Unlock the Art of Shooting Ilford Delta 3200 Film in London with Leica M6

[@davidcampbell1963]

Great video. Good honest reportage, but also one of the best arguments I've seen for digital B&W.

@@davidcampbell1963 thanks David. I really appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed it. J

[@bubbachua]

love this and your portraiture work of the homeless ❤

[@jamie.dop_]

@@bubbachua thank you. Kind words. That work means a lot to me and to have you say that makes me smile. Cheers, J

[@bubbachua]

@@jamie.dop_ Lee Jeffries was the first famous photographer I knew that did this sort of work and it’s been something that I wanted to try for a long time, just there aren’t many openly homeless around in the city I live in as the police would chase them away off the streets. I hope to see more of your work in that arena, seeing those images really bring about something special from the inside of the viewer

lovely stuff

[@colinosullivan]

Enjoyed the walk around. Mate. I’ve to check out some of your other videos. Over on mine I shoot ilford fp4 a lot. For portraits I love it. Thanks for sharing mate. Cheers

[@jamie.dop_]

I haven’t shot enough portraits on that yet but I did love the results. Will be up in a future video. Appreciate you taking the time to give your thoughts. Great to hear other people’s favourite film stocks and where they use them. J

[@colinosullivan]

@@jamie.dop_ looking forward to your future content. Cheers from across the Irish Sea.

I like to use Delta 3200 at night or dusk, empty train stations, places without people etc.

[@jamie.dop_]

This sounds like a great area to use it! Tripod and slightly longer exposures?

[@myphotographyworld9780]

I love this film stock, I have only used it in low light (ish) and night time.

[@jamie.dop_]

What key characteristics do you like? I think it’s just too grainy for me and great for memories but not necessarily for artwork and commissions. Glad to hear there are those out there that like it. Maybe I need another go at it!

[@myphotographyworld9780]

@dop_ I like the high contrast, given the right composition I think it’s moody or atmospheric ! I put up a short image reel on my channel of some shots using it. I’ve since bought some more, I’m hoping to get into Edinburgh one night soon and rip through a few spools!

[@jamie.dop_]

@@myphotographyworld9780 I am going to hunt your reel down! Would love to see those inages

[@jazztonna3969]

Good video. Did you consider pulling it and shooting it at 1600?

[@jamie.dop_]

No I didn’t think of doing that. Would you recommend it? What key differences would it make to the images?

[@MrJoeylikesmusic]

Next time try rating the film between iso 1000-1600

[@jamie.dop_]

Someone else mentioned that too. I’ll give it a try next time!

[@FelixJohnAttard]

@@jamie.dop_ usually I expose for 1600 and develop normally, gives better results. Also try Tmax P3200, personally, prefer it over Delta. Great stuff as always😎

[@lensman5762]

The true speed of this film is between 1200 and 1600. At 3200 you are already pushing it. I have seen some really effective portraits done with this film and a Holga. Some really good photography there.

[@jamie.dop_]

Legend. Thanks for the info. Always appreciated and encourages me to try it again now! Cheers, J

5:32 I think that one is good.

Interesting

Get rid of the nose-ring.

[@jamie.dop_]

In a world where men can be women and women can be men I think my nose ring is just fine thank you
