I left my digital camera at home and set off to the Outer Hebrides on a film photography road trip in my self converted small camper van. Shooting only film photography brings with it some challenges and in this video I try to work with hostile weather and harsh lighting. I use all of my experience as a photographer to get the most out of the landscape. I use my Hasselblad 501cm and load it with Ilford Delta 100 Black and White film. 10% off your first Squarespace website or domain: www.squarespace.com/heaton

Thomas, I've been following your videos for years, I'm not a regular commenter or anything, but your videos are fantastic. I look forward to them every week. You are easily the best story teller in the landscape photography space. Thanks for the great content week after week.

@ThomasHeatonPhoto 2 года назад

Thanks a lot, that's very kind of you to say. Glad you're still enjoying the content.

@GeorgeLoch 2 года назад

Dude, don’t sweat it, just enjoy being out there doing your thing and having a fun chill time- people who don’t appreciate it will literally click off, those of us who do will continue to enjoy your videos and work. Cheers, mate!

I started shooting film for the first time because of your videos, completely revived my love of getting out and taking pictures.

I know what you mean, but it's a hard thing to describe.

@stefangonzalevski9532 2 года назад

I get it ! I started photography with film. Every time I go back to it and get my slides developped (6x6), I have this immeasurable pleasure to check them on the light table. They seems so alive, so life-like (not sure of the exact wording here : I'm a bloody French !). They seems almost like in 3D.

@kennygo8300 2 года назад

I started shooting with film in the mid 70s. It's hard to describe the feeling of shooting something that you think it's good... but you really don't know until the film is developed. You think about each shot a LOT more. You care a LOT more. The feeling is... invested.

@neuberry 2 года назад

Next time you're shooting b&w film, try a red filter. Where your yellow has a subtle effect, a red would be much more dramatic. Combining a red with your graduated ND often is very effective as well. However, be aware that most red filters will require 2.5 to 3 stops more exposure. Also, Ilford Delta isn't inherently a high contrast film, but it responds well to exposure and development manipulation to increase/decrease contrast and shadow detail.

@paulstillwell 2 года назад

In the photo recap at the end, the 2nd image of the sand, and the arch with the sun ray streaming through it... both awesome shots! Thank-you for continuing to do what you do. Love your vids!

Great video, as always. Really enjoy watching your journey, especially since you tell the story so well and the images are always worth waiting for. Specifically love the mix of landscape and abstract, from sweeping panoramas to still life. Thank you!

When I started taking photos in 2016 this was the first channel I subscribed to and since I’ve rarely missed a video. The images are beautiful and content is engaging, but nothing is more inspiring than seeing someone truly enjoy what they’re doing…having fun and experimenting! The beautiful images are a bonus! Keep up the great work.

Thomas great video, watching you work watching you work in the harsh weather conditions and getting great shots is very motivational and inspiring. Love the shot with the wave crashing in front of the arch also very glad to be able to keep up regularly once again with your weekly videos.

@chrisdowswell 2 года назад

I think the documenting of your process, struggles with weather, unsure of images, etc is something we can all relate to... that I think makes this video successful. Story matters and you've delivered on that... Thanks! The images did turn out pretty sweet to me. 👍👍👍

It has made me excited to try film because of the amount of thinking you put into each shot and I can't imagine how satisfying it must be to get a great film photo.

@amorrisphoto 2 года назад

Personally, I feel like these "non-productive" videos are a lot of fun to watch. They also level set what it's like to be a photographer. Social media often abstracts that away so I really appreciate you sharing the videos and the shots like this!

@MichaelZieschang 2 года назад

@danieljamesphillips8364 2 года назад

That arch photo is bloody brilliant. The fact you were shooting in to the sun is what makes the image with the light coming through the arch and perfectly lighting up the crashing wave. Honestly I think that’s my favourite photo of yours I’ve seen recently.

@cinco.lorenzo 2 года назад

Thanks Thomas for these videos! Really learning a lot with how you approach landscape photography with just these two lenses. I only have a 30mm and 56mm for my camera so far (APSC) and it's easy to want/be out of the moment when you're wishing you had a different point of view (such as the dramatic feel of a wide angle). But it's far more important to be able to tell a story with the tools you have rather than losing focus (no pun intended) when you're right then and there in front of a scene. I look forward to your videos every week!
