Misty Landscapes | ILFORD PAN F PLUS | Mamiya 7 II

[@brianmccutcheon3205]

It’s so refreshing to watch a slow pace video with no long introductory blar. Great photos and who cares about background noise and a couple of drops of water on the lens. Life’s not perfect

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@JeffCreates]

I'm a big believer in abstaining from apologising in vlogs. Most people don't even notice. Most people also don't care that there may have been an issue anyway. We're not filming with a load of people who have assigned roles, we're doing it all ourselves. The imperfection is part of the reason we watch.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

You're probably right in that people won't notice but I don't think it hurts to get across some of the frustrations of how these things are made. Cheers Jeff.

[@HV71851]

Craig Prentis I on the other hand worked in TV shooting videos for 35 years, so I appreciate you giving a heads up if you had an issue, specially with the audio. It is very annoying when you hear bad audio, for me is enough not to continue watching. Keep up the nice work! Beautiful photos, thank you.

[@richardsimms251]

Very good video. Very good photographs. Thank you. RS

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@iainmc9859]

I think Barney enjoys your photowalks even more than you do. Thank goodness for misty days.

[@richardsimms251]

Very, very enjoyable presentation. Thank you so much. RS. Canada

[@UncleDansVintageVinyl]

Wonderful photos! And Barney's such a great dog!

[@derrenleepoole]

Craig Prentis and Zenography = the ASMR of photography channels :)

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Thanks, I like a bit of Zenography too.

[@TwelveFrames]

Miguel beat me to it. I like that there's no punchy music, and that you include mostly just the ambient sounds of where you are shooting. Makes for a very calm and zen approach that a lot of people don't do. And, now I also want to give this film a try in my Rollei. Thanks!

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@TXLorenzo]

Love your dog.

[@runninblue9415]

Great last pic of the dog. Just lovely

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

runninblue thank you, I’ll pass the message on to Barney

[@gb52]

Go Barney !! Slick vid as always Craig !

[@Glasshousebc]

Barney is awesome... such a sweet shot him at the end... Cheers Craig... loved those initial shots of the twisted branches also.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

thank you, he's very happy to pose. Glad you liked the photos.

[@BillyHopscotch]

Barney stole the show 😉

[@christopherfairfowl5521]

Thank you, excellent video

[@davidpearce2981]

What a great location

[@alexblake8717]

Enjoyed watching this and seeing the pictures. Who cares about the sound, I quite like hearing the background noise.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

thanks for watching

[@riccardoarriola6768]

Terrific I love that you use a spot lightmeter. Most of “photographers” will never learn how to use it. I went to the CCC , here in México, and the "students" don't really care much about learning how to use it. Pretty well explained your video, thank you very much for your dedication and passion.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Thanks, I find that using a meter is just part of my analogue process and helps me understand what's going on in a scene.

[@TL-xw6fh]

It's always a pleasure to stumble upon a vlog that talks and guides the viewer through taking photographs, compositions and why makes a great photo. There are way too many so called photo vlogs that talks about camera gear, bokeh, dynamic range, noise, why a zillion pixel camera is the best thing since sliced bread, etc. They are really boring as photography is about what you do. Keep it up and I've subscribed to your channel!

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

t Lim thank you, it’s good to know there are people out there ‘stumbling across’ the channel and enjoying the content. Much appreciated.

[@mauromatalone3011]

Thanks for sharing Craig. Nice images, love the portrait composition of the rain drops. Take care

[@mikys]

Great video! I loved all of the images. I also like that there’s no music in the video the used nature sound was great!

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

thanks Miguel, yes, I try to keep the music to a minimum. I prefer natural, ambient sound.

[@blaxton2]

I understand what you mean about the ambient traffic noise. On the other hand the church bells were a nice background addition. As to the photos themselves, two stand out in my mind: the hawthorn with wire fence and, of course, Barney.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Yes it's the road and airplane noise (I'm on a flight path) that I could do without. I don't mind the church bells. Thanks for watching.

[@HenryHoagen]

Beautiful images. Thanks for sharing

[@dbl1db]

Thanks Craig. I really enjoyed this.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

thank you

[@lensman5762]

Absolutely brilliant photography. Pan F is a difficult film to use in a high dynamic range scene but it seems to have suited the lighting in the woods. Well done.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

thank you

[@bratwurstprag9979]

Great video, beautiful photos, nice dog :) Thanks.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

thanks very much

[@jamesdunlop8704]

great photos I realy enjoy your style .Real photography

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Thank you

[@AndresRuiz-gs8vm]

Doggie is sooooo cute ❤️

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

thanks

[@davidpresnell1734]

I use my pan F to photograph trees also. It's exposure latitude allows highlights and good detail in the shadows in our bright Florida light. I use a baby Grafic and a 6x6 back. I meter through the camera and add enough f stops to make up for the loss through the ground glass.

[@domgreco7]

This combo with that film is spectacular. Also, your compositions are beautiful. Well done brother.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Great, thanks for watching.

[@richardstollar4291]

I'm coming late to your channel but I especially loved the image of the hawthorn tree with the leading fence and the one of the dog, although he looked frozen :)

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Thank you

[@toke7560]

Very nice, really enjoyed the video. Beautiful picture of a beautiful creature.

[@friesewiese]

Hi Craig, I discovered your channel yesterday and now I'm binge watching all of your videos. I am amazed by all of your images, especially the ones in the fog. I love that you talk so much about composition and exposure, you really teach a lot. Would love to see more videos!

[@nmd1211]

Beautiful photos, peaceful video, interesting info (slow speeds, reciprocity) and darned cute dog!

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Thank you and I'll pass on your comments to Barney ;-)

[@Michael-jl8ev]

Really enjoying these, Craig. Thanks for taking us along on your journey.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Thanks Michael, much appreciated.

[@barrieanthony952]

Brilliant images, so glad I found your channel today

[@stephelisabeth3143]

Also your dog is quite the little model! My dog would never sit so still for a photo

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Yes, he's happy to pose ;-)

[@j.c.m5168]

The last shot of Barney is wonderful!

[@obserwator53]

Great video.

[@zachary4225]

Awesome composition. Enjoyed your work

[@mitchstetson7094]

This has to be one of my favorite channels, great video quality and incredible photos. I love how you keep everything simple and explain what you are doing and planning for each shot.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Thank you very much. I'm pleased you're enjoying the videos.

[@DiegoMcCartney]

That’s a really lovely location Craig. The early shots inside the woodland area with the dense fog all looked great. Some really interesting branches on those trees. Thanks for sharing another calm and relaxing video. 😁😎

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Hi Diego, I hoping for lots more of that over the coming months. Thanks for watching.

[@nousavonsable]

the last picture, the best! I don't know why but those landscapes are ok, but for this medium, the B&W and maybe the focal the picture of the dogs takes all the advantages. Next time those landscapes in colors would be a better idea...

[@tonyb2760]

Loved the image at 5:51. Beautiful contrast and composition. The image of your dog was another great image. All were good, those two were my favorites. Thanks for sharing

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Thank you Tony

[@kolsimcha]

Wonderful channel, great pictures. Thank you for that. I don’t know if you‘re aware of it, but the close up adapter of the Mamiya 6 75mm lens fits perfectly on the 80mm Mamiya 7 lens and lets you focus down to 50cm. It‘s a great addition to this system. But beware: NOT the one for the Mamiya 7, that’s crap.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

that's interesting, thanks

[@shelgerson]

I enjoyed the ambiance of the traffic noise.

[@708photog]

Beautiful! I really enjoy your videos and images. I appreciate that you’re photographing your local landscapes, sites, and buildings. That is how I make pictures. It’s very nice to see someone capturing the subtle beauty around them. Also-Barney is great!

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Thank you. Everyone likes a trip to a well known beautiful location but I'm determined to find images in my local area. Sometimes, I think you have to work harder when the surroundings are so familiar. I'll pass on your message to Barney ;-)

[@Glasshousebc]

Stuck indoors, so thought I’d revisit some classic videos... just to say that last shot of Barney was exquisite, Craig. Stay well, matey Steve Mac.

[@-grey]

This is very peaceful. I like the video colours, so I’d almost like to see this again on colour stock. The contrast is excellent. It’s very interesting to see other styles of work. You really found some great compositions. I think in time the talk to camera rhythm and tone will improve. Also 10 points added for bringing the dog out. ✌️

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Always looking to improve.

[@heinzhagenbucher4714]

Thank you very much for the calm video, I really enjoyed it. The images with the twisted brunches I like the most. Just love b&w. Well done.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@cindytaylor5962]

Amazing work!

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Thank you

[@DANVIIL]

Very nice images and the film is beautiful. I need to try out some Pan F Plus in my Pentax 6x7 or the 6x9 Fuji GSW690III. I really like your exposures in these shots.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Thank you. I don't think you'll be disappointed with Pan F.

[@lostintransitphoto]

Good eye, solid composition and some wonderful fog. I am now subscribed.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

thank you

[@mamiyapress]

Another very enjoyable video as I look out my back window on a very wet Sunday morning.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@David_GarciaMontero]

I love the shots and I love your dog. Amazing both

[@jenserwig1707]

That's a good boy !!!

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

he sure is!

[@francisbombus3949]

a pleasure as always

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

thanks you

[@Juno-Doran]

Hi Craig, lovely video and a great reminder of how beautiful the cold seasons can be in this country. I wish I had a dog as good as yours, mine is a Japanese Akita and has to be on lead the whole time.

[@getawaytherapy]

There are no good or bad dogs.. only good or bad humans! Dedicate some time everyday to training your dog and you will be surprised!

[@Juno-Doran]

@@getawaytherapy thanks for your reply, clearly you've never owned a Japanese Akita 😀 they are highly independent, primitive and fearless, high prey drive dogs with hunting and fighting in their DNA and very poor recall, even with good training they make their own decisions when they want. I'm teaching him the "picture" command which means stopping for a while and being patient, it's working a bit but if he sees so much as a pheasant or a rabbit they're off!

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Hi Juno, yes Barney has been such a good friend for me over the years. We've had him from a pup and he was 11 the other day. Just seen Yoshi's Instagram - he's a handsome chap. Stick with it - you're doing a good job ;-)

[@sagnik_datta]

Great job! Your video and the photos both look amazing!

[@begin9316]

[@tommasocauchi3115]

You’re incredibly talented, I’ve watched yours videos and about medium and large format film photography and they are a true pleasure to watch! Something truly refreshing and relaxing. Compliment!

[@DonKittle]

Really solid, interesting shots, Craig. What a great outing. The background on the audio was fine (though it felt a bit off, sync-wise, at times). I really liked a lot of your compositions and the dew drops shot turned out fantastic. Loved the shot of Barney :) Thanks for sharing with us.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Don Kittle thanks Don, that’s good to know and I’ll check the sync. It was the first vlog I’ve edited with DaVinci Resolve so it’s probably me moving bits around incorrectly on the timeline

[@richforthestar9743]

Have a off day from work and binging on all your videos. Cheers!

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Rich Forthestar excellent, love the idea of you binge-watching my videos!

[@AndrewSeywright]

Hey Craig, very fortunate to have found your channel. Thoroughly enjoyed watching your process and Barney of course, had a cocker for nearly 18 years myself

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Cheers, I'm glad you found the channel. I always bring Barney along if I can.

[@fathiismail333fathiismail]

Really it's so wonderful and speculative photographs, that's reflects the beautiful nature among the misty atmosphere, I'm so glad to see such an awesome and gorgeous photography, that I was felt specially an obstructive meaning that represents in curved lines of the branches beauty, Thanks Craig so much for your awesome creative Artwork.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Thank you Fathi, I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@magnusa.5599]

stunning photos, especially of those (oak)trees in the beginning. over all nice tranquility. cheers.

[@andrewfrost8866]

I love your videos Craig, you created some lovely images, and what a beautiful image of Barney!

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

thanks Andrew, much appreciated

[@taylorchristianjones808]

Excellent - thanks a lot for sharing! Really fun to watch those walks with Barney! That Mamiya 7 looks like a solid machine to work with.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Yes, the Mamiya 7 is lovely to work with. Thanks for watching!

[@Nat.ImagesLarge.F.Photographer]

Beautiful shots and video!

[@thevalleywalker]

No need for apologies Craig - don't think anyone would have noticed any sound issues , well I certainly didn't :) Very enjoyable as always and a couple of stand out images for me - loved the image at 5.50 with the large tree, the tree in the background seemed to be replicating the main subject, nice. Also the hawthorn and the fence, in mono it could have been taken any time in the last 50 years - timeless. To end the roll with a shot of Barney was perfect, great shot too.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Hi Alan, I’m glad you didn’t find the audio too jarring. I like using ambient sound but I could have done without the car noises - it didn’t really fit with the ambiance of the woodland. I like the shots you mentioned too and yes, misty shots have a timeless quality to them. Thanks for your comments.

[@labradorhund7769]

That dog portrait is gorgeous. And he is such a good boy. Mine always closes his eyes right before I click (on purpose, I tell you!) : )

[@robertoposa1120]

Good work - perfect match camera, film and weather

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

roberto posa thanks, I’m glad you liked it

[@R2DUNE2]

Hey Craig, just wanted to stop by, and say great photos!

[@tomgamble5927]

Hi Craig, A lovely relaxed style & gorgeous film, I especially like the image at 5:06 to me it almost looked 3d great separation. Of course, the best image was saved till last, the one of Barney.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Thank you Tom, I'm glad you enjoyed it and the shot you mentioned. I'll pass your comments on to Barney ;-)

[@Rocking_J_Studio]

I enjoyed your intro this week. Nice touch! You took a nice set of images on this trip! They were all good, but I especially liked the first one. I wish we had such nice "soft" days but we just don't get fog that often where I live & mainly shoot. Overcast days just aren't the same. Good video! You gave a lot of information as to the thinking behind your compositions.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Great, thanks John, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I wish we got a bit more fog down this way but I'll be getting out whenever I can in these conditions as I love the look it provides.

[@Prashant.Khapane]

Nice set again Craig. 1/3/ and last are lovely

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Travel Hopefully Photography thank you

[@lorenzopoltrini4305]

WOW.

[@RS.Outdoors]

Very nice images Craig and great to see the use of film. Brings back memories from when I done a course on photography at School many, many years ago where we got to shoot with B&W film and process it all from start to finish. Very satisfying process and to see your image come to life in the tanks is something I will always remember.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Thanks Ray, yes I started with film at college and have gone back to it all these years later. I must admit I love the processing bit afterwards and seeing the film appear out of the tank. I hope to be able to darkroom print at some stage but for now, scanning and inkjet printing is good enough for me.

[@UploadN0ob]

Some of the shotgun microphone audio almost contributed to the ambience :)

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

I do know what you mean, John. Just frustrated to not have the cleaner audio on my early-on talky bits.

[@bigstick5278]

Renegade Scot::::: Brings back the time when all i used was film, Transparencies and lots of B&W. I use to go out in the marshes and woods in the morning and evenings in Florida. Sold my Darkroom years ago and yes i miss it as well. Digital has it's advantages. One, you're your own processor without all the chemicals and time. Two, speed we can get cleaner shots never achieved with film at higher ISO. And three you're not dealing with rolls of film and film backs. Does this make me excited? Not actually, but it has become the new speedy format for lots of Pros, and so many people feel they have become pros. For me the truth of film and skills in the darkroom is what made a good to great photographer, having that knowledgeable eye at the magic moment is always going to be the main ingredient. But i haven't seen a photo lately that made me go wow, without it being over-hyped with software. What would Galen Rowell be using today? Ever notice how technology with it's speediness that was suppose to give us more time to do things has actually taken time away? This is my personal opinion so take it for whats it's worth.

[@stephelisabeth3143]

I’m pleased to hear you got good results in the fog! Due to the low ISO, I was avoiding shooting in those situations, but I might just give it a go

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

I love shooting in the fog. I tend to overexpose a bit as a camera meter often gets fooled into thinking it's brighter than it actually.

[@christopherhowell3209]

Love your dog!

[@radicaleyemag]

Love the branch shots!

[@ehsanesbati]

Internet is a weird place. You search for videos on a film you are meaning to shoot, discover a video which you very much enjoy, decide to look through the other videos posted by the same person, and within 5 minutes realise both him and his great dog have passed away. RIP both.

[@FilmPhotographyChannel]

Great job on this video. I love the photos too. Love Barney more!

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

thank you, I'm glad you liked it

[@joncaradies3155]

Nice exposures .... It's hard to get rich blacks when it's foggy but these look awesome !

Thanks, yes, these worked out ok. Love Pan F.

Nice one! Especially the first shots with the twisted branches looked absolutely beautiful! Love the calmness of your videos and the sounds of the nature.

Great, I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@AustenGoldsmithPhotography]

Nice photos ! Im sitting here waiting for my pan F negs to dry right now , did 10 long exposures , i can see i forgot to re set my tripod , they look great especially if you like wonky seascapes . I might have to go back and catch the sunset again tomorrow ( My dog always keeps me company )

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Good stuff, I hope they come out ok.

[@AustenGoldsmithPhotography]

@@CraigPrentisPhoto they were possibly the worst photos I’ve taken , total fail , how a neg can be totally over exposed in the darker areas while being completely washed out in the lighter areas eludes me ?? I used a reciprocity ap ?

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

I'm sorry to hear that. Did you mean under exposed in the darker areas, as 'over exposed' and 'completely washed out' are the same thing?

[@AustenGoldsmithPhotography]

@@CraigPrentisPhoto sorry I meant under exposed in darks and totally blown out in highlights ! Quite an achievement!
