- I hit the Sand Dunes with the Pentax 67 & Hasselblad 500c/m. Two Medium Format beasts. This was an adventure but a tough shoot experience to say the least. Y'all let me know which camera you think took the crown on this one! Hope you enjoy.

The desert looks exhausting gang. you brought the heat tho..
Bro it was no joke. Thank you g!
Well done and welcome to the Hasselblad world proud of you!
Thank you man! You led me down the right path!
I already watched the video once but im watching it again because there's something satisfying as hell about being a digital photographer and watching film photographers put together shoots and having limited shot to get it done. Plus Mia is always killing it. 🔥
That’s love bro. Thank you.she always kills it!
Hahaha I do need to see more Mike Gray landscape work tho 😂👀
One day I’ll take a leap of faith haha
Mike had 800 subscribers less than a year ago now look at him go! Him and his crew put in the work!!! Respect, another great video and awesome compositions dude.
That's love. Thank you bro!
@@MikeGrayFilm you're welcome G can't wait for the next video!
The King of Film Photography does it again 👏
haha thank you Sophia
Cool location, that shot at 4:45 with the footprints leading to the model is amazing. Love your work!
bro idk there was something magical about those Pentax shots!!! Also in case u didn’t know, I just recently learned myself - bc of a concept called “diffraction,” most good lenses are sharper until about f/11 then they actually start to soften! So if it’s sunny you can definitely shoot at f/11 at 1/125 to be safe on the motion blur side PLUS get even sharper results. Keep killin it man 🔥
4:45 we said WOW at the same time 😂
All it takes is one great picture to make a shoot worth it. The footprints one was FIRE
Indeed. Thanks man
🔥🔥🔥 That shot with the footsteps walking away tho!!!🤯
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I have had both cameras several times over the years and my results never looked as good as yours! My favorite photos came out of your Hasselblad! Great location, great model, great team, great shoot! Keep up the awesome work!!!!
Thanks a lot Terrence!
Hands down the funniest photography vlog EVER
The images and the slow motion video is amazing! Great work but that heat definitely looks like it was overwhelming. I live in the San Fernando valley so the heat is crazy out here. That desert heat must’ve super draining! Excellent video!
Thank you!
Those 6x7 photos were faaaaaantastic! And that model tho
Thanks bro!
As always, a superb video..beautiful model and stunning location. Loved the images. More like this please. Best wishes..David in the (cold) UK.
whooo chile. That heat from the dessert along with the model and the frames.... Got my M1 Macbook Pro fan running OT. And if you know bout them M1's that's a lot. Great work man!
Hahaha thank you
One of my favorites. Made me want to have this experience. Thanks for the share.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You absolutely killed this. Amazing shots from both cameras.
Thanks so much Andrew.
Lol , love the running in dunes … you were like a gazelle dancing over the Serengeti !
Hahahaha
Looks insane, film is another level
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
6:30 is a crazy sequence of shots! Results look like a million dollar fashion shoot Mike! Great stuff.
Also a shot for every “hold that” in this episode ;)
Haha thanks man!
I recognize that parking lot. That's a great spot and your photos are amazing. Love your channel.
Thank you.
Thw cinematography just as good as the photos 🙌🙌🙌
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
arguably your best photos I've seen you take on this channel
thanks a lot
Excellent shoot! You really killed it! Love the one taken on the Pentax with the foreground steps! Congrats to the model too who was great!
She is amazing. Thanks a lot!
Shooting in the desert looks like a huge challenge, but the photos were fire! Good work bro!
Thanks a lot bro
Hasselblad leg up -beautiful pic and a great model
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
You have to do a DEEP CLEAN of your cameras after exposing them to sand like that. When you wiped off the Hasselblad with your shirt - that KILLED me.
Buy a can of compressed air and high pressure air all of your camera parts as much as you can disassemble them. Nothing kills a camera like sand.
I shot a Konica Hexar AF in sand dunes like that - it needed expensive service shortly after.
Haha I got you
I am a bit late to the party. Great images, and as usual the B&W is the best. You're lucky, aperture blades fuse together above 116 degrees F.
Dope work ...I thought the images with Hasselblad 100% F I R E ...You have an awesome eye and style keep up the killer work .
I love shoots like this because they show the amount of fortitude you have to have at times to be a photographer, model, stylist, etc. out in the field and you gotta be with the shits. I appreciate you showing this and a lot of times when I was bugging out in extreme heat/cold came some of my most fire photos. You came with the fire as well Mike so keep grinding and I'll be waiting for the next upload, peace!
Thank you!
All those shots were epic! I'd always choose the P76 just for that mirror slap. That thing tells you that you just took a shot, you feel it and hear that kaboom! :)
Agreed!
Shooting in a hot and windy desert can be very miserable. Good job on the images!
Thanks a lot Wei
Great photography. Video looks great too. Keep it up
Thanks!
Amazing photos Mike, this shoot is from heaven, despite the difficult conditions! Great work!
Thanks Vincent!
Dude, it doesn't matter which camera you use, you got the eye and a dope shot is a dope shot. I don't know film like that and most people don't and never will. I can't wait to see you start glowing up. Your day is coming.
My guy. Thank you!
4:45 That photo is insane .. you killing it every video
Thanks bro
my MY. MIKE that black&White shot at 8:04 goes so hard!
Glad you went through the hardship for these pics and my pleasure of viewing ahahah
Thank you! Haha
That looked exhausting! The Portra is nice of course and some great images there, but in a place like that, I'd have gone with Fujichome Provia with the 120 format. Provia is nice for portraits in the right light; many people don't like it, but I do. Would have looked stunning.
✨3am binging on your last 4 videos. You already dude. Respect. ✨
I appreciate that!
@@MikeGrayFilm ✨💯
"it's not a game" re: sunscreen the truest thing you ever said on the channel
Hahaha
such an excellent video! being a Hasselblad owner, you make me want to get out from my current spot & just shoot. Shots are very inspirational! Hopefully none of the sand grains scratched up your lenses!
Everything is good!! 🙌🏾
Great images…..HASSY FOR close ups and the Pentax for the full landscape …….only exception is the full body sitting in the sand…that was a great one as well.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Outstanding photo shoot….Cuz!
Thank you!
At the start of the video, i was thinking "why he doesn't have something to protect the camera?"... 5 min later... "thay may be it folks" XD great video! love those 6x6 shots!!
Hahaha dumb of me.
@@MikeGrayFilm MIKE MY GUY YOU HEARD OF A BAG? like fr id rather it be a lil hot than sand inside the 'blad, bro
shots were fire though no matter what and thats forever LOL
I always thought it would be great if they had a 45 degree finder for the Pentax. That was the only thing I missed from the 'Blad. And yeah, I know the Pentax has to be able to do vertical. So, no way to do a 45 finder that wouldn't weigh 1.67 tons.
Love the sitting Hasselblad shot! Love 'em all, really...
Thanks Alan!
Great job Mike! Another one that get two thumbs up!
You rock!
Mike, that black and white image was pure fire 🔥! Love the work man. Keep it up 😎👊🏾
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
these shots are killer dude!!!
Owen! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
You took some really great photos in the DUNES! Kudos out to the beautiful model and the crew! It keeps getting better and better!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Those conditions were certainly not for the weak of heart. I really appreciate your work bro your shoots are very insightful. Keep it up! ✊🏾
Thanks a lot!
Love the work and it's ALWAYS dope to see black creatives doing their thing. I will continue to support. 🙏🏽
That’s love. Thank you. 🙌🏾
Amazing shots! You nailed it! 6:30 The video was amazing too!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Somebody has been in the gym. Nice work!!!!
Haha trying to get right
Hi Mia 🤩 fun video, great shots
Great video Mike, I love the consistency and dedication to the craft.. awesome framing!! I loved the color tones and the silhouette was one of my favorite!! GOD bless!!
Thank you bro 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
@@MikeGrayFilm No doubt!!
I died inside a little seeing that incredible light at the end as you were packing things up. But I understand… gotta keep the babies safe! I’d shoot my digital in that until the cows came home though.
You should have visit Bombay Beach and Salton Sea while you guys were there !!
Great photos man!
Thanks Fraser!
There would not be enough sunscreen in the world for me in that place. You could use me as a bounce. Great work again, dude. You're rocking some serious post-apocalypic vibes in these shots.
Haha I love that
Good job committing to the hot scene- great results.
Thanks Michael!
My new fav channel!! Damn
Welcome to the family! Thank you.
Nice work! Beautiful location. All the hard work is really paying off. Keep it up. I'm anxious to see what you do next!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I swear to God, I thought that you guys rented an eagle for the shoot and it was casually just flying around waiting. It was your drone hahaha. Great shots as usual bro, very inspiring stuff. I learn a lot from watching you shoot portraits!
thanks bro!!!! lol
Good luck getting the sand out the lenses. You learn very quickly to never manually focus lenses that aren't weather proof in a dry sandy environment
I’m good. No sand in my lenses 🙌🏾
Dang loading that film in direct sun, that's gangsta.
Only way to do it 😂😂😂
Man y’all made some FIRE together
I appreciate it bro
Brother, I’m glad you made it back alive to share these dope shots and BTS with us 😅🙏🏾
Indeed! Haha 🙌🏾
Loved the video and was impressed with how you described how each camera led to a different way of shooting.
Thanks a lot
this pictures are amazig dude
Wow! Some of your best work imo, brother. I loved EVERY shot!
Thanks Jonathan
Great upload. Probably best so far. Shots were incredible but also I liked the real world what it takes to get the shot clips.
Thanks Dave
These are so craaazzzyyyy!!!
I appreciate it Drew!
New subscriber & I came across your work they’re wonderful!!
Thank you so much!
Pro tip the old school National Geographic that had to be in the heat all day would stick white paper to their cameras to reflect the heat away.
I really wish they would bring back white cameras and lens to reflect heat. Black cameras and lens are good if the sun is out and your in really cold weather it can keep the electronics warm.
Robert Wong he shoots Olympus and he makes videos. He got a new Olympus camera and he went with the silver body because his black Olympus camera once in a blue moon shuts down. He said the heat is really bad sometimes in Malaysia.
Amazing work 👊
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Amazing shots omg
thank you
More great work 👏
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Hasselblad! Best shots, composition...
Brae would be happy you thought of him.
Also sending a “Shheeeeeeeeeeesh” your way.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
great shots! Excellent Location! And Mike you made me regret selling my Hasselblad even more than i already did! ( Sold it in 2008 )
Loving the content. The work was incredible and your model was an absolute superstar. Just so good!
Thanks so much
Sheesh we don’t deserve you mike!! So bomb shoot look flawless. The thing’s we do as artist to get the job done mad respect!!
Thanks Jess!
man i really wish you shot some phots of that sand blowing into the desert it looked so beautiful i wish i could make it out there to shoot it so many ideas
man i love your style!
Thanks!
Man that location and those photos you made are beautiful.
Thank you so much!
Sick video, nice photos, lovely cameras. What could you ask more ? Would love to sit and talk photo and cameras someday with you
Thanks man!
Another fire shoot homie! I have PTSD from a dust storm in Nevada.
Thanks bro!! It’s no joke lol
these shots are beautiful. this is amazing. photography takes us so many places! this is inspiring
I appreciate it Ryan.
Some of your best work bro, definitely worth the trip out to the desert 👏
I appreciate it man
Pentax for the win
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
@@MikeGrayFilm what focal lengths do you have for the P67 and which is your favorite?
Favorite channel on the tube! I love those Pentax shots though..
Thank you man!
Awesome video!
But no way I would've leave this location after only 1 hour. Especially with this light!
Haha we had no choice. Sand would’ve ruined my cameras
My impression from limited use of the Hasselblad is that it is not well designed for use in a location like this, where there is a lot of dust, dirt and sand. It is not well sealed and can be quite delicate. The Pentax is a much tougher build. In fairness to Hasselblad, it was designed for use in a studio, and in that setting, it outclasses the Pentax easily.
100% 🙌🏾
Another amazing photoshoot. It might have been the worst conditions, but y’all nailed it in every way.
Thanks so much Abby!
Yo it’s crazy because I’m not really into 6x6 photos. Personally I have a hard time composing shots like that myself, but you really killed it man! Like they look really balanced. Not constrained or forced. Yeah great job man. Win to the Hassy
Thanks a lot bro!
Hi Mike. What a great video! What great images! You are so good at what you do. Keep it up!
Thanks so much!!
and also ...... FLAMES!!!!! 😂
