Shooting Medium Format Film in the Middle East. (Mamiya RB67)

[@MrKYLEforAwhile]

The double exposure shot deserves some prints!

[@cjwomack]

That’s what another one of my friends said! 😅😂 thanks dude, sometimes messing up works out!

[@DrTako]

I love your honest take on everything, even with interacting with your gear and people around you. Awesome vid as always!

[@cjwomack]

Thanks a ton @DrTako 😁 I appreciate you!

[@cjwomack]

Which one is your favorite of the 🔟??

[@DrTako]

That double exposure with the flowers and car was fantastic!

[@cjwomack]

@@DrTako thanks so much! Sometimes mistakes pay off I guess 😂😂

[@MrTaali1027]

How does it feel to carry it around? Thinking about the RB67 Pro SD myself.

[@cjwomack]

@@MrTaali1027 I definitely want to get a strap for it but it really doesn’t bother me personally. I always thought the waist level view finder was cool and having an SLR over a rangefinder, so I was willing to give up the size to have that!

[@MrTaali1027]

@ that’s what I’m thinking. It’s a debate between RB67 and 500CM. Price vs size.

Really enjoyed that Vlog CJ. Beautiful video and loved the images even with the X-Ray issues. Keep them coming. Were you in Jordan specifically for photography?

[@cjwomack]

Hey Stephen! Thanks my man, I’ve been wanting to shoot more. Hope all is well with you! And yes I do video assignments here in Jordan and I also love to do my own personal photography when I can!

[@belowaveragewildcamper]

What country is this?

[@cjwomack]

Jordan!

[@shanetaylor1550]

My family is getting ready to move to Iraq in the fall. I’d love to hear more about what you do in Jordan if there is another way we could chat! Let me know!

[@cjwomack]

@@shanetaylor1550 oh cool! I work for a media company here doing photo and video stories and then shoot film on the side when I can. Wish you and your family all the best, I’ll try to find you on facebook!

[@spencertruman9048]

@@cjwomackI guessed right! Visited Jordan 2 years ago and shot some 120. I Really want to go back someday. Everyone’s so nice and friendly. If you wanna take a look sometime @spencersonaroll

Why do youtubers walk around holding this camera like a 7 lb football? Or worse yet, in a back pack that takes minutes to retrieve the camera. Why not use a strap? I use an optech cross body and wear it 3 hours at a time with no ill effects. Camera rests on my right hip with strap across chest and back taking off some of the weight and I can either lightly support it up with my R hand or lightly press it against my side to further reduce the weight on my shoulder. I set exposure at each new lighting area, have the shutter button lock off, the dark slide out and the film advanced but shutter not cocked. It can't fire accidentally and I am reminded to cock the shutter/mirror because if I don't I can't see out the view finder and it won't fire. With an oleson split prism focusing screen, it snaps to focus faster than my manual focus 35 mm because I can clearly see the split prism coming into alignment. It is a JOY to use the wlf.

@@mrca2004 Yeap I’ve been wanting to get a strap for this one but just haven’t gotten around to it yet. I just don’t take it that seriously either 😂😂

[@lukethomasdawson]

Happy little accidents 🎨

[@cjwomack]

I almost said that in the video but didn’t think that I could pull it off without embarrassing myself 😂😂

[@oh_aces]

Sucks about the checked film but taking Ls comes easy to mets fans :)

[@cjwomack]

😂😂😂 you got that right! I should be used to it by now!
