Landscape Film Photography - Pinhole & 120 Folder on a Wet Winters Day at New Brighton 

I just love your optimism. "its bloody gloomy but Im still going for it" well done you were right the pin hole worked well

Steve you are the most honest, sincere, unpretentious photographer on RU-vid. That’s why I love ❤️ your work. Cheers 🥂 buddy. And Merry Christmas 🎁🎄

Isn't it strange, we always want the things we don't have. In the old days, when those camera were state of the art, fotografers probably would have killed for any digital camera. Today, where nearly every shot is technically perfect, we like the imperfection of those old fashioned cameras. Thank you for the video.

I love how you make the absolute best of any weather conditions. You make no excuses, you decide on the best tools and medium to use and make wonderful images. Inspiring as always!

I thought I’d down loaded all your videos, this one slipped through the cracks: Waiting on same pinhole camera from eBay to arrive: I’m leaning more and more towards film these days: Took my horseman 690 out on weekend for the first time: enjoying the slower pace and having to think more: Loved your images, but always do: You are a very good photographer Steve and your feet are on the ground: You inspire people: God bless you mate

Steve, you've given me an idea, shooting with my pinhole 'Canera,' basically an empty coffee can, fitted with a pinhole, and loaded with 4x5 photo paper, and resurrecting my 6X6 Franka folding camera. I never thought these simple implements were serious photography tools, but your work clearly demonstrates that spectacular results are worthy of the effort. Thanks again!

I've recently discovered your channel and I am in the rabbit hole. Thank you. I will get my pinhole camera in a couple days and begin that adventure. You really are special. All the best. Jeff

Steve, I watched this again and really enjoyed it. Thanks for the tour inside the Zero Image pinhole camera. You have the knack of making things in your photos look better than they “really are”.

Thanks Steve for the vlog. Good reminder for me to use my pinhole camera more often.

@6:00 this was my favorite image. I took a look at the flickr set and this one really spoke to me. Wonderful images, all.

Really appreciated the views - and all made very clear.

Enjoying your pinhole videos. Very interesting. Just received my Zero Image 6x6 pinhole and heading out to shoot my first roll of Neopan tomorrow.

A pleasure to watch, as always

Just my type of conditions Steve, love the the way you all ways find something to shoot regardless of the weather, and this is why I love watching your videos as it gives me inspiration to go out and shoot film as well. Look forward as always to the next video.

My favorite photography channel :)

I just bought a Voigtlander Perkeo and this video and all your photos surely can be some inspirations for me (and maybe learn how to do the metering right). Thank you very much for the nice video!

Steve, after watching your video, I feel tempted on buying a pin hole camera. I enjoyed watching you taking photos. Thanks for sharing.

This made me want a pin hole camera! The shots in this series were awesome!

Steve, thanks for another beautiful video. And nice to see you using film manufactured in my country :-)

I really like the square images you captured. It is a format that works so well will simple, elegant compositions, as you have shown. Thanks for sharing.

Most of the pinhole shots was very nice!

Yes, another Steve video!

Very nice photos. Just ordered a pin hole ....can’t wait to use it

Great place to photograph these type of melancholic scenes. 5:07 is where I changed lenses during windy weather a few years back and ended up with sand all over my 5D sensor...still can't believe I did that!

Yay New Brighton..I was there last week, the coastal defences make for fantastic photography 👍

Steve I like the pictures a lot man. I gonna shoot also in square with my Olympus OMD M4/3 Great video.

Another great video. Really enjoyed it Steve 👍

Simply wonderful I love the images from the v’lander 👍

Stunning photos

Those concrete shapes are laid out SO precisely!!

Stunning

Really great outing with some fantastic shots, Steve. I love how the crappy weather sets in a lot of times when you go to shoot. Thanks for sharing your work and your adventures!

Man, those pinhole shots are great. Lends itself well to the minimalism that nature (and New Brighton) gave you that day

stunning stuff

Another wonderful video, Steve. These photos are stunning yet taken with the simplest of devices. I would love to see these in a small Zine. Beautiful work as usual.

Great pinhole work as usual! Love seascapes!!!

Brilliant Steve , even with bad weather photography does have it's moments with black and white especially, I think my dad has the second camera ☺

Oh man!!! This video was amazing! Your work is beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing!

I really enjoy your videos and photos and all the different cameras you use .cant wait to see more of your videos . Keep up the amazing work

Excellent presentation. Such nostalgic images. Thanks for sharing

I have been enjoying all of your videos. They are very informative and I picked up quite a few improvements with my photography. I do like the film approach and the British Humor. I am just surprised that not more people watching your channel. Cheers!

Great super simple photo taking.... Great images too... Thanks for sharing Steve...

Nice work Steve, you got some great images in really testing weather. Thanks

The weather was testing but well worth the effort of getting out , really enjoyed your video and pictures.

6x6 with digital back would be my heaven. Possibly a Mamiya Twin Lens?

Pinhole camera needed stat! Also loved the Voightlander images also.

Just out from under a rock, I had not realised you could get that quality of image from a pinhole. When I tried it (40 years ago 😀) my attempts were rubbish. Great vid.

Hi Steve, funny to see you at one of my local haunts. I often go walking and taking photos down the various beaches on the peninsula. I too have a Perkeo - fantastic sharp lens which surprisingly resists flare as good as anything. I don't shoot much film nowadays due to processing costs, but am tempted to try B&W and develop it and scan it myself to keep the cost down. There's something about film that digital just doesn't have, and not having to use batteries and menus frees you up to just take photos. Kind Regards, Phil

Such a great set of images! It make me want to go buy one of this pinhole cameras.

Great video and a place on my tick list. Filmsnotdead

Great set of images Steve , would make a great series framed up and on the wall or a nice little book

Loved the vid mate :-)

Your videos are great. These are great sources of inspiration for me. In addition, being quite homey, you made me want to go out, browse the nature in search of interesting photos (without your talent unfortunately). Thank you for all this Hervé.

I really enjoyed the video, nice serie of black & white photographs. I was also considering buying a Zero Image camera in the new year, maybe the one that can shoot multiple formats up to 6x12. Look forward to see other pinhole shots here, have a nice day :-)

Fascinating and scintillating stuff. You’re videos are beginning to cost me dear! Ive Just sent off a test film from my medium format camera just to ensure it all works before I vlog with it next week, and now I find you using a pinhole camera. So that’s another investment pfff 😁 I might have to send the boys around! Cracking video Steve as always, outstanding results too. I shot there twice last year. 👍🏻👍🏻

Nice, nice, nice. As always, what to say more? :)))

Fascinating work as always Steve. There is a very distinctive style that comes from that camera... I like the lighthouse shots the best.

I have seen so many images of new Brighton but you made it different. Look forward to my next visit now. And like you I want some grey weather for it to lol

You have a good rhythm/pace in this video. A little bit of context, but not too much, and then the result for a decent time. I like it, feels just right! And for the weather conditions … well, I'm not convinced (but not living in England may make me just a tad prejudiced … ;)).

Excellent Steve, was about to ask you to break out the Zero Image pinhole again. Great composition as always, thank you.

Steve, I’ve recently found and subscribed to this channel. This is one of my favorite shoots so far. Is there a trick to composing with the pinhole. You had so many keepers with it! I also really liked the images with the Voigtlander. I’ve got an old Netter with a 75mm Zeiss that looks very similar. I’m going to have to shoot it and see how it works.

Steve what great simple images ace work. That camera is so cool. I hope you don’t mind but I would like to try a couple of them shots I would never of seen before. I’ll give you a shout out if I vlog it.

Excellent video Steve. I remember shooting this location with you a few years back and the images just didn't work. I now know why. The weather was too nice and the equipment too advanced. Everything's going on eBay tonight and I'm buying a pinhole again.

Great video and equally great images. Steve, do you use the composure aid supplied with the Zero 2000 or do you compose by guesswork?

Love these shots 👌🏼 do you process and print yourself or do you get someone else to do?

Hi Steve, Happy New Year! Just watching this video in readiness of receiving my first pinhole camera - Ondu 6x9. Very excited! I see you are shooting here with Fomapan 400 - do you recommend this film and speed with pinhole in dreary Blighty? With my film cameras I normally shoot with Kodak TriX, Ilford Ortho Plus 80 and Ilford FP4. Im not sure if I need to think about film differently for pinhole Photography. I don’t want my pinhole images too grainey. ..... Any advice/suggestions gratefully received. 😊📷

I always wonder about stuff like this. How far down did they dig to get to "solid" for that breakwater. They are perfectly straight.

I've never seen a pinhole camera. Sounded like it is fixed aperture around F132? Is the roll film readily available? I couldn't tell how you aimed it or if there is any focus adjustment. That is pretty fascinating to me.

i have a pinhole. im wondering when you add reciprocity?? i have been taking the measurement with light meter. add reciproicty to it then with dial that came with camera i go to say 185 and it gives me a time for exposure..or should i add it after the final number the dial gives me...i have a zero image also so i think same as you

Hi Steve, i've just got a Perkeo 1with the Vaskar f4,5 75mm lens, won it on ebay £32 looks a great little camera, ? is it any good with colour film? there was a roll of fujicolor superia X-Tra 400 in the camera on about frame 10 i wasted the last two frames not knowing it was in there, not tried to develop it, so haven't a clue what is on it or how it looks! Anyway i've ordered a 5 pack of KodaK Ektar 100 on amarzon, came today! and also some B & W Fomapan 200 ,400 from a diff site, not here yet, have you shot colour film in this cam and had good results? do you have to shoot it at the box speed or adjust settings to allow for colour/focusing? I think i read somewhere, that the Perkeo 3 has a colour lens for shooting colour film? Cheers Paul.

Steve, how do frame these shots. As you have no viewfinder. They are all perfect. Can you help us with your technique as to how you achieve it?

Steve, how does one frame a shot with a simple pocket pinhole camera like yours. Are their sight lines on the body?. Cheers Julian

Brilliant vlog Steve. You are tempting me to dust off an old Seagull 203 folding camera that still collects dust at the back of my wardrobe and take it for a stroll. As my darkroom equipment is long gone I have to ask, do you develop your own film or send it off to a lab?
