No comments, only taking photos and beautiful shots. This is 14/10.

[@radicaleyemag]

window thank you!

The best photography channel. You two deserve support on Patreon since there are no ads, no reviews, and no sponsors... You guys really stand out from the crowd. If Aputure gives you a light or even if Ilford would donate some filmstock you deserve it.

[@ariffhuwaidi1380]

I watch this on 4 Feb 2021. Literally 2 year after this vid published! Awesome vid man! Keep it up! Love from MY ❤️🇲🇾

[@wingding7955]

Dude. You don’t even know amazing this video is to me during a time like this. Feels like being in a god damn dream. So blissful

[@Privat653]

Quality of these videos is insanely superb.

[@radicaleyemag]

Thank you!

[@josephgardner1310]

I really love the shots and the model is beautiful, but if you’ll allow a little feedback, I’d love to hear a bit of the ‘technical’ or artistic choices made here. For example, why did you choose 400H. How are you metering? Did you push or shoot at box speed? Etc. If this may ruin the aesthetic of the video perhaps it could just flash up as text on the screen occasionally. Great work by the way!

[@timmyd999]

Yes, I would love this too (although I know this isn't the vibe they are going for)

[@radicaleyemag]

Hey Joseph, thanks for your feedback! We've had this asked a few times and is something we are considering for future episodes. I don't really consider myself too technical, and personally find the composition and model to be the more interesting part of photography, so I think these videos are a bit of a reflection of that. That being said, we have discussed creating some different content which touches on these things though, so stay tuned for future uploads.

[@arthurvandamme718]

seeing te shots, Shooting in harsh daylight ( first shots in the field), avoid direct light in the face. The sun is illuminating here back in not even the tip of the nose is in direct sunlight. Summary: shoot against the light when harsh, overexpose at least 1 stop and most of all: go shoot and learn by doing. :)

[@OPAZM]

This is a great video and the model Exquisite! Also very nice balance of light

[@radicaleyemag]

Thank you!

[@crockett888]

can't go wrong with medium format. especially when taking portrait shots. superb crisp images.

[@samvorms6163]

this is just perfect in every way, crazy camera, really good model and gorgeous locations, and to finish it that killer light rendering so good on the pictures. Amazing to see what a picture looks like when everything come together this well. Amazing job guys

[@radicaleyemag]

Thanks so much Sam!

SOOO YUM! is 90mm as good?

[@radicaleyemag]

yep, quite a few shots in this vid are on the 90!

[@globalshutterproductions3179]

just a amazing video with magnificent photographs. It just translates the amazing atmosphere!!! :D

[@TheMPhotography]

Super cool. Just bought a RZ67 and was looking for some inspiration when I stumbled across your video. Amazing shots.

[@juliussternfeld428]

Some pictures are amazing.

[@UploadN0ob]

Didn’t think there would be a major difference between the two lenses, but the 180mm does have some noticeably stronger compression of the background and the bokeh seems very sharp

[@radicaleyemag]

Yep, would agree. We're planning a portrait video next which will use the 180mm a bit more.

[@sssssssev]

were any of these shots with the 180? i thought it looked like they were all 110 but maybe I missed something.

[@radicaleyemag]

@@sssssssev yeah, the shots at the end after the footage of the lens being changed are on the 180mm, plus the two shots at 2:32 (some of the photos are out of sync with the lens on the camera as we didn't always film the switch). Also the second shot of Maddi standing further away in the field is on the 180mm.

[@melbournedrummer5841]

Great shots!

[@radicaleyemag]

Thank you!

[@bennozoid1]

STUNNING Pix!!

[@ALO-y3g8k]

nice work, may i know which scanner you use?

[@SoonKyu515]

stunning model and camera and of course, your pictures

[@yakattac78]

Are these standard or high res scans?? They are perfection!

[@radicaleyemag]

Thank you Nalla! They are high res, but I scanned them at home. I have a love/hate relationship with scanning, and have often struggled to get consistent results. I've also moved from lightroom to photoshop to manage the files, and have been much more pleased with these results.

[@yakattac78]

@@radicaleyemag well keep doing what your doing! The results are nothing short of amazing! Thx for the reply!

[@brentsmith9411]

@@radicaleyemag What scanner/software are you using for these? I have a similar love/hate relationship scanning with my V800 and Silverfast but your results and consistency seem great here!

[@radicaleyemag]

@@brentsmith9411 I've been using the v600. For this shoot I used a new process, which is a bit different to all my previous scans. I used VueScan to essentially create a large .tiff negative file (with no adjustments in vuescan), then converted it in Photoshop using a plugin called ColourPerfect. Worth a look if you're looking for alternative techniques.

[@josetarrega890]

@@radicaleyemag Your scans are amazing, congratulations!, I have Epson V600 too, but on 135mm film I never can't good scans, your 135mm scans on Yashica Mat have been done on Epson V600 too?

[@IsThatYouSimon]

Flynn ! Pictures are dope, it’s been the 4/5th time i watch it in years. Just wondering do you remember by any chance which shutter speed was set for the last photo ? You shot handheld so i’m wondering which minimum speed you set to get this sharp image ? I used to stay up to 1/60 minimum but i can see movement blur

[@radicaleyemag]

thanks for watching again! i can usually shoot at 1/60 without blur, so it was probably that for most of these lower light shots :)

[@peterbarghx]

Amazing shots , would be great if you could create a video talking about your favorite negatives and how you expose them.

[@ДанилаМушкарев-к3ж]

Thank you for making these videos guys, they really are amazing. Just wanted to give some feedback, i do appreciate you

Woww that shot from 0:48 to 0:53 is neat ! Very cool

[@taimourrashidkalson13]

Hey buddy amazing video ! were you using any ND or filter by any chance ? thanks in advance ! cheers

[@user-pp7we6mb5o]

Really good work! What shutter speeds do you usually shoot at with your rz when shooting handheld? I’ve heard that it can be hard to shoot with it handheld without getting motion blur, yet your shots have no signs of it. Thanks

[@radicaleyemag]

Thank you T! The slowest I usually consider shooting the RZ at is ​1⁄30, but this would be indoors, where it's a bit easier to remain still. I've personally never struggled outside, but I would probably avoid going below 1⁄60. I'm guessing a lot of these shots would have been between 1⁄125 and 1⁄250, with the last few being a bit slower as the light dropped off.

[@mmh53]

outdone yourself on this one ;) very well produced and great photography!

[@DespiertaConciencias]

Hello brother, I’m in love with your pictures and your videos, all it’s just amazing... I was wondering what app you using for light metering!

[@radicaleyemag]

lux

[@fourplay12]

I'm using rz67. What lens is the second one? Didn't the shutter speed slow down much at the end of the video with iso400 (400H)? What is the minimum shutter speed for a steady photo with the rz67? Lastly, thank you so much for your videos.

[@jpcalma1438]

If Maddie was your model for every episode you put out, I wouldn't even be mad.

[@radicaleyemag]

Haha, don't worry she'll be back soon I hope!

[@davidbos96]

wow 1:07 have you noticed the dark shady line close to the right edge of your vertical shots with the yashica? I used to have the same problem with my T4, does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?

[@ahmedal-saeed9374]

Awesome shot

[@PasqualeEttorre]

so good! i have to try the Fuji 400ProH for my shootings! Great job!

[@vijeeshm7317]

Stunning Images ......... Great Buddy

[@RedStarRogue]

I love the warm colours you're getting out of the Fuji. May I ask how you scan your negs?

[@radicaleyemag]

For this i actually scanned them as a negative tiff, and then converted them in photoshop using some software called ColourPerfect. I think this is quite an unusual way of doing it. And yeah, I warmed them up a little through this process.

[@radicaleyemag]

Hi Tyson, thanks for the comment. Just thought I'd follow up to let you know we now have some new videos on our patreon account that take you through my process. Feel free to check them out if you'd like to learn more: www.patreon.com/radicaleyemag

[@nicow2634]

Hey amazing pictures you made. I always wonder about the sharpness of your pictures. How do you scan your pictures? I saw that you recently try the Pentax 67. What do you think about the Hasselblad 500cm?

[@sabatheus]

The bokeh in those shots just melts my face right off.

[@reach831]

you did such an insane job wow

[@radicaleyemag]

thank you!

[@Kokorba6iqta]

Well that was beautiful.

[@radicaleyemag]

Thank you!

[@spyratekodaks7494]

Maddie is beautiful in those photos!!!!

[@tonkatonksebo]

You have a pair of steady hands to shoot during golden hour. At what shutter speed did you shoot?

[@radicaleyemag]

Haha. Thanks. Maybe 1/60th, but possibly chanced slower.

[@AlexanderNVIDIA]

I really admire the way you can photographed every shots looks so perfectly composed and well focused! May I know what aperture size do you usually shoot with?

[@radicaleyemag]

AlexanderNVIDIA thank you! It depends on the light, for bright daylight I’ll use f8-f11. For the shots at the end with lower light, I used f2.8 on the 110mm and f4 on the 180mm (which is as low as both lenses go).

[@gobyfixy]

Beautiful video man!! Was this a personal project or paid work? Just asking because I like to find models, but agencies are waaayy to expensive and I don`t know where to find them on a budget and capable! Do you have any suggestion??

[@jackchaarles]

What film where you using in the t4 in the beginning? Great video also! The shots turned out amazing!

[@radicaleyemag]

Jack Charles thank you! It was portra 400, and was a t5 😉

[@gunfod]

Just picked an Rz67 pro ii up today, this was the first video I watched. I definitely need a camera bag like that 😉 Where is it from? Cheers. Loved this 👍

[@FKfilmphotography]

Can you make a video regarding your metering methods

[@HelgeStrichen]

How long did it take that sun to set???

[@adventureStaley]

That was rad

This video is the reason I got myself rz67

[@georg3774]

Insanely good work! Any chance you can share the name of the song?

[@radicaleyemag]

hi, where can i find that bag, it seems like it’ll protect the RZ67 from the elements!??? :) looking for a friend

[@vancourverite7779]

do you ever use 80mm 1.9?

[@tomsamuel4211]

The shots at sunset by the water. At what aperture did you shoot? F2.8 or more towards F4.0?

[@radicaleyemag]

probably 2.8 as the light was getting very low!

[@xizhang8851]

very good old camera intro!

[@AdamWilkoszarski]

Great portraits! Do you always shoot wide open?

[@radicaleyemag]

Thank you! Not always, but I prefer to shoot in the late afternoon, and with the 180mm being f4, I'm sometimes forced too shoot wide open if I don't have a tripod. I think the shots at 2:52 were probably shot at least at f8, but probably f11 or higher.

[@snowman9421]

wow. Where is the heart button?! :) Beautiful Photos

[@mcneilephotography5967]

How do you meter? Very curious since I’m getting into medium format

[@radicaleyemag]

I used an app for these videos called lux, but I now have a Sekonic light metre. For models I use an incident metre, which gives a good general reading. But I usually rate my portra 400 at 200 ISO (So I'm then over exposing my film). Hope that helps!

[@speedyg625]

amazing work! what did you use to meter?

[@radicaleyemag]

an app called lux

[@eliaparisi984]
