Welcome to my You tube . I am a fisherman from the far depths of West Cornwall. I am also a Landscape Photographer . I use the Hasselblad 500 CM , Pentax 67, Nikon F100, Nikon's, Contax 139 , Zeiss Ikon Nettar and5x4 Field Camera
I am constantly drawn to water as can be seen in my Photographs
Yes I do but I can't do the same thing for more than a decade. I miss the people and banter but not the responsibility and expectations some people bring
Just found your video, Austin. Very nice indeed. I purchased a Mutar 2X in the late 1990's to use on my 250mm CF and was very disappointed with the reduction in image quality. Only used it about 5 times and it is still in it's box. Wanted the 500mm CF but they were very expensive. Move forward 25 years and I purchased the 500mm CF. I actually like the high key images you took from the bridge without a yellow filter. I have moved from Delta 100 back to FP4+ and develop in 510 Pyro. The 250mm CF is a great lens as long as you can minimise all vibration.
I like your photos. I too have been toying with the Idea of using the half dark slide. I had forgotten that they even existed until a few weeks ago. Amazon has them for about fifteen bucks.
V interesting. I remember seeing a photo essay from possibly Don MCullin years ago that was pushed tri x and I think it was developed in rodinal for that distinctive look. Images emerged from a blizzard of grain and it suited the subject really well in that instance.
I was just scanning in some photographs of Porthleven tonight so imagine my surprise at coming across this video. I also brought a 4x5 but didn't have the guts to shoot it at night :)
This just popped up as a recommendation on YT as I was having my morning cuppa, very enjoyable. An epic location which I have been to a couple of times - great to see someone not shooting the obvious shots, good watch - loved the images. I am not a film shooter. atb Alan
Super images! Brilliant video! If grain a problem, use a slower film. FP4 is brilliant. The Joy of 35mm Leica is smallness! I use the 35mm Goggle-Summaron! Lovely lens! Bravo!
Dig your eye. Missing the large format though. Also, you may want to change the angle you video yourself. You have us looking right up your nose. Keep up the vids please. Really like your work.
Nasal shot noted , I confess I've fallen out of love with 4x5 right now . I'm trying to travel light while I recover from knee surgery Thanks for watching and commenting Cheers oz
I loved your photos, specially the Hassi ones, not only those at night. But these ones encouraged me, to try the Hassi at night. I've only used the Rolleiflex so far for it.
Austen : I have a 90mm and I use it a lot , the others are the 50mm DR Summicron , and the 35mm Ultron 1.7 those are my commonly used lenses right now.
The only way I can understand this is if you're cropping to a 6x17 RATIO (actually something like 3x9 cm)? Would have been nice to see the original 6x9 before 'cropping' ;-}
@@AustenGoldsmithPhotography hi I don’t shoot much 35mm these days but when I do I tend to use a stainless steel reel and tank and use a 1:100 ratio. Constant agitation for the first 45 seconds then agitate for 10 seconds at the halfway stage - about 30 minutes. Not a quick process but it does mean you can vary the iso rating on a single roll of film and still get very good negs for scanning or printing.
Austen thank you for giving me encouragement .... I do not have a dark room or wet room , so I send things out and the costs are insane. I have to start imaging at least scanning somehow in my tiny home. Cheers and again thank you ; Chris
Quite beautiful photography, very classic combination. I recently tried a few rolls of Tri-X after nearly thirty years, and I was not excited by the results. I find the HP5 more subtle. I also tried the HP5 last week in Perceptol stock ( I used to use X-Tol 1+1 for HP5), no dilution and iso200. Absolutely beautiful tonality and fine grain for a fast film. Worth a try.
Again a super video, with actual photos! My age has ended, carrying heavy gear! Truth tell, I am lazy and seldom ever, dragged that nonsense! My M3 (ziggy) after 57 years, It got named! The 50mm and 35mm Summaron! I seldom carry extra film! No tripod, so long exposures a big NO! Get healed! Less is better! Bravo!
