Thank you for another great show. The trip to St. Kilda looked amazing but I wouldn't fancy it in bad weather! I would love to know how Marcus discovered the location for his shot. It seems so far from civilisation to have been happened upon by chance. Initially I didn't fancy the cyanotype article but after watching it I'm glad I did - it was fascinating. Just shows you should always keep an open mind!
Hi Alan. The answer to your question is that I have explored every corner of the main island of St Kilda, so it was inevitable that I found the viewpoint. Thanks for your kind words about the cyanotype. We try to offer something more than just the obvious mainstream content. All the best (Marcus).
...once again....what a show...thank you for this...don´t know what it is, the breathtaking atmosphere of St,Kilda or simply the fun the team might have to present all this to us... Even for the records...since the start ´til now...still the best photography channel format on YT.
wow that was a wonderful show thank you ruth and team what a treat to see all the views and i hope the TRIPOD gets found all the best from trev in sussex stay safe and well please
Excellent as always. BTW you're not restricted to the size of photographic negatives for cyanotypes, my wife gained her Associateship of the Royal Photographic Society with a panel of 15 A4 cyanotype flower prints. She shot the flowers digitally uploaded into Lightroom and Photoshop for mono conversion and post processing then inverted the images and inkjet printed them out onto A4 inkjet film (designed for OHP's if you remember them!) which she then used to create her cyanotypes.
Hi Simon. We never said you were restricted to size - we said the size of the print has to be the same as the negative. We’ll be printing negs on a future show but we wanted to keep it simple for the first one.
Another brilliant show. Really enjoyed the section on cyanotype printing, reminded me of the time I used to able to do my own darkroom work in the 70s. Alas no longer have the room.
What an incredible place! Similar landscape to here in Newfoundland, yet much more beautiful in St. Kilda. Really enjoyed this episode, I enjoy them all, but this one just a wee bit more. Thanks so much for sharing!
Looking forward to when you're able to travel again...curious to see your artistic perspective on desert landscapes. God bless you all and thank you for your amazing videos
3:19 "...piercing the wild Atlantic Ocean." A wonderful turn of phrase and true as well! Is this a day return trip? How much time do you get on St. Kilda?
You can go on a day trip which would typically give you around 4 hours on the island, but I camped overnight to allow me to be on location when the light was good. You need permission to camp and it becomes expensive as you have to pay for two boat journeys.
Less than two weeks after I added monopod sections to my tripod to gain extra height, you come out with this... My problem now is the step ladder - nobody makes a carbon 2-step travel ladder (yet). I still have 3 upper sections from monopods and access to a machine shop...
You guys (and Ruthie tooooo) just keep getting better....love the last few minutes with Ruthie in front of that beautiful Fall colored tree....beautiful....look forward to the next installment.....Cheers from California....and Happy Thanksgiving.....
Great show. The St. Kilda shoot was really interesting. I was fascinated by the work Marcus did on the negatives to make that contact print. I think I will give that a try with my old Pentax 645.
Hi, I love your channel on TH-cam. All the presenters come across as being down-to-earth as well as being knowledgeable. Keep the wonderful videos coming and thanks for making photographic content enjoyable :-)
Great show again, makes Sunday’s worth looking forward to. Like the idea of a camouflaged tripod without having to add the sleeves. St Kilda is just other worldly, hope to get there one day.
Another wonderful show, but with one caveat - It looked like the UV light was still on when Marcus opened the door of the lightbox after 35 minutes. I think that you should remind the viewers of the danger of UV light, especially to the eyes. cheers - Alex
@@PhotographyOnline Thanks for the explanation - much appreciated! I used UV lights when I was at University and had to take precautions - not only for my eyes as you can well imagine, hence my concern. I hasten to add that I'm not too afraid of the sun, other than staring at it for any length of time and keeping my head covered since my hair disappeared! Cheers.
Hi Jonathan. The printing frame was just ordered online but ended up coming from the Czech Republic. The one I got could be a lot better but it just about does the job. I think a vacuum frame is probably the way to go. Hope this helps.
Great show as always, really enjoyed St Kilda and the Ananlogue printing, not to mention the Tripod section (hope Harry finds his), I personally bought the INNOREL RT90C Carbon Fiber Tripod from Amazon, similar to Kingjoy at 2/3 of the price, so far so good. thanks again for a great show, regards Trevor
Great content again. Well done Marcus on the St Kilda trip. Do I get the impression he does not really want to get the shot so he can keep going back and trying? 🤣🤣🤣 That place in on my bucket list = amazing!
Yet again, another amazing show, particularly liked the St. Kilda segment, looks absolutely stunning. Noting that Marcus was taking a panorama while there really peaked my interest, as pano landscapes is my absolute favorite thing to shoot. Pano shooting, and maybe HDR panos (easy on the HDR bit) would be an interesting feature to see how you would recommend going about this, especially with a minimal HDR part to it. Thanks again for another great show.
Hi Alan. Great to hear it was useful. I assume you’ve checked out our 2 panoramic shows we did at the beginning of the year where we went into detail about shooting panoramic stitched images? We didn’t cover HDR as that would have been too much info for a single feature but this may be useful to you if you haven’t already seen it. Thanks for watching and for your continued support.
Hi Marcus, I'm at the point to invest money in two new tripods. Today I got my new lightweight travel tripod from Benro, the Tortoise Carbon tripod which looks identical to the Kingjoy C83 Travel/Compact Tripod. I absolutely love it. It's lightweight and compact. But, in the near future I also consider to invest money in a bigger tripod and I was wondering which model you are using in this video. I noticed it has four carbon sections in stead of three which I could find in the shop. Sadly most models are out of stock, but that will probably change in the near future. Last sunday I watched the new video and also invested in large 3 Legged Thing Stilettoz spikes. Thanks for the tip. These tips will give me more grip on the beaches, dunes and stones along the Waddensea coastlines.
Hi Gert. The tripod I use in the show is the A86 which we do have in stock. It has 4 leg sections and it very solid. The other alternative would be the C86 but we won’t have that for at least a couple of months due to manufacturing backlogs. Thanks for watching.
There are much easier and cheaper and more flexible ways of doing cyanotypes than was shown in the programme. Kits for cyanotype are available on eBay and Amazon. You can use your digital image, turn it into a negative in software and inkjet print on OHP film to give an A4 negative, for example. Instead of a printing frame you can use two pieces of glass and clips to hold the paper flat. It does not have to cost £100 and you can get cyanotype images form your digital files.
Marcus forgot to mention the most important bit of kit in his camera bag - the pork pie!! Although I was mighty surprised to see other food items in there too, I'm a little disappointed that it wasn't just more pork pies ;-)
@@PhotographyOnline I think there could definitely be a small featurette about "what pork pie is Marcus eating on this trip?" Plain, pork and pickle, etc... Niche? Definitely! But the MC2 Live viewers would get a giggle :-) Great video as always. Really looking forward to seeing more of the film developing features :-)
Cracking show yet again. The St Kilda trip is magic. Just curious as to how Marcus got from St Kilda to the island where the shot is from - does the boat go there too. Many thanks for what you do with these presentations, they are the best around in my opinion.
Hi, St Kilda isn't an island but a group of islands or archipelago. The main island of the St Kilda group is Hirta - which is the largest island in the group - and that is where I believe Marcus was to get his photo.
@@PhotographyOnline very enjoyable. You asked for questions ~ printing! I use Nikon Z 7 II, Lr & it’s print module. I print with EPSON P800 with roll because I find photomerge panoramics stunning. I only print occasionally (dual monitor calibration with Spider on MacBook Pro). Actually “sizing for print I eventually get but it’s a faf. I use Fotospeed paper. Paper profile. Can you help in this aspect please?
Great show once again and I can honestly say I have learnt so much from you guys over the past year. A big thankyou and long may you continue. Question are you producing a calendar this year?
Hi Norman. We aren’t doing a 2022 calendar because we haven’t had the time needed to ensure it is good, but we’ll certainly make sure we do one for 2023. So for now, you’ll have to get your usual Justin Bieber calendar!
Hi Richard. The paper used was Hahnemuhle Platinum Rag 300gsm, but a better paper for cyanotypes is Bergger Cot320 but I couldn’t find this in a big enough size (even though it’s made in the right size). The tests I’ve done with the 8x10 are great.
great show! You know what? erverybody is talking about Marcus´s Tripod head or some other equipment, but here´s something really funny: I can tell you the name of Marcus´s armchair he is sitting on in analogue affairs: It´s called Marcus too . How funny is that? So ask me, why i know that. I tell you the answer: My name is also Marcus and i have the same armchair...but my one is better, i have the leather version😂😂
Just thinking about Marcus’ dilemma in not being able to capture the seabirds in his shot and wondering if he could solve this problem with some focus stacking, combined with the time lapse to achieve the goal? Say using the shot he took with another at F4 with fast shutter speed to catch the birds then combine?
Hi David. This is Marcus. Thanks for your suggestion, but even at a wider Aperture, the exp time would still be well under 1/500, so it wouldn’t solve the issue. Also, I try not to interfere with a scene of nature, and using a shorter exp time to record the birds would end up having to clone lots of them out from overlapping frames, so this isn’t something I would ever do. Of course, this is just my own moral philosophy rather than something which is right or wrong. Thanks for watching.
@@PhotographyOnline fair enough, hope you get the shot ur after one of these days, however, as long as you don’t, I guess it gives you the excuse to keep going back to enjoy that fantastic scenery and bird life.
Hi Chad. It has to be a cotton rag paper so that it absorbs the chemicals into the paper. It’s easy to find and not too expensive. Glad to hear you found it interesting.
Wonderful episode. I particularly am interested in the tripod head Marcus is using with the pinch handle. What is the name or where may I order one? Love the Kingjoy carbon tripod too.
Can anyone in this community give me some advice. I currently have a Nikon d750 with a 28-300mm lens. I am looking to get into wildlife photography but I just feel this lens isn't enough to get close to any birds etc. There are bigger lenses out there but my budget won't stretch that far. So my question is, should I sell my gear & reinvest in another camera with a bigger lens, or is there any alternative lens I could go for if I sold my 28-300mm. I would like to remain with a full frame camera. Please delete if asking this is the wrong place ask. Thanks.
No, because the chemicals have to be absorbed by the substrate. You’re also relying on the brightness of the substrate to give you your highlights, so glass would only work if it was back lit by a white panel (assuming you could get the chemicals to be absorbed).
Hi Amit. Thanks for watching. We’ve already broken our monthly 1 hour show into 2x 30 min shows, so we don’t want to split it again. Also, we’ll have another monthly show starting soon which will then fit in nicely between our usual shows. All the best.
Thank you for another great show. The trip to St. Kilda looked amazing but I wouldn't fancy it in bad weather! I would love to know how Marcus discovered the location for his shot. It seems so far from civilisation to have been happened upon by chance.

I’m new to watching you; stunning place indeed. Pano really good, must watch out for you again ~ I’ve just subscribed so here’s hoping
Welcome to the channel James
@@PhotographyOnline very enjoyable.
You asked for questions ~ printing! I use Nikon Z 7 II, Lr & it’s print module. I print with EPSON P800 with roll because I find photomerge panoramics stunning.
I only print occasionally (dual monitor calibration with Spider on MacBook Pro).
Actually “sizing for print I eventually get but it’s a faf. I use Fotospeed paper. Paper profile. Can you help in this aspect please?

Was that just regular paper that Marcus used or was it special paper to get the cyanotype print? Very interesting and a neat idea to teach us.
Hi Chad. It has to be a cotton rag paper so that it absorbs the chemicals into the paper. It’s easy to find and not too expensive. Glad to hear you found it interesting.
This is nice ! :)
Thanks
"the less visible you are the better", he says wearing a bright red jacket :)
Obviously Harry wasn’t stalking otters or eagles when presenting to the camera!
Wonderful episode. I particularly am interested in the tripod head Marcus is using with the pinch handle. What is the name or where may I order one? Love the Kingjoy carbon tripod too.
Hi Dean. The tripod head is a Manfrotto 322RC2. These aren’t made nee anymore but you can get them used on eBay etc.
Marcus ....What make was the audio recorder you had in your camera bag...?
Hi David. It’s a Zoom H6. Had to use that over a smaller model due to needing phantom power.
Nice video
Thanks
well now that we know where the location is, all 10,000+ of us will see you there. 😁
Don’t worry - not many people will be able to get there. As it is, less than 20 per year make it. That’s probably not going to change.
The biggest problem i have with this show is you announce it will premiere 2 days in advance and then I have to wait for it.
Patience is a virtue!

Great show as always. I've got to get one of those Goliath tripods!
We have 2 available if you really do want one. Just email us, as it’s easy to miss messages here. Thanks again for watching. All the best.
Why not upload in 4k?
A few reasons, but we may upload in 4K in the future, but it’s not practical for us to do so now. Most people don’t know the difference.
can cyanotype be used on glass?
No, because the chemicals have to be absorbed by the substrate. You’re also relying on the brightness of the substrate to give you your highlights, so glass would only work if it was back lit by a white panel (assuming you could get the chemicals to be absorbed).
Cracking show team!!!!! I NEED a cammo tripod..... 😂 ......great stuff 😉😎👌
You know where to get one!
OMG Puffins! God is good!
Yes they are great birds. Thanks for watching
Great video as usual! Suggest you break it into 2 15 minute chunks to account for the internet attention deficit disorder ;-)
