B&W photography on bright days 

"The main thing is to increase the keeper rate" wise words indeed.

Anyone else notice the "face" in the foreground rock at 10.05? Great video BTW.

Amazing pictures...love the textures and glow...lovely indeed!

Nice photographs Steve, interesting IR perspectives. Thanks for posting the video.

Another fine video, Steve. I enjoy photographers who have the skill set and desire to shoot in the harsher times of the day. It shows folks like me that limitations are more about who is behind the lens than what time of day it happens to be. Thank you. You came away with some nice images. A fine day out and about.

Great trip on a lovely day. Those infrared shots are quite nice - it's good to throw some variety in the mix. Thanks for taking us along.

Very nice photos Steve. I enjoyed watching.Beautiful! God Bless.

Love that opener!!

Wonderful photography.

Cracking images Steve. Beautiful part of the UK for sure. Well done.

What a great video! I'm just starting to explore IR photography and I love it. Thanks for sharing your tips!

Fun video. Thank you. RS. Canada

Nice video Steve. I'm fond of the pathway image at 8:13, for I like how the bright green grass glows and connects with the brighter field in the distance.

That was great Steve, I am a blue sky lover so your your blog went down well and its strange but only yesterday I shot some tree bark patterns which I quite like! thank you for taking us up there with you I am afraid I could not do that but why should I when you do it all for us! Thank you I enjoyed that....

I appreciate your warning about the overuse of infrared film.

Enjoyed your infrared images, all of them actually thank you for sharing your adventure

Wonderful exposition Steve. Inspires me to dust off my red filter.

Love those infra red shots , I always think any day is a good day for ohotography , you just have to work with what you've got 😊

Really enjoyed the images and gives me hope for those bright sunny days

Lovely video, Steve. I agree that the rock textures go very well together with the bark. The shadow struggle is very familiar...

Great infrared Steve 😊 ... shame you didn't take a Obtain of those two sheeps LOL!

Wallet, phone, car key..........and house keys, been caught like that myself! Great video, your posts always lift the spirits, thanks mate 👍

As ever Steve, I'm nodding along saying, 'this looks good' Then you pop up an absolutely stunning image. What can I say except Bleddy marvellous.

Thank you, Steve. I was just thinking about this very issue, as we've been having nothing but blue sunny skies, and sunrise at 5:15. It is hard to get to locations, hike in and get set up for a shot before golden hour has passed. This video is very helpful.

Steve you sir are a photographic Treasure. Wish you could come to USA 🇺🇸

Thanks for including sheep in the beginning and end. The frame at 14:02 is beautiful and could be a painting or a print on a wall. Interesting hike and video.

Hi, Steve. As always a very interesting video. You are doing a heck of a job, my friend. Antoine.

Thanks Steve . Another inspirational video . I must try IR some day, those images really pop . KB

Well done mate, love the infrared, not sure if I could take the plunge in that direction myself due to cost. I do envy your results though. Well done Steve!

I confess I wasn't expecting much from this, but the image at 8:13 is stunning; the image at 9:16 might pair nicely with it with some burning in the sky and around the edges. Very nice. Thanks as always.

Thank you I did enjoy this video. I like photography in high contrast lighting. I often use my Zuiko lenses they record the contrast without going over the top with it while adding a 3D look to the immages.

love the running sheep in the beginning and their portraits in the end. You have sheep. We have cows here in california. Funny thing i found some white albino baby cows with black moms yesterday, and was thinking of your sheep. Anyway good and inspirational with your videos as usual. I need to get some infrared film and /or get one of my older digital cameras modified. Its super hot out here this weekend and your video definitely reminds me of the infrared opportunity... maybe i should try wide format 9x18 zero pinhole with infra 😃... anyways, you keep going and keep the inspiration coming... maybe some day i will join the tubing community and help out as well ..

Wonderful images as always. I agree about not getting snap-happy with the infrared. Of course, it is generally good to slow down to increase the keeper rate. But with sensational modes (infrared, Lomo purple, ultra-wide lens, etc.) I have found that I adore a small collection of images, but the effect greatly wears off when I make a giant pile of them. I think that the surprise wears off and they get less interesting (for me). I imagine it's related to the effect you described when you go over a large collection of infrared images and they don't seem as incredible as at first blush. Black and white does not "wear off" like sensational techniques. Maybe because old guys like me watched a lot of black and white tv and looked at lot of black and white images, so it is not surprising or stunning to look at.

The best film photography youtuber out there. What a lovely episode Steve. I have to say though, in all instances I much preferred your film shots to your digital infrared. I find infrared photography mostly an overdone (slightly tacky) gimmick. Please give us some more hints and tips on how you get those lovely sunny landscape tones with XP2+ and filter. There's something almost Robert-Adams-esque to them. Keep up the fantastic work!

Inspiring as always… yup, wallet, phone and key check 👍😄

I really really like the film/red filter photo at 9:16 - great video!

I used to go walking up there about every 2 weeks, but not been up there for a few years. Yr video has inspired me to return again soon - such a beautiful area. The permissive path along the cliffs is fantastic isn't it? Some great shots again there Steve.

Another cracking hike with cracking photography cheers

What a beautiful area and fantastic work... I once has a 28-105 like yours, and it is such a useful lens. Unfortunately the focus mechanism on mine suddenly died. It is the only lens I've had break in the field *knocks on wood*

What a day and, shock, horror, Steve goes out, and Steve comes back with another bunch of winners! 👌

Just came from California (It's in the US.) to walk the Cleveland Way and the Wolds Way. What did I learn? What you have preached. The world is different if you only see it through a viewfinder. I was sure I had captured some beautiful pictures. And I did. Most have been "archived": The ones I took for art's sake -- focused, minimalist -- are in process. Sorry. When I am on these final journeys (I am approaching 80), I only shoot digital. Not the end of the world. But when I am home, the film camera is on a tripod and guiding me through the pastures here. What I love most is what I have to explain to the listener. Viewers wouldn't notice. I wish I could share these moments with you. But I am grateful for the Read Only experience I have with you. Thank you.

I admire the art of the contortionist, but sometimes I find using my monopod with the 12s timer helps to get rid of my shadow.... Thanks for the excellent vid.

Great images as always, and instructive to hear your thought process. Do you have a preference for digital vs film IR for some reason? or just the convenience of seeing the images immediately (but then why film at all?)

This is certainly providing a good argument for me to convert one of my cameras to IR, especially considering the typically overly hash light here in the desert.

Thanks Steve for another interesting video and great compositions. Have you tried using orange filter?

The fine scenery and good mood in this video certainly helps raise the keeper rate. Judging by the trees, this video seems to be from sometime in March or early April, maybe?

Lovely moody infra-red images ! I should think that converting one’s camera to IR would cost a serious amount of money. Perhaps using LR to convert RAW images to IR may work ? Thanks

Those opening sheep must have seen you coming Steve! Must have thought you were from the Rhondda.

Lovely shots Steve, do you process the XP2 yourself? I've only shot it once and dropped into Max Spielmann as it's C41 and it came back with droplets on the negatives...

Wonderful lesson on capitalizing on the conditions you have. Question: what visualization device do you use? It is a phone app?

I shoot in harsh mid-afternoon daylight all the time, usually with a flash to really blast everything with light. I like the hard, sort of artificial look it gives, plus there are fewer mosquitoes out in summer.

Nice video, Steve. You mentioned at 5:58 that your zoom lens had a macro feature. Which lens were you using? Was that your Nikkor 28-105? Thanks in advance.

What's the SLR clip you have holding the camera on your rucksack Steve? Crackin images!

Just got recommended your channel so not sure if you have a video on the conversion to IR for your G15. I wonder if you’ve made videos on your process to arrive at right IR cut filter for that camera.

Sorry for a newb question, but if you use a red filter on a typical sensor with a Bayer filter, do you render a large number of the sensor's pixels useless?

Will you comment on how you metered with the red filter and did you exposure bracket?

What app do you use for image previews?

I'm torn between the images at 8:13 and 9:20. They both tend to draw you in to the scene. Thanks for sharing

I think we photographers, view our own work with rose tinted glasses most of the time, or should I say infra red glasses. Uder the conditions infra red sings. For myself I have done most of my valuable work , valuable to me that is, under harsh lighting conditions, mainly on MF and LF. Bring it on, I'd say.

A triptych with wood on the sides and stone in the middle and call it petrification?

I was waiting for pink floyd to start playing at the beginning of the video

I change the words in "head, shoulders, knees and toes" to "wallet, glasses, keys and phone (keys and phone)" to aid my failing memory. Don't get confused looking for glasses if you don't wear them!

Just HDR it!!

Is it just me or is the warning around 03:20 a subtle jab at a certain fellow Brit, Thomas H.? :D
