A day shooting Ilford Delta 3200.

[@crystal-pupa]

wow your graveyard shot! stunning... thank you for sharing your work

[@connor6461]

I clicked on this video and didn’t expect to see Cornwall or hayle! I came to see what 3200 looked like. Some knowledge and home sickness!

[@tomwhelan]

It’s such a beautiful place I always find it hard when I’m away, hopefully you get to come back regularly. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@pumper325]

those later images of the buildings by the seaside, man, 3200, the great light and the red filter - that is a killer combo, plus obviously great compositions. Fantastic work. Thank you.

[@lensman5762]

Grain the size of a golf ball, but still beautiful nonetheless. The surreal tonality of the Delta 3200 makes all the difference. Amazing images.

[@tomwhelan]

Thanks very much I love the grain from Delta 3200 it gives so much atmosphere.

[@acecreates]

Haha isn't the grain massive! I think it actually adds to the photo though, especially the moody captures

[@stereojam77]

Great video again Tom. I especially like the one you mention reminded you of a painting and also the graveyard shot. Delta 3200 has a great look. Thank you for sharing your work.

[@tomwhelan]

Thanks again I’m really happy you enjoyed the video and liked the images it’s really appreciated 👍

[@andersblomster]

Some of the best results I’ve seen from this film stock.

[@tomwhelan]

Thank you 🙏

[@thomaspopple2291]

Recently discovered your channel. Really enjoying it. Digging your photography. Thank you.

[@tomwhelan]

Thanks very much Thomas I’m really glad your enjoying it 👍

[@russelcapatoy2965]

Beautiful photos.

[@tomwhelan]

Thank you 🙏

[@petermaddern6653]

Like the images in the sandunes Tom but they were all good. Love wandering around Sennen Beach and harbour with a camera. Thanks for another great video.

[@tomwhelan]

Thanks Peter I always really enjoy Sennen it’s such a great location to photograph and to chill out.

[@petermaddern6653]

@@tomwhelan Had just got back from Kenidjack Valley when I watched your video. Have you done any photography there? Would have thought it would suit Delta 300 with all the old workings and bits of machinery and Cape Cornwall in the background.

[@tomwhelan]

@@petermaddern6653 it’s been a long time since I’ve been down there it’s a very beautiful location with the stream looking out to The Cape. I will have to get down there sometime. I hope you got some lovely images I will check your website to see if any make it there, great images by the way. Many thanks Tom.

[@petermaddern6653]

Visited the dunes at Sennen today. Have mentioned your video on my website and given a link.

[@tomwhelan]

@@petermaddern6653 thanks for the mention Peter they came out really well, it’s lovely to see them in colour 👍

[@FM-qd8zd]

You are an absolute legend Tom; your work is top notch!

[@tomwhelan]

Wow thanks very much 🙏

[@Leicashootr]

Hi Tom, great images and I appreciate you effort mate‼️👍🏻 like the 9.45 time stamp image,👍🏻 well done 👍🏻

[@tomwhelan]

Thank you 🙏

[@ivaa7777JAWA]

Great video

[@Larpy1933]

Thanks for this! Seeing you work and your results is inspiring me.

[@tomwhelan]

Thanks very much 🙏

[@katebr1737]

Hi Tom, loved the images, especially the late afternoon ones with the grasses, but they were all beautifully atmospheric. I really enjoy your style of video and your enthusiasm. I’ve not tried this film yet though I do have a roll in the fridge waiting for me to give it a go, just wish I had somewhere as beautiful to photograph!

[@tomwhelan]

Thank you Kate it was really beautiful in the afternoon, you should definitely get out with the film it’s great fun to shoot. Good luck.

[@32ndFoto]

Great photos Tom Whelan.🔥

[@tomwhelan]

Thank you 🙏

[@BehindThePhoto]

I really enjoyed this video and the shots. Well done.

[@tomwhelan]

Thanks very much 🙏

[@Sidchasingclassiccars]

I was going to mention John Piper in one of your other videos Tom. We were only looking at his paintings just yesterday in a PZ gallery. Some ace shots there, thanks for sharing and inspiring. 👍

[@tomwhelan]

Thanks mate I’m really happy you enjoying the videos. Lovely paintings but a bit out of my price range 😊

[@Sidchasingclassiccars]

@@tomwhelan Yes Pipers paintings are pricey. I also paint and can only dream of commanding such prices. 😀

[@mamiyapress]

Nice dramatic images .Coincidentally I just watched a video about Ilford Delta 3200 before yours and the test results of the film came out at 800 asa, your thoughts please.

[@tomwhelan]

Thanks very much I believe it’s true speed is 1000 iso I shoot it a lot at 1600 and develop at 3200 which works really well. It’s great at box speed too. It’s such a versatile film I would experiment and see what you like best. I have also had great results when shooting at 1600 and developing at 1600. All the best Tom.

[@tonyhayes9827]

Wow man, great photography. I am and want to continue to be a 3200 shooter because I like the look. It's different from digital. You seem to have the knack with it, which I do not yet, but I will pursue it. Thanks for this video

[@tomwhelan]

Thanks Tony it’s a beautiful film I hope you get some great shots with it 👍

[@DavidWilliams7037A]

Great images as usual, Tom. The film grain made the shots, I feel.

[@tomwhelan]

Thanks David 🙏

[@lucyrogers5644]

Fab shots!

[@tomwhelan]

Thanks Lucy

[@22fret]

A tad too grainy for my taste, but absolutely stunning pictures indeed. I somehow see this film in available light portrait photography. Old fishermen or farmers, the old lady from the grocery store, etc.

[@tomwhelan]

Thanks very much, it’s excellent for portrait work I’ve used it a few times and been very happy with the results. All the best Tom 🙏

[@helgividar]

Hi Tom, i bought two rolls of Delta 3200 yesterday and now I’m watching sample photos and thinking through how I will use them. I have seen some sample photos of the same subject shot at different iso and my conclusion is that iso 1600 is the normal look for this film. The photos in this video are dark and dramatic and very nice so I assume that you calculated the exposure from the box speed. I think this setting will be appropriate for night photos which I am planning to make.

[@tomwhelan]

Hi Helgi that’s a great choice, I love Delta 3200 it’s such a versatile film. I have had great success shooting it from 1000 to 3200 and developing at box speed. I do always add a little bit extra development time as I find the negatives can be a little flat at recommended times. Have fun I look forward to the results.

[@nickwinn7812]

Ok, by now you've shot your images and either they worked for you or not This film is spot on and will give stunning results at the rated ISO. No information was gvien in this video about how the film exposed or developed. Look at the Ilford data sheets to get definitive answers rathewr than yuotubers who give no useful information

[@grahamhutton3129]

Hi Tom. Great video again on the Cornish Coast with your film camera. With Delta 3200, do you rate it at 3200, or 1600 and develop it at normal 3200? A lot of people say shoot it at 1000 or 1600 but develop it normally. Graham.

[@tomwhelan]

Hi Graham thank you for the comments.I shot it at box speed this time but I do regularly shoot at 1600 and get fantastic results, it’s a very versatile film great for experimenting with. Thanks again Tom.

[@tomwhelan]

Hi Graham you definitely can shoot it at 1600 and develop at 3200 I’ve done this and got excellent results. I’ve heard it’s true speed is 1000 iso which could be true.

[@le_cornu]

Thank you Tom for another great video and wonderful photos ... apologies if you've previously said, do you scan your negatives at all and by what method I'm only using 35mm Ilford XP2 Super and having the films developed only so experimenting with the scanning side.... keep up the great work and look forward to your next outing 👍

[@tomwhelan]

Thanks very much Lee I currently scan my negatives on an Epsom Flatbed scanner which is good enough for web and printing up to about A3 from a 6x7 negative. If I want to go bigger I get them drum scanned at a pro lab and can then print very large. Thanks again Tom.

[@le_cornu]

@@tomwhelan great, thanks Tom

[@joerobbins9120]

hi new subscriber, question, where do you live?, never have seen palm trees iknm england??

[@tomwhelan]

Hi Joe I live in West Cornwall it’s very mild here, frosts are really rare and we get a great selection of sub tropical plants and palm trees. Many thanks Tom.

[@Answersonapostcard]

Great images, love that grain.. Incidentally some of my self-dev 400 b&w photos came out with a similar amount of grain due to the development process. I am not familiar with the Mamiya.. did you set the ISO in camera or does it not have a light meter?

[@tomwhelan]

Hi thanks very much if I use the chimney that has a light meter in it, otherwise I would use a spot meter. I find some 400 speed films can get very grainy sometimes particularly if using Rodinal which is my go to developer. Many thanks Tom.

[@acecreates]

Bravo Tom. May I ask why you went with Delta 3200? I love the grain and adore the compositions- just seems a little overkill on the iso? More an observation and question - absolutely not a criticism. I've thought about using delta 3200 too, I love that grain. Cheera again mate- splendid video!

[@tomwhelan]

Hey Pete it was just literally a case of the only film I had and thought why not. I wouldn’t usually shoot delta 3200 in the sun like that but surprised some of them came out really well. Thanks again Pete 👍

[@acecreates]

@@tomwhelan haha I thought that might have been the case - you got it cheap or it was something new to try. Either way it was a great result!

[@tomwhelan]

@@acecreates yeah got a pack of 20 for £80 so there might be a few more delta 3200 videos in the pipeline 🤣

[@acecreates]

@@tomwhelan can't wait!

[@doit2720]

Look at 3:44. What is some kind of parasitic vertical exposure in the right part of the image? I had the same time to time at that part of the frame.
