Hey, what a great video. Keep up the excellent work! I look forward to your next video.

Love the colour in the second shot 👌

Always great to see someone out with a film camera. Enjoyed that Russell and the images came out well.

[@rjphotos]

Thanks Alan, yeah something a bit different this time.

[@JayGilmourMedia]

Like David said it's great to see, everything is deliberate and thought through with the images. Really makes me want to go out with my film cameras again 👍😀

[@rjphotos]

Always worth running a roll of film if you have access to a film camera. The stuff you learn there brushes off onto your digital workflow.

[@JayGilmourMedia]

@@rjphotos very true, I started on film in my college and uni days, used to love spending hours in the darkroom... But that might have been the chemicals! Haha

[@tonyb2760]

I like what you are doing so you've gained another sub. Thanks for sharing

[@DGriffGallery]

Hi Russell - absolutely fascinating and engaging. I always think there's so much which we "spray and pray" digital shooters can learn from a photographic process which requires so much consideration, set-up (and expense!) to take a single frame. Nothing is wasted. In addition, I really like the creative use of depth of field which many landscapers (including me, sometimes!) almost permanently ignore in favour of front to back sharpness and rabid focus stacking! Thanks a lot for sharing this - I'm going to plug it as a technical exercise that people should watch from a perspective of getting more out of their digital cameras! 😀👍

Thanks David. Glad you enjoyed it.

Russel This is very close to where I live as well. Good images

[@rjphotos]

Thanks. There are some good opportunities there, especially this time of year.

[@Prashant.Khapane]

Russell Liked the second shot a lot. Where do you process your colour film. I do it at home however as I do black and white mostly it may good to know a reliable alternative

[@rjphotos]

I use Peak Imaging in Sheffield for colour, always had great results. I process my BW at home.

I would like to know what that camera case is I'm in the market for one for my shen hao tz45-iic

[@rjphotos]

Hi. The black case that the camera was in came with the camera.

[@shanechristensen4689]

Thanks for the video! Is Fomapan your go-to B&W Film?

[@rjphotos]

I've not used any other black and white stock with this camera, mainly because I bought 50 sheets and haven't used it up yet! I plan to try some others though. Probably Ilford FP4 plus next.

with the Chamonix C45F-2 is this ABS or wood?, as it can't be metal, that 3LT (three legged thing-an english tripod brand) would NOT hold anything heavy, just a light 35 mm or apsc sony A7s or the like, MAYBE a Nikon z6/z5 with a small prime, not much more!!; for most LF cameras a Manfrotto 055 or 074/028 is called for {~9Kg load capacity}, which is what most cameras weigh in at, for 5x7" & esp. 8X10" cameras (field), but all mono-rails mostly do, and a more precise 3 way (axis) head, to give ultimate control of composition.

It’s wood/carbon fibre and weighs about 2kg incl lens.
