D.DanielAURORA Film Lab is a color grading tool for DaVinci Resolve, built from color chart data captured and measured across 55 different film stocks.
There are already many presets and plugins out there that aim to replicate the look of film. AURORA Film Lab takes a different approach — treating film as "classical colors" in photography and cinematography, and combining them to create something entirely new.

#colorgrading #filmphotography #JapanHow to color grade by blending film colors | DaVinci Resolve|AURORA Film Lab|UpdateD.Daniel2026-08-09 | I recently released AURORA Film Lab, a grading system that lets you blend 12 hand-picked colors from 55 film stocks. Thanks to everyone, it's been used by many people so far.
In this video, I'll show you how to create your own unique look by blending multiple film colors using AURORA. I'll walk through the process of randomly combining film stocks while grading real footage.
I'll also cover the changes in the latest update (v1.1), including skin tone improvements, a new halation node, and updated color space recommendations.

#colorgrading #filmphotography #JapanI built my own waist level viewfinderD.Daniel2026-07-20 | I recently released AURORA Film Lab, a grading tool that blends 12 film colors to create your own, but before that, I was actually working on developing a waist level finder product.
I ended up putting the release on hold because I couldn't reach a level I was satisfied with in terms of optical performance and design. But I'd like to share the footage from when I was testing the prototype.
It never made it to market, but going through the process of designing and developing a product taught me just how much effort goes into getting the products we see every day into people's hands.
I hope to pick this up again someday once I've built up the skills.

#davinciresolve #colorgrading #filmphotographyHow to Convert Your Camera into a Waist-Level Viewfinder CameraD.Daniel2025-11-16 | I tried out the "VF01 viewfinder" released by Ulanzi.
Functionally, it only lets you look at the scenery through frosted glass, but I think that's precisely why its charm shines through in this age where everything else is becoming so multifunctional.
It's a deeply satisfying item that reminds me of the pure joy of taking photos when I first started with cameras. ========

I am very happy to be able to easily take high-sensitivity photographs in colour, which is difficult under the current film supply situation.
However, it was also an opportunity for me to become acutely aware of the inexperience of digital development and to find issues that I need to face up to. Recently, I have had many opportunities to shoot with film, so I have spent a lot of time on film scanning, but I hope to focus on digital development as well.

#hasselblad #film photography #JapanThe Magic of the Waist Level Finder|Pentax6×7D.Daniel2024-09-29 | It's been about six months since I last posted a video.
During that time, I was working on short videos, but I decided to resume posting videos because I still think that a video of the length of YouTube is the best way to visualize the feel of film shooting.
I would like to thank everyone who commented and registered during my hiatus.
I hope to gradually resume posting more frequently.

At a time when photography was not yet common, George Eastman founded the Kodak Company with the belief that he wanted to make photography an everyday thing. Without his invention, photography and cameras might not have become so much a part of our lives.
I have been filling my camera with Kodak rolls of film, which have been in production for over 100 years, and photographing the sea at dusk.

#hasselblad #film photography #JapanHasselblad 500CM + CFV II 50C|Silent POV PhotogoraphyD.Daniel2024-03-08 | I finally bought the CFV II 50C!
The CFV 100C was recently released and attracted a lot of attention, but in my case I mainly shoot hand-held, so I came to the conclusion to buy a second-hand CFV II 50C from the point of view of price and concerns about camera shake with a high-resolution camera.
From now on, I would like to use film and digital depending on the situation.
(It is great for me that I can now shoot without worrying about the cost of film and developing...! I would like to shoot even more frequently hereafter...)

#hasselblad #film photography #JapanNight Film Photography in Tokyo|Hasselblad 500C/M|POVD.Daniel2024-03-03 | This time I shot film at night using a tripod and release.
It is not as easy to shoot hand-held at night as with modern digital cameras.., but I was surprised to see how well film cameras can capture nighttime images with a little effort. I hope you will enjoy the night scenes of Tokyo captured on film :)

I aim to create videos suitable for people to watch at relaxing times, such as before going to bed. I hope to upload quiet POV videos like this one in addition to videos with narration and subtitles.
Since this is my first effort, I would appreciate your comments on the tempo and other aspects of the videos!

#waistlevelfinder #film photography #JapanA film camera approved by NASA| Hasselblad 500CMD.Daniel2024-01-24 | In the beginning of this video, I introduce Hasselblad's relationship with NASA.
Last year while photographing the aurora borealis in Yellowknife, there was a moment when the aurora exploded directly overhead. It is said that auroras occur at altitudes of 100 km or more. It is also from above 100 km that they are defined as outer space.
I felt the aurora so close that I could almost reach it, and I gradually became convinced that one day I would be able to go to space.
Of course, space travel is out of my price range now, but I believe that the time will come when everyone will be able to visit space. I will continue to shoot with Hasselblad cameras in the hope that that time will come.

#waistlevelfinder #film photography #JapanFilm Photography at Night in Tokyo - Pentax67D.Daniel2024-01-03 | This time, I photographed Shibuya at night with my Pentax 6×7.
I tried to shoot hand-held as much as possible because I needed to be careful about where I positioned the camera so as not to obstruct traffic, but this time I used a tripod and release because I was shooting at night.
Although we now live in an age when it is easy to take pictures hand-held with image stabilization functions, this shoot was a good opportunity for me to remember the importance of imagining the composition of the shot and holding the tripod firmly in place.

#waistlevelfinder #film photography #JapanFilm Photography in Tokyo in AutumnD.Daniel2023-12-23 | This time I visited a park in Tokyo to capture autumn on film!
The price of film has been rising, especially in recent years, and it is no longer possible to casually release the shutter. Often, I look through the viewfinder and think, "There might be a better place," and walk away without releasing the shutter. However, I have recently come to realize that feeling the weight of each shot is one of the ways to enjoy film in the modern age.

Log shooting is now available from the iPhone 15 series. I was very curious about it and finally got my hands on it... From 1:22~ of the video, all the material was shot with the iPhone. Please check it out!
(The beginning of the video and the overhead view of the film camera were shot with a different mirrorless camera.)

Since we shot with 35mm film, I was able to post more examples of my shots than ever before. However, as a result, the tempo of the video has become slower, and I am a little worried that the viewers might be bored...
I would be very happy to hear your comments and opinions!

#nikonf3 #film photography #JapanFilmphotography on an uninhabited Japanese islandD.Daniel2023-11-05 | This time, I took pictures with my Pentax 6×7 on Sarushima, an uninhabited island in Tokyo Bay.
Needless to say, a camera is one of the most important factors in obtaining good shooting results. In addition, I think it is equally important to find an environment and subject that you want to photograph in order to get good results.
I have visited Sarushima many times in the past, and each time I visit, I make new discoveries, making it a fascinating place for me.
A camera which is fun to shoot with. And places, people, and things that are fun to photograph. I feel that when all of these things come together, the results of your shots will naturally be wonderful.

#waistlevelfinder #film photography #JapanJapanese summer festival on filmD.Daniel2023-08-11 | I shot a summer festival with my Nikon F3.
I used Lomography ISO 800 film because I wanted to stick to hand-held shooting, even though it was nighttime. When shooting digitally, you can increase the ISO to gain some shutter speed at night, but this is not the case with film.
The restrictive shooting environment may be one of the advantages of film, which allows for more creative angles and compositions.
