A sunrise and Moonrise film shoot | Ilford Delta 3200 | Ilford FP4 | Ilford HP5

A day of film photography with my Mamiya RZ67 and some Ilford film. A sunrise at Sennen Cove and a Moonrise in the evening. A really beautiful day in West Cornwall.

Thanks Rob 🙏

Brilliant Tom. I was down at Sennen on Sunday morning. Never thought about going there for sunrise usually there for sunset. Love the moon over Escalls Chapel. See you got a mention from New Zealand. Well done.

[@tomwhelan]

Thanks very much Peter I had a great day, yes surprisingly Sennen can be a great morning location even though it’s on the West coast. I love Paul’s channel and was really surprised to see myself on there when I watched his latest video. Many thanks Tom 🙏

The first few moonrise images were lovely. Using the red filter was perfect to give that nice contrast.

[@tomwhelan]

Thanks Wendy I’m really happy with them 👍

[@jakewalterphotography789]

I love black and white photography. It seems so simple but it's very complex. Wonderful photos and a great video! Just subscribed!

[@tomwhelan]

Cheers Jake it’s such a lovely medium to work with black and white film… I absolutely love it. All the best Tom 👍

[@chasing-the-light1550]

Tom those moonrise shots are gorgeous 👏

[@tomwhelan]

Thank you I’m really pleased how they came out. Delta 3200 is such a beautiful looking film. Many thanks Tom 👍

[@alfredanheier4779]

Excellent job on both locations. Amazing how the inclusion of even a single human changes the whole image. And I especially liked the moon images with a partial cloud over it. Gave it some extra depth, I think.

[@tomwhelan]

Thanks Alfred it was a fantastic day with great conditions. I’m really happy with the results, I think your right the cloud does give it the extra depth. Many thanks Tom 👍

[@acecreates]

Those moonrise shots around 13.11 were AMAZING!! Loved this video. That ilford has a beautiful grain. The red filter made a massive difference too!! You keep taking it to the next level, Tom!

[@tomwhelan]

Wow thanks Pete so happy you enjoyed it mate. I love Delta 3200 I’m looking forward to winter and shooting it a lot more. All the best Tom 🙏

[@AWhimsicalStatue]

Wow those moonrise photos are absolutely stunning. I'd buy a print of the one at 13:06 any day.

[@tomwhelan]

Thank you very much, it’s really appreciated 🙏

Really beautiful photographs. Subtle and appropriate tonality, and great composition. How I wish I had access to such grand places?

[@tomwhelan]

Thanks so much, I’m so grateful I live in such a beautiful place and get the opportunity to photograph it. Many thanks Tom 🙏

Awesome video man! Really enjoyed that one 👌

[@tomwhelan]

That’s great, thanks very much 🙏

[@drezwave]

A pleasure to watch your video. Nice photos. Beautiful locations. Your voice sounds very good. What mic do you use?

[@tomwhelan]

Thanks very much Davide, I didn’t realise how difficult it was going to be get good audio it’s an area I’ve been struggling with. I’m using a Rode wireless go with a lav mic. Many thanks Tom 👍

The Chapel of St. Dennis Wilson

[@tomsavage9822]

Very nice, thanks! I was wondering how you metered the moonrise photos?

[@tomwhelan]

Thanks Tom I metered from the front of the church which was quite bright , i wanted to protect the highlights as much as possible. I wasn’t to bothered about losing the shadow detail.

[@tonyhayes9827]

Great photos especially the ones at 13:18 and 2:45 and 7:38 Shame about the surfboard crucifix on the church though. Looks more like a surfboard than a crucifix and so looks more `planted in this life' than `ethereal,' in keeping with the heavenly body of the moon feel. Just me, I know.

[@tomwhelan]

Thanks Tony I’m glad you liked the images - the people in this area regard surfing as a religion hence the cross. A real cross would fit the images better though I agree. Many thanks Tom 🙏

Man, you had only 2 or 3 photos from the beach in the morning. all other photos are garbage... I'm sorry, but... :) You almost had one photo with a moon, but... You have more to practice, quite more. To have a b/W film doesn't makes you a photographer. ;)

[@tomwhelan]

Hi Petar thanks for the feedback it’s all appreciated, good and bad. I’m sorry you feel this way. Many thanks Tom
