Nice to see you back!!!
Great to see you shooting film again,great video and images,very enjoyable content.
Thankyou, glad you enjoyed it. It’s been great using film again, much more therapeutic
The first photo is great!
Thank you
Nice work! It’s useful that Lee talks us through the process. This channel should grow a good following.
Thank you James really appreciate this and glad you enjoyed the video
Very fun. That meter will never let you don't. I always add 1.66 stops for orange, and just pick some good stops and have at it. Great shots too. Thanks for posting it.
Yes it’s an excellent bit of kit. Thank you and glad you liked them
Excellent video, Lee, nice to see you again with your film camera. I hope you'll be back soon sharing another adventure. Cheers, Sorin.
Thanks Sorin 😀 Definitely back with more soon
Lovely images
Thank you 🤩
Nice video Lee…that camera setup looks great! Well done mate…great to see you again…keep it coming! Be safe, Cheers..
Ah Thankyou glad you liked this. Lots more to come
Old spotmeters are so great. I have a Minolta spotmeter F too and it has given me great results, nice highlight metering for slides. For negatives I love Pentax digital spotmeter where I can see EV values on display while viewing and I think I sometimes prefere it to my more modern Sekonic 758 that can also give readings of changing values.
I've had someone interested in my 4x5 too, a photograper I think. He was very impressed under a look with darkcloth. When you have something bright like F5.6 it is a wow when you see it all and see it so large.
Nice photos. For some reason I think architectural center composed 6x17 shots work often while I hate them in most other non-panoramic formats.
Yeah it’s a great meter very simple to use too and accurate.
Interesting thoughts on architecture, I’m planning on a few architecture shoots with 6x17 but need to be very selective on subjects
@@LeePengellyPhotography I guess rules of third and similar make you include some surrounding? With 6x17 you almost always are forced to have them anyway. Never thought of that before and I may change my mind later on from the initial thought :D
@@hoggifDefinitely needs some extra thought, I need to get a longer focal length soon thinking of 150 or 180mm for a tighter crop for this
@@LeePengellyPhotography With 4x5 and 6x12 I use mostly my 90 and 150mm. (my 65 is too wide for my style). I have a 210mm too that I've very rarely used because with 35mm film being a 35-50mm guy I find it so long.
I recently got a 120mm to fill the gap. between 90 and 150. Do I need one? Nope, I could crop but I hate cropping and want only very slightly cropped images for no reason.
With panoramics you need to also consider the height. With something like 180 you are with half the height of 90mm image. Especially without movements that is easily an issue unelss shooting on flats that you seem not to.
@@hoggif I’m treating never thought of this on the height issue, need to give this some thought
Not bad photo... has pretty strong vignetting and the contrast is very high. I think i would of pulled it in dev to get more shadow detail personally. Ilford 100 is lovely, but it has limited dynamic range.
Thanks Steve
Might try some Delta 400 or HP5 next
I was thinking the combination of a red filter, an nd filter and pushing one stop might be over-kill but I liked the end result.
I recently received a Chroma Six:17 too and have put a few rolls through it. Loving it so far, but I think the 90mm lens I have might be a tad too wide for most applications. I think you mentioned in a different video that a couple of small pegs at the bottom of the film holder will improve things and I agree, especially with Ilford spools as in my experience they tend to want to pop off more than Kodak ones. I also find the Ilford backing paper to be slightly too thin and harder to roll around the take up spool without it slipping, something I haven't experienced with Kodak backing paper.
Yes I really wanted to boost the contrast, I was concerned about the harsh light more than anything but worked ok.
Totally agree on the film winding issues, Kodak and Fuji don’t have any issues but as you say the Ilford can be a bit tricky. I’ve started to wind on but keeping tension on the film spool knob on top whilst winding on, seems to help more
@@LeePengellyPhotography I've been sort of helping it along by pushing down on the take up spool to stop the paper slipping, and once I get the arrows almost one third across the back, I rotate the film spool back a bit too tension everything up nicely.
@@ehsanesbati Good idea. I had a few issues at the start using the camera due to this plus like an idiot I wound a few rolls backwards 🤦🏻♂️ thankfully the lab I use managed to save them
@@LeePengellyPhotography Were you turning the take up knob clockwise?
@@ehsanesbati 😂 yeah 🤦🏻♂️ I was caught up in the moment of the shoot and completely forgot !
Really enjoying the new camera, Lee. As always, the b&w work is spot on!! One question, what kind of colored filters are you using? I have looked everywhere for the r g y o filters in 100x100. I’m having no luck. Thanks.
Thanks glad you’re enjoying the videos.
I’m using a Lee red and orange filter, they’re slightly thicker than the Kase ones so a bit tricky to get in the holder
To do all again would you choose a different focal length or maybe go for a 6x12 instead? Or are you totally happy with your choices.
I would like to try a 150mm and stand further back for the frontal shot but happy with the first image as it shows it on its isolation
@@LeePengellyPhotographyfirst is a great image and I enjoy your video's.
Im thinking of buying a 6x18 and would do similar photography to you just wondering if you would change anything about the camera setup.
Thanks.
@@letmebereal Thankyou. I would like to add a couple more focal lengths say 180 and 150mm, also ideally a centre filter but they are so expensive 😬
You were here in the snow yes ? Lee
Yes a few years back now, happens rarely up there now sadly
