Shooting some "night action" with a Hasselblad Super Wide Camera and an ND 1000 filter

An ND1000 filter reduces light ten stops. So that open up new possibilities with long exposure shots -- even during the bright daylight. Let me show you how!

[@bruce-le-smith]

wow, beautiful shots! thank you for describing the choices and showimg the process!!

[@ShootOnFilm]

Thanks for watching :-)

[@stephenm103]

"....Oh, the canvas can do miracles Just you wait and see, believe me" Swell that the Foma folks responded with ways to salvage your negs . . . but as you point out that solution is also a great deal of additional effort and expense to mitigate their poor quality control. Would seem appropriate to perhaps comp people w/a fresh roll or two but . . . . .perhaps the problem is too big for such a response (?)

[@ShootOnFilm]

It is an awesome song!!!

[@petervanorsouw]

Hi Ari i am amazed at how you can create such informative content almost each week. Such imagination and use of the film process. And of course your musical abilities. Thank you.

[@ShootOnFilm]

Thanks thanks!! And thanks for watching!!

[@KenmontRental]

Once again, Ari, exquisite images. I am a big fan of ND filters. As an aside, spent many years in the rescue services. Might respectfully suggest wearing a PFD ( or inflatable life vest) when playing with the heavy tripod and Hassy on board. ( or even when not :). Keep up the great work!

[@ShootOnFilm]

Thank thanks. I know, I know. A good reminder :-)

[@bruce-le-smith]

haha true, you never know when you could get a knock in the head, that's why they call them accidents

[@Wpoolesf]

Great pics. There used to be kits and directions online for renewing that seal on the 500 system backs, but being careful with extraction of the dark slide helps, too. Your vids are always fun.

[@ShootOnFilm]

I've serviced all my backs and changed light seals. That is a reasonably easy fix, but won't change the fact that Hassy dark slides are made to reflect light :-)

[@jeffreystulin8130]

Do you actually own every fun hard to get ($$$$$$$$$$ ) camera?

[@ShootOnFilm]

No, I don’t. I leave some to others 😅

[@oldfilmguy9413]

So many good tidbits of information, and interesting results from your long exposures! Very enjoyable - Cheers!

[@ShootOnFilm]

Thanks, and thanks for watching!!!

[@fredrickhardyway]

Wonderful pictures! I always enjoy your music choices with each video... the song is called "Sailing", I guess motoring is close enough! Keep up the excellent work!!

[@ShootOnFilm]

Thank thanks!! I know, I know. But I'm running out of suitable songs. I've already done Get Your Motor Running and this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6DFhYGIp8iJrassi=qM8tNCjjRNBg7Mdl&t=89

Hard to decide between the color or the black and white. Beautiful images.

[@ShootOnFilm]

Thanks, thanks!

[@riswanc]

Hi Ari, that light leaks peobably coming from a worn out seal trap that lets the light in during the long exposure?

[@ShootOnFilm]

It is always possible -- even though I've changed the light seals of all my backs. ...

[@jllanesphoto]

Ari, what make is the filter you used. Did you use a 67MM, as the Hasselblad is 63mm. Thinking of using a 67mm filter on my SWC. I saw no light leaks in your images, even though the threads are cone shaped and the 67mm will not screw in all the way. Thanks for your videos. I learn something from each and everyone.

[@ShootOnFilm]

I have a 67mm vanilla filter by RISE. It doesn't go in all the way, as the threading angle is slightly different. But it rotates enough for a good lightseal. Gotta be careful, though, not to tighten it up too much! And I always go cheap: www.aliexpress.com/item/32834200452.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.191.1eb51802vQv0AE ;-)

[@keithsodyssey]

Really like the turning boat photo! I was out today looking for some long exposure possibilities along the Bow and Elbow rivers. The fun was finding two places I'd never been to before. I was using Delta 100 with reciprocity factor of 1.3, and when I finish the roll I'll use Ilfosol 3 to develop.

[@ShootOnFilm]

Running rivers is an awesome long-exposure opportunity. With Ilford Films the reciprocity is almost the same for all their films: 1.3. Makes it easy :-)

[@rickhauser9698]

Fantastic work my friend. And you definitely had the coolest camera and boat on the lake 😊😊

[@ShootOnFilm]

Thanks thanks. 😊

[@steffenbjoern]

I was confronted with the same issue regarding the Fomapan 100. It took round about a week to fully remove the antihalo layer in 97% methylated spirit. I must admit that I use Caffenol CL or Delta for this film for several reasons. And the layer came out evenly bleached but still clearly visible as a reddish stain cover on the film. Funny enough, Foma did not even reply on my support request about four weeks ago. So, it seems they act differently depending on the market influencing potential of the customer.

[@ShootOnFilm]

Ha haa! Actually, they've been very responsive from the beginning. Even before I grew to be a major universal influencer :-)

[@tedphillips2951]

Another really interesting video & inspiring photos. Your wooden tripod reminds me of the the one I used years ago for surveying.

[@ShootOnFilm]

The tripod itself is like a piece of art!

[@rgssaurus930]

Great video and I loved the photos. Always great to see you experimenting

[@ShootOnFilm]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kdj.imagery4317]

Hey, I loved the photographs however that boat of yours is really awesome looking! What's the make on it and do you dry dock it too preserve it from the elements?

[@ShootOnFilm]

It's a '60s boat, and its history is not well known. There is no manufacturer's sign there, so I assume it is "self built". That was very common up here some 50 years ago. I have a large cold garage to fit it in for the winter. It stays on the lake the entire summer - covered when not in use.

[@tim31415]

I'm usually not a fan of long exposures. I think of all the effort put into getting films fast enough to allow hand held and action images. But you really made it work! You should always mix your alcohol with ice. Just don't tell the English. 🤫

[@ShootOnFilm]

Ha haa! Indeed, add ice -- but not into beer.

[@TheHDAli]

Great pictures. The first one 3:42 is my favourite.

You are my special Saturday gift! Well your videos! Great advice, great ideas and super images! We are poles apart! The use of Large format,4x5 for me a No-No! The snapshot Hassie has always been out of range financially! The nice way of saying poor! I admire your concepts. Again Bravo

[@ShootOnFilm]

Thanks thanks. These are a lot of fun to make :-)

[@MarksPhoto]

@jasongold6751 - Ari's said (and shown) it before- two great 'cheap' substitutes for the SWC is either the Lomo LC-A 120 - with a surprisingly good 38mm lens in a cheap plastic body (but about $400) or a Kiev 60 with the Zodiak / Arsat 30mm fisheye. Either is great fun and much cheaper than a Hassy.

[@_stefkas_]

Great video again! Beautiful images and great inspiration for summer time with light "too good"... I realized lately your English is a reason I like your channel-much better than many native english speakers and very easy to follow all the technicalities. As for Fomapan 100 in 120- I'm done with it !!! They have had issues with production on and off for years now, no film could be cheap enough to tolerate the strange dots, lines, scratches and changing sensitivity like what I have encountered with Foma 100. Hello Kentmere/Ilford/AdoxCHS😊

[@ShootOnFilm]

Thanks thanks. They call it Rallye English in Finland (kzbin.info/www/bejne/raK0mYSJl8ppnNk&ab_channel=WhiteTiger08) It is unfortunate that Foma is what Foma is. I like the way it looks -- when it works ....

There are two very good Apps (these are for iPhone) to assist : Nisi Optics for ND calculations only & Reciprocity Timer for reciprocity calculations for specific film and filters with a timer as well. Cheers!

Excellent -- Does the Reciprocity Timer have, say, Fomapan 400 in it?

These photos of you on your boat are a gift to your family.

[@ShootOnFilm]

Oh, that's a nice thought! Thanks.

[@ejorbe]

The long exposure on your boat makes you look like you are going 160kph! I was very surprised to hear how much reciprocity failure there is between films!! I never really took that into consideration as I normally don’t long exposures….yet. I will have to check the links and see what is written! That tripod looks heavy, but do you tie it down while on the boat for it to be that in focus or the weight is enough? Thank you for a great video again!

[@ShootOnFilm]

Thank thanks!! No, I do not tie it up. Its free floating 🙂

[@Murgoh]

I was bit by the reciprocity failure of Fomapan when I took my first ever large format pictures. I had ordered my Graflex Speed Graphic from the USA and some Fomapan 4x5 film from an online store here in Finland and of course the film arrived much earlier than the camera and I wanted to try handling and developing it. So I 3D-printed a very simple pinhole camera and took a few pictures with it. Long story short, I didn't take the reciprocity failure into account as the calculated exposure time was "only" something like 10 seconds and I stupidly thought it wouldn't matter. Result: very underexposed negatives. The situation was made worse by the fact that Foma 100 is really more like 150 or 200 which I also didn't know at the time. I was still able to scan the negatives but they were extremely thin.
