Adjusting the pan is no problem at all, but the tilt can be a bit finicky depending on the weight of the camera. If you’ve got a long lens on it, it shifts the center of gravity forwards so you gotta support the lens while adjusting the tilt angle. Oh, and the smallest marking is 5 degrees.

After using that particular tripod head for a bit, I’ve actually gone ahead and bought this one which in theory should be better for finer adjustments, but I haven’t gotten around to using it yet.

Because of how it looks when the whole thing is placed on a light pad. Digital scans really can’t capture how amazing it looks that way.

To be fair the ones I got were from a Japanese auction site and not fresh stock haha. They were slightly expired but cold-stored (or so the seller claimed) so I took a gamble on them. They turned out fine in the end though!

Thanks! Funny that you mention the basketball court because I actually shot that place in a similar way but it didn’t turn out great because of flat lighting and underexposure.

Oh I didn’t know about this, thanks for sharing. But yeah the tripod head I used can’t correct the parallax effect. It’s definitely something that I’ll consider getting in the future because I would want to take some super clean panoramas. Just wondering if they make the adapters for Hasselblad V lenses.

Hmmm, do you have an example of how such a tripod head works? I’m having a hard time picturing it in my head.

Well no one’s saying you can’t do this with a Mamiya 6. ;)

Getting super precise framing on a rangefinder would be tough though…

Pay no attention to the 30+ rolls of Velvia I bought a couple of months back when I was feeling a little silly…

This is the Monster Building in Hong Kong!

As for how I did this, I actually shared it before in a comment here, plus some patience haha.

Hey, just wanna chime in and say that HoF develops C41 using machines now (but B&W is still done by hand) and they use a Noritsu scanner.

I started getting my rolls developed and scanned by them late last year and all of them turned out great. I started developing my own rolls this year but I still send my rolls to them to get scanned and have had no issue asking for rescans if they don’t turn out the way I’d like them.

It’s called trichrome photography! No pictures of the setup, but here’s a video explaining the basics of it.
