Filming a Pinhole Photography Shoot with the DJI NEO Drone
First time heading out with the DJI Neo to capture my pinhole shoot down at Cuckmere Haven.
Join me as I take the DJI NEO drone on its first outing to document a pinhole photography shoot with the Harman Titan 4x5 at the stunning Cuckmere Haven. Using the drone to track and film my movements, it felt like having a second person on set-a fantastic addition to my photography kit.
In this video, I blend modern drone technology with the timeless charm of large-format pinhole photography, sharing behind-the-scenes moments and creative insights from the shoot. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and follow along for more photography and filmmaking adventures!

      Thank you, Peter. I appreciate your feedback and agree. As I was coming away from the shot, I was questioned myself about the foreground. While it turned out better than expected, I believe I could have approached it differently, even to make the graffiti on the wall a more prominent feature in the image, not much else about for foreground interest.

    Good to have you back Will. Tried posting on your blog post but it wouldn't allow me to post my comment so adding here instead. The photo of the pier is spot on, but I do like the castle and weather vane photos equally. I managed to get a really good photo of Bodiam Castle over the summer on my Lerouge66 that I was totally chuffed with. Of the images the MIA 4x5 seems to produce a softer image than the other pinhole cameras. Is this generally the case? I ask as I've been toying with the idea of getting into large format pinhole, and the MIA seems like a cheap way in.

    • @WillGudgeon
      @WillGudgeon 22 дні тому

      Hi Russell, Thank you. My blog seems to be a bit hit and miss with commenting, it gets a lot of spam comments so everything gets held for me to review, but not all comments seem to come through, confused. Bodiam castle is beautiful, anywhere I can see your image? The Mia is normally pretty sharp, the one of the castle did get a bit of movement from a gust of wind, the other I seem to be getting a few light leak issues which doesn't help. If you were looking into Mia, they are a good price, Ive had a lot of success with the normal 4x5, the modular is great but mine seem to leak light a lot.

    Some very good images. I’ve made every possible mistake in using 4x5 film holders, so now I usually record their use using the “film shots” app. This allows me to record the film holder ID (assuming they are labelled) alongside a reference phone shot and any relevant details such as filter used or EI rating. Since there is a deliberate effort involved to track the exposures, double exposures should be less likely.

It's very much a personal choice, I like the wide pinhole cameras which is why I went for the 35mm, but 50mm is a great alrounder and still wide. Mia does do the 4x5 moduler which has a couple of different Focal lengths, but I had loads of light leaks from the holder when I tried that one.

    I think the problem with digital is the sensor size. In order to capture a wide enough range you need to get way closer to the sensor, and the pinhole size is a function of the focal length. Hence, the pinhole has to be so small that refraction dominates. I wonder though what would happen if we use a medium format digital sensor though? Anyway, nice review
