Shooting Art Deco Buildings with an Intrepid 4x5 and DayI 6x17 Back…. Kodak Gold 200

In this video, I will show you how I shoot Art Deco bus buildings with Kodak Gold 200 film, an Intrepid 5x4 camera and a DayI 6x17 back. Art Deco is a style of architecture and design that emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, influenced by geometric shapes, exotic motifs, and streamlined forms. Art Deco bus buildings are examples of how this style was applied to transportation and movement, creating elegant and functional structures that reflect the modernity and dynamism of the era. Some of the most notable Art Deco bus buildings in the UK are the Victoria Coach Station in London, the San Remo Towers in Bournemouth, the Bus Station and Clock Tower in Seaton Carew, and the Streamline Moderne tram shelters in various locations.
Kodak Gold 200 is a color negative film that has a warm and nostalgic look, perfect for capturing the beauty and charm of these historic buildings. It has a fine grain, good exposure latitude, and natural skin tones. The Intrepid 5x4 is a lightweight and affordable large format camera that allows you to use different lenses and movements to create stunning images. The DayI 6x17 back is a panoramic film holder that lets you shoot 6x17 cm images on 120 or 220 film, giving you a wide and immersive perspective.
In this video, I will take you through the process of finding and photographing some of the best Art Deco bus buildings in the UK, using Kodak Gold 200 film with an Intrepid 5x4 camera and a DayI 6x17 back. I will also share some tips and tricks on how to get the best results from this combination of film and camera.

A leap back into photography after a few years out, this time with a difference
Before I lost my passion it was all about the mega pixels and sensor size, and I became all consumed with getting "the shot", instead of enjoying the location, the walk, the company, this time however its different, its about the adventure and going back to the beginning, relearning film in 35mm, 120mm medium format and 4x5 large format.
If you enjoy the great outdoors, then this is the channel for you, I offer free walk guides to suit most, photo/walk guide coffee table zines, limited addition photography prints, and photo books
Each print is limited to 50, and will be numbered and signed.

Love the pano shot of the bus shelter with all the people in. Works perfectly. Well done .

[@andyemmett9930]

Thanks Graham, they were amazing, we had some much banter going across the road… I’ve always been nervous about shooting people but when you have amazing people like that it makes it so much fun and makes me want to do it more

[@tedphillips2951]

Love the people in the photo!

[@andyemmett9930]

Thanks Ted, appreciate the feedback, sorry it’s taken so long to get back to you

[@robinhope3009]

[@IntrepidCameraCo]

Very nice!

[@andyemmett9930]

Thanks Intrepid Camera 😁 always appreciated 👍 I will be stopping by for a new camera in the new year 👍

[@eltinjones4542]

Ditto to the first comment 😂📷👍

[@andyemmett9930]

😂😂😂 thanks Eltin

[@I-SelfLordAndMaster]

I love that photo with the people absolutely sharp and popping. How do you rate your 6x17 roll film back? I am looking to purchase a 6x17 back for my 5X4 camera on a budget the Chroma 6X17 back as far as I’ve seen is full of light leaks so that is out of the question.

[@larrywilliams5708]

Loved the photos, but was afraid you were going to get hit by a car while filming…they looked awfully close! 😬

[@andyemmett9930]

Thanks Larry, I was a little nervous especially when the buses drove by 😂, the issue was that a guy on a mobility scooter kept driving up and down the path so I had to set the tripod up as close to the road as possible so he could get through

[@larrywilliams5708]

Haha, I hear ya Re the buses… stay safe out there!

[@synlfo7828]

Love it. . I would have used BW and gotten there early early to get consistent light across images. I am on a project atm and I get up for dawn to get the same light and sky. Tiered I can tell you hahah
