hahha, there was only space for one film camera in my bag for this trip and the Hasselblad can do what the M6 can't. But pssst, don't tell my M6.

I like this film. Will have to try it out.

They had it back in stock for some time - but sadly it's already sold out again.

[@NarcissismSurvivor]

Pushing your 800 film a stop is 1000? If you usually pull this film to 500 but today chose 1000ASA I’m pretty sure that’s not pushing a stop.😂

[@KarinMajoka]

I don’t pull this film from 800 to 500, but the natural speed of Kodak vision motion picture film is in fact 500 iso and not 800. It‘s just branded as an iso 800 film, even though it comes out underexposed that way. So pushing it by a stop is shooting it as iso 1000. (But it would have been better to also develop it accordingly 😂)

[@piotrgowacki1512]

@@KarinMajoka guy above is right - you didn't pushed film 1 stop, more like 1/3 of a stop. Look and the chart from the link below thedarkroom.com/app/uploads/2020/07/Push-and-Pull-Film-Chart-1024x620-1.jpg

[@dan-le-brun]

@@KarinMajoka funny how people don't listen! Some of us get the ISO500 thing you mentioned. Find it interesting how often the ISO on the box (or the digital camera) is contrived!

[@KarinMajoka]

@@piotrgowacki1512 The thing is, that "box speed" is not always the number that is written on the box. Cinestill is branded as an ISO 800 film, but in fact the "true box speed" is ISO 500, since its Kodak motion picture film. It's the same for many other films as well, that the speed on the box is not the true "box speed" such as for example Kodak TMAX P3200, which is in fact an ISO 800 and not 3200 film. So if you expose Spätlight or Cinestill 800T at ISO 800 as written on the box it works perfectly fine, but is in fact slightly underexposed. So when exposed correctly at its true ISO speed of 500, a one stop push comes out to ISO 1000. Feel free to shoot it at ISO 1600 when pushed a stop, but I guarantee you that it will be underexposed (even when developed correctly not like in my case haha).

[@KarinMajoka]

@@dan-le-brun Exactly! Glad somebody understands my point :)
