Medium Format Film Photography | Ilford Delta 100 - Pinhole Camera

[@JonnyEnglish-gu1cs]

I do miss having a darkroom many happy hours spent in there dodging and burning playing with different papers the unforgettable smell of stop bath heaven in the darkness lovely prints looks like great fun you had with the pin hole 👍🏻

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Pinhole is good fun. No nonsense photography. Cheers Jonny

[@highfidelityart]

You really upped your filming and editing in the last few videos. Great Job!

[@Raychristofer]

My man I feel your pain. You're a true soldier to go back and reshoot. Folks who don't run a channel can't relate to that type of thing.

[@GraemeSimpsonPhotography]

I got given some darkroom gear and thanks to you I've acually been giving it a go. After weeks of trial and error I finally got a print I'm happy with last night. So happy and thank you!

[@JohnTomasella]

It's fun isn't it? I've learned a lot from him. I can't wait to edit my next video, I got a print I'm pretty happy with.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

@@JohnTomasella Whats your channel John?

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

It takes time and very self rewarding. Nice one.

Roger that you're going back the next day to take the pictures again is great. As always thumbs up for the video.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

`thanks Marcel

[@vproven]

Outstanding vlog. Nicely done. 👌👌👌

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Thanks Vincent

[@josephasghar]

Lovely pics. And great storytelling.

[@FabrizioZago]

Very nice prints and great new camera, I like the folding medium format cameras like that one. Looking forward for the first images you'll come up with.

[@ThatGamingGuyfromthe70s]

Great prints again Roger. Pinhole photography can be tough and keeps you on your toes. Enjoy the Franka Solida, good folders on a budget, looking forward to what results you get.

[@brianmccutcheon3205]

I appreciate your blog my friend: You have encouraged me to try this pin hole. That contact sheet would look great framed. Thank you once again

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Thanks for watching.

[@jhenline7813]

You get better and better at making videos Roger, and better and better in the darkroom too!

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Thanks J.

[@buyaport]

Nicely done and a joy to watch (this one and the many others you posted).. I just wanted to thank you for all the effort you put into your videos. You got a new Patreon supporter, and I would encourage everyone who like your videos to join in, too. Keep up the good work.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Thank you for the support. Keep Watching.

[@manfredoetting7694]

Thank you for this great video. Because of your videos on Lerouge I bought one. Your exposure-time schedule from another video of yours works best! On Lerouge I miss a threated cable release: on some of my pictures I had my fingers because of the shutter handling! Regards from Hamburg

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Yes it takes getting used to. I sometimes use a pen to open and close the shutter.

[@manfredoetting7694]

Good idea! @@ShootFilmLikeaBoss

[@ribsy]

man i mess things up all the time! glad to see i'm not the only imperfect soul out there!

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Surely we all do Ribs.

[@jasturbo02]

Really nice work Roger! It looked like loads of fun getting out there and shooting with the pinhole. I see you managed to keep the feet dry this time round! :)

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

For once I kept dry Jason.

[@piotrphotography]

Hi. Thanks for the inspiration. I started building my darkroom in the garage. I will soon start my adventure with analog photography after a thirty-year break. Regards

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Welcome back. I used to have a DR in the Garage. Still got my original notes on the wall from years ago

[@IainHC1]

Bad day at White Rock was it?? :-D As to the stick...... It's ahhht dahhhhhlinng!! ;-) Cracking vid m8 :-)

[@pixiedixie3682]

I like your pin hole. Where I can buy this particular model ? Thank you. Really nice prints , by the way .

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

I got it from a place called Greenwich Cameras in London. I'm Sure they are available online it's a Lerouge 66

[@endingmirage]

Some nice editing here, I like it

[@loading12342000]

The second image in the contact sheet is brilliant (the one with the hand rail). Don't overlook it.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Interesting. Thanks,.

[@kendesantis7319]

I would have been tempted to remove the stick, maybe one photo with it and one without. I’ll be interested to hear your opinion about the franka solida, I’ve been watching some on eBay but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. I just shot with a Zeiss Nettar 518/2 with the novar 105mm 6.3 and the results were ok, definitely not as sharp as the 75mm 4.5 novar on my other nettar but if I ever want a shot with vignetting and soft focus everywhere but the center I know what I’ll use.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

I am also interested to see how it performs. I'll save the first time for a video. I looked at the stick and nearly pulled it away. But part of my wondered why it was there, was it washed like that or did some kid place it there. So I left it alone and shot what I saw. I guess sometimes you can look at a photograph and wonder. Thanks Ken .

[@minigpracing3068]

How were you using your light meter? Were you comparing the measured value against a chart, or will that meter read directly for those tiny apertures? I need to get my Zero cameras out and metering is always an issue. Wasted a lot of 35mm film in a camera I made, as well as a Dirkon paper camera because of metering. Would like something that's a bit more accurate with a pinhole to get me closer to the number of minutes. I'm going to try caffenol developer when I get my next film order in, just want to try it and see how it goes.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

I use a pinhole app and once I calibrate my pinhole details in it gives me a chart. I base the chart on f5.6 aperture. So when I meter up I look for the speed at f5.6 and then refer to my chart, which I printed and have in my pocket, and that shows me my metered value at the pinhole exposure time. I also had to add my films reciprocity failure.

[@abohosamabohosam4178]

What is the appropriate time per second for exposure in sunlight or in normal light with a pinhole camera, who has correct information, thanks.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Information should be with the camera. They all differ depending on the size of the pinhole and camera format. This is the Lerouge 66 and it came with a time sheet for sun, light overcast and cloud with a 100 speed film.

[@rotfai45mm]

Yes Roger , good work again . I can't wait to finish and develop my first Delta 100 from my Mamiya C330 . But is stormy and it rains a lot all the time in the Netherlands .

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Been like that here a lot. Stopped me a few times this year.

[@krazywally5685]

Brilliant 👍inspiring, thanks

[@nigeldawson8218]

I miss the enjoyment of the darkroom. I do not miss the cost.

[@Enevan1968]

You make mistakes so we don't have to :-) But all joking aside, I like the way you work and explain it to us.

[@JohnTomasella]

Haha multitasking, dodging with two hands.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Yes that was tricky. My left hand is clumsy

[@iainmc9859]

Hey, simple dumb errors are what still keeps it interesting. If it wasn't for these we'd all be shooting digital. Developed a roll of film (leader was inside the canister)....blank, developed another roll of film (leader inside canister)...blank. Threw my chemicals away. Next roll perfect....sorted thought I. Looked at the two rolls of blank film. The draw across hadn't been exposed to light.....duuuugh. Two unexposed films wasted and probably fine chemicals gone down the sink. Still don't know how the leaders ended up inside the canister and film inside my 'to develop' bag......time to re-assess workflow dynamics....bang head against wall :-/

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

I was talking to a guy about this the other day. He had a clear film all across. I went over the usual suspects and then thought maybe he mixed up films in the bag and loaded an unexposed film in the tank. In the end he realised he fixed the film first! No black leader.

[@iainmc9859]

Nice to know there's more than one idiot putting the cornflakes back in the box (old joke, I'll tell you one day!). The gutting thing is that I did it twice before realising my own stupidity and wasted those chemicals :-)

[@kevincamp2913]

Have you caught yourself casting a shadow in your images yet? :)

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

Not that I've noticed 😂

[@RickMahoney2013]

Roger you don’t take photos you make the photos.

[@ShootFilmLikeaBoss]

I try Rick
