Hans Strand on Iceland using Hasselblad H4D-40

[rayandjoanne]

Great vid but is that plane sky worthy?

[iJ3WB0Yx]

Anyone saying that a 5D mark 2 is better than this is just wrong! if people use this right, in well lit scenes with masses of detail or if the image needs to be blown up to billboard size for example, nothing will beat cameras like this

Also canon lenses really arent all that, even L lenses you need to know which one to buy, just very good marketing!

(ill probably get moaned at for that seeing as im a nikon user, at least when nikon say 'This is the lens!' they're honest

[TakingHippo]

@iJ3WB0Yx in low light the 5D mkII is a great camera and is more for the video maker despite being a DSLR and despite being a canon shooter your right about the lenses which is why i am getting a converter and some old nikon manuals,

[TheShanahg]

Somebody would never understand why Pros pay thousands of dollars for a camera that the shutter speed only goes to 1/800....

[eschweiler7005]

by the way the vedio shot with 5D Mark II, LOL

[eschweiler7005]

wait for 5D mark III, it will blow hasslblad away

[TheShanahg]

@eschweiler7005 Yeah, you need to talk to the marketing group of Hassy, tell them they are stupid then.......Btw, I have a 5D2, and I don't care the crap video, although thousand of people kept saying that how wonderful 5D2 is, from my personal opinion, 5DII's biggest achievement is being a affordable CHEAP full frame camera, and also the cheapest "movie shooting" camera. However, if I were a guy who shots video, I would not stick with 5DII OR III anyways. Cheers

[LIBltdProductions]

you guys seen the snowflake feature?

[vwlover94]

@LIBltdProductions yeah lol :D

[FreddyBotZ]

i guess video cameras to do stuff like this cost round twice as much as the insanely expensive h4ds :p

[bmonroe1992]

Well at least he's really modest.

[jocadesa123]

What camera and video setting was used for this video? I noticed is 360p and it looks like HD?!

[iXerion]

40 MP, but just 360p ? lol

[cooperativ]

this would be a great video about Iceland if these guy just shut the fuck up

[acesmistake]

What a ego!

[NoMotif]

gah, hasselblad had some amazing video guys. This quality is just insane!

And actually about the video, this guy is good, has the most fitting camera, and i'm so jealous & broke! lol someday....

[geonlansis]

The dynamic range on these cameras are amazing!

[KrissiBenassi]

@geonlansis

the dynamic range is probably higher than on full frame cameras, but his pictures are highly edited as well. anyway he takes awsome pictures. have you seen his homepage? it's fantastic

[robbewuzhere]

Sweden FTW!

[TheJhong47]

Hasselblad is the SHIT!!! What more can you say! The everest of Photography and a Great Photographer!!!

[TheZetReviewer]

he said the name if the volcano correctly! :))

[ohpreis]

Strand is one of my favorite photographers.

[Rococo0815]

this kind of video make me going out and taking pictures. unfortunately not with a hasselblad in my bag -.- BUT who cares...the eye makes the picture!!

[MJmichand]

@Rococo0815 Just keep shooting no matter what you have, that's what counts, keep shooting

[hagrazz]

dear santa, ...

[dash3dot]

Amazing pictures. I'm a 100% sucker for landscape photography.

There is one more thing however, does someone know the title of the track in the background? What a mind blowing piece of music!!! Anyone?

[divedeepinside]

amazing photos brilliant places beautifull explanation extreem quality camera what more to say I WAAAANT 1 :)

[gecmartins]

Was Mr. Strand responsible for the photography of this video? I immensely enjoyed it!

[koysone]

well done on pronouncing eyjafjallajökull!! very good indeed

[KEPHALLE]

i totally admire Mr. Strand work, his images introduced me to a different perspective to understand landscape and nature photography. as an amateur trying to build experience and technical ability i got a question: is it true a cave shooting with similar lighting conditions would be "completely impossible" with medium format film? thank you.

[genkibald]

@KEPHALLE In my opinion, no. It'd just be different. I presume the H4D autobrackets for exposure and so an IDR image can be produced. either that or the sensor is big enough to incorporate the complete dynamic range...

[KEPHALLE]

@genkibald thank you for the information

[tscholent]

@KEPHALLE sucker...you think he did this little ditty for free?

[KEPHALLE]

@tscholent don't know about Strand, but i'm sure YOUR ditty is for free, and free of usefulness aswell
