My pinhole photography adventures
Pinhole at Ouse Valley: An Endless Search for Inspiration
Join me on a creative adventure as I explore the Ouse Valley Viaduct and Ardingly Reservoir with my pinhole cameras for a day of photography in challenging conditions.
Using both the ONDU 4x5 Rise Pinhole Camera and the Harman Titan Pinhole Camera, I capture a series of long exposures showcasing the iconic Victorian viaduct and the peaceful, misty reservoir.
This video documents the ups and downs of shooting on a grey, muddy morning, navigating tricky compositions, dealing with low light, and working with film photography in unpredictable weather.
The Ouse Valley Viaduct, with its stunning arches and historic architecture, is a must-visit location for photographers, even if the weather doesn’t cooperate. Meanwhile, the Ardingly Reservoir offers a tranquil setting, with reflective water and unique subjects like a submerged bench adding a creative twist.
Whether you’re into pinhole photography, film cameras, or exploring new locations like these in the UK, this video has something for everyone. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and comment with your thoughts on shooting in less-than-ideal conditions!

Great video Will. You have convinced me to try 4x5 pinhole. What would you recommend as a the best 4x5 pinhole camera to start with (not counting making your own)? Thanks
Hard choice, each has different advantages and disadvantages depending on what it is your photographing. I did a post a while back which lists a few www.willgudgeon.com/2024/01/best-5-large-format-pinhole-cameras-for.html?m=1
Excellent images!!
Thank you Garon, hope you're doing well .
This is the best drone for its money, for the size and ease of use it`s mind boggling what it can do.
Great shots. I sort of prefer the crummy days for the mmod they add to pinhole shots. Good work! Don't sell the RB 67. I love mine.
I feel it is a camera I would regret selling, hopefully head out with it over Christmas holidays. Also love the wet crummy days for the mood
I love the two shots under the pillars, but that bench in the water ! really love it !!!
Yes, I am pleased with the bench shot, I would like to off got lower, but would have got wet
You're an expert at this stage 📷👍
🤣 some days I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing 😁
The 'up shot' with the Harman Titan definitely my favourite but really liked all of them. Keep on inspiring!
Thank you 😊
Think I like the 2 images from under the viaduct with the pillars (looking thru & looking straight up) the most :-)
Thank you kindly 😁
For the wet weather you were having, the Harman Camera was perfect for the day.
Fantastic camera the Harman
Good to see you out there 😊
Good to be there 👍 I will need back
4:56 masterpiece, it could be a beautiful print
Thank you 😊
Loved this! Thank you, Will, for such a patient and clear guide to starting with drone photography!
Thank you so much for this excellent video It's really good to see the Neo being used to gather stills rather than the ubiquitous videos that we are more used to!
Thank you, I've enjoyed using it for stills, and it works fine for my needs. Still eyeing up something else for lower light and windy weather
Awesome video. Which one if your favorite of the 5 cameras?
Thank you. Tough decision, all have good points for different things. My Zero image was my first and had it for 10 years, so have a soft spot for that one. The Ondu is fantastic for around cities, towns ect. Harman titan delivers some wonderfully sharp images for a pinhole.
I was waiting for the Sea Power track to play somewhere.
I was tempted, but didn't want any copyright issues using their music. I believe the original recording featured the organ from inside the church 🤔
This drone is not for scenic video /photos the batteries are tiny it's a fpv & selfie drone but pointless to use I Thai way with thd limited battery capacity you really need a dji mini at the least
Thank you for your concern! I'm well aware of what this drone was designed for-those were precisely the reasons I bought it. That said, owning it unexpectedly sparked an interest in drone photography and videography. Until I can afford a model more suited to those pursuits, I'll happily continue using this one to practice and learn. After all, even Picasso started with crayons, right?
dude, he just did it lol. this is a good entry to see if you like doing it instead of spending more and finding out it’s not for you
good video there will like the gate shot and the one with the moss on the grave stone looking at the church i have got hold of a zero image 4x5 had a little play with it really happy with the photos from it.
Excellent Thank you 😊 Great pinhole camera, mine is 10 years old now, really well built, you will absolutely love using it
All good compositions. Excellent 👍🏻
Sorry to be the one to point out , but shouldn’t that be 16 feet square ?
Probably 🤔
Strange that TH-cam highlighted your video when I was there on Wednesday! It's such a lovely spot. I was playing with a tilt shift lens I'd just bought! PS, I also like the boring, square on viewpoint :)
TH-cam must be tracking where we are going now 🤔😄 It is a beautiful spot
Nice! :)
I love 8:40 and 10:45
Wonderful photos
Thank you Colin 😊
It is not the technology, primarily, moreover what you are able to do with this. And that’s exactly what you very well showed in this post. The process of finding nice locations, good conditions, photographic feel, and positioning the drone on the right angle, height and speed. This proofs that the little Neo is very well capabable to make photo art yourselves, and you are inspiring your followers. Well done, hope to see more nice work, interesting area.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it 😊
i like your photos :) they have this calm, beautiful vibe to them
Thank you very much 😊
Thanks for sharing, Will. Great film, as always. You have a knack for blind composition. Well done. I always struggle with the 25mm on my Zero45. My favorite is the gate shot, as well. Cheers Scott
Thank you Scott, the 25mm is such a struggle, it captures so much, I normally set up a shot with that, then move closer, and still seems far away 😆
Beautiful video, the drone footage is a nice touch! I enjoyed all of the photos, even the boring one ;-), regardless of the focal length.
Thank you very much, glad you liked the boring one too 😁
Lovely video. I like the 50mm image. The addition of the drone was cool. I liked seeing the church from above as it sits in the surrounding landscape.
Thank you Wendy, I feel it is nice to see a subject in its surrounding area, pleased you enjoyed it
Nice photos. I prefer the 50mm landscape orientation.
Thank you, seems to be the popular the one 👍
Somehow I totally missed this video! Looks like you're gonna have a lot of fun with your little Neo :-)
Yeah, going to enjoy getting out with this 😁 I've been wanting to get back out with a digital camera again, this is a bit more fun than a normal digital camera😆
Ohh what a lovely little location! And by the looks of it, you had it all to yourself! Nice fade between the real 'boring straight on shot' and the pinhole version. Aerial shots put things really in perspective; because of the movements, I'd say your using a remote controller. My fav is the gate shot too; that gravestone isn't in the way at all imo :-)
It is a beautiful location and did not seen anyone the whole time I was there. Yes was using a controller for most drone shots, apart from me walking, has some AI tracking modes for that😁 Glad you liked the photos
Hey Will, drone footage is really cool addition to your videography, and really enjoyed the history of the church voice over. The 50 mm photo was the better of the 2 in my opinion, and also loved the first image with all the fallen leaves in the foreground. Also there is not anything wrong with a straight on photo, with pinhole, no angle is a boring angle. I emailed Andrea by the way, and he sorted me out a 4x5 50mm and gave me a good deal on it as it's one he made for himself but had only shot once and then put aside. Just need to get a couple of 4x5 holders now and I'll go and experiment with that. Got my digital "scanning" set up sorted and spent all of yesterday afternoon digitizing roll after roll. Just need to teach myself GIMP and I'll be able to post up some images soon. All the best Russell
Hi Russell, I'm so glad you liked the drone footage! It seems to have worked really well for this video, and I genuinely enjoyed putting it together. I was a bit unsure about whether to add a voiceover to share more about the church, but it's great to know you appreciate the result as is. Glad to hear Andrea got you a good deal-his 4x5 cameras with the 50mm are fantastic! there are plenty of helpful GIMP tutorials on TH-cam. I use it myself occasionally for some of my work. I’m looking forward to seeing some of your images! Feel free to tag me in any of them. I don’t use Instagram much, but I do post and browse from time to time. Many thanks Will
As always, I really enjoyed it. Thanks to your videos I ordered the Zero Image 2000 a few days ago and am waiting for delivery. BTW, my father is from Hradec Kralové, where Fomapan is made :)
Excellent, you will love the Zero 2000, never used one, but I know lots of people love them, I had my Zero 45 for 10 years, and such a robust and well made camera. I did not know the area where Fomapan was made, great to know thank you, I do love fomapan film 😁
Almost died of frostbite just watching this
I almost died being out in this 😁
What a delightful little church! Prefer the second 50mm one with the sword and like your ‘boring’ one as it’s makes the church look so cute. Like the one with the fallen leaves in the foreground. Like all the images actually 😊
Thank you 😊 It is a beautiful little church, and being tucked out of the way means it's mostly quiet, such a nice place to be. Pleased you enjoyed all the photos 😊
Wonderful video;I really enjoyed it. Thank you. Personally I preferred the 50mm photo with the sword tomb. Have you bought a drone? I don't recall seeing any drone footage in your previous videos. Maybe I'm just not very observant.
Thank you 😊 Yes I brought a small DJI neo drone, has a few follow modes so perfect for some footage to hopefully 🤞 the video footage more interesting 😁 It is new, so only a couple of videos feature it
Thank you for the great video! How many batteries did you use on this video? Is it true that the battery flight time is very short?
I used all 3. 2 I didn't use up completely, flight time is around 7-8 minutes each battery which for what I use it for is fine. There is a non genuine larger battery available which should apparently give around 20-22 minutes of flight time, I am tempted to buy and test.
Seeing the rain made me wonder if you've ever put a drop of water on the pinhole to see what effect it has?
I never have, but have wondered how it would look, may have to give it ago sometime 😊
Really enjoyed this drone into video and how you use the drone in your other videos. The perspective is a whole different world, which is part of its' facination. Keep those batteries charged!
thank you, it should hopefully start getting used to film more of the vlogging videos, but is a great fun piece of kit, and yes, need to remember to have fully charged batteries 😀
Nice! :)
Thanks! 😄
I admire your dedication in going out in that weather. As I watched the video, all I could think of was sipping on a nice cup of hot chocolate! If you are happy with the shots you took, then it was worth it. Cheers! (in the video description, all the way down to how we can support your work, you have "but" instead of "buy", in the Pinhole Life line. I got what you're saying but people who struggle with English might wonder what you mean)
For me it's always worth it, even if they come out bad I feel it's a learning experience, plus I just enjoy getting myself out. Thank you for point out the but, have now sorted that 👍
This is a great drone that punches above its weight, literally!
Really nice images …..God bless enjoy your journey. Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much, really appreciate it, God bless.
I think the neo is just a gimmick. The image quality is not as good as the mini 2 or the mini 4k. For its price, I highly recommend the mini 4k. Better wind resistance, longer flight time, good video and picture quality, has a memory card slot, lots of aftermarket lens filters, the battery of the mini 1, 2, 2se, is compatible with the mini 4k. The only thing missing is it has no object tracking "follow - mode". The only real reason why I would buy a neo is its capable of flying in FPV in manual mode, "fun factor". but for quality images and videos, I'd still go with the mini 2, and the 4k. -again for the same price as the neo
100% agree. I've got a few DJI drones including the Neo. It's great for taking short clips on trips with the family, without having to slow the whole group down while I take 5 minutes to sync a controller etc, but it's main value to me is as a nice durable FPV that I can teach the kids manual flight with. It's also the only drone I own where my instinct is to LAUGH when I crash it, rather than my stomach turning. I didn't think I'd enjoy the motion controller either, but it's such an easy way to fly, my wife is illiterate with tech usually but she was shooting gaps in trees with it on her first ever drone flight! 😂
You coaxed some nice photos and footage from your Neo. So many samples I’ve seen have blown out highlights and muddy shadows. I suppose the cloudy landscape here pairs well with the Neo’s lack of dynamic range lol!
Thank you, and yes the dynamic range on the Neo is not great, so overcast days certainly do better for images.
Thanks Will, I know the area very well and I hope to be there soon with my drone to do some footage. Really enjoyed your work.
Excellent, thank you very much, it is a stunning location and loads of beautiful areas for the drone, look forward to exploring more with the drone myself.
@WillGudgeon True Will, I've done astrophotography there twice, stood all night to get great shots.
Beautiful Film
Thank you, I appreciate it 😊
Very nice photos. But if you are going to be adding a controller isn't it better just to get a mini 4K instead?
The thing is to have the option to not use a controller, and the portability. Those 2 are the advantages (IMO) over the Mini 4
@Angarsk100 I get that, but to take photos from a decent height, you need to get the controller.
I brought the Neo for the Quickshots and not having to use a controller when out making videos, I added the controller as an extra, but since getting I have started to enjoy it a lot flying it manually.
Will, I really enjoyed what you created from the NEO. I look forward to more amazing photos from you soon. .
Thank you, I will definitely be out again capturing images soon. I will be uploading more to my blog www.willgudgeon.com It a slightly different direction to what I normally do, but enjoying the process.
