You got some cracking shots with both cameras.

As always a very motivating video. I watched it tonight and we are having a storm today. What a coincidence! 😀 Thank you, Steve. Merry Christmas!

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience! Inspires me to take to the (Danish) North Sea coast the next couple of days... BTW: This autumn I got the Holga out again. I don't like it for B/W pictures (think they should be sharp), but its colour rendition is surprisingly nice, and the autumn colour pictures may be fuzzy but the colours generate the impression here (like in watercolour pictures).

Love your channel Steve, and this video is one of my favourites this year; amazing photos, both 6x6 and 35mm. Have a great Christmas. All the best, Radek.

Never understood the point of the Holga at all...... UNLESS Steve O'Nions is shooting it 😅 Brilliant images. Quick general question on Ilford FP4... I've got a roll but never shot it before. Is it worth giving it a bit more than 125 exposure? Do the blacks fall off as rapidly as Tmax or does it behave more like HP5? (Other than the spped obviously)

Love the Holga images, The sand dune at 9.11 is wicked. I do agree with you - you have to feel the shot is right and not shoot just for the sake of shooting. The remaining images are absolutely crackers. Those black and white images are pure magic. Thank you

As we say in the states, your mastery of the Holga "really knocked it out of the park!" Many beautiful shots including with the Nikon, but the Holga really was made for these types of images! Cheers!

Beautiful images! I don't associate northern England with sandy beaches, but will now. Is there a particular reason for using both HP5 and Delta 400 films on the same day?

The first image is actually quite good.

Lovely photos, great light , I would call that great weather Are you still c41 processing xp2 ?

your photos are always great and thanks for all the effort you put into your vedeos

Beautiful images as always, have to say that your channel is by far my favourite as the gear doesn't matter it's all about the ability of you the photographer. Hope you have a very merry Christmas and thanks for sharing.

Photos captured with Holga are absolutely amazing.

Super video, Steve, Particularly love your panoramas. Your videography is outstanding, too.

Hello Steve, a question for you. I've just purchased a Tamron 70 300 VC USD Nikon Af mount, but the autofocus doesn't work on my F80 and F60. Is your Tamron the same VC USD lenses?

Beautiful photos! I always enjoy your videos.

Thank you for wonderful photos! The Holga shots are stunning! Love the video! Bravo Steve!

Hi Steve, great video as always and loved your photos! I just got a Holga myself, and I was wondering, what's the thread size on those filters you are using? Thanks in advance and have some lovely holidays

Lets make idiotic comparations.

Nice images

Excellent video, Steve. Some really fine images to boot. Thank you for creating and sharing these videos. They are most enjoyable and I learn much from them. A couple of years ago, after watching one of your videos, I asked a local camera shop if the had a Holga camera. They did, but the price sure had gone up since you bought yours. In any case, it was neat to find that they are still available. Not that I need one. Cheers.

Absolutely stunning Holga images Steve

I know what you mean when you said with the Holga you don’t have to concentrate on photography, as in complicated settings etc, but that IS photography and and as usual you accomplish it very well. Wish my dunes shots matched yours man. They do until I look in post!🤷‍♂️🤣👍📸

Very nice images, I think they may be among the best I have ever seen on this channel, not that there weren't other great ones, but these, to me at least, are superior. Great video, excellent work.

Let's see... two blokes with cameras and tripods, taking pictures handheld on a very windy day. Yep, looks like you both have adopted my style of shooting! But shooting low to the ground, against the wind, on a sandy beach? If I was there I would have waited for you guys at the nearest coffee shop.

10:35 “If only I owned an x-pan” 😉 Merry Christmas Steve.

Now Steve, you have me wanting to buy a Holga! Great video!

Great pictures, love the vignette

Stunning photography! Congratulations.

You were certainly able to make the qualities and limitations of the Holga work well for you in this setting. I couldn't help but wonder how some of those shots would render as lith prints. And the F800 with the Delta 400 at those crops allowed the grain to contribute to a very dreamy, fantasy world. You were well rewarded for putting up with less than pleasant conditions.

Your Holga images are some of your best square images ever. Thank you.

I am stunned by how good the Holga shots are. I know you have a lot of time with one. This makes me want a Lomo Sprocket Rocket for panos. I'd need a sprocket hole film holder for my Valoi camera scanning setup, but it would be inexpensive fun. My only 6x6 rig is a Hassie 503CW with an old 40mm and an 80mm T*. Never a grain of sand shall they ever meet. I am getting high blood pressure just thinking about it.

Excelente como siempre, un placer ver tus videos y tus fotografias. Feliz Navidad!!

I love Steve’s channel, he is not hyping equipment, he is sharing technique just as Bob Ross teaches one to paint, Steve teaches one to photograph and develop the eye.

That beach is a great location for any format or equipment. Love the images from there.

Marvelous images. My favorites were the path with split rail fences and the abstract patterns in the sand. A tour de force showing the role of the photographer in conjunction with understanding of the equipment

I maintain lith prints from your Holga is some of the best work you do.

Your backpack does look useful! What model is it?

Nice expansive beach & sky! :-) And those pseudo-drone shots (courtesy of 360 cam) work really well.

Great advert for getting off the couch, and film, and your skills. Obviously 👏

Brilliant Steve, always worth watching. Merry Christmas

Caught the Season Well as usual 👍💨🎄

Why arent you shooting large format black and white then? Seeing you have all the gear and chems.. its still relatively cost effective.

Holgas are fine if you develop yourself. Otherwise i find them completely useless. If they have a set shutter speed of 1/100th (or some say 1/40th) with f8 aperture, on a cloudy day like you had, you would be getting around 400th would you using sunny 16 rule, which would well under expose your shots with iso400 film. If you rated it at 100 so you use the sunny 16 rule, you must of done development adjustents as they would be over exposed. Have i got that right?

Steve, you nicely demonstrate the advantages of using simple cameras in difficult conditions: both the Holga and the F80, in their different ways, allow you to concentrate on composition and not worry too much about settings. Who would want to be scrolling through menus in such cold and windy weather? Robin, perhaps? Some lovely results with both cameras. Thanks for another year of sharing your adventures in photography through such enjoyable and inspiring videos. Merry Christmas!

My jaw landed on the floor when I saw final result. My god. I was watching this video whilst excercising on stationary bike , I stoped and typed this comment with one hand because the other is still trying to lift my jaw off the floor. I am so greatfull to you for creating this chanel, I am photography student in Blackpool and a month ago we just been introduced with film and darkroom. I FELL IN LOVE with film , resulting buing Nikon F5 , roll of iso 100 film , i use it with my primes. I wish you were coming to Blackpool and take me for a photo walk , please , * city of light * needs to be captured by you ! Respect !

Cheers Steve - some interesting photos there. I like your results from the Holga! I've recently been playing with an old Pentax Optio digital compact - 3 megapixel - with some quietly good results. It's all about enjoying the different thought processes while using these things. Have a safe n happy Christmas! Best from the Rhondda

Lovely images, Steve. I have had a week off work to use up my holidays (they won't let us carry them over or buy our unused holidays, Americans for you), so I wanted to get up there early one morning but the tide was high at 9 meters until the afternoon. What time of day was this, it looked well out??? Again, loved the photos. And before I go, have a great Christmas and New Year.

Like all the shots! 8:10 "Hundred Acre Wood" 😅 My Konica Pop does the Holga services for me. Need to hurry out before the rain... Cheers!

Great images. Light and grain. Can you please let us know the name of your backpack. I saw something similar on a kickstarter awhile back but can't find it now. Perfect for changing lenses on a sandy /muddy beach.
