Great set of pictures Lee. I went to our local graveyard two weeks ago and did Infrared but as wide shoots and converted to black and white.

Very nice, Lee. I have a Lumix GF1 converted and love it.

05:30 wow impressive

A very interesting video. I enjoy very Much the second photo.

The angel with ivy is nice but reminds me of Dr Who Weeping Angels

Just subbed, i have a full spectrum canon powershot, makes fantastic videos and photos with filters on it, what has always got me confused is i can use those filters on a normal camera and get similar if not the same results, makes me wonder if the money i spent on full spectrum was worth it.

A successful morning I'd say, all things considered with the recovery. I like the final shot it works well.

I really like the last shot. I find 6x17 can be an excellent medium for shots that are not your classic panorama subjects.

Every time I get severe exposure calculation error, it makes me think of those calculation sheets that have clear rows and tick-boxes for common filters and row or two for random filter note. They could help to avoid miscalculations when you have a list of filters + a row of compensation values to add up. Sometimes it's just open up a couple stops but with polarizer, center ND and grad it is so easy to forget one or make a calculation error. With everything on paper it would be so much more reliable and I like the data on my notes anyway.

Wonderful shots along the estuary. My fave being the second of the three images.

Thanks Lee. Very informative video. I was born in Devon and have spend some time on Dartmoor. Now live in Orlando, FL, USA, but would love to spend some time on the moors shooting panoramic landscapes. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. Curious what you scanned these negs with. Sorry if you already answered that.

Hello i have a full spectrum camera sont dsc v1 and v3. Are there filters that have slight magnification im trying to correct the sharpness of the image.

i just trichrome and include 720 ir filter it looks pretty cool. good vid tho

I’m enjoying your film photography exploits. Coincided with my re-discovery of film, particularly medium format. I’ve also obtained the Chroma Six17 and I’ll be interested to hear your views on it. So far I’ve only managed to get 1 decent image out of it from 2 rolls of film. I’m on my second film back and still getting light leaks🙁 I may have to return it if Steve can’t sort it.

I am becoming a big fan , nice pics prefer the colour I have 6x12 and 6x17 film backs so more of this format please ,thanks for your hard work and dedication to this channel always looking out for new content thank you

1st one difficult to choose, perhaps I prefer 850nm a tiny bit more, 2nd better in color and I really liked the 3rd one, much more than 4th that seems a bit too empty. I wonder how the IR photos would have looked like with traditional red-blue swap. More normal blue sky always appeals to me in IR photos in 650-720nm range.

I prefer the B&W NM 850 shots on both the first two shots all are nice but the IR shots work better in my option. I do shot a fair amount in full specturm and IR with either 560 or 850 and prefer using the 850NM.

For an introduction, channel swapping doesn't make any sense with your example. You need to show people an example with blue sky in the photo. I also recommend resetting your white balance AFTER the channel swap to get back to natural tones where the filter allows (I.e. for the 590 there are still some natural colours captured). White balancing after the swap will allow you to represent those colours accurately, while still having the effect of infrared on the foliage etc. With more advanced editing you can adjust the infared colours with or without changing the sky hue as to your preference.

For what it is worth, fine art is most certainly a an ambiguous term and in my view an image can be art regardless of whether it is fine art or not. What I teach my students, is that fine art implies two characteristics. 1: There was an image that was conceived or pre visualized as Ansel would have called it, in advance and planned and executed for a set of favorable conditions. 2: The image was intended as part of a broader concept. That broader concept could be for use in a book, for use in a set such as tryptic, or as part of a collection intended to be printed and displayed together to tell a story on a gallery wall or printed as part of a specific project such as a box set. To me, those two characteristics separate spontaneous photos, even really good ones, from art, conceived in the mind of the artist. No doubt, you will get many different answers to the fine art question but the definition I have offered has served me well and helped my students separate their good work from their artistic creations. Oh, and by the way, it does not matter if it is film or digital so long as the above characteristics were met.

Hi Lee Thank you for sharing a quick question not sure what l am doing wrong but if l put 1/2s and the 10 stops into the reciprocity app with Delta 100 and l get 43.12s when l look on the Lee filter app l get the 8m at 1/2 but obviously that doesn't take into account the reciprocity failure and you used the 8m at the image looks nicely exposed lol...

Less talk, more photography.

It's so good to see you back !!!

Nice to see you back!!!

So good to see you back !!!

In the early 90s I used to know of a Pengelly photographer who used to work out of a studio in Cornwall....A lot of his work was B&W and included warriors with swords - I was wondering if you were connected ? Cheers, and yes "Fine Art" is a phrase over use nowadays....

What a beautiful shot (6 stops, that I prefer but not by a large margin). I like more hint of the pole seen in 6 stops and bit more details in foreground (that is not a deal breaker). Bigger is not always better (think of Henri Cartier-Bresson with 35mm). Years back I tried digital with long exposure times to get photos of places that are never empty to look empty. I should revisit that idea with film and reciprocity. I think no technique makes it fine art or even art. It is about how you do it. I'd not call my window frames fine art (paintbrush work :) but I could call some other brush works.

Of all the images I liked the 6 stopper images the best. They seemed to me to have more detail and better contrast. As for fine art I've always thought it had more to do with the actual print than the image itself. The paper, the matting and framing for me at least is what makes it a fine art image. Of course to paraphrase Ansel Adams there is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy idea so what do I know about fine art and what makes it fine art

Not a lot to choose between the two. The ND1000 just edging it because of the brighter highlights but I’m sure the first could be tweaked too. Out of interest how are you digitising your negatives?

Nice, Lee. Good work 👊🏻

Well done Lee, really liked your local area , I envy you for the beautiful countryside you have, looking forward to your upcoming videos. I liked all your pics. Cheers, Sorin.

Thats my name I am velvia millet

nice photos like the 6x17 format.

wow love that shots...i get some shots of rain forest in my country using 8mp camera but that shots are not sharp like yours ...wish i had a camera like this....❤

very blurry, this is not typical for a camera from which the anti-alice filter was removed. At 850 it’s very interesting to shoot clouds from below above some objects, it seems that they are almost on the ground. processing - your camera or raw converter does not have enough color temperature range, it does not understand what it sees at all. Try shooting raw and converting through RPP, he doesn’t use such a concept as temperature, the color will be ready right out of the box.

I've been shooting on a FS D800e for a couple years, and I've worked through the hot-spot, over exposure and live-view issues, but I still can't get a lens that's sharp across the field of view. I can get it tack sharp in the center and it falls apart about an 1/8-quarter of the from the edge. I can't find any discussions about focusing across the field at different wavelengths, but it seems logical that it's similar to hot-spots.

Another nice video Lee. A word of warning about travelling with film - I am assuming you will be flying from Bristol when you go to France? Anyway they have the new CT scanners that aren’t good for film and unless you get a ‘hand check’ the scanner will fog your film. I left my film at home because of this when I recently travelled to Italy.

The lane shots work so well. How many of us ignore the photo opportunities on our own doorstep great video.

I would be using colour filters for the black and white. I used to use TMAX films, they have been reformulated since then. Any lens vignetting, I think, can be removed in LrC and Ps using radial masks. Ps now have presets, they comprise a selection of adjustment layers so you can probably use separate presets for each focal length. Try XP2-400. It's C41 film, so it goes in with your colour film. I think it can be rated at ISO 50 and processed as slide film, pushed two stops. Why would you not develop the film yourself? You get to choose the developer and processing regime.

Hi Lee, I assume the image is the same on the ground glass as it is for 4x5? Is this correct?

Mono and color both work well. Difficult to choose if one is clearly better. They are clearly very different.

Great video and photos Lee! 👍

I enjoy your videos always, thank you Lee

Another great video Lee,my favourite one is the pier,keep up the great videos very enjoyable content.

Thank you very much for the trip along the shore. I enjoy the second photo. I hope You will do soon a new video.

I like the bus stop even if it feels a bit buzy. The huts has too much noninteresting stuff on left side in my opinion too. Especially when the right side has a lot of stuff it seems too empty. I'm not sure if 6x9 crop would be that much better unless something else changes.

Some lovely images, the final one was my favourite but it’s a tough call. Have you tried a Variable IR filter? I use one that covers 550-750nm and it’s the one I leave on the camera most of the time. My 850nm rarely gets used! Like you I use a Chroma 617 for a lot of my film photography and a full-spectrum converted mirrorless (Fuji X-T1) so your channel is a regular watch in my house! All the best

I just subbed to your channel . I normally shoot film but I do have a older camera I will probably be doing a full spectrum mod on.. So just came across your channel :).. But we know by removing the filter from in front of the sensor this opens up the entire spectrum. The interesting thing I wonder is beings film companies do this same kinda thing with there color layers when creating color shift films ... I wonder if someone could get really creative and get results like this from standard color film by using a combination of filters? We as consumers can not remove or change the layers of the film so I wonder if the correct types of filters would at least remove different parts of the color spectrum and give the same effect? Have you ever tried this?

Like the first color image the most and the ivy covered angel was wonderful

Loved the 590 nm pictures thanks for the vid

590 photos are so nice in colors. Loved the trees! I find 850 often too strong and quite often prefer 720 to it.
