Recent Scenes and Adventures on Film - Mamiya RB67 

The weed farm one with Kent, from last week, was pretty ...er... Dope ... 😂😂😂😂

ahh I missed that one. Thank you! @@clairescheepers

Ahaha you'll have to get on his case to make him less camera-shy I reckon, look forward to hearing more about your combined adventures and lessons though!

Cheers Reimann! It's going to take a little while I reckon but am excited for the images to come haha!

Cheers John! Feels really good to be sharing things regularly again! Looking forward to putting out something marvellous after this trip with Stu!

Ahaha dude you should've seen my face when I realised that on top of going out on an overcast day the audio had tweaked out. Was not a good moment in time lmfao. Hypebeast Will will make a very strong return one of these days, I've got some plans for him!

Thank you so much Leo! The best ones get to live on my website as prints haha, but I'm super picky! There's one or two of these that might end up there but will have to do some further color balancing before I'm sure of it, the trick is always managing to get one where the bee is in the correct pose haha! I shall share them for sure, might not make many full bee videos but the images will pop up, especially once I've got some truly glorious ones going again!

I reckon it will bee hey, punny lady!

Ah but is the basil and background pretty, that is the question! Glad to hear you enjoyed the soundtrack again! Somehow something was copyrighted again so hopefully there don't end up being ads on this lol!

Thank you so much Sven! Was very happy to manage to get the timing right on that one! Glad you enjoyed the flower/bee things too!

Me too haha! Should be quite something considering I'm only really going to plan where to go and not much outside of that lol!

Thanks so much Alex! There are some on my website, you can check em out via the link in the description! I'm very particular about which images I make into prints so I'm slowly but surely building up the next few I'm going to put out!

Thank you so much! More adventures coming soon!

Thank you kind chicken! I'm actually moderately jealous of your snowy scenes haha, I've never seen proper snow before, a bit of temporary London snow maybe, but I want to go somewhere and see things covered in it and make some images of that business someday haha! Now is the time of year to visit here though, things are nice and temperate and it's less busy than December/Jan gets! I will mostly certainly keep going, thank you!

@@willysheepskin Yeah I have to remind myself some people don’t get snow where they live hahaha. Snow makes cool pictures but it’s so annoying carrying heavy film cameras during winter and they get really cold during snow and the film get brittle and.. oh well. I’d definitely want to see your take on some snowy scenes tho!

Thank you kindly Alp! I guess I'm just deep in my never satisfied mindset at the moment haha, I want to make some things that really feel like I'm pushing the boundaries of what I can do again and look forward greatly to sharing the results on here! All is well this side, hope all is well with you too amigo!

Thanks so much Charles! There's much excitement around these parts for sure!

Heya Nick, yeah man it's really hardcore that Vuhlandes and The Photo Dept have both been diagnosed recently, analog scene is taking a hit! Thinking about making a video offering a final update on my journey since folks still ask, and offering support to those fellas who are just starting down a heavy path. All is well this side thankfully! Better than I've been in a long time thanks to a very concerted effort, and I reckon it might be a good idea just to put that out there in a video since I guess insta stories and such don't get seen by everyone! Cheers for checking in though man, really appreciate it and am glad to know that the community is going to be there for those guys every step of the way based on my experience

I am a large fan of that idea! I reckon I'll start reaching out to see what it'd take to make that happen!

@@willysheepskinawesome :)

Ah thank you so much! The RB is indeed the best for these sort of scenarios, and I'm very happy to be out and about with it! I wish I could whisper to them that they need to stop looking away from the camera!

Alrighty then I shall have to do just that at some point! Going to be photographing enough bees in the coming while I reckon haha, hopefully I'll have some proper zingers to share!

I'm glad you reckon so Robbie! It's on the list for things to pop on the store in the near future haha!

@@willysheepskin do you have a PO Box or anywhere I could send you a print. If you want that is, made some prints in the darkroom last week and made some multiples of the same image.

She's a very happy chappy at the moment haha! Yeah I've been enjoying doing the weekly thing again, but there are a number of videos I want to make that are going to take longer than a week to do so I'm thinking two weeks going forward is going to be the better strategy!

Thanks so much!

Alriiiight the enthusiasm for the bee videos has me sold haha, more bee things to come! Thank you so much! Also very glad to hear you reckon I'm looking healthier haha, feeling that way too!

Thank you kindly Jeddo! Gonna have to head on an adventure with you two again in the near future methinks!

Very keen for that!!

Thank you so much Raphael! Kindest greetings to Berlin from sunny Cape Town!

Haha alright if you say it I take it as sage advice Asher! I'll see if I can hunt down a bee spot that'll let me make some images haha, could be nice to have things to sit alongside them besides flowers for once! Looking forward greatly to sharing the trip!! #ashersquad4eva

Ah thank you so much! I am indeed of plan to get the bees out into the world haha! Just need to make a decent amount more really cool shots which will likely take a little while but will then be enthusiastically sharing them lol! So glad you liked the bees!

I get it man, I've put over a decade into a body of work that I'm just now trying to formulate into something physical. Easier said than done type of stuff. @@willysheepskin

Thanks a ton Shane! Maaany more to come, with greater adventures and scenes on the horizon haha!

Thanks Magnus! Been making a very conscious effort to get as healthy as possible, it's a decent amount more effort than not trying but feels good to be feeling good lol!

@@willysheepskin Lets goo man that makes me happy.

Ayyy colorgrading Sundays for the win! Glad to improve it Etienne, I too spend ages finding things to have going on the side while I’m tweaking things haha! Best of luck to you!

Thanks again Justin! It will indeed be a photo trip, or rather I'll be making photos and Stu will be painting, we want to try set up a joint exhibition of the project once everything has come to fruition, it's quite exciting in theory, just need to make it happen now haha! Opels are very popular around here still! See loads of older vans and such, plus there's one called an Opel Astra which is a spiffy new one!

@@willysheepskin Love that collaboration idea!

Haha thank you! Gotta keep the vibes consistent! I think the zen moment that arose from realising my dawn audio was toast carried over into the editing process ahah

Thanks so much Chris!

Ahah cheers Sunny! That is indeed what it meant! Looking forward to bringing more such images into the world, and catching up with you at some point!

🥳🥳🥳

I went over it briefly in the DSLR scanning vs Flextight video I did recently!

Ahah cheers Bob! There will most certainly be things being put out, I just want to be able to make sure they’re as good as they can be on all fronts!

We missed you for the first comment my friend!

@@willysheepskin i will return😤😤😤

I will most certainly take you up on that if I manage to end up on that side of the world haha! Thank you so much!

Ahah Sergej = 🥳🥳🥳

Thank you kindly! Up to this point things haven't really been project focused but since recovering from my illness I've been focusing on making project based work! Have a couple of things going on outside of the social channels, and am going to try make a thing out of the bees now too haha!

PAIIIIN!

Me too! I wonder where the champion of first comments has gotten to

Yes indeedy! A manfrotto befree, has been around for like 5 years at this point and still going strong haha! If it ever dies I’ll get a peak design for something even more compact though!

😤

Gonna have to hand in some name change documents in the near future I reckon

Thanks Snay, feeling very healthy and well at the moment thanks to being able to take conscious steps towards maintaining health! The creative journey is the thing that's kept me going through all the obstacles haha!
