Ahhh welcome mate good luck with the lube it's interesting for sure especially if you have good light on the subject I reckon your fp4 will produce some good results.

Not live mate shot it yesterday just uploaded it's 2330 hours ere now mate

@@paultaylorphotography9499 Sorry when I clicked it , it said it was live ??

Haha all good mate a night time ride would be interesting​@@tommypaterson

Nice MTB trail. Glad to see you wearing a crash helmet, as you know I crashed my bike recently and the helmet saved me from serious injury. I was about to comment that you should lay down on the ground and get a shot of the tree canopies, but hey you did that, it's the shot I like the most. Here in Scotland we're just approaching winter, you'll be the opposite and just approaching summer now.

​@@scottishcontentcreatorshey cheers for watching mate yeah agreed regarding helmets never ever used one as a young fella but about 4 years ago I rode a coastal pathway took the helmet off the whole way then the last few miles was on the road for some reason I stopped to put on the helmet a few hundred meters later I fell off smashing the helmet on the kirb without that helmet I'd have been in the shyte someone was looking out for me that day. Yeah late spring ere getting hot now 30s forecast for next week hope winter isn't too brutal for y'all mate.

Cheer's mate cracking location you should come back haha

Sounds good mate thanks for advice and taking a look

@@tommypaterson cheers mate yeah I've done long exposure before with an IR filter on the lens very nice results not tried on the modified camera yet tho

@@scottishcontentcreators to be honest I haven't a clue I can't see why it wouldn't work so long as there are no light leaks around the filter. Probably try a dirt cheap filter to see how it goes

Before I started to use cameras modified for only IR, I used IR filters on the front of regular DSLR's, so long as you use a tripod and long exposure's it is very doable.

@tommypaterson Thanks, I'm looking at the filters and they're not expensive so I am going to give it a try. The advice is appreciated.

@scottishcontentcreators awesome mate I'll tune in see how ya get on

Ive never tried mate but sounds like a great challenge haha

Every year there is only one day in the calendar when all the stars are all in alignment and that shot is definitely possible on a cloudless day and thats April 1st.

@@stevenwhite921 exactly ya just had to work with what ya got.

Cheers mate appreciate it

Cheers Kate appreciate it. Shearing is always good to shoot soooo much easier that actual shearing haha.

Thriving mate without doubt.

Hey cheers mate really appreciate you having a look and giving feedback thanks

Hey cheers for watching and commenting mate

Awesome info as always thanks Randall 💯

Haha yeah I'd not heard that term since I was a kid I remember all guitar players had them

Cheers mate yeah those straps we used to wear similar things called snake belts the strap reminds me of them. The film issue that all I can think that the film was advanced too far without it stopping at next frame and it took me a lot of head scratching to come up with that theory. Appreciate the comments mate cheers

Hi Paul, fun stuff as always. Some of those old TLR's are very prone to lens flare. If the one you're using here is a keeper maybe pick up one of those 3D printed hoods for the taking lens? I picked up one for an old Rolleicord I use occasionally and it makes a big difference, plus they're very cheap, usually around $15 or so?

@@thewildgoose7467 awesome info about the lens hood mate I'll search one out cheers. It's a good wee camera for me it's the angle of view that I enjoy looking through the WLF gives a whole new perspective. I have a couple of Rollei on watchlist on a local site a cord and a flex both in great condition and serviced both with flare hoods......but I'm trying to stop buying kit haha it's a hard habit to try break but if I get this one last camera I'll be fine because I can can stop anytime I want...mine is a minor painless addiction I can't imagine how folk with serious addictions cope.

@@paultaylorphotography9499 cool 😎🍻

@@paultaylorphotography9499 Ha ha, I know the feeling well I had way, way, WAY too much camera gear, if I told you how much it'd make your head spin 😵‍💫. Over the last couple of years I've gotten rid of a large portion and now it's much more manageable. I converted what I sold into a little gold and silver which is something I think everyone should have a bit of the way things are heading?

It's a good choice mate sadly mine was never returned I can only assume the seller passed away 😔

@@paultaylorphotography9499 sad state of affairs I say. I hope for the best and think it's still possible for you to find a camera in a condition not far from a perfect one.

@@Nadtochy True mate I really enjoyed the zorki and was hoping for the repair but for whatever reason it's gone. I will keep looking for a good copy for sure do you have samples of your work with your zorki online

@@paultaylorphotography9499 yes, on Flickr type in a search box nadtochy

@@paultaylorphotography9499 yes on F lickr type nadtochy

Hey mate thanks for taking a look. Yeah I'm getting used to the focus now. Good luck with your L3 and totally agree it's a fun camera and the elmar is soooo good

Cheers mate thanks for checking it out such a good song.

Cheers mate yeah we get some good light and colour here and the lens did a fine job.

Cheers Maria you made the shoot easy and fun and the song is absolutely amazing.

Cheers mate yeah she's incredible thanks for taking a look 📷

Crazy skills aye

Hey Roger thanks so much for the feedback and support mate really do appreciate it. I hope one day you'll get one of these awesome cameras. Or maybe grab an old 6x6 folder they're far cheaper and more readily available that the bronicas and seriously produce awesome results. All the best mate regards Paul

@@paultaylorphotography9499 My dear Paul. Thank you for writing back. It means a lot to me. I may be saving nickels and dimes. But, I will get my dream camera and take those pictures. Take care Paul. We are kindreds in the art would. Yea!!!

@@RogerMunoz-ci7it hey mate Soo welcome always happy to help out wherever possible that's the thing I love about KZbin you get to share your passion with folk from all around the world. I wish you luck with that camera mate you'll get there without doubt. All the best mate

@@paultaylorphotography9499 Paul, I hope and pray that in my life's journey. I will meet more gentlemen such as yourself. Thank you.

@@RogerMunoz-ci7it likewise mate some good folk out there a few dodgy ones too but they're just folk at end of the day.

Yeah mate I do love heavy contract but HP5 is awesome never tried kentmere tho

@@paultaylorphotography9499 kentmere 400 is so indiscernible from hp5.. love both'm..as well as delta 125..Kentmere 100 is more contrasty though and I guess you will love it .. give it a try

@@joshmcdzz6925 I'll go shopping mate cheers.

The filter is an awesome choice you get the IR look and keep the og camera in tact. You don't even need a cable release you can use the self timer. I always shoot RAW for IR but on other subjects I'll flip between raw and jpgs as suits. You're gonna love IR it's incredible and addictive. Thanks for taking a look I really appreciate the feedback back

@paultaylorphotography9499 I've been absent from photography for many years. So coming back into it. You never, ever stop learning. I have xpro2 w a 50mm lens..I believe it's a 46mm..so found one, will get from Amazon and try on days off. Live In the US/Indiana and was thinking trying on some of the covered bridges in the area. Thanks for the follow up tip in shooting in RAW vs Jpeg. What kinda figured:)

Cheers mate I appreciate it I'm buzzing for the 12th hope this song gets the recognition it deserves. Thanks for taking a look mate

@@paultaylorphotography9499 Good luck 🤞

@@jdstrobist thanks mate

Hey thanks mate yeah this is a special place for sure. The Minolta 9 is awesome I love it. Funnily enough I had a Nikon d300 for a wee while but rarely used it so sold it on I do recall it being a very capable camera. The F4 is a solid camera love it. Thanks for having a look mate appreciate the support 😊

Totally agree mate more options is a great way of putting it thanks for taking a look hope you enjoy the finished product.

Wow mate that's awesome glad you checked it out and found your old mate. Check the final video on the 12th and enjoy Costa Rica mate cheers for having a look 📸❤️

Cheers mate I'm pretty pleased with them just ya know conditions permitting they coulda been soooo much better. .life of a photographer aye never happy 📷

@@paultaylorphotography9499 yep always critical, will be asking to be able to control the weather next 🤣

@@mattwhitehall9536 haha some would say there are folk already doing that 👀

@@paultaylorphotography9499 yeah the umbrella companies I think with what we’ve been having.

@@mattwhitehall9536 deffo mate

Hey thanks mate appreciate it 📸❤️

Hey mate yeah I have a 2x and a 1.4 for the canon the 2x Ive not used for years not even sure where it is the 1.4 is definitely better even though I don't use it a lot either they were both basically there for emergency use at the paper if I was at an incident where I needed but was unable to get close enough. I found image quality from the 1.4 to be very good but the 2x in my experience was ok but definitely lost sharpness then again at such distances I was shooting with converters on the 500mm f4 heat haze and glare off the ocean didn't help. For shots like the one in this video converters would have been a good choice. You also lose a couple of stops of light so on the f4 lens the 2x converter becomes f8 etc Hope that ramble helps.

Thanks mate ☺️📷

Cheers mate there was a fella there shooting with his phone they looked bloody awesome.

Hey Craig what a place to live I've never got that far....yet haha my mate was there a good few years ago loved it. Yeah the canon P looks awesome canon made stunning cameras they still do. Hope ya set up that darkroom mate great fun wish I'd never got rid of my durst then again not much space in the van haha. Hope to catch up one day mate thanks for checking in 📷

Mate that's incredible so pleased it's given you a buzz for that camera it will become a wee obsession. For landscapes try Kodak ektar for people Portrait is awesome black and white HP5 takes some beating thanks for the compliment mate love it cheers

Cheers mate appreciate it definitely gonna do a BnW v IR shoot great idea mate love it just need the sun to come back rain today haha

Haha hey mate so true I did 20 years in newspapers still shooting events and sport now height of day have to make best of it so flash is always good for harsh midday light. Loving infrared so many possibilities with it. Thanks for taking. A look mate

That's actually a bloody great idea 😂 next episode sorted cheers 📸

Strange things mate RIP Kīngi Tuheitia 😢😢
