I've been waking up early a lot recently to try and take some photos at sunrise, but I've been discouraged many a morning by clouds blocking out the horizon, and then usually just end up going back to bed. Seeing as how phenomenal your photos turned out with the sun interacting with the clouds, I can see I've been thinking about it wrong the whole time!
It wasn't the best sunrise for a colour shooter. But as I was leaving the sun got a bit higher and the clouds were quite stunning. I guess it's worth sticking around.
Hello, once again great video. That already happened to me with Ilford Delta 100. I've contacted Ilford, and sent them the batch numbers and they confirm that the film was faulty. They have a statement on their website about this issue.
Early morning, men's bathrobe, coffee, rooster crow - excellent, sir! Taking off my hat! With you I learn English and learn the skill of a photographer!
Great video. Not only you are entertaining but very educational stuff. I like the look of the Delta over the Tmax. Thanks Roger for your hard work. Take carer. Robby.
Truly beautiful photography, Roger. These are just the sort of photographs that I love. I think that the photo of the woman walking on the beach could have worked. There is something really special about the silhouette photo of a human on a beach. I have had similar problems with 120 rolls of FP4 Plus. Just a few months out of date that really should not matter at all. It is the dreaded ' snow flake ' emulsion fault. Dare I suggest that in this day and age of cost cutting and surviving on the knife edge, the QC of a lot of reputable companies have taken a hit? I work in a factory manufacturing sensitive electornics machinery, and I can tell you the pressure that everyone is under to cut costs and not put everything through lengthy and detailed tests, is quite considerable. Years ago I worked as a tech support for an importer of some really highend US made telescopes. The Chinese bought the parent company out and all of a sudden the supply of spare parts ( mostly main control boards ) trickled to zero. I was told that they preferred to use the boards for manufacuring and not for spares. They reduced the QC to next to nothing, because it was cheaper for them to replace the whole thing rather than invest in lengthy and expensive QC and Compliance procedures.
Thanks Lensman. It is interesting when someone says what you said about the silhouette of a person that walks by in my videos. Yes, it would have made a nice photo. I don't have that on my mind at the time but after you think.... Maybe next time I should go for a sunrise beach stroll looking for just that. Wouldn't have to get up so early either ha ha. I've seen airbrush investigation programs on cutting back. Not good!
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss The intro music reminded me of the movie Apocalypse Now. I remember going to the cinema to watch it with my girlfriend in 1979, I believe. Man how time passes so quickly.
Great video as always. The wooden structures at 3:00 are called groynes, they prevent the waves carrying sand along the beach, so more sand builds up in that section of coastline. This creates a larger beach and also prevents coastline erosion.
Yes Roger I had this / your problem with a rolfilm I left in my RB67 for 5 months half exposed . It has nothing to do with the film but how it is stored . It was a very wet summer in the Netherlands thats why I had this problem of light gray spots on my film . Now I put a sock with some dry rice in my camera bag's to prevent this problem . Once a while I put the rice in the microwave for five minutes to dry the rice again . There is than a lot of steam in microwave ...... But it helps , I never had this problem again . Peter .
Another fun viddy ... funny thing is i grew up with a house at the jersey Shore in New Jersey, USA and never took any photos of it!!! Now I wish I did!!!
Roger I always take my 35mm film straight out of the freezer or refrigerator and load it and shoot with no problems but I have a commercial developer do my film.
Love this video Roger defiantly one of my favourites must of been very peaceful, really interesting about the film in the freezer aswell I keep mine in the fridge can't wait for the next one
👍Couldn't think of a more awesome start to the day here in New Zealand (Freezing at the mo) than watching Roger perform 😁 Always entertaining and informative.
Well done Roger getting up so early, but well worth the effort, special time of the day. Can’t help with film problem, but certainly think you should have a word with Ilford, if only to solve the mystery. Loved the shots of the groynes with the reflections, and the ones looking into the sunrise with the reflections of the sky. Entertaining intro. Ha ha.
Interesting. Trouble is we never know the journey from the factory to the shop and then to you via the postman! I read a story of Kodak Film Stock being stuck in a hot transit truck for days and it all got defects from moisture. Not sure how true the story is but makes sense.
Got the same issue quite a few time with HP5 . I am located in Singapore and the printshop was telling be it's related to the conservation of the film before / after shooting the moisture etc. very annoying I screw up quite a lot of shoot because of it. The shop owner was telling me it happen more regularly with Ilford... Taking the opportunity to thank you for this great channel !
Thanks for another fab video. Always enjoyable joining your shoots via UA-cam. I’ve seen that kind of mottling on FP4 a few years ago, and I couldn’t figure out why it happened either. Curiously reading comments here.
I had the same problem with Delta 100 in 120. It was a known issue and Ilford issued a statement about it. From memory it was to do with the backing paper. The statement instructed affected customer to contact them and they would send out replacement rolls, which I did. I can't find the statement now, but they have a product feedback section on their website and I expect they would still send replacements.
Some great pictures of those breakwaters. You say that you exposed for the shadows, did you "pull" the development as you mentioned in a previous video?
No not on this one Malcolm. I developed Normally. All I did was spot metered on an area where I wanted to see detail (which would give me middle grey) and then dialled into the camera a couple of stops darker. The meter probably said 4 Seconds at f11 and so I dialled in 1second at F11.
Had the same issues with Pan F+, spoke to Ilford and apparently a run of big batch was faulty, they listed this on their blog and website. I sent the lot back and Ilford replaced the film.
I use old cd's or dvd's to prevent the tripod from sinking and there is apps for your phone where you can calculate "reprocity" times, Illford has one....cheers!! :)
I recently had extremely similar with some foma 100 120. Have no idea what it was! Was new film, developed soon after etc. Couldn't figure it out Also love the intro!
Never used 120 film myself but I have heard that a lot of people have had problems with foma 120 film. I guess their quality control is just not as good. (which might be expected since while there is nothing wrong with their films (usually) there is something less you get for spending less money.)
I've had the same patterns on Ilford Pan f 120. Not sure why and can't remember if I had frozen and thawed it. I've stopped using Pan f because of that particular problem. I've never seen it on any other film that I've frozen and thawed.
Some great shots there, well worth getting up early for! Photography is like fishing, the best times are early doors and dusk before darkness. The breakwaters coming in from an angle really reach out to me, as does 'footprints'. I am getting there, my old F3 Nikon and Pentax MX are filmed up, I now have a Minolta 6x6 and Mamiya 6x4.5 pro to delve into medium format, the Minolta is the Autocord TLR, a bit like your Yeshica TLR.. I have my Paterson Paragon 35 up and running minus the timer, I have a Jobo one on eBay order coming Saturday. The Paragon will only enlarge 35mm so dunno how I will tackle the medium format, maybe try to get a Durst like yours... Its all good fun
Yeh I had a similar problem with 120 Fomapan 200, except the marks where tiny straight lines. It was also developed in 510 pyro, but there was no problem when I developed another roll in FX39. I put it down to pressure from off the film rollers, but who knows, Very strange !
Hi Roger. The shot of the steps in the sand is absolutely gorgeous, almost insuperable. Only that dressing gown looks slightly better! May you let us know time, temperature, dilution and agitation when developing the t-Max with pyro?
Thanks. I was surprised at how nice that shot came out too! Dev was semi stand. 1:100. 20 minutes with 1 minute inversions to start and one inversion halfway. 20°. Stop with water, fixed with Fotospeed FX30.
Another cracking video Roger when I need inspiration I watch some of your videos thanks for what you do I and many others appreciate it the only Kodak film I tend to use now is Tri- X most other film is ilford or Potsdam
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss yes I know you told me lol that’s why I bought it as I couldn’t get Orwo pre packaged only in bulk it’s such a nice film thanks for your advice and help 👍🏻
I had the exact same defects on 2 rolls of HP5… 1 developed and scanned at home and another in a lab. From the lab they told me it seemed moisture but both rolls hadn’t been in any kind of freezer and my home is dry…
I've experienced the problem with Delta and Hp5+. Both times it's happened I've contacted Ilford and they've sent me replacement film. However they couldn't give me a reason. I started to think it might be from loading film into a camera when it comes straight out of the fridge, rather than letting it come up to temperature inside the foil before loading it.
Good video, I see you are also using the Beschoi m284 tripod..mine has some grease seeping from the bottom of the slow pan head section. Went out to shoot a sunrise yesterday and got some on my hands/camera/ lens caps. Have you had this happen to you? If not it’s going back to Ryde! Cheers
You got it from camera shop in Ryde eh? No, mine doesn't seep fluid. But I've had to lube the legs as one got stuck. Good sturdy tripod and I've battered mine!
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss Thanks for the reply, actually from Newport just before they closed, same company as the one in Ryde so it’ll go back to them if it keeps happening! Enjoying the channel keep up the good work!
I was so so waiting for you to do something like this - I was expecting to see you do some selfies in your undies on the beach - if you get a chance go back and do some clips from the festival in the style of Woodstock The Movie - yes my shelf looks like yours on the intro -- awesome Roger
Just keep it in a cupboard away from heat. Normal room temp is fine. I only keep film in the fridge if it is nearing its sell by date to be honest. But it doesn't hurt keeping fresh film in a fridge. You can shoot it straight away from the fridge but if it's frozen let it thaw for a few hours.
The Delta 100 is my film of predilection and I have shot many, all Delta film I use is coming from my freezer and have shot those in winter and summer conditions but I never experienced something like you did
Thought for a minute you might drive off there and still be absentmindedly wearing your dressing gown!! :) :P Great pics, as usual. Though, you wouldn't get me up at sparrow fart. I like my sleep :) Plus, I'm not much of a morning person.
Have exactly the same issues with this artifacts on my Ilfords. Already few time, with HP5 and delta400. To eliminate my errors while developing I did send few rolls tona lab an got the same artifacts back. So I think this has to do something with the storage in the refrigerator for a longer time. Only got this artifacts on older rolls an when I shoot them very close after taking them out of the refrigerator. Can't explain what's going on...
Just curious, did this happen to you with 120 film, like most of us, or did you see it on another film format? Thanks! I'm asking because Roger mentioned that he found the speckles on the backing paper.
@@hansjzeller Both, paper and film. A lot of little white dots on my negative. After this I stop to put the film in the refrigerator and consume it on time. First I didn't notice the dots on the paper because usually you don't look at this paper after taking the film of.
I also had a similar problem seven years ago with two new 5-packs of TMax 100. This is the first time I see someone else having this issue. It never occurred to me that the backing paper could be part of the problem. I tried many things, including having the film developed by a professional lab. Nothing helped. I still have two rolls left, let me know if you would like to do something with them.
I am going to use the remaining rolls in my holga more than likely Hans or for any photography where you want see it such as rough woods or buildings. Thanks, very kind but try that
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss, thank you very much for the suggestion, I like it! Also, in my case, the "snow" as I call it, shows up mostly in the sky and when I increase the contrast. For your entertainment, here is one of my pictures that show the problem: hjzpublic.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/photos/shared/N110_03lr.jpg. Thanks very much for sharing your experience with this problem and for your videos in general, I always enjoy them! One more thought: I wonder whether the other people who had the same problem also used 120 format. I'll ask them in their comments. That would be a strong argument that it really is the backing paper, as you say. Here is a link to the "Ilford Measles" that oldtownpaul mentioned: www.ilfordphoto.com/statement-120-roll-film. This also says that the problem happens only with 120 film.
I had a similar problem a couple of years ago using Ilford FP4, and it looked exactly the same as your Delta film. Coincidentally it was while I was on the IOW, and I was using a Voigtlander Perkeo 1 which I'd bought from The Cow Shed whilst on the island. Initially I thought it was a fault with the camera, but I'd also shot some Portra 160 with the Voigtlander, and this was fine. It transpired that there was a faulty batch of Ilford film. To Ilford's credit, they'd already acknowledged the problem, and after I'd emailed them some scans of the faulty images, they sent me some replacement film. It may be worth your while speaking to them about it.
Sunrise is so cool. The most stunning pic I have seen is a slide by the uncle of my ex-wife directly into the sun in the woods. Only time I had issues with film it was big spots on FP4 I kept in the fridge. So I'll never kept film in the fridge again and I have had no further issues.
My friend who got me going with a brand new Konica t3 owned a hardware store. He didn't wake up in a house coat and instant coffee. He went down to the hardware store before dawn and cast a small nut on a fishing line across the street. Over and over and over. People talked about hearing the whir of the real and investigate the odd sound realizing it was Angus Sorenson with another used rod and reel he was rehabilitating......he had a police scanner and would bribe the women who answered emergency calls for the sheriff and police to call him next. He ALWAYS! Had the shot to sell to the paper. Usually much more fresh and immediate than the groggy newspaper types that may have shown up. Shot them with one of those monster cameras nrwspaper photographers used when they had one suit pocket of new bulbs and the other with used bulbs. We used to go through file cabinets of 8*10 pictures going back to the early 1940s. I thought he was a great, great man. You standing there in your night gown at dawn reminded me him.
That looks exactly like the fucked roll of FP4 I had last year, not sure if you recall my comments on that. Ilford said it was a manufacturing error with the backing paper leeching into the emulsion. Your film is expired, and that press release came out around 2020 so I highly suspect your roll would be involved in that incident
If you get in contact I'm 100% sure Ilford would still replace them for you, assuming you have the box with the lot number, and/or a scan of the negs. They are awesome when it comes to customer service
I think this video should have started with - "Warning! This video contains scenes of a dressing-gown nature and may not be suitable for those with a heightened fashion sense" ;)
Quiet moments like that are always special! Great shots!
I've been waking up early a lot recently to try and take some photos at sunrise, but I've been discouraged many a morning by clouds blocking out the horizon, and then usually just end up going back to bed.

A great sunrise/sunset is better with some clouds.
Lovely photos of the groynes and love the print of the footprints, Roger!
Great video, always fun to watch your adventures, mishaps and the great results.

The Delta 100 is my film of predilection and I have shot many, all Delta film I use is coming from my freezer and have shot those in winter and summer conditions but I never experienced something like you did
Glad you haven't Nelson!
Thought for a minute you might drive off there and still be absentmindedly wearing your dressing gown!! :) :P Great pics, as usual. Though, you wouldn't get me up at sparrow fart. I like my sleep :) Plus, I'm not much of a morning person.
I need you to be my script writer. That would have been hilarious walking around the beach in a robe
I'll throw a tea towel over your shoulder as well, just for good measure :) :P
Have exactly the same issues with this artifacts on my Ilfords. Already few time, with HP5 and delta400.
To eliminate my errors while developing I did send few rolls tona lab an got the same artifacts back. So I think this has to do something with the storage in the refrigerator for a longer time. Only got this artifacts on older rolls an when I shoot them very close after taking them out of the refrigerator. Can't explain what's going on...
Just curious, did this happen to you with 120 film, like most of us, or did you see it on another film format? Thanks! I'm asking because Roger mentioned that he found the speckles on the backing paper.
@@hansjzeller Both, paper and film. A lot of little white dots on my negative. After this I stop to put the film in the refrigerator and consume it on time. First I didn't notice the dots on the paper because usually you don't look at this paper after taking the film of.
@@p.9608, thanks very much for letting us know! I'll check my backing paper next time I use one of these rolls.
I also had a similar problem seven years ago with two new 5-packs of TMax 100. This is the first time I see someone else having this issue. It never occurred to me that the backing paper could be part of the problem. I tried many things, including having the film developed by a professional lab. Nothing helped. I still have two rolls left, let me know if you would like to do something with them.
I am going to use the remaining rolls in my holga more than likely Hans or for any photography where you want see it such as rough woods or buildings. Thanks, very kind but try that
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss, thank you very much for the suggestion, I like it! Also, in my case, the "snow" as I call it, shows up mostly in the sky and when I increase the contrast. For your entertainment, here is one of my pictures that show the problem: hjzpublic.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/photos/shared/N110_03lr.jpg. Thanks very much for sharing your experience with this problem and for your videos in general, I always enjoy them! One more thought: I wonder whether the other people who had the same problem also used 120 format. I'll ask them in their comments. That would be a strong argument that it really is the backing paper, as you say. Here is a link to the "Ilford Measles" that oldtownpaul mentioned: www.ilfordphoto.com/statement-120-roll-film. This also says that the problem happens only with 120 film.
Ouch! Yes I see. Beautiful photo however
I had a similar problem a couple of years ago using Ilford FP4, and it looked exactly the same as your Delta film. Coincidentally it was while I was on the IOW, and I was using a Voigtlander Perkeo 1 which I'd bought from The Cow Shed whilst on the island. Initially I thought it was a fault with the camera, but I'd also shot some Portra 160 with the Voigtlander, and this was fine. It transpired that there was a faulty batch of Ilford film. To Ilford's credit, they'd already acknowledged the problem, and after I'd emailed them some scans of the faulty images, they sent me some replacement film. It may be worth your while speaking to them about it.
Yes I heard about an Ilford issue recently. Glad you got some replacement film. Mine was a few months out of date though,
Sunrise is so cool. The most stunning pic I have seen is a slide by the uncle of my ex-wife directly into the sun in the woods.
Only time I had issues with film it was big spots on FP4 I kept in the fridge. So I'll never kept film in the fridge again and I have had no further issues.
I don't fridge my film for this reason. Cheers Arne
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss Cheers Roger!
Gorgeous shot at 9:21, Roger. Also what model tripod is that?
Cheers Joe. It's a beschoi tripod m284
See? Told ya he had his coffee!
Wonderful vid. What tripod are you using?
I think it's called Bencho? It's wasn't expensive.
Roger never leaves the house without his Calvins.
My friend who got me going with a brand new Konica t3 owned a hardware store. He didn't wake up in a house coat and instant coffee. He went down to the hardware store before dawn and cast a small nut on a fishing line across the street. Over and over and over. People talked about hearing the whir of the real and investigate the odd sound realizing it was Angus Sorenson with another used rod and reel he was rehabilitating......he had a police scanner and would bribe the women who answered emergency calls for the sheriff and police to call him next. He ALWAYS! Had the shot to sell to the paper. Usually much more fresh and immediate than the groggy newspaper types that may have shown up. Shot them with one of those monster cameras nrwspaper photographers used when they had one suit pocket of new bulbs and the other with used bulbs. We used to go through file cabinets of 8*10 pictures going back to the early 1940s. I thought he was a great, great man. You standing there in your night gown at dawn reminded me him.
Isle of wight!
Doesn't your missus mind you wearing her dressing gown? Great vid as always, Roger. I wish I had your discipline for getting up early.
Naaaa, she wears the trousers 😂
Thr groynes are not to stop wave breaking over roads 😂, they are to stop agrigate momement
I bet your family thought of shouting the same at you making so much noise at silly o' clock in the morning! 😂😛
I did hear a whimper from the neighbours LOL
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss what about from the people in the flats near where you were introing a bit? 🤣
They just threw rocks at me Jimmy lol
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss I don't bloody blame 'em! I probably would if you were shouting outside my window at ~4AM! 🤣🤣
“Shut up, you cock!” 😂
Epic video. You’ve outdone yourself with this one.
Lol
That looks exactly like the fucked roll of FP4 I had last year, not sure if you recall my comments on that. Ilford said it was a manufacturing error with the backing paper leeching into the emulsion. Your film is expired, and that press release came out around 2020 so I highly suspect your roll would be involved in that incident
Possible Dane, yeah I do remember you saying that now. And the story. Mine being expired is a waiver lol
If you get in contact I'm 100% sure Ilford would still replace them for you, assuming you have the box with the lot number, and/or a scan of the negs. They are awesome when it comes to customer service
I think this video should have started with - "Warning! This video contains scenes of a dressing-gown nature and may not be suitable for those with a heightened fashion sense" ;)
LOL!!!
Love the into Roger . Really made me laugh . Excellent work . Another
Great interesting informative Video as always.
Lol, cheers Clive
