@_dallasmarley_ Which do you prefer?These were captured at @balloonfiesta this year in Albuquerque. Here’s part 8 of my series of Leica vs Hasselblad. This situation was very challenging because I was shooting so many different cameras and I didn’t have comparable focal lengths. In this situation I needed the 55mm Hasselblad. I should let the record reflect that I think that these videos are always going to favor the Hasselblad because I mostly shoot my Leica in street scenarios and it would be near impossible to use the Hassy in these situations.

Overview

The creator compares a Hasselblad camera and a Leica camera at a hot air balloon festival. For each camera, the video shows a first-person perspective of holding and operating the device, a view of the composition on the camera's screen, and concludes by displaying the final, edited photograph taken with that camera.

  • — Open on a first-person shot of a neon-lit Tokyo street at night with a huge glowing ramen sign filling one side of the frame and crowds of people behind it, then your hands entering the shot with the two phones being compared.
