HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- In this episode of Photography Online, the team attempt to get a shot of a lighthouse at exactly 9 o'clock and 10 o'clock. We look at the best ways to sell your unused photo equipment, and we take a very large camera out into a very large landscape in very specific conditions. Among the topics covered in this show are shift lenses, painting with light, filters, long exposures, composition, depth of field, exposure, using a light meter, lens movements, and much more.

So wonderful! Thanks so very nuch!
The Analog segment was very interesting and informative. Thanks Marcus for keeping the art of film photography alive.
@@davidkrye it’s a pleasure to do so David. Thanks for your support.
While on holiday from Australia, we stayed at Balblair on the Black Isle, the owner of the B&B recommended Ffordes, it is a great shop. 7:45 - It's not always good to look up an old friend.
Marcus, watching your segments always make me pine for the days when I had a darkroom in my basement.
Glad I can bring back a few good memories for you. Thanks for watching (Marcus)
GREAT TO HAVE YOU ALL BACK, GIVES ME SOMETHING TO LOOKFORWARD TOO ON AN OTHERWISE BORING SUNDAY :D
Thanks for watching.
Awesome show as always
Thanks Eugene
The ‘kilt’ incident had me in stitches and the analogue affairs section was really interesting. 👍
@@peternickols2687 glad you enjoyed the show. Thanks for watching.
Enjoyed the show. The challenge was very interesting and had some good technical problems.
As always, a great show! I’d love to see more about the EV values and settings both for digital use and with the spot meter
Harry, amazing the selling of the 500 prime! I put mine up for sale last week. Hard to compete with handholding the rf 100-500 (even if I give up a little light)
Best to you all!
@@cguerrieri4866 - we have a 2 part feature all about EV values on its way!
Always a pleasure, informative and entertaining. I don't know what was better, the wind gust And Marcus' "oh God" or Harry's, "it's cold". Loved the lighthouse shot!
Cheers! Thanks for watching.
Thank you very much for this show. It was a pleasure to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your contunued support.
Sports photography with this monster 😮 … don’t say it out too loud. Ruth may be listening and have you guys another challenge. 😂 … this was a very interesting video. Both in terms of the lighthouse shots and the very large format photography. Looking forward to the next episode. 😊
I only watch this for the Film Photography section. Love 💕 it. If i owned a 8x20, i would definitely make a windsock out of a latex condom and the wire from a coat hanger mounted to the side of the tripod.
Great program, again very useful and informative
Glad you enjoyed it
That 8x20 negative must have a mind of it's own. How cool are those ultra large format cameras.
It's a great camera to use Peter. Feels like proper photography. Thanks for watching.
Brilliant show Team PO..
Thanks as always Craig,
The latest challenge that is sponsored by Accurist seems to be a fun one. At the end of the challenge it would be interesting to review the metadata from all of the pictures to see how close the actual times are to the proposed nominal. Yes some critical set up and maintenance ot camera time and date.
@@johnhunter5939 - hi John, thanks for your comments. Looking at the metadata wouldn’t reveal anything about the time taken, as the metadata only takes its reference from the camera’s clock - which can be set to anything. We used 3 different digital cameras (all of which will have a slightly different time set) plus a film camera - which obviously has no metadata.
Each photo was taken exactly on the hour - according to the phone calls we received from Accurist.
We will certainly review all the photos on PO Live once the challenge has been completed, so you can watch this to find out more.
Many thanks for your support and we hope you continue to enjoy watching our channel.
All the best
Having been a bit critical of last month's episode I want to say that this time it was superb. I'm pleased that the challenge so far is less silly than last year's in the way it is presented - nothing wrong with a bit of humour. Marcus' "very big camera" section is excellent. Has he seen the black and white paper reversal process with which @the120ist is experimenting?
@@simonmeeds1886 hi Simon. Glad to hear this show was more to your taste. Let’s hope we can keep that up! Yes the paper reversal technique is very interesting, but the problem is that you end up with a back to front image - which obviously has limitations to its appeal.
Enjoyed the ULF segment. I didn't realise until now that the location also features on the front cover of OMD's 'Organisation' album!
Didn’t know that but good to know
Great video 🙂
Thank you 😁
I understood every word, like the cows, my nephew has them in Alberta.
Next challenge: Escape Rooms?
Seeing the beautiful Sligachan area again, where we've been lucky to visit twice, made me wistful about Skye, and Scotland in general. That lonely red phone box north of Portree might start ringing, like the end of 'Local Hero'. (We're not ashamed to be slobbery American fans of that movie.)
love the watches
Yes they are very classy and very reasonably priced too.
I was brought up in the era of film photography but I must admit I am totally bemused by the, as Ruth said, ‘ridiculous’ 8x20 camera. The negatives would be capable of extreme levels of magnification but at any normal viewing distance this level of detail would be completely pointless. I am genuinely totally confused as to its use case or how you would enlarge such a negative. To contact print it, would seem a waste. I’d be really interested in learning how Marcus makes use of the power in those 8x20 negatives.
I do like the idea of large format photography and the slow process.
@@stuartblink hi Stuart. This is Marcus. I chose the 8x20 format for a very specific reason. I wanted negatives which were big enough to contact print via alternative processes such as kalitype or cyanotype, but small enough to carry in a backpack up a mountain. You can’t enlarge an 8x20 negative, as there biggest enlarger can only take 8x10. You could scan it in sections and then stitch them, but this doesn’t interest me and I do agree that would be pointless.
I hope this helps to explain the madness?!
Thanks for watching
@ Marcus, thanks for the reply. The journey is often more valuable than the destination. I still think it is a very strange destination but I totally can see your enjoyment in the process.
Hi, from France
As a photography educator myself, while I touch on general buy/sell places, I avoid discussions of used gear sales without balancing it with photography sales.
You risk perpetuating the stereotype that a photographers value is only in their gear.
I am wondering, what will be the equivalent resolution of the 8x20 in the digital world?
@@gjokekocev8989 it comes down to many variables, so it is difficult to say for sure. However, if scanned at 2400dpi, it would give an image which is about 50,000 pixels wide, which is 4 times that of a GFX100. And you could easily increase the DPI of the scan.
i agree with Harry that selling via Social Media, especially FB marketplace, I lost money becuase of a scammer, so I would warn against that method, but I have sold several lenses via 'reputable' dealers, but in every occasion they have said that there were problems like fungus in the lens, or 'signs of ware or minor damage so they offer a lower price than first quoted, knowing that its too much hassle to have it returned and then resend somewhere else, Its difficut to argue that they are telling you the truth and not just saying that to save themselves money, all too risky in my view because you'll never make enough.
We used Ffordes because we know them and can trust them. In fact, you can trust them even if you don't know them!
I sold digital and film equipment last year and found them very straightforward to deal with.

Marcus- Interesting phone viewfinder- which one is it? Thanks
The app is called Viewfinder Preview. Blue icon with fingers framing a phone
Thanks for replying. Do you want a job?!
@@PhotographyOnline Sure, If I get to touch Marcus’ 8x20 as a sign-on bonus
God damn Harry why now why not half of year later I would for sure take that 500 f4 from you for that price :D
I'm sure you'll find another one for a similar price.
@@PhotographyOnline Need to go to UK in Poland they are around 2700pounds for mk1 :( m2 is around 3700 here
Harry how do you handle and a wife and 4 girlfriends!??!,😂
@@nickwass8764 gently
I love the big camera ! ❤🩹
Yes it is great to use, and the photos which come out of it are amazing.
@@PhotographyOnline How do you scan them? Drumscanner or something else?
@ they are too big to scan in a single pass. I don’t know of a drum scan that would be big enough anyway. The only time I make a digital copy is to show them on the show. Other than this, they simply get contact printed, so no scanning is necessary
@@PhotographyOnline Well, I've seen pictures of big drum scanners. Perhaps one of the readers will chimp in and show us a link to a company who can do this?
