    Can't stretch this enough : this "Rollnote" series is gold. I don't know whether or not the people watch it as much as gear reviews, but the quality is so much higher. Thanks for making these videos Willem and hope you keep this series alive!

      Awesome for me as I used to live in LA (now in Berlin) and I never did as much as I had wanted to photography wise. We used to bike and swim there often and this video brought back fond warm (& hot) memories of time gone by. Thanks for putting your lens out there…

    I live right near there and it's great to see a new perspective on a place I've been shooing/visiting my whole life. I was literally just down there yesterday thinking about how I need to take my camera down there again hahaha. If you decide to go shoot in that area again you should go walk El Segundo main st, some of the planes look massive coming out of LAX and it's a pretty cool place to take some odd perspective shots and the food there is pretty great haha

    • @fabiangutierrez5377
      @fabiangutierrez5377 Před 3 lety +1

      I pretty much grew up in El Segundo and seeing him visit here and taking photos that I have also similarly taken was crazy. I agree with you, its awesome to see a different perspective here. There is also some interesting composition within El Segundo's "industrial" part which is closest to the refinery. You should definitely check that out as well @willem

  • @elderinmoi1571
    @elderinmoi1571 Před 3 lety +4

    The ship in the distance of the frame you mentioned - made me smile because I just thought the same and then you mentioned it. Often it is the fine details (not talking resolution) that make the shot. As always very inspiring. Oh and that video clip... magic. It just gives a totally different vibe and creates emotions otherwise not possible. At least for me.

    Great work again. I love your compositions and subject selections. The punchy colors were invigorating and the pastels set a relaxing mood, Ektar did a good job there.
    The Super 16 shot of the waves looking toward the beach reminded me of the ocean blues I got on some Ektachrome shots a few decades ago. So vivid and pleasing I still remember them.

    The videos you took, were absolutely breathtaking. Seriously brought me to a different place, and somehow were so powerful to me and felt so nostalgic and meaningful. I think it’s beautiful what moments you capture and you find are valuable to you. It is truly a gift to find that out of every location. Thank you so much for sharing, seriously a blessing to see your work in action🙏🏻 much love!!

The toe of the red car, the umbrella/seating, the stop sign, street names, greenery, power lines, recycling bin, and leading lines to the beach/water in the distance absolutely wows me. Even the roadwork patching leads the eye down to the water. This one's begging to be printed.
