In this video, my dog Barney has a good run around on the beach and I take some photos around St Mary's Bay and Dungeness on the Kent coast.
I'm shooting expired film from 2006 in my Mamiya 7 ii with the 135 panoramic adapter kit which allows you to shoot 35mm film in this medium format camera.
Film developed with the Bellini C41 kit and scanned with on an Epson V850 scanner.

Hi Craig, I am so inspired by your photography and relationship with you dog. Thank you for producing these lovely videos. RIP to Mr. Barney and I wish you all the best with your health. I'm sorry for the difficulties in your life. Your work here has inspired so many and I am moved to tears watching your videos this morning. Thank you.

LOL! I don’t go out of my way to find expired film either. I just open my cupboard and there it is! Lovely shots of an iconic location. 2nd shot in particular is amazing for its precise framing (lining up the horizon with the top rail). Not easy with a rangefinder.

I was surprised how well the old film performed. I was given a roll of Kodacolor VR 100 film (120) the other day, it expired on 12/1986 and was bought from Coopers for £2.00 originally. I'll save it for a special occasion.

Yes, it's a little hit and miss. Some rolls are a bit wonky but that's to be expected.

@blaxton2 5 лет назад

Since I don't currently have a way to make full frame panoramic photos-perhaps a 6x12 back for my 4x5 is in the future-I appreciated the vicarious experience. Barney, as always, is a reminder that life is to be thoroughly and intensely enjoyed. Dog bless us all.

@martincutrone5816 5 лет назад

Images turned out quite well. The expired film performed pretty well. Looks like it had good dynamic range for expired film as I didn't see any grad filter use for some of those brighter sky. Thought your compositions of the sunset pictures with the electric towers as leading lines pointing to the sunset was inventive and effective. And Barney is always a joy to watch. He really seems to have a great time when you're out.

@CraigPrentisPhoto 5 лет назад

Thanks, yes, there was quite a bit to work with in the negs. The processing was a fairly simple colour correction, a bit of contrast and sharpening. A couple of the wide shots towards the power station had a very subtle grad applied for the sky in Lightroom.

@CertainExposures 5 лет назад

Such an amazing place to explore. The shot, while you were on the ground, of the dog waiting for you to pick up and throw the stick would alone be worth the whole outing. The other shots were just icing on top. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I'm a sucker for taking panoramas and love film ones like you do here.

Really great video again Craig ..Dungeness is just such a weird place. I've had a few nights down there in the winter shooting the boats with stars above/torch painting etc and its a very spooky place at 0200am in February ! It was on my list of next few videos, I'll have to cross it off now !! Love the way Barney's tongue matches the red valerian plant in that image !!

I just bought the panoramic adapter for my Mamiya 6 and keep wishing I had the 50mm lens. I love the format of these things but you just always seem to need to be wider, interesting to see how your new 43mm works in this situation. I actually have a shot of that same boat you took on 5x4 from Christmas time too!

@CraigPrentisPhoto 5 лет назад

You can get a lot in with the 43mm and the pano adapter. I think it worked OK with this flat environment and big sky. Must get back down there again with the LF. Cheers.

Really enjoyable Craig... from the antics with Barney to the great cinematic looking images - for some reason I kept thinking of spaghetti westerns... not sure if it was the pano style images, the colour renditions or the sparse landscape look from Dungeness? Also, I watched as soon as the notification went up and is in past times I watched the whole thing in 360p as the 1080 takes a while to load up. Will watch again later too.

@markharris5771 5 лет назад

I use the same developer and setup except I have the v800 not the v850. I do as little as possible with the scan, except clean the neg and scan my images 'flat' then I do all my editing in Photoshop. I have over bought my chemicals thinking the bigger box would workout cheaper, but I don’t develop enough colour film to make it worthwhile and ended up throwing quite a bit away. Another brilliant video, very enjoyable indeed, you got some great shots there.

@CraigPrentisPhoto 5 лет назад

The last Tetenal C41 kit I bought was a 2.5l kit and I made up 2x1lt and 1x0.5lt. It went a bit over as far suggested storage times go but I managed to get 29 rolls/sheets dev'd with that kit (a mix of 35mm, 120 and 4x5). This Bellini kit is 1lt so I'm probably looking at about 10-12 but we'll see.

@markharris5771 5 лет назад

Craig Prentis It was actually the Tetenal kit I used, way too big for my needs, I only develop about 2 rolls of 35mm colour and about a dozen rolls of 120 a year. I should keep more accurate records really...and shoot more colour 35mm film. But B&W is so emotional, atmospheric, greater tonal range and you can lay around with different developers etc. Best of all I can enlarge it and play in the darkroom.

@TheMrMKultra 5 лет назад

Some of the first shots I had to look twice. Brilliant idea to have the handrail just covering the horizon. It made for a very cool abstract. But most of the photos were very good and you made the most out of the landscape. As you said, it really benefits the landscape to give it more room in the composition. All the negative space makes the subjects stand out that much more. Also, having seen people use the X-Pan, this Mamiya Setup should be more flexible, as you can also shoot 120 film with it, right?

@CraigPrentisPhoto 5 лет назад

Thanks Marvin. With an xpan, it's dual format and you can choose to shoot either normal 35mm size (24x36mm) or panoramic (24x65mm) on the same roll of 35mm. When you have the Mamiya 135 pano kit installed, you can only shoot panoramic shots at 24x65mm (and no other size) by loading it with a roll of 35mm film. In order to convert it back to a medium format camera (using 120 film) you must take the pano kit out of the camera.

@MeAlexSenna 5 лет назад

Another clean and very inspirational video Craig, I really like the photo of Barney and the brick structure, especially the vertical. I got a question; on the dusk images when you used the tripod, do you add more time for reciprocity of the film? What’s your take on that? Some films are better at that but regardless, How important is to adjust the esposure time for that? Thanks

@CraigPrentisPhoto 5 лет назад

Thanks Alexandra. I didn't plan to be shooting quite so late towards sunset but those last exposures were around 1/4 to 1/2 sec. I wouldn't normally even consider reciprocity failure until over a second. As all films are different, I'd have to look it look it up to see if there is some technical info out there. As these were expired films, it's a bit hit and miss anyway. The camera was predominantly metering for the sky so it did an OK job this time.

@EwanDunsmuirImages 5 лет назад

Hey Craig, Sorry I havent commented on you rvideos for a little while. Havent been on here much! "Must do better"! I like the pace of this vid again mate and ill tell you what i got from it... In the beginning, when all was quiet with only background noise and you stood and looked for soemthing to take - i was actually trqnsported to where you were and i could intuitively feel what you were seeing and how you felt when you scope for compositions. Thats quite a skill! MOre is less and i like your stripped back way of presenting your videos. Well done, and "big Ups' to you for c41 Pano! Love that image at 20:08 E

@CraigPrentisPhoto 5 лет назад

Cheers Ewan, good to hear from you. It's tricky to know what direction to go in when making these videos. I'd rather keep them as kind of 'following me along on the experience' type thing with quiet moments and natural sounds. You can never please everyone and some people want this and some want more technical explanations. I just enjoy going out with Barney and improving a little each time. I wish the filming was easier and these trips out become quite tricky (as you know) thinking about lots of different things at once. I'm considering taking it further as there seems to be a willing audience and I wonder if there's scope for workshop/tuition type stuff here? Maybe I should put some feelers out?

@geepi265 5 лет назад

How do you metering on Mamiya7 camera (Ver. i and ii , are different?) center weight , spot ???

@CraigPrentisPhoto 5 лет назад

It's supposed to meter from an area just below the range finder patch, so just below centre. I believe the meter has a fairly constant field of view so it's more like centre-weighted when using the 80mm, average when using the 150mm but it becomes more like a spot meter when using the 43mm. I find it's best to use AEL, meter for the important part of the scene and then recompose. That way you can set your aperture and the shutter speed will be set by the camera in 1/6 stop increments.

@iainmc9859 2 года назад

@@CraigPrentisPhoto I don't have it! But I was thinking to buy one since I started reading about the focusing problem, and now I am not sure about it. I have the 80mm and I can't be happier. Maybe I will go for the 50! I have the feeling that 43 is extremely wide.

@CraigPrentisPhoto 5 лет назад

I started with just the 80mm and it's a beautiful lens, as you know. I need to stick with the 150mm for a bit longer as I've been disappointed with the in-focus hit rate and these are static subjects where you are convinced it's dead sharp in the frame. I've had the rangefinder checked and been told it's fine, so how does that happen? The 43mm is amazing. I'm so pleased with it. I'm sure you'll find the 50mm is the same (and a slightly 'safer' wide angle of view).

@@CraigPrentisPhoto Other photographer told me to make sure that the viewfinder is calibrated, but as you said even checking that, doesn`t solve the problem. Maybe it is a manufacturing flaw. It is a shame because sometimes I miss the 150mm, especially for landscapes. Anyway thanks your answer and keep on making videos, I really enjoy your contents.
