Weird Photo Walk to a 200 A.D. ruined Roman Fort! Let's Quest!
Join me for a stunning landscape photography walk around ancient Reculver in Kent, a site steeped in 1800 years of history! In this video, I’m shooting a roll of Kodak Portra 120 film on my Fuji GF670 analogue medium format camera, while my friend and former channel guest Paul Bence explores the area with his Hasselblad 907x digital medium format camera.
Together, we capture the haunting beauty of Reculver’s ancient church ruins, dramatic coastal scenery, and breathtaking landscapes through the lens of two iconic cameras-one analogue, one digital. Along the way, we discuss landscape photography itself, what makes a good landscape, I drop some film references and somehow are manoeuvred into...

Questing: Marshland Landscape Photography on a Mamiya RZ67
Просмотров 327День назад
This video was filmed exactly one year ago today on the 6th January 2024. There's some ancient marshland I always drive by that I'd wanted to photograph for ages as part of my 'Arthurian Quest' landscape photography project on my Mamiya RZ67. It was a very cold day and I enlisted the help of one of my girls, who was 4 years old at the time, to help me document 'the questing'. I think she did gr...

    There are very few, genuine professionals on youtube that share their knowledge not to be popular but because they want to share it. I know one Optics expert that shares his knowledge on lens design who dies incredible work and has a lot of views.. I think there is interest in genuine advice from professionals, but flashy „content“ is just more popular making the actual good advice much harder to find. My hope is that people will stop wasting their time with social media and „content“ creators, and just do their own art.. So many could be great minds are seeminly forever trapped in a mindless gaze onto the screen.. scrolling endlessly with no objective.. just looking, getting some sort of satisfaction from things that speak to the primitive side of our brains.. completely bypassing any chance of creativity, activity or just relaxation.. The new generation is doomed to not only back and neck pain, but also to an immense lack of ability.. And art, the actually good stuff, will almost die off, with AI crap flooding the internet, and less people actually able to do things themselves… Oh man.. i shouldn‘t think about these things at 1am…

    Wishing you all the best for 2025. Sadly, there are a lot of muppets who think they know everything about photography. For me, the reality is the older I get, the more I realise how little I know about photography, and how I need to be more open to different ideas and styles of photography. Whilst, there is a lot of dross about, I do also think there are some absolute gems on RUclips: The Photographic Eye is a great example. I respect Alex as a photographer, and he is very knowledgeable and is able to get over information really well. The same goes with Ted Forbes, who is really likeable and enthusiastic about photography, and Alex has a superb knowledge of photography and photography. The other thing I love to do is look for interviews with photographers, and also see how photographers shoot. SHOWstudio is a wonderful resource where you can see interviews, shoots and a whole host of other things, within the world of fashion and photography. The skill is finding the right sites, and whilst it is easy when you know a decent amount, it is challenging for someone who is just coming into photography.
