Landscape Film Photography - 35mm at Heswall moorings

[@ArguelloFlores]

Steve, it is not easy to find interesting subjects, but it looks simple in your video, just getting a good composition makes the subject... a subject! Thank you for sharing.

[@rickhauser9698]

Great 👍 job Steve. Love ❤️ your music and all your videos.

[@SteveONions]

Thanks Rick.

[@ChrisEdgecombePhoto]

Great location with some amazing photos.

[@SteveONions]

I will have another vlog from the same location soon Chris but with a camera that is altogether different.

[@wendyparry437]

great location steve.this has inspired me to visit Heswall beach.i only live 10 miles away from here but have never been here.keep up the good work steve.

[@SteveONions]

Thanks Wendy, I’m waiting for some dull weather to go back and shoot the boats in black and white.

[@ekredel]

what a refreshing video. and such nice images. damn, now I have to binge your whole channel :)

[@SteveONions]

Glad you liked it Kresimir.

[@johnembry4573]

Great video. Love the boats and textures. Makes me want to get out my 35MM Pentax and take some shots somewhere.

[@SteveONions]

Thanks John

[@Joshbaldophotography]

Steve, looks like a great location there. I love watching your videos and appreciate the effort.

[@SteveONions]

Thank you.

[@tonyhansom3160]

A really interesting video Steve and some great shots, I was thinking about the old boats and some of the memories they must have, if only they could tell. It would be a great location on a warm summers day. Thank you for sharing.

[@SteveONions]

Thanks Tony. It really is lovely on a summers day and only a couple of minutes from the car. I’ve spent a couple of full days there in the past and everything changes when the tide comes in.

[@marieta.s]

I did enjoy the change in the scenery. It keeps things interesting.

[@SteveONions]

Thanks Marieta.

[@denizyilmaz8553]

Great location! would love to see black and white big format here :)

[@SteveONions]

Funnily enough I keep waiting for the right conditions to visit with the 8x10 and HP5+

[@denizyilmaz8553]

@@SteveONions wonderfull :) would be great to watch

[@brianrussell9454]

Another great video Steve, brings back memories of 75 years ago when Heswall was a port for shrimp fishing. The tide came right up to wall every day. I was an evacuee to Parkgate in 1943 a little way upstream. It was then also a shrimp port which was hardly operating due to the rapid silting up of the estuary. Incidentally Steve, Parkgate is a fine location for photographers, excellent for bird watchers and with some fine B&W buildings. If you haven't already been there it may suit your style.

[@SteveONions]

Thanks Brian, I would have loved to see the place all those years ago. I’ve driven through Parkgate a few times but never tried to photography it, I’ve made a note to go there this year.

[@gregkent3748]

Enjoyed it.. and I subscribed! Thanks for sharing

[@SteveONions]

Thanks Greg.

[@DonKittle]

Brilliant, Steve, love both the Portra and B&W! Coming back when the mud is dry and cracked would be really cool - looking forward to the return visit.

[@SteveONions]

Thanks Don, a good hot day is all I need ( that might be a bit of an ask in England though 🙂)

[@buc71x24]

Great images,enjoyed!

[@JohnFoxphotography]

been down there many a time, a friend of mine had a yacht there, his moorings was on the flats used to hate wading out to it, but always enjoyed a pint in Sheldrakes afterwards. nice work Steve.

[@SteveONions]

Thanks John, it is a real mess but worth shooting.

[@tommorgan3125]

Beautiful images as usual. Very enjoyable to watch.

[@SteveONions]

Thanks Tom.

[@garypentecost833]

Great location Steve really good abstracts

[@SteveONions]

Thanks Gary.

[@SpencerPullenPhotography]

What an amazing place! Love it! Great photography too, keep up the great work!

[@brianmccutcheon3205]

The ghosts of yesterday, still speak. Well done

[@timscanlanphotography]

Hi Steve. Really enjoyed this video. It looks a great location for golden hour low water shots. Might give this a look next time I'm back home visiting Chester. Thanks for sharing.

[@SteveONions]

It's very good Tim, I had some great light there a few years back.

[@BillMcCarroll]

Great location Steve, definitely worth going back with medium and/or large format

[@vcorn9544]

DIDO.

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

Nice one again Steve. I have just been to new Brighton this weekend and commented on you in my vlog. I’ll put a link in as well as you was my inspiration. I was also where you are a couple months back so I’ll be going back there again just as you have opened my eyes on that place as well and see some images I would like to try. Thanks again great images and ideas.

[@SteveONions]

Thanks Paul, there’s so much to shoot on the Wirral coast, I must do more there.

[@pauldisley2140]

HI Steve. I was there mid last year. Forgot the wellies and something to put the camera bag on. So still finding mud! Great vid as well. Cheers Diz

[@SteveONions]

It’s certainly muddy and one trip with an incoming tide I twice fell into waist deep water due to hidden gulleys filling up.

[@JamesBrewphoto]

What an interesting location - would love to visit here. Great video Steve

[@SteveONions]

Thanks James, old boats are becoming an endangered species so shoot them while you can.

[@markharris5771]

Brilliant video Steve with some great images, one or two of those boats looked like do uppers. It looks an amazing place, but I think it’s one I’ll have to give a miss as I can’t see my scooter faring well in the mud. I really liked the music in this one, it seemed perfectly suited.

[@SteveONions]

It’s easy access Mark, just 2 minutes from the free car park and there a restaurant at the top of the beach!

[@markharris5771]

Steve O'Nions Thank you so much for that information Steve, you’ve no idea how much things like that mean and I will certainly pay a visit soon. Off to the RSPB on the Solway tomorrow with my 7DII , but might go there next week.

[@RobinWhalley]

I have been waiting for you to release this video since you said you had filmed it. I really like the location and you captured some great shots. I don't think you do enough 35mm work.

[@SteveONions]

It worked well for use a few years ago, we should do it again. I’ll be using 35mm a lot more this year especially as I can work with longer focal lengths than medium or large format.

[@josecolon8143]

Spectacular bravo!!!

[@SteveONions]

Thanks Julio.

[@jeffpettittphotography576]

Really enjoyed this video. Yes, please go back in the summer with the big guns! And, lots of insect repellent! 😂

[@SteveONions]

I will Jeff. I want to retake the first image with the large format camera. I think it will work well in colour too.

[@josebainakielorriagaarriet2066]

I loved the video(i ve watched twice in a row) The site is a vein to take pictures, and the bw has been very good. You could illustrate us sometimes as you reveal the images in bw?, scan the negatives and then photoshop?, some special technique ?. I personally get bored with video editing tutorials but a few small notes ....

[@SteveONions]

I’ll try and put in a little more processing info in future Joseba.

[@FreezerKing]

That was some pretty good mud. Very nice shots of some very good boats, too. How did all those boats get there, anyways? Is that just the agreed-upon place to leave your boat when it is time for it to retire?

[@SteveONions]

Most have been sat there for years steadily decaying. One of the ones I shot used to be in full working order then it got badly damaged in a storm 5 years ago and has now joined its friends.

[@derekcoe9633]

i was there a cpl of weeks ago, if you find my driving glasses let me know, lost them in the marsh :D

[@SteveONions]

You'll never see them again Derek, I nearly disappeared into the mud once.

[@skipandjump]

Ah this is great Steve, my stomping ground too. Love these boats, your film work is super inspiring to get out and do more. Have you checked out the new darkroom opened up in West Kirby? Google Lightbox Darkroom :)
