VIDEO DESCRIPTION
It’s springtime, baby. The bees are buzzin’ all up in my orange blossoms and I think one of ‘em flew in my bonnet, because I got a hankerin’ to get out in this beautiful weather to snap some photos. There’s a specific 6x17 shot I’ve been wanting to take for quite some time in Garden Grove, but first I think I’ll dust off the Mamiya C220 to shoot some 6x6 square format.
So with my TLR by my side, I took a little stroll through Old Town Orange (in Orange County, California of course) to expose a few rolls of Kodak Portra pushed 1 stop to get that tasty contrast. You see, I wanted to create a look a little bit like those old citrus ads. You know the ones I mean? A hand-painted old-timey Sunkist ad telling you to buy more Orange County oranges. One of those.
I’m not really the “photowalk” type, but maybe I will be from now on because I got some photos I actually quite like on this outing. And man, oh, man do I love using that Mamiya. There’s something special about shooting square format and there’s really nothing quite like using a twin-lens camera. Even if I hadn’t gotten a single good exposure, I would have been happy just to take the C220 for a walk.
Thanks for watching!

The only thing I hate about Nick Carver, is there's never enough Nick Carver. I need videos weekly at a minimum!

@richardbacon5972 2 месяца назад

The "c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon" cut was brilliant.

@BigBreakfast 2 месяца назад

i will never get enough of your videos. what you do as a photographer is so striking, but you also have this nonchalance that is infectious and truly representative of "living the life" to me. rock on man!

@ariannadominguez8162 2 месяца назад

I just paused to say freaking thank you! Definitely more photowalks, your videos always restore my faith in RU-vid.

Man that cloud will get you. Yesterday I set out to catch the ISS in front of the sun. It’s only there for 0.56 seconds. But Mr. Cloud came by and ruined it. Just a minute later it was clear and stayed clear all day. Love those orange shots.

What a coincidence. I just started a series called "Nature taking over." Most of my shots are in Orange County too. As always, great video.

what a great jurassic quote. Edit: This is Nick at his finest and me at my happiest. Everything was great - story, sounds, picture. Really top notch Nick.

You just know, that the photo of a bus stop is going to slap, when Nick says "scouting this forever"

@trevorsneath4665 2 месяца назад

Doing walks in your town with a camera certainly makes you aware of interesting small environments that you usually drive past. Next thing, you're pointing out little details to friends in the car as you drive around town :-)

Man I love your photography and YT content! All the best from the UK

@oldfilmguy9413 2 месяца назад

While I sympathize, I empathize even more - those are the real-world troubles that hamper so many of my image-taking opportunities. There is real comfort in knowing I am not the only one suffering the slings and arrows of the photography life!! Cheers, and better luck in 7 months!

Nice shots once more, love the very first onem the flies and of cause the 6x17 thankx ! Would love to take mine for spin as well but the weather here in Germany is just clouds, rain and freezing for the last week, so sitting inside watching youtube videos is the task for the day.

@andrewbartram2478 2 месяца назад

Excellent little video Nick - captured the area beautifully with that square format ……. Not large format but remind me to talk square …..

@paultaylorphotography9499 2 месяца назад

GREAT. Now I gotta pull out my C330 from its case. Solid stuff Nicky. Keep it up!

@jw48335 2 месяца назад

I love the C220! Sadly I hurt my neck so using a WLF is rough. I got an adapter on eBay to fit a Kiev 88 45-degree metered prism and it's now my favorite medium format camera.

Supercool. I'm on my third TLR, the exact same model, but I rarely shoot it. I might just have to dust it off, and take it for a photo walk. Thanks for the inspiration. Love the gnat shot.

@SD_Alias 2 месяца назад

A beautiful short story. I love these Rollei like cameras. Especially the the waist level viewfinder. But I could never really get used to the square format. The bus stop photo is wonderful with the diffused light. Direct sunlight as seen in the Google Earth images looks too hard and kind of blotchy…

@quicktastic 2 месяца назад

I once scoped out an old, abandoned factory for a quite a while to take photos of. There was never a soul around it. Finally, perfect lighting one afternoon and I set up to take photos and, suddenly, about 20 (at least, maybe more) fire trucks showed up (no sirens or lights) swarming all around the building. Turns out that they were going to do some kind of training session there for several hours. I could only laugh at the absurdity of it.

@Al_Bx 2 месяца назад

Daddy Nick has been hitting the gym apparently. NGL the bit in your office with the drink, the 'satche, the spectacles, the shirt and the biceps questionned my heterosexuality.

@andyvan5692 2 месяца назад

love the bus stop nick :-) ; I've just committed to 120 B&W (acros) and doing the same round the roundabout you are in this vid, 3 weeks with one roll, looking at buildings, urban landscape, like this (but I got some art too {graffiti art on walls}-the GOOD kind :-) ) so now to the darkroom gods that roll goes, hoping things turn out; But the thing with the bus stop and clouds is the METAL, if it glares (has too much highlights), is the main problem here.

@LongDeathBlueNeck 2 месяца назад

i was gifted a C220 as my first film camera about 3 weeks ago what a coincidence. I too was out in the backyard taking pics of my lemon tree. ran a couple rolls of gold 200 through it, very beautiful results. feel like you can just walk into the images. a very exciting but heavy camera. fantastic video i was vibing hard.

Some of that spring business looks pretty enticing from up north. You are picking fresh oranges, I have to go shovel the snow. So far 6 fresh inches today and it keeps on coming. I hope the summer lands on a weekend this year.

@shooshik 2 месяца назад

Hi Nick. You killed it in this new video. Liked how you showed those nervous seconds before taking 6x17. Added more juice to the story of the video! Keep up the good work!

@charlesk323 2 месяца назад

This is excellent. I love the sound effects at the beginning, the music, and the voiceover. Really entertaining and inspiring-an instant Nick Carver classic. Oh, and the resulting photo is a keeper!

Excellent narrative styling on this video Nick. I really enjoyed the whole thing.

@mikejankowski6321 2 месяца назад

Great images, great storytelling of their capture, great ambiance to it all. I think the soft light works really well. Of course you could hit the sliders to get an idea of what harsh light would have produced, or you could take a win and move on to the next adventure. The latter would fit the relaxed feel of this post.

@chrisvalford 2 месяца назад

Nice to see you using a C220. They were the mainstay of wedding photographers many years ago, but I could never afford one, settling for a fixed lens Yashica 124G. I can't tell if it was intentional, but your dog pics suffered from their only issue, parallax error as you frame with one lens and shoot through the other.

@saxmangeoff 2 месяца назад

Too funny. "Man plans, God laughs." TIL: Canadian Tuxedo. Thank you Obi Wan. Love the concept of the image, BTW. I fully expect you to follow up in 7 months. I get the feeling you're a bit obsessed with it at this point, for some reason. Happy trails.

@theangrymarmot8336 2 месяца назад

I feel your pain - I planned a trip to a local place that has a bunch of 1800s buildings relocated to it. Rearranged a bunch of my schedule, checked the weather repeatedly. Day I picked was going to be nice and cloudy (rare in AZ.) Middle of the week to avoid the people and their need to interrupt the process. Night before - loaded all my film holders, tri-pod, and packed up the large format. The day came - harsh, bright, overhead sun accentuated by the place only being open 9am-4pm. Drove up there, argued with the oldies and their boomer-fudd policies about what a "professional photographer" is and why posting on social media any pics I take is good for them and I wasn't paying extra and signing a release just cause I had a giant camera. Finally, assuming their next batch of organized medication and/or refresh of metamucil was due - so they relented and let me in. I got a few decent shots - but wasn't the look I wanted. And, as on queue - the next day? Beautifully overcast and cloudy. The universal cycle once again proves I am better off not planning and trusting my procrastination that usually puts me a day behind on all my plans. Lesson learned.
