Landscape Film Photography - A Spring Morning with the 4x5 

Thanks Mark.

It was indeed a lovely walk, not something I can do lately due to the awful weather here.

You’re welcome.

Thanks James.

Thanks Gerardo

Thanks Tim.

Thanks William.

Thanks again Tony.

Thanks Rob, I really enjoy infrared at this time of year.

Thanks Graham, each trip is getting longer just to get the video footage I need!

Thanks Bruce.

Thanks Mike.

Thanks Craig.

Thanks Hannah.

Thanks Charles.

Indeed Glen, the use of polarisers and neutral density filters always change the way we see things in quite a dramatic way.

Thank Tom.

Thanks Paul.

Thanks Andrew.

Thanks Clive.

Thanks Spencer, we do have a wide range of subjects to shoot in the North of England.

Thanks Neil, I have another video out soon where I take a walk along the Shropshire Union canal near Tiverton.

Thanks Klaus.

Thanks Philip, IR can be the answer to bright sunny days when little else will work.

Thanks Steve.

Glad you like them 🙂

😀

Thanks Isabel, I think you’d like infrared.

I am very lucky indeed, so much variety within easy reach of home.

Thanks Steve, I seem to pick compositions that don’t allow me to exploit the benefits of large format and all its movements.

Glad you enjoyed it Chuck.

Thanks Kamil, I was pleased with the result too.

Thanks Gopi.

Thanks Barry.

Thanks Alan, I used to love watching Jack in Out of Town on Sunday afternoons.

Thanks Gaetan, I’ve never tried E6 IR before and would like to give it a go sometime.

Thank you.

Thanks Charles.

It’s surprising how many decent local spots there are but as you say Paul it’s better near to home this time of year when getting to the more dramatic locations means a 2am start (still fun though 🙂).

Yeah 2am starts a struggle for me, I've been having to wildcamp if I want a sunrise at the moment which is lovely but a pain taking all your gear plus camping stuff. Have you ever photographed Eastham Country Park on the Wirral? I'm in love with the old trees there, seems like a location you would enjoy.

I need to explore the Wirral a bit more rather than sticking to the obvious new Brighton and Heswall moorings. One for winter methinks.

Thanks Tim. I used to photograph the area a lot some years ago but stayed away until recently. I see if differently now and keep finding new places to shoot. Good luck at Stanner Nab.

Thanks Ninni.

Cheers Gary.

Definitely look for some woodland this summer.

Thanks Sandra 😀

I also like some movement Andy, seems very calming somehow.

Glad you liked it 👍

The higher f number increases your depth of field but beyond a certain point diffraction will soften the image. For large format f/22 is considered fine but I can see it come in at f/32 and smaller, particularly with the wideangle lens. For 35mm it is more tricky as the lack of outright image quality somewhat lessens the diffraction effect. For example, if you use the same lenses on a full frame DSLR as a 35mm camera you can see diffraction easier on the DSLR. I would say you are OK to use f/16 most of the time on 35mm film but at f/22 you will likely see a softening of you have a good enough scanner.

Thank you very much! I'm learning something each one of your videos!

Thanks Vishwas 🙂

I’ll be doing a vlog from your back garden next Paul 😀. It is fortunate that there is a parking space opposite the Peckforton castle gatehouse which makes it a short walk across the field to the woods. I wish there was a decent view of Beeston castle but I’ve yet to find one.

It’s near Peckforton mere Ian, a very quiet spot which suits me.

Haha, I had no beef with them being in my shot 😀

Hi Abdul. It looks like my Manfrotto MG460. Very light and compact yet strong and sturdy.

Thank you Steve.. keep on sharing great work.

It’s not out until the Autumn 🙂

He did indeed Nicholas, I think Ansel Adams also did.

Hi. It depends where you are but providing you only want to take a quick photo most land owners don’t seem to mind. I would never walk across private land intentionally but in the UK trespassing is not usually a criminal offence unless damage is done.

Thanks Ed, IR is definitely a love or hate way of representing a scene.

It’s a Velbon Rexi L Stas, the new version is called the 655.

Eeek, that explains a lot as they were fairly confident and wouldn’t leave me alone. Glad I didn’t risk getting a shot in the same field as them.

I’m glad they stayed on the udder side of the fence though.
