been binge watching the last few days, never thought of Pinhole....... well so long bank account coffers :)
If someone told me 10 years ago I would dedicate so much time or anytime to pinhole photography I would off laughed, I love the challenge and the results can be very rewarding.
Some nice pics in difficult conditions there Will. I paid for the Android version of that Light Meter app and its got a built in reciprocity section, plus you can add in exact apertures for your various pinhole cameras. It'd save you dabbing about between apps. Its one of those "worth it" apps for me and I dont think it was too steep.
Thank you very much, I will go check out them options and make a purchase :)
Ive tried many over the years, paid for a couple to support the developer, but do find this the best
I was going to mention that.
The option to export the metered value to the Reciprocity Failure section that has a timer is something I use all the time
Cracking vid Will 🙂 Its really good to see your process 🙂
Thank you very much Iain :)
Another lovely video Will. I love shooting seascapes with pinholes down here in Cornwall and like you I prefer overcast days as the light is softer. I hope you get your Zine finished as it would be great to see your 10 year journey in pictures.
Thank you Mike. Overcast days are the best, my wife and kids strongly disagree :)
Once I start fully getting started on the zine/book I hope to get it done this year, Ive often thought about doing smaller project zines, but feel a 10 year pinhole journey is a good place to start :)
Beautiful shots! The Mia 4x5 looks interesting.
Thank you, it certainly is a well thought out camera
I just made a dogs dinner pouring tintype emulsionsin the darkroom so it perked me up to come downstairs and see you uploaded a new video. Thanks for the lift!
Good to hear it lifted you up :)
Some phenomenal shots. As if you captured a minature mountainscape. Thanks for the shoutout! Look forward to see what you shoot with the Delta :-)
Thank you Andy, look forward to getting out with the film :)
Thought that guy in the paragliding outfit was coming down on rocks! Good results from the new camera look forward to seeing more with it.
Thank you, I thought he was gonna hit them too, was a little nervous :)
Nice and lovely photos!
Your beach location reminded me of a visit many years ago to vargön (Wolf Island), a rocky island in the archipelago of Gothenburg, Sweden.
The island is full of rocks that vary from round to sharp, and I remember being very careful not injuring my back when jumping across some of the bigger rocks!
Many thanks! it's a fantastic beach, but yes, got to be very careful
You certainly put your tripod through its paces, as well as your feet! 😬 But totally worth it...great shots, particularly love the penultimate image. 👏🏻👏🏻
I've got some Lomo 800 loaded in my Holga ready to go on an adventure this weekend, weather permitting. Pinhole rules! 😂🤣
Thank you Jo, Im sure I will loose a tripod one day lol.
Look forward to watching your lashes video soon :)
Cool to start and end with that timelapse. Traitorous ankle twisting terrain there under them cliffs, but very picturesque.
That Mia 'system' camera looks very smart! Something like that for a 120 camera would be cool too imo.
Ive heard of a few people snapping their ankles here, not great , but beautiful location.
For a 120 camera that would be cool, maybe with a dark slide so focal length can be changed between each shot..I will mention it, to add to his long list of design ideas LOL
@@WillGudgeon Yeah, for 120 film there needs to be something like a slide mechanism in front of the film.
Good one Will. The mia 4x5 with interchangeable focal length is a great idea. Some very nice image.
Thank you Jim
I'm back from the Alps with my Titan 4x5. Thanks for its weight. The Mia one looks awesome. I cant see it in their store.
Not yet available, he sends them to me to test out, then sorts any little problems etc we both come across before making them available
@@WillGudgeon Ordered today
@@chriscard6544 awesome 😎👍
i keep thinking will going to get wet feet like the shots you got and the mia camera were you can change the focal length are they selling them cameras or has he not started making them yet.
I believe he has just recently added them to his store.
Hopefully at a later date more cone sizes available
