I never realized wind turbines could make such great photographic subjects. I like the first one with the tires. I think I've only ever seen them in boring settings, unlike the amazing mountains and hills you have there. Great work as usual Paul. I can't subscribe again, but I've clicked the like button as always, lol.

Stunning images!

These pictures are probably very good from a purely photographic sense but they clearly show how these wind farms are destroying pristine countryside and like here in Australia in North QLD and other places Koala Habitat.

Will miss you Mr stirch Rest in peace 😢❤

Dad takes a good picture. Nice to help him have that experience.

Great work. Keep it going!

Супер!

Great advice, and yes, absolutely, leave the homeless people alone.

That first photo was well worth hopping the fence for, gorgeous stuff man!

Spot on mate. Great images again from the IR.

Great Video Paul, You are absolutely right about wind-farms being great to photograph! brilliant set of images, thanks Paul

Excellent use of infrared, love the shots, well done Paul!

certainly a contrast between nature and technology mate nice work cheers

Absolutely stunning 👀

The shots at 4:05, 4:21, and 4:46 are my favorite. The first two looking like a wave slowing moving across the sky. The third giving a feeling similar to being under water and looking up at the light hitting the surface.

Excellent shots Paul, oh and you picked up a new subscriber as well

What a beautiful set of images and video. One of your photos made it to Wikipedia as an image within the article titled: "May 2024 Solar Storms" so well done sir, well done!

Hi Paul. Bloody infectious these Spotmatic’s. I took a roll of HP5 in to be developed and on the way out I looked in the second hand cabinet and to my utmost joy, there was a Spottie F, bagged it quick as a flash, mint condition, came with a SMC Takumar 1.4 / 50 with filter and lens cap, light meter works, and timer functions $120 au. Now I have the SP and the F, I’m having so much fun using them it’s ridiculous. The SP has a 3.5 / 55 super Takumar, but I mainly use a 28 / 200 zoom on it, mainly because you don’t have to change primes. I was thinking on investing in primes though mabe just three to keep in the bag for tripping around. I was thinking a 28, and a 135 to go with the 50 and 55 I already have, your thoughts on those ? I noticed on my F that it has open aperture focusing, the SMC lens has an extra lever to accomplish this, the view dose not darken and the light meter functions, So I would assume to keep this function the lenses used for this camera would need that extra lever. I’m enjoying your stuff. Don’t forget if your ever in Sydney, shoot me message and we can have a pint!

I love your enthusiasm and approach in this video. If you ever have opportunity to upgrade to a Q3, the excitement just keeps increasing. I love my Q series camera.

Hey, do you have the contact of the guy you got it from? Im repairing one myself but I cant seem to find any spare parts for it. I would love to get this project rolling.

Nice video. The Bessa II has a lot to love, perhaps being the best 6x9cm folding camera ever made. The lens choices varied from excellent to outstanding. I shopped for one with the Apo-Lanthar some 40 years ago, but its price then, around $650 US seemed to grow faster than my budget. Last time I looked, some 20 years ago, they were over $2,500 and climbing fast. The Heliar is a 5-element upgrade from the 4-element Skopar. As noted in the video, the lenses perform about the same at best apertures, but the Heliar holds that performance at the wider openings. Frankly, with a negative size of 6x9cm, the Color-Skopar is more than sufficient. At first, I thought that the Bessa II in the video was modified to add the cold shoe on top plate, as the Bessa II didn't have one. Instead, they sold a little accessory shoe which clipped to the top of the camera. On reflection, and noting that the pins required to mount that accessory are missing (and would leave visible damage if removed), I think this is a very late version, where the Voigtlander factory installed the shoe. If shopping for a Bessa II, note its two possible issues. (1) The viewfinder/rangefinder is tiny and squinty by modern standards. That was the common style at the time. (2) Voigtlander used a particular design of strut system to erect and hold the front standard (the lens) parallel to the film plane. It is easier to physically damage, compared to the roll film folders from Zeiss, Agfa, and the host of Japanese copies of the day. If you find one with loose or bent struts, walk away. It is economically unrepairable.

The L3 is the lever actuated film advance version of the "VT" series, these being the last Canons which used the older style shutter with the slow speeds on a separate, front-mounted selector dial. Here in the US, we see the VT commonly, but the L bodies are fairly rare. You do not want to collapse that Leitz lens when on this body. You can do so on IV and earlier Canon models. The issue is not fouling the shutter curtain. With the VT, Canon improved on its copy of Leica bodies by adding baffling inside the body to further reduce lens flare effecting the exposure. When this type of lens is mounted on those bodies and the lens is collapsed, the rear lens barrel hits and can damage both the baffle and the lens. In the early 1950s, Canon made at least one collapsible 50mm 1.9, which optically is inferior compared to the later 50mm 1.8 he has here. Trade that 50mm Elmar for a nice Canon 35mm 2.8.

Great shots, and really helpful commentaries (here and your earlier videos) on the 9. I'm about to hit "buy" on a Dynax 9 in the UK. Looking forward to it 👍

Stunning shots! We are so lucky to get this in New Zealand!

Absolutely stunning.

Great capture, lovely video 👌

Absolutely amazing Paul!❤❤

Oh, wow! You've done yourself proud, Paulie. ❤

Absolutely stunning mate, apparently the scarlet red is one of the rarest, it needs to be a really intense storm to excite the high level Oxygen to give the red so you are really lucky with the sounds of it. Green is the first colour then through to the Purples, Blues and Pinks. We only had the greens and pinks but that was good enough for me. Absolutely awesome with the silhouettes of the trees

👌❤️👌❤️👌❤️👌❤️👌❤️

Great shots Paul !

Awesome AND the milky way - sublime.

Amazing, stunning and can't believe that the lights were that far North on the North Island.

Paul your accent is fantastic! But driving on the left side of the road felt so weird 😅 I’m in southern Alberta so we don’t have as many trees in the way of our mountains 😂 but I’m jealous of them!

Stunning! I would be like a kid in a candy store shooting that! I need to get up there this winter!

Beautiful scenery in New Zealand! I like the picture with rock in the foreground, it's also a brilliant portrait of yourself taking that picture 👍. New Zealand looks like Scotland in the mountains except we've nothing at that kind of elevation.

Good stuff thanks for sharing Paul

Another cracking video Paul thoroughly enjoyed watching it. I really love the Image of the “UFO”cloud it looks amazing in infrared. Looking forward to seeing you in your next Video 😎✌️

Hey mate your accent isn’t that bad! Why do you want an American accent in the first place? Your accent is unique and doesn’t get hidden behind all other American UA-camrs. I had (and prolly still do) an American accent and now I’m trying to learn Australian and Russian cuz they’re just cool. Embrace your accent!
