What sets you apart from all the other Vloggers is the effort that you put into your photography. Using awkward cameras then developing film and scanning. I'm nearly exhausted talking about it. The 'punchline' is the result - amazing images 👌
+ELTIN JONES Thanks Eltin. It certainly adds to the workload using film but it makes me work harder, I get lazy shooting digital and my images suffer as a result. For me fewer shots equals better shots.
I so enjoy your videos Steve: So envious of the walking trails and old buildings you have over there: Thank you so much for sharing, very much appreciated: I carry an old Agfa isolette folder with me now: Thank you again for sharing your beautiful photos and your knowledge so so appreciated:
Glad you enjoyed it Brian, we are lucky to have a lot of very impressive landscape within easy reach. I also like to carry a folder in my pocket, often in preference to small 35mm models thanks to the smoothness the extra image area delivers.
Steve, your videos are the only ones on TH-cam that I watch more than once. You make the countryside look gorgeous. It’s a huge treat to watch a photographic master at work. Thanks for sharing your excellent work: video and those beautiful prints from film.
Well, I thought that with that light, and nothing more than rocks, it will be a failure (as you call it in one of your previous videos). But again, it was a lovely walk, capturing stoning images, you have talent setting camera for really good composition. Thank you for sharing it.
It’s not until I’ve developed and processed the images in Lightroom that I know whether a shot has worked. If I find myself struggling with an image on screen for the first minute or so I usually reject it as I know I’ll never get it to work the way I want it. Images that quickly seem ‘right’ are the ones worth working on.
Great video Steve and some very impressive production work. It captured the day well and your shots are excellent. We had the first hard frost of this autumn/winter this morning and it made me think we need to get up to the Trinnacle in snow or hard frast. I particularly liked your shot of the Trinnacle and can imaging how this would look when the heather is in full bloom. One for next years diary I think and bring the Bronica.
+Robin Whalley Thanks Robin, perhaps we should look for a day over Christmas and get back up there, I have a couple of weeks downtime starting on the 15th. There was so much to shoot and it is such a change from the typical landscape photography hotspots.
Really like your pictures of the large format camera, looking forward to my outings with the large format camera when it arrives, and a must go place for me on my photography outings.
+David Gault Hope you enjoy using the big camera when it arrives David. I can highly recommend the area especially as it isn’t so popular with photographers - yet.
+Graham Clarke Hi Graham. For all my film work I prefer to work with a spot meter. On negative films I meter the shadows where I want full detail and make my exposure 2 stops faster than this. For example, if the shadow is 1/15sec @f/22 my exposure will be 1/60 second. To be especially safe I often take another shot with one stop more exposure which lightens the shadow areas even more.
Such a beautiful place, which is forever tainted by its terrible history. I see you’re still using the 4x5, has the 8x10 appeared yet? I liked the giggle when you decided it was Robins fault if everything goes wrong, and then you slipped in the next scene. Your image of Trinicle Rock is amazing, anyone would be happy to have that on their wall. What ISO was your Portra please? I’m using some 160 on my Bronica at the moment. Great video Steve, and I must get myself a drone so I can see the places I can’t get to. You should have at least ten fold the number of subscribers you have, but rather ironically it isn’t always the best photographers that get the most subscribers.
+Mark Harris Thanks Mark, so long as people like the videos I am content with however many watch them. The 8x10 hasn’t shipped yet and I am champing at the bit shoot with it, 100% black and white initially. The Portra I use is 400 and I love the colours although 160 is especially good if muted hues are desired.

Fantastic work Steve. Really do appreciate you sharing your wonderful stories.
Thanks Rick.

Your drone work and footage is mixed in perfectly. You don’t overdo it with the drone footage, it is there to compliment the content.
+gsansoucie Thank you, I try to keep it simple.

Thank you Larry.
Your trips with large format are always a treat Steve. Some great images as well.
+Bill McCarroll Cheers Bill, it was a bit windy at times but the camera still performed well.
Dear Steve, Great locations and great shots.
Thanks Eef.

another great episode from the master himself
Outstanding video and landscapes. The look of the Ektar was impressive in those overcast conditions. Always inspiring work, thanks!
+Richard Shedd Thanks Richard. I find Ektar to be better when the sun isn’t shining (it doesn’t do blue very well).
Another engaging video with my favorite photography, film. Beautifully done. Thanks for sharing.
+Tony Blackwell Thanks Tony, it was a very enjoyable day and I hope to get back there in December.
Got very excited when I got the notification of a new upload, great work again Steve!
+SweetActivity glad you enjoyed it 😀
Wow really nice video and fantastic photos !
Thanks Lars.
Hi Steve, I like the movement in the heather and I've made a note of this location for next August. Thanks.
+Andrew Chattaway It could be busy up there next year 🙂
Outstanding vlog Steve. Loved the Trinacle - stunning location!. Must get to that part of the world some time soon.
+Mark Day Thanks Mark, there are lot of locations up there that don’t get the attention they deserve.
Quality.. loved the Trinnacles. Thank you
Thanks Michael.
Nice camera. It's true that the camera may see things our eyes may not, given the right exposure - even on darker or dull days.
It’s not until I’ve developed and processed the images in Lightroom that I know whether a shot has worked. If I find myself struggling with an image on screen for the first minute or so I usually reject it as I know I’ll never get it to work the way I want it.

Very true. It can help rescue a damaged or poorly processed negative though.
Again great images you produced. Congrats on your personal take on every frame you make.
+ladduro Thank you 🙂
Thank you Steve, really nice images particularly as the light wasn't the best. you did well.
+Elzbieta Arno Thanks Elzbieta
Last two shots are awesome Steve! I cycled through this part of the uk last year, such a brilliant place. Love your film photography vlogs!
+Chris Rigby Thanks Chris, it is an underrated area.
Superb photos... got some ideas for my next trip out among hills
Thanks Colin, hope you have a good outing.

Brilliant Steve. New to photography and this was an inspiration. Some amazing shots.
+Wilderness Timmy Thank you, I hope you manage to get out and capture some great images.
Enjoyed the video, good compositions, great colors and tack sharp!
+MrAquabug Thank you.
Great video as always. Thanks!
+Spencer Pullen Thanks Spencer.
Trinacles looks like an awesome place! Enjoyed the video very much! Watch out for those slippery stairs :P
+Gaetan Cormier Thanks Gaetan.
The first Trinacle image is wonderful
Thank you.
Beautiful images
+Edward Lee Thanks Edward.
Beautiful images steve
+David Pearce Thanks David.
Good one Steve.
+Joe Davies Cheers Joe.
enjoyed this video a lot. how do you take your exposure with these shots
+Graham Clarke Hi Graham. For all my film work I prefer to work with a spot meter. On negative films I meter the shadows where I want full detail and make my exposure 2 stops faster than this.

thank you. I am defiantly getting out with my GS1 and hassi this year. Whats left of it. many thanks for your videos
very nice steve

Steve O'Nions oh you’re getting the 8x10 too? I haven’t even gotten a 4x5 and now you will have me coveting an 8x10 too.
+gsansoucie Hehe.
Watch that first step, its a lulu ;0)
+Dosh Doctor I was impressed at how well the gimbal kept the image steady, in reality I was all over the place 🙂
