Fuzzy 6x6 or Sharp 35mm?

Beautiful images and a great video Steve. Very enjoyable and inspiring to watch 👍.

Many thanks 🙂

Great stuff again. I feel fuzzy and sharp both had their place. With the sand blasting straight into the Holga,, gritty in both senses of the word.

[@gerhardhoeger1048]

Great Pictures, Thanks!

Brilliant Steve, always worth watching. Merry Christmas

Like all the shots! 8:10 "Hundred Acre Wood" 😅 My Konica Pop does the Holga services for me. Need to hurry out before the rain... Cheers!

I find that working with limitations makes photography so much more fun, I like this about film photography in general, especially with cameras like the holga and pinhole cameras. What I love about them is the lofi look they give. I once shot with a canon 5d mk2 and a feeling of boredom just came over me, like I had too much freedom with this camera, up until then I’ve been shooting with older dslr cameras and I don’t think I’ll ever need anything new they sell today. Love the videos, been watching on and off for a while now.

Caught the Season Well as usual 👍💨🎄

When you said there was no colour or definition in the sky above the sand I said there is the picture. The monochromatic cold sky against the warm sand and the way the cloud patterns mirrored the shape of the lighter sand that was a gift. Still I guess because you were shooting on B&W film rather than digital you were limited in your choices shot to shot. That’s why when I shot film I had one OM1 body loaded with B&W and one with colour transparency. What a blessing having digital with a RAW file is.

Nice collection of images Steve, I like the images at 3:42 (low close-up) and 9:34 (black line from low position) best. Thanks for another entertaining video.

Beautiful photos, thank you for the video :)

[@eltinjones4542]

Some nice ones there alright 📷👍

Really good photos work because they get inside you - often emotionally - like great music. When these images landed on my feed earlier this morning I almost felt them - like listening to The Beatles 'Eleanor Rigby' or Mahlers 5th Symphony. There's a quiet impact that stays with you, engages you and makes you think. It's difficult to pin it down - composition, wonderful mid-tones, grain. FWIW I think Steve should publish a book of his monochrome landscapes - I'm sure a lot of people would happily buy one.

[@davidwalsh566]

Steve, you nicely demonstrate the advantages of using simple cameras in difficult conditions: both the Holga and the F80, in their different ways, allow you to concentrate on composition and not worry too much about settings. Who would want to be scrolling through menus in such cold and windy weather? Robin, perhaps? Some lovely results with both cameras. Thanks for another year of sharing your adventures in photography through such enjoyable and inspiring videos. Merry Christmas!

[@terrysankey3982]

Loved the 'gritty' shots but was so disappointed that you didn't have a fold out unicorn in you 'Mary Poppins' camera bag..😂

[@raybeaumont7670]

Cheers Steve - some interesting photos there. I like your results from the Holga! I've recently been playing with an old Pentax Optio digital compact - 3 megapixel - with some quietly good results. It's all about enjoying the different thought processes while using these things. Have a safe n happy Christmas! Best from the Rhondda

[@DizinEire]

Never had a Holga, probably never will. But I have seen some really good photographs by Eddie Mallon with one. Like the pano crop @ 1040. One for the wall would be the Pole @ 1125😁 Cracking vlog Steve. Cheers, Diz

[@lensman5762]

Lovely images, Steve. I have had a week off work to use up my holidays (they won't let us carry them over or buy our unused holidays, Americans for you), so I wanted to get up there early one morning but the tide was high at 9 meters until the afternoon. What time of day was this, it looked well out??? Again, loved the photos. And before I go, have a great Christmas and New Year.

[@chriscard6544]

Im working on a series for a Zine. I use a 4x5 camera and an Holga 120. I cant decide but the Holga brings a real arty render.

[@joerg_koeln]

Bravo, excellent pictures. If somebody needs a proof why the photographer's eye is so much more important than the type of camera, he/she should have a look into your channel. I tried out the Holga, but the shooting experience was terrible, I prefer a more solid camera. Sold it after only one film. But I still like its concept of simplicity.

[@steve.ev.photography]

Great images. Light and grain. Can you please let us know the name of your backpack. I saw something similar on a kickstarter awhile back but can't find it now. Perfect for changing lenses on a sandy /muddy beach.

The Photoshop remove tool was specifically developed to remove the unsightly wind turbines. At least that's what I was told. 😁

[@stevef2114]

Holgas are fine if you develop yourself. Otherwise i find them completely useless. If they have a set shutter speed of 1/100th (or some say 1/40th) with f8 aperture, on a cloudy day like you had, you would be getting around 400th would you using sunny 16 rule, which would well under expose your shots with iso400 film. If you rated it at 100 so you use the sunny 16 rule, you must of done development adjustents as they would be over exposed. Have i got that right?

Steve takes a rubbish camera and makes spectacular photos. I take a spectacular camera and make rubbish photos. Yin and Yang
