Ilford IP4 Plus and Ilford Ortho Plus for Landscape Photography

Ilford IP4 Plus and Ilford Ortho Plus are great black and white film choices for landscape photography, especially in the Fog. In today’s video, we will be creating some beautiful square format black and white images with my Mamiya 6 medium format film camera, IIlford IP4 Plus and Ilford Ortho Plus. I hope you enjoy the video!

There is one tip I can share with you for predicting fog. Watch your local weather forecast for the warm clear autumn, winter or spring days followed by a very cold night, and there is good chance there will be fog.

[@ThomasHeatonPhoto]

Some belting images!! Fog, film and trees. What a dream.

[@StephenMilner]

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, Tom. You have made my day!

I love photographing in the fog, your video and resulting images are inspiring. We in Ontario Canada don't normally get heavy blankets of fog like I see in this video that stay around much past 8.30 in the morning. What we do have is a lot of snow and like you adjust the exposure for me it's normally two stops. I also move to create better compositions with the lens I have on the camera. Excellent work thank you for sharing your expertise.

[@jieelyuu]

I like the style of your video. You explained your thought processes while shooting and saved the developed photos for the end, instead of showing the picture immediately. I think this way it’s a more authentic experience to shooting film.

[@StephenMilner]

Thank you 🙏 I’m glad you liked it.

Some bangers in there ! Bravo ! Roll on winter

Thanks Austen 🙏

Really great video, Stephen! What a great set of images! Black and white film, plus fog just works so well!!

Thank you 🙏

@@StephenMilner you're welcome man 😃 I haven't had much time for CZcams lately (watching or uploading), so I am finally catching up haha

[@StephenMilner]

Thanks 🙏 It’s good to give things a break sometimes eh.

[@GaetanCormier]

Woah! Really happy that your channel was recommanded to me via CZcams... Just amazing photographs... We rarely get foggy situations in my neck of the woods (Montreal, Quebec) really envious of your shooting conditions. You've got yourself a new subscriber! :)

[@StephenMilner]

😀 Welcome on board! Thank you 🙏, I am glad you like them.

Excellent conditions and work.

Great shots Stephen. FP4 is definitely the best stock film in these situations..I love HP5 and Delta 100. Great job again. I suggest to you to get yourself a Spotmeter..( a used, good condition Pentax Spotmeter V will be an excellent asset, that won't break the bank).

[@MattWeddis]

Another great video Stephen. My two personal favourite images were the very last one, with the birds, and one where there was a shorter, stumpier, tree to the front right and another tree farther back on the left. We don’t get much fog here but I’ll be keeping my eye on the weather forecasts in future. I have a few fog images on a half shot roll of HP5, from the one foggy morning we’ve had lately. I’ll finish that roll this week so I can develop it next time I’m developing other film. As always, I’ve picked up more tips that will help me improve my film photography game. Thanks mate.

[@StephenMilner]

You welcome mate. Thanks for watching. 🙏 I hope your images turn out great. I’m not sure what the weather is like where you live but, here fog is predictable. I watch out for the warm clear autumn, winter and spring days followed by a very cold night.

[@adailyodyssey]

Lovely photos. Good job

[@greypixelphotographydotcom5754]

Fantastic images. You are so lucky to finish a roll with a collection from same place and on the same day.

[@boristrouserkov]

Thanks for this video Stephen - looks like autumn is well on it’s way in the UK and we get lots of low cloud / fog locally. Now I know what to shoot on those days !

[@StephenMilner]

Thanks for watching Boris. I hope you make some beautiful images on the next foggy day.

[@hughsydney2620]

Nice collection of images!

Thank you 🙏

[@ahmedal-saeed9374]

Yah that is FP4 my go one film also in bright day you can use Orange or Red filter to get same results .

[@StephenMilner]

Thanks for the tip 🙏

[@RYANPARKPHOTOGRAPHY]

Thanks for another beautiful episode.. I love all the photos but 16:24 the most… it’s very hard to expose in foggy condition for me..

[@StephenMilner]

Thank you 🙏 How do you meter for fog?

[@RYANPARKPHOTOGRAPHY]

@@StephenMilner I havent tried a lot as sydney doesnt have much fog, but i usually average metre or metre for highlight for color negative..

[@tonyhayes9827]

Great images Stephen. Well done. Do you ever ask the lab what developer they use. I only ask because I get my film developed at Vanbars here in Melbourne but have never thought to ask.

[@StephenMilner]

Thanks Tony 🙏 I haven’t but I’ll be going to see them some time soon and I’ll ask them. I know they use dip and dunk machines.

[@tonyhayes9827]

@@StephenMilner Yes I've often thought if I suggest to Vanbars how to develop them they might get get pee'd off? Haha. Anyway they always come back good.

[@AbelKleinblatt]

I saw 'trees, fog and film' and I was in! Some great shots here!
To what you say on the fact that the images were contrasty when you got them developed. This could be since most labs develop all b&w film the same way. Every film has their own development time so even half a minute longer in the chemicals could result in a higher contrast in your film.
I also create videos on my film photography adventures! Hope you get to check some out as well!
Best from the other side of the world: Belgium!

[@iangordicans8763]

Great vid ... do you ever regret selling the Mamiya 7?

[@StephenMilner]

Thanks Ian. Not yet. As of today, the only thing I prefer in the Mamiya 7 is it’s light meter. The Mamiya 7 has a spot meter and the Mamiya 6 is centre weighted.
