I use to live in WA State and it would rain 8-9 months out of the year. Never used an umbrella, you can tell the tourists or people not from there, because they all had umbrella's. I've been living in the always sunny Az.This week has been the hottest week this year at 117 yesterday and today. I never thought I would say I wish it would rain. 😆 Fantastic Video and Prints Roger. Cheers 🍻
@@kevincamp2913 I think O'Nions mentioned it. Possibly also aows in an early video. It's usually too windy here in the Northwest coast of Norway when it rains.
Thank you for alerting me to the big film database, it bugs me to no end how all these boutique brands like to make up some cutesy name for all the esoteric films they re-roll. I just wanna know what I’m actually shooting! I’d buy so much more of this stuff if the emulsion/manufacturer were clearly labeled. At least now I have a clue!
It may be worth getting an umbrella clamp for the tripod, I have one that supports a large golfing umbrella and as long as there is little or no wind works well keeping camera dry whilst setting up the shot
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss not mine but one from a Steve O'nion TH-cam video where he uses an umbrella to protect his Intrepid, but I now always have one in the car.
Roger, you got a prism finder for the RZ? If not, I'd really not recomment using it in the rain, unless you've got it well covered with a brolley. I've discovered that my RB's waist level finder is quite a good bucket.
Another great video as always... I liked the full-on shot of the iron barrier (2nd you showed from the scans @ 8:30), also liked the 3rd. Inspirational as always :)
Great video. I like how you experiment and at the same time plan the shoot. I quite like that photo with the man walking, I think it would be less interesting without.
Yes I was in two minds over it. I'm glad I took the shot. Maybe a more interesting look would have made it more interseding. Like a umbrella or smart suit and hat. Or lady in high heels office attire
Question, Why do you swat the paper with another piece of paper? I'm new to dark room printing and would like to learn a bit more...Do you kind of "cover" it so it doesn't develop as much?
is that just before he exposes? If so, thats to make sure there's no dust. If its later while he's exposing, he's dodging and burning. He's done a couple of great videos about that too Welcome to the world of messing with chemicals in the dark :)
Yes I am wafting the paper to blow any dust, lint or hair that could possibly fall onto the paper during the exposure. As it was a long exposure it can happen.
That is a lovely composition of the pier, but I would have used the weather sealed F5 with a gritty film like Tri-X pushed to 800 in HC 110. I find that in those conditions a bit of grain and grit just adds to the gloomy atmosphere. Thanks for a very entertaining video.
Would the grain in the sky not have bothered you? I feel that would have drawn my eye right to it on the print. If I didn't have sky I'd have welcomed the grain. Love to know your thoughts on that as it's something embedded into me with sky and grain.
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss No it wouldn't TBH. In a situation like this where the scene is stormy and rough, the grain actually adds to the mood of the photograph. When I do occasionally shoot digital, I find the smooth plasticy looking skies bothersome. Everything on this planet has texture, and here I add the relevant amount of noise to make the photograph look realistic, perhaps one of the reasons that I shoot more and more with my old EM5 MKii, as the MFT sensor has a film like rendering. I used to do a lot of long exposure ( in order of hours if not days ) deep sky imaging of nebulae and galaxies before light pollution put an end to that. I was taught by a master of astroimaging, that even the vacuum of the outer space has some texture and not to employ too severe a noise reduction to destroy the delicate textures. A lot of people would process the data and apply super sophisticated noise reduction techniques that rendered the outer space as if it was a shiny blue/black plastic bowl. The results were horrible. In the end you are the photographer and this your photograph. I just offered and alternative view.
Fomapan 100 is quite a grainy film in 35mm, even in Ilford's ID-11 developer. It's also best rated at ISO 50, so I'm wondering if that IS Foma film, is it the same stuff they call Fomapan 100 Classic? You've got some great shots there mate, am loving those railing reflections!
I had many 135 rolls of fomapan 100 and enlarged 24x30cm wetprits prints. It really is a fine grained film, and I have no need for FP4 or anything else iso 100 in 95% of my shots. Do you enlarge, or scan?

Amazing, black-and-white scenes without even b/w film

I would melt in that heat 😂🔥
A very nice set of photographs ! An intriguing place. Beautiful railings and the reflections are tasteful. Well done on the vignetting.
Cheers Max
I like using the Holga in the rain where I don't have to worry about it getting wet. Makes great moody images. Great job on the images!
Yeah that is a good one for that! I have the 35mm TLR version
Totally agree. The look of the Holga and rainy, foggy weather complement each other rather nicely.
I nearly considered the holga!
Rain reflections look great but I don't like getting wet! Great prints as usual :).
Yes it's not something I'm comfortable with.
I wish I could figure out some kind of tentlike umbrella setup, because it's gorgeous out when it's wet.
Another good one, thanks!
I cannot remember who makes it, but there is a connector that fits on a super clamp that holds an umbrella that can be clamped to a tripod leg.

@@stefflus08 yes he did in the video of the old slate mine.
I need to look into this.
I grabbed some rain covers off eBay awhile back. Not all that dear, actually and they do the job well.
Universal?
Haven't tried them with my MF cameras, yet. They should do OK, though.
Who needs ordinary TV when we have you Roger... brilliant 😂☔
LOL! Cheers Malc
Poland today: over 30 Celsius degrees and absolutely no clouds in the sky .... I want English rainy weather.
The one with the walker works well as he is in a spot where a lamp post could have been. If that makes sense.
Once again, love your work on the pier in bw, enjoy your details to the whole video, great, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Another banger. My fav channel on TH-cam!
Cheers Barry

I think it helps the film community and manufacturers. It's nice the see where it comes from though
Now I want to go out and take some photos in the rain. Living in the UK I shouldn’t have to wait long…

I would bring my Konica Genba Kantoku for this weather, if I ever get so brave to get out in that weather anyway ;-)
Great stuff again bud!👍👍👍

Yeah I would have struggled with the prizm finder

@@perelandrauk Well it looks like he's exposing the image while fanning it. :/
Yep, he's dodging and burning chap, but keeps the tool moving so it doesn't have a hard line where the exposure changes
Yes I am wafting the paper to blow any dust, lint or hair that could possibly fall onto the paper during the exposure. As it was a long exposure it can happen.

Cool....i missing the smell of all that Stuff
Is this a video from earlier in the year or is this how your summer usually looks like?😁
As it is now
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss Meanwhile, it's 100 degrees and bone dry here in California.
Yikes. I know. Have a friend there asks me to send some rain over.
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss Please do, send some sensible politics with it and some brain too! thanks :D
Incredible :)

@@marcinfilip7405 I scan using a Nikon Coolscan IV ICE at max res. It's not just me, many find it to be grainy
@@lloydgarland4667 ill have a look at home, but pyro 510 delivers beautiful results with fomapan 100. grain is no issue.
Nikonos, anyone :-)
