    Man, the look of that pushed CineStill is rad.

      It’s pushes really well, I was expecting much more grain considering it’s been pushed 2 stops. It does give lovely contrasty images 👍

      No problem it’s a great film, just a little bit pricey. I think I will keep an eye out for sales.
      Many thanks Tom 😊

    Lovely gritty photographs, Tom. The one @ 10:10 is outstanding IMHO. Yes it is a motion picture film rated @ iso 250 for daylight and it has beautiful tonality under suitable lighting. It is actually not a Kodak film, but Eastman. Eastman Kodak released their motion picture films under the Eastman brand, and still photography films under the Kodak. I am not sure who makes this film now, as the still films are produced by what is now called Kodak Allaris. I wouldn't personally push this film. I have had great success with it rated @ iso 250 and developed in HC 110 Dilution H. The film is also very very sharp.

      Thanks very much it’s great to get so much information on the film. I will definitely try it at 250 next time, if I can part with £12 a roll. It’s just too expensive which is a real shame.
      Many thanks Tom 🙏

    You are doing good work. Really enjoying your videos. The first shot of the church at the beginning was really lovely. Some of the waves with the light through the clouds too. You deserve more subscribers

    Winter has come and you have put your winter coat on ready to wrestle with the weather and the ocean. I am familiar with this rain-sunshine situation and find it rather annoying. It has now become pointless to shoot the typical iso 400 film so I have resorted to digital these days which is ridiculously convenient. I am planning to buy a roll or two of the Delta 3200 and see if that will work out. You are much more enthusiastic and patient than I am and you reap accordingly. I think the best cemetery photo is the winner this time. 🎉

    • @tomwhelan
      @tomwhelan  Год назад +1

      Thanks Helgi, it’s my favourite time of year for Photography, I would definitely recommend Delta 3200 it’s great in low light. Digital certainly makes life a lot easier but I find I can’t slow down like a do with film. Happy shooting 🙏

      @tomwhelan  Год назад

      Thanks very much David I think it would be way too much with the red filter, it’s such a contrasty film. I thought it actually looked liked I had a red filter on.
      Many thanks Tom 🙏

    Interesting film choice. I don't think I'll try it though, too expensive for me. On the hill side, when you took your hand off the tripod, I half expected the tripod to topple over. Excellent images, especially down at the surf.

    • @tomwhelan
      @tomwhelan  Год назад

      Thanks Alfred it’s definitely an expensive film. I did have the tripod blow over, luckily the Mamiya landed on the grass. It could have been a disaster if it landed on the rocks.
      All the best Tom 🙏

    • @lensman5762
      @lensman5762 Год назад

      I agree. It cost over £12.00 for a roll of 120 in the UK. More expensive than Kodak Portra 400, that has gone through 4 stages of price rise in the last 18 months.

    Love the high contrast of this film Tom. I've been inspired to try analogue B&W again after watching your efforts. I've just purchased a Tank, sorry a Zenith TTL intending to slow the pace down and think more carefully about every shot. 👍

    • @tomwhelan
      @tomwhelan  Год назад +2

      Thanks very much, It’s a lovely contrasty film. I love how film slows you right down. I’m a bit of a madman with a digital camera, running around everywhere and not getting any good images. Enjoy your new camera…happy shooting

      @@Sidchasingclassiccars I would try and do it yourself, if your not printing in the darkroom you won’t need an enlarger. Patterson starter kits about £70 and chemicals about £30. You have so much control how your negatives are developed. If not Peak imaging online is excellent and very fast. There are places in Truro and Penzance that do develop if needed.

      @@tomwhelan The nearest B&W processor I found was in Plymouth. They did a couple of rolls of FP4 for me about 8 years ago and the results were awesome. Think I'll farm my processing out to start with and see how it goes but you are correct in saying that one has a lot more control over the finished print by DIY.

    Hi Tom.
    Great video down at St Michael's Mount.
    How did you find the Cinestill XX film? It's one I would like to try, but it's one of the more expensive stocks.
    Does it give that movie look and high contrast look, or do you feel it can be achieved with other brands.
    Thanks
    Graham

    • @tomwhelan
      @tomwhelan  Год назад

      Hi Graham it definitely does have a distinctive look which I really did like. You could definitely get close with other film stocks for under half the price. I think it’s a film I will be using for special occasions.

      It’s certainly been a stormy start to November here. I hope you have captured some lovely images. I’m hoping to make it up to Wales soon. It’s such a beautiful place to photograph.
      Many thanks Tom 🙏
