Everyone is saying the portraits, but I'm gonna have to say the shot of the flower with the water won for me.

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

Thanks a lot Joseph!!!!

@wiewaersmitwahnsinn 3 года назад

Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels on YT. Good vibes, some well-shot pictures, all it takes. Who cares who won the challenge? (mike did tho)

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

Thanks Hendrik. I appreciate you! You're right, we just wanted to make it a little fun competition. It's all love though!

@fkaadou 3 года назад

Mike won for sure. Much more creative. As far as portraits go they were good but nothing out of the box. Mike definitely took that flower to the next level. Good stuff man 🙂

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

I appreciate the feedback man!

@djkidkrazy 3 года назад

I think Mike won with the flower. He really grew that rose out of concrete by bringing to life that great shot. Who knew simplicity and beauty blended so well.

@Barfslayer 3 года назад

I feel that the close ups of the flowers were definitely beautiful! I would’ve loved to see some complimentary colors as a background instead of just white but still beautiful shots! Also loved the portraits those were super crisp and well composed for how quick they were done, the black and white film was an excellent choice!

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

Thanks for the feedback Ace!

@LuisFernandez-ef9ll 3 года назад

I like the picture of the flower more because it has such a simple color palette and the petals just sit so nicely together. Looks regal.

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

Thanks Luis!

@smilesrussell3835 3 года назад

This can't be guaranteed but I think we all know truthfully who won the challenge--Mike. Not only the photograph was a great shot, but you've managed your time pretty wisely and with just the flower; I loved how you added the water and the petals weighed down, beautifully

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

I appreciate that Lyn. Thank you. You've been entered in the raffle!

You won!! I love the colors on the flower!! I think mamiya glass is a lot sharper!! I wish you verbeeks success on RU-vid!! You deserve it!!

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

Damn. Thank you bro! I really appreciate that.

@willprice7475 3 года назад

Both were good, but I feel I vibe with the flower photos Mike did. This is my first time seeing the channel. Just randomly popped up on my YT feed, but I'm happy it did. I'm excited to go back see what I've missed and I'll find you boys on IG. ✌️

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

Thanks a lot Will!

@kennyglibert5316 3 года назад

I think the best picture was the photo of the flower. The water gives a hint to the nature and that makes the picture extra good! :)) Keep up the good work ;)

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

Thanks a lot Kenny!!

@phillnavin1212 3 года назад

Another great Video. The portrait is fantastic. But I’d say the simplicity and colours of the flower shot, gets it.

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

Thank you.

@filmonrye3811 3 года назад

I think you got this one Mike. The detail in the flower is excellent! The water was a nice touch. It was good you took your time and really strategized how you want your shots to look.

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

I appreciate the feedback! Thank you!

@ecem4556 3 года назад

Mike won the challenge. I would never think to take something like the flower and take a photo like those. Loved the white space and colours in the photo. Also you were chill, no rush 😎. Jake’s photo was great too of course!

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

I appreciate the feedback. I’ve had to learn the hard way from rushing in the past haha. Thank you!

@thenotred 3 года назад

Mike definitely did a great job with the flower and managed to ignore the technical issue that he faced in the challenge. It's a skill that every photographer really need.

@shamsybamsy6915 3 года назад

Loved the flower pictures but I found the portraits inherently more interesting!

I'm a black and white guy so gotta be the portraits. Gotta say I clicked on this pretty randomly and was super shocked to see Tyler Shields; absolute legend.

The flower outside against the black hoodie was fire.

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

Thanks Nathan!

@CoffeewithLightroast 3 года назад

For me Jake won the battle. I like the portrait of you more than the one with the flower. The water on the flower was almost invisible and in general i think the portrait was very well done.

@jakecloobeck 3 года назад

Thanks Paul!

@monique.1875 3 года назад

Jake’s portraits are a winner : they were super clean and sharp, but I gotta cut some slack for Mike’s task, that’s a hard one!

@vibrantlycolorful_ 3 года назад

Mike the first round with you being the model showed confidence and strength in the photos; your friend did an amazing job. I liked the photo with you on right side of the photo with the space on the left. No doubt that you did an amazing job with the flower. I like the photo with the black background. I think you won the challenge Mike becuase you were willing to ask for some advice. Asking showed how humble you are in learning. Having confidence and the ability to ask some advice showed a different level of growth. Keep growing.

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

I appreciate that Briana. Learning will be never ending. Thank you!

Funny thing about those cameras is they’re so different, if one had the money, having both would be awesome.

@Jbzy3000 3 года назад

Once again I can’t choose. But that rose was dope. Made me rethink my floral photography.

@tomwilliams4173 3 года назад

Yeah I reckon the portrait won it just by a hair! Due to the depth I think, the flower shot feels flatter then it could have been. Controversial opinion but I really liked the flower image outside against his chest! Bit too much contrast but I loved the idea!

@tonyhayes9827 3 года назад

I cant believe how well you hand held that Mamiya Mike and still got crystal sharp images. Kudos.

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

That RB67 was good training for the RZ haha.

@gavinfulton1361 3 года назад

First off, what an awesome RU-vid recommendation! Dig the vibe. You got a new sub! Regarding the challenge, I think Jake won with the portrait. I love the simplicity of it and the fact that you weren't centered in the frame (not that there's anything wrong with that if it were) and you had a white shirt on, too, which just helped with the overall contrast of the image. PS, I appreciate the creativity with the water and the flower along with the colors, but with just the outer petals bending out, the flower just looks a bit broken. Beautiful image regardless. Keep up the vids! Excited to see what you got next.

@jakecloobeck 3 года назад

Thank you Gavin!

@Braunty 3 года назад

Dope photos all around but the portraits win, super sharp and well-composed. The flower is way harder though haha.

@rickmarquez 3 года назад

That flower against the clean white backdrop looks like an album cover before the graphic copy. My vote is for Mike’s shot

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

Thanks a lot Rick!

@dylanwilliams62 3 года назад

@ChrisConner1 3 года назад

I'm digging your channel Mike. First of all, it's about shooting, not gear, which is nice. You do a great job telling stories and I'm learning from watching how you take your photos that I need to get waaaay more creative with my angles. Love the one on one challenges and how you've set yourself apart by drinking tea. A gutsy move. Well done.

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

Thanks Chris!

@radbouddebruin6681 3 года назад

I give the win to Mike. Even though both images came out great, the fact that you introduced another element(literally lol) into your photo which made it a much more powerful image, won you the challenge in my opinion. To not crap on Jake, I really like the way he framed the portrait. Great video as always Mike! Congrats on reaching 400 subs :)

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

Thanks so much for the feedback! haha & yes. Hopefully we can hit 1K soon!

@inaki3794 3 года назад

I would say that the flower pictures were better than the portraits. It seems that the flash helps to get those close up details of the flower and the colours were amazing. Nice video:)

@levi_zim2818 3 года назад

yeah. definitely the flower picture in front of that black background for me!!:) great videos keep it up!!

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

Will do man!!! Thanks

@GraemeSimpsonPhotography 3 года назад

Tough call. I respect the challenge of shooting strobe at 1/30th on the P67. gutsy move :) but the flower wins it for me, the light, the colour...sweet captures

@ajordan738 3 года назад

I'm going to go with you being my personal winner just because you used natural and studio lighting as well as adding a bit of flair with the water

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

I appreciate that AJ!

@Rico-ns5dt 3 года назад

Wow working with one of the greatest? What a pleasant surprise this video was! I think the flower won. Its vibrance, detail and elegance. But tbh we all won cuz this fire ass video.

@alexisaguilar3613 3 года назад

Dude I binge watched all three episodes of these and honest I love both of your guys' photography styles. I do however have a bias towards Mike due to his use of imagination and moving around a lot more. Either way love all of the photos taken and would like to see more of these. Keep up the goof work man!

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

Thanks a lot Alexis!

@thomascohen1548 3 года назад

I’m sorry Mike even if i like your way of doing things (more instinctiv) for me the best picture this time was the portrait. The main reason is for the black and white choice, the framing of the subject (asymetrical) and the small shadow behind you that allows you to pop from the wall. The video was cool ! See ya from Paris

@jakecloobeck 3 года назад

Thank you Thomas!

@ARAXYO 3 года назад

Came across this randomly in my hunt for tips on film photography and fell in love with the channel! Both were so good, considering the time you guys had!! Jake's portraits were so clean, but I think I'd have to pick Mike's. The water with the flower just hit different, I liked that he took it as a chance to experiment and try a lot of things as well.

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

Thanks a lot!!!

@rawcodecmedia302 3 года назад

They’re both great. I like the colors on the flower though. Crispy 👌👌

@MikeGrayFilm 3 года назад

Thanks a lot!

@christopherward5065 3 года назад

I like the zen approach. Minimalist is good. Almost a Richard Avedon portrait with the white background leaving us to examine ourselves as much as the sitter in the portrait. The trip is content and composition. Perhaps a lower camera height and a slight upward angle was the way to go. There needed to be a little more asymmetry somehow. Good call on shooting mono. The flower was all about form and composition Portra really sang in the colour department. The shot that caught my eye was the one against the black hoodie. We could tell someone was holding it and that added another dimension to the shot. That was a different way to create a narrative in the image. I think there was scope to use a 50mm and the bellows extension to make the flower more dramatic and larger in the frame.

@genelegend 3 года назад

First of all, props to both Mike and Jake. Both set of photos came out crisp, sharp and dope. However, I give the slight edge to Mike. Making it a bit unique with the water was a nice touch and it's a picture I haven't seen before really. Jake's portrait of Mike was very well done, but I've seen those photos before. Also, I always rock with color over b&w.

@aslipperysnake 3 года назад

Both are so good, but i gotta go with the portraits. They’re just so clean

@dan-tf6ie 3 года назад

Jake took this, but only because you were the subject lol. So really in a way, you won. Would've been sick to see some shots of the flowers with petals burning.

@lomenzor 3 года назад

I'm a little biased towards portraits but I think Jake won, that picture of you a bit to the right of the frame is really good. I respect that you put a bit more effort in the technical stuff with your shots tho

Jake’s portraits are undeniably clean but I’ll go with Mike bc his shooting was more challenging and required some more skills and imagination. He shot in different light situations but still be able to kept them consistent.. also he was being creative with water pouring down and those are what I like about shooting in general- be creative with what you have.

1. Jake wins. 2. I would have liked Mike to photograph the flower from a top down angle to show the real beauty of the blossom. In contrast Jake’s Portraits came out perfectly, pretty fire actually.

@Wadehadedude 2 года назад

Sick one, since im a digital shooter im quite happy that you focus more at the practical taking pictures front then getting the tech right. Transporting emotions in shots get only harder if you focus to much on tech stuff. Ask tyler about the invers squer law

@TaajAndrews 3 года назад

Jake won this challenge. I liked the variety of shots taken with the flower. If this was about all of the photos from Mike and all of the photos taken by Jake, I'd choose the photos taken by Mike. But, just judging the top two photos I like the portrait better. I could be biased to black and white though.

@dae-sunyoo1584 3 года назад

That’s tough, both subjects were completely different and hard to compare. The portraits were SUPER clean (I’m a sucker for black and white, specifically Tri-X) and that modeling was great, but I can’t help but see the flower as more of a creative challenge. I think adding the water was a really nice touch. Plus I just got a Mamiya RB67 so I’m biased towards the Mamiya haha
