Excellent images, and interesting challenges for the two films. New viewer/subscriber. Cheers!

Well living at the North end of that road I can say we get a good breeze and swell too :-) Great set of images from a day I'm envious off 👌

[@AustenGoldsmithPhotography]

thanks !

[@parolajd]

Thank you for the great video. I shoot a lot of B&W film almost all XP2 because of results such as in your video.

Amazing shots. 🎞️🎞️📷

[@GraemeSimpsonPhotography]

Wow mate! Lighthouse shots are just incredible! I may have to get a print of that one next time you're in the darkroom.

[@AustenGoldsmithPhotography]

I'm firing up the enlarger today . I have so many negs I want to print I don't know where to start !!

[@RandyPollock]

Love the lighthouse shots, those waves looked nasty.

[@AustenGoldsmithPhotography]

Thank you ! Which lighthouse pic in particular? I like the first one on the 500 mm although it lacks the sky drama

[@RandyPollock]

@@AustenGoldsmithPhotography yes the first one was a great capture

[@mnoliberal7335]

XP-2 has pretty good cloud definition, as though shots are taken through a yellow filter. Yes, 1/125th was too slow and the wind too strong.

Great video Austin and some excellent images. As a local you don't have to pay at Lands End. I've got a locals pass but I think all you do now is show your driving license or some form of proof with an address. I've been there twice this week and they just wave me through. Two days ago was nearly blown off but got some big waves there and Sennen.

He should have known I was local from the state of my van !

Enjoyed the video, beautiful images. One question: given the wind I would have been concerned about sand and salt spray on the Hassie. Was that of any concern for you?

[@AustenGoldsmithPhotography]

The wind was offshore so the spray wasn't headed my way , I do my best to look after the kit but , it's a game of risk and reward !

[@jiml989]

Thxs. Working my way thru your videos. @@AustenGoldsmithPhotography

Beautiufl photographs Austen. LOL, £5.00 charge for parking in the low season. I guess it must have something to do with the war in Ukraine. PS: I have photographed for over 40 years, and my advice is to use filters sparingly.

[@roiloubia4483]

Agree with you on all what you said.

[@jean-claudemuller3199]

Nice shooting When incident meetering a such in field depth evenly lit scene it's not necessary to move before the camera, just meter backward behind the camera and it's OK. Give it a try, compare and you'll see 😊

[@AustenGoldsmithPhotography]

Yes that makes sense !

Interesting video, Oz. Were you running the XP2 at 800?

[@AustenGoldsmithPhotography]

Xp2 at 400 , hp5 400 on the beach , hp5 800 for the lighthouse
