Thank you Debbie 🙏

[@RickMentore]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. 'Twas most endearing with you the little man. You are lucky to be in the most photogenic land on earth, had no idea that such desert like conditions existed in NZ.

[@StephenMilner]

Thanks Rick! It’s a very versatile landscape. I do feel lucky to have my family and to live here.

[@MakersTeleMark]

Thanks for sharing your vacation time. I think this was your best vid yet in many ways. Tempo, personality, and results.

[@StephenMilner]

Makers Telemark thank you for your kind words 🙏

[@arildedvardbasmo490]

Lovely images! It's fun seeing you do some BW - you do it so well. Also fun seeing the 150mm out and about! Longer lenses are neglected in landscape

[@StephenMilner]

Arildhgs thank you and I’m glad you like them.

[@nobraidps]

Liked and subscribed. I'm looking for film to shoot landscapes in B&W. What is your favourite stock?

[@StephenMilner]

Nice and thank you! I like Tri-x 400 and Delta 100.

[@Havenotats]

Stephen! Just came across this video and what a great introduction to your channel this has been! I am dumbfounded by how nice these images look in Black & White and it is making me want to shoot landscapes which I have not done in a long while. I can image these images would turn out quite nice on paper, do you print your images?

[@StephenMilner]

Glad you liked it and welcome to my channel. I do print my own work. I hope your b&w landscape photos turn out great 🙏

[@Havenotats]

@@StephenMilner thank you 😊

[@adamm4926]

Lovely images, great content

[@StephenMilner]

Many thanks!

[@jonathanbaxter4366]

Hello Stephen, nice shots, i use pan f as well. Just one thing was that your tripod wobbling or your phone ? was rather off putting. keep it going.

[@StephenMilner]

Thanks for watching. It was a very windy day and my video tripod is lightweight. The wobble can be caused by stabilisation in FCPX.

[@jonathanbaxter4366]

Hi Stephen, love it, by the way i use pan f between 25 and 64 asa developed in Microphen , I find it great for low light landscapes, it keeps the shadows deep and moody a bit like fuji velvia, keep it going.

[@StephenMilner]

@@jonathanbaxter4366 Thanks for watching man. I'm yet to try developing my own film but I hope to do so sometime soon.

[@ignacioargudoperez875]

Hi Stephen, All lovely images turned out very well in PAN F. I’m looking forward to shoot that film as well. Which L-bracket did you fit to the Mamiya? I have a similar set up but the 150mm. Is it as sharp as the 80mm? I highly recommend the 43mm which Is a Stellar piece of Glas. Thank you for the nice video. Greets from Munich

[@StephenMilner]

Hi, thank you! Both the 150mm and 80mm are very sharp lenses. The 150mm can be tricky to focus wide open. I recently swapped my 7 for a Hasselblad 503cw. If you are interested in the 80mm or 210mm lenses for the 7 I have them for sale.

[@cocochelback56]

love this film great video man!

[@StephenMilner]

Thanks man

[@phylliswaterfield]

You must be on state Highway 10, it's beautiful.

[@StephenMilner]

Thank you! It was SH 1.

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

Fine work Stephen. Love that shot at 7:15 I've not been further north than Davenport yet so deffo need to haul ass. The pan F looks good, I'm still a lover of FP4, HP5 and Tmax 400, love the heavy contrast. I've got an old minolta dynax 9 in storage, looks like she's got some work to do. Thanks for the inspiration mate. Enjoyed this.

[@StephenMilner]

Thanks for watching Paul. I’m looking forward to seeing your film photos.

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

Stephen Milner all good mate great watch cheers. I dug out the old fave Minolta 9 not used it for 30 odd years just got back from a shoot absolutely loved it by time I get film processed and vid edited should be good to go Friday 📷✊️ unless it’s a dog 😆😆

[@StephenMilner]

Glad to hear you liked it. What film did you shoot?

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

Stephen Milner just a bog standard Kodak 400 all they had in shop funnily enough when I dug the camera out it had a roll of Kodak max 400 part used back in the 90s I have no clue what’s on it hope it’s nowt dodgy 😳😆😆

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

Stephen Milner just watch your vid on flat bed v dslr scanning interesting results I did like the colours from the dslr scans better. I’ve still got an old Minolta dimage neg scanner I recall it being painfully slow tho 🙄

[@benjermanbarker3425]

Nothing says adorable like an ice cream covered kid, dady!!

[@gerardgaffrey4306]

Nice watching someone make photos, not just take them

[@jorisrobben1785]

Beautiful landscape pictures dude! I like the calm vibe of the video and I love your gear. I cant wait untill I can affort to buy my own Mamiya 7. One question tho, whats on the back of your camera on the tape? :) Keep doing what your doing. You have me as a new follower for sure.

[@StephenMilner]

Thanks for getting in touch, watching my video and subscribing. On the back of my camera, I have a cheat sheet for reciprocity failure of film.

[@jorisrobben1785]

@@StephenMilner Handy! Hope you and your family stay healthy in these times. Cheers!

[@Brenby]

Stephen, why are you cropping to 6x6 instead of using your Mamiya 6?

[@StephenMilner]

This is an older video. I didn’t have my Mamiya 6 then and the Mamiya 7 is no longer around.

[@phylliswaterfield]

Wow

[@ManofTones]

Very nice video Stephen! Excellent vibes and images. I just want to give a bit of constructive criticism though. You don't need to shoot how you get in your car in 5 different shots man! One or two are more than enough. Just the loading in the back and driving away for example. The focus is on the way you shoot and the images you produce. You don't need the extra bit of effort :). Hope it helps! And you've earned a new subscriber nonetheless :)

[@StephenMilner]

Visualluuks - thanks for watching, the feedback and subscribing. I’m always thinking of how to diversify my content. I’m very open to suggestions. Cheers

[@randallstewart175]

A lot of nice looking images obtained here. However, I would question whether Pan F brings anything useful to the table over faster films like FP-4 or even HP-5, in his setting. He was shooting ISO 50 film, with 2 stops of filter and one more stop of over-exposure. That is an ISO of 6 for most of these shots. Then he is shooting at f 16-22, leaving shutter speeds around 1/4 to ?? seconds. Now mix in the wind, blowing hard enough so that you can watch his camera move back and forth. Presume that the trees and grasses do likewise. Likely, that this film's ability to capture fine detail compared to faster films here was washed away by subject and camera movement. Often, the faster films, shooting at wider (higher resolution) f-stops and much faster shutter speeds will produce the sharper and more detailed image. Finally, flatbed scanning will not resolve the finer details/sharpness Pan F is capable of producing under optimum circumstances. No free lunch in film photography.

[@StephenMilner]

The movement is from the video camera. No movement in the camera tripod.

[@christeraplin543]

0:42 priceless :)

[@StephenMilner]

Christer Aplin that was a funny moment. Eddy is only four and I think he understands what I am doing but probably doesn’t yet know why.

Dear Stephen, congrat :). I see that you used filter - type : www.photo4b.pl/p3707,filtr-polowkowy-szary-haida-nanopro-mc-nd8-nd-0-9-grad-soft-75x100.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwy8f6BRC7ARIsAPIXOjijwejgt0ZtMs6Ap4Lo6P3VN9XZjWyDZLBk6T6VfL6DvOEkuZNq8BMaArPsEALw_wcB the question is: how do you find the proper place in the frame with mamiya 7 ? thank you in advance.

[@StephenMilner]

I put the filter in the holder, I look through it and move the filter to where I think it should be, and then put it on the lens.

[@witoldlorenz3699]

​@@StephenMilner Thank you. :). It is (c.a.) easy with soft filter, ok. What about with hard ? Do you fit it for 100% in the position you expected? Without any marks and so on? thanks :) .

[@StephenMilner]

I use a medium edge filter with great results. Hard edge will be more difficult.

[@witoldlorenz3699]
