Dartmoor, First Light | Medium Format Film Photography.

#filmphotography #BronicaSQA #Dartmoor
First light on Dartmoor is something special and although the location in this video has been visited many times before I couldn't resist another one. A 3.30am alarm call caught up with me in the end but the light and images captured during my time here made up for that.

Watching this made me realised I should shoot colour more often. I've just popped a few rolls of precious Fuji Pro 400H in my bag for a trip to Derbyshire this weekend, along with Delta 400. I'm going with my wife and the dogs so will be shooting hand-held much of the time so need 400. Tanks for the great video, lovely results.

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

Thanks Rupert, only just seen this. Hope the shoot went well.

Great video.

Thanks Matt I appreciate that.

[@JonnyEnglish-gu1cs]

Just got my SQ-A so looking forward to the early mornings with I have plenty of Ektar and a fridge full of other films colour and B&W beautiful images Lee I hope I can produce something half as good as yours I be happy

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

Excellent choice, if you need any tips with it just let me know.

[@justinforpin2103]

Very nice video!

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

Thanks Justin much appreciated 😊

[@dasp125]

I tend to expose for the shadows and develop for the highlights when shooting b&w film and use colour filters as they work great for landscape photography on Dartmoor. Ektar 100 can handle high contrast scenes, no need for grads with either film stock; Velvia on the other hand… keep up the great work. I will say hi if I see you on my Dartmoor travels.

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

Thanks Mike. Yeah please say hello if you see me.

[@SimonBurnCreative]

Can't resist a Dartmoor video. I remember those medium format film days, you took me back in time in a fantastic location, great job mate!

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

Thankyou Simon. I like going against the tide 😉 Glad you enjoyed it and hope you’re keeping well

[@AlejandroGonzalez-AGS]

Another great video Lee...very nice pictures and compositions. I agree with the last picture in B&W to be the best, but all of them are good of course. I prefer the 50mm lens for these compositions especially the tree at the end. I saw (video beginning ) a glimpse of your new “RV Conversion”... it appears you are putting it to test...congrats! When you get a chance a video would be great. BTW, I’m looking for an RV also in the near future! Cheers...

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

Thanks Alejandro. I do like that tree although the first shot in BW was my favourite. That tree at the end did have better sky though. 50mm is great, not too wide but still get that ‘walk in’ effect. There is a video somewhere of the first stages I did. It’s nearing completion now at last !, so maybe an update video soon

[@Topsyrm]

Loving this Bronica stuff Lee.

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

Thanks, I’m really loving the Bronica and square format

[@1911geek]

First tree was a bit busy for me it into the background unless dodging is applied.thank you for the video great work sir enjoy

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

Thankyou glad you liked it and thanks for watching. Also duly noted on the first image 😉

@@LeePengellyPhotography first tree 🌲 admire your dedication, my heart and legs can't carry me like my younger years. Good health to you sir go places and ride on

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

@@1911geek Thankyou I appreciate that. Although I turned 50 last year and the knees and back aren’t what they used to be but always grateful I can get out and do this. Lost a close friend last year to cancer and seeing him suffer was hard, made me realise that life has to be lived

[@1911geek]

@@LeePengellyPhotography it's my second chance at this thing call life I survived a heart arrest anesthesia induced. I no longer have the health from 3-4 years back. I recently pick up the camera after a long departure of 12 years ago. Therapy of sort

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

@@1911geek It is good therapy for the body and the mind. You can get absorbed in a good way. Wishing you better health and happiness

[@CornishMotorcycleDiaries]

It's funny, because when I watch other landscape vloggers, its a case of; 'I wonder where that was taken' But in your case Lee, it's more like; 'I know where he stood to take that image' Good work. Considering adding a 6x6 to the Intrepid now myself.

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

Yes it is a popular spot !. The 6x6 format is so good for composition well worth adding it, saying that there are 6x6 Horseman backs that fit the intrepid

[@bendroege]

Exactly what I was looking for. Been trying to find Dartmoor on film for a while now. Such a nice place, was there last year for the day. Great video Lee, keen to see more

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

Thanks Ben. It’s a great place. Loads more to come 👍

[@Topsyrm]

You're on my doorstep there Lee but you have visited locations I have yet to go to. Stark reminder that I must get out more. Great shots BTW.

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

Funny, I have lived in Devon all my life and still find sometimes I’m only scratching the surface of its potential

[@oldfilmguy9413]

Beautiful images all around, hard to choose with the first couple whether color or b/w is best, but that last tree shot is incredible in black and white - it is exactly that for which black and white film was made!! Looking forward to checking out your 6x6 web site!! Cheers!

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

Ah Thankyou for your comment really appreciated 😊

[@taxicabish]

hi lee following you for a while, nice to see 6x6 film vids more please,i thought your work on van amazing

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

robert linale Thanks Robert, lots more to follow 👍 Working on van worktop as I type !!

[@rjphotos]

I stopped using grads for colour neg since it's virtually impossible to blow the highlights. Transparency is a different story though! Smart website, some lovely images on there Lee. 👍

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

Thanks Russell glad you like it 😊 I’m finding Ektar quite tricky at times, still in the Velvia mindset and agree I think the grads are a little too strong sometimes

[@DivorcedFL]

Awesome images mate 👏👏

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

Cheers Dave 😉

[@montycraig5659]

Hi Lee, I have no axe to grind here, but I am just now in the market for a 6x6 camera, and I have looked for months to find a Hasselblad in my price range. Not to be, But... I stumbled upon a video recently about the Bronica SQa, and started looking at images on 500px. Is it just me, or do the images out of this camera, look better than the images out of the Hassy? They seem sharper, more contrasty, and overall very pleasing. I am looking for input from working

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

I was the same when looking at 6x6cm and finally decided on the Bronica as I used to own a ETRS many years ago and knew they were simply designed, cheaper yet produced good images. The lenses are very sharp and combined with a slow grain film it produces brilliant results. In terms of comparison I don’t think there’s much difference between them although I’m guessing the blad has better quality lenses.

[@tompaste387]

fimsquared website expired !

[@LeePengellyPhotography]

Yes, long story Tom but square space just didn’t cut it for me. I’m using my main website now and in the midst of setting up a page for my film work on there.
