Sarah is turning these events into a full-fledged project. I love working on things like this rather than chasing images on the streets. While street photography can be rewarding, events naturally let a narrative unfold in ways that random moments on the street simply can’t.
I wholeheartedly agree.. this was surprisingly good and interesting! I just wish the photos were a little bit more contrasty!! Hehe. I myself am NOT a fan of Street Photography. Glad to hear someone who pretty much is on the same page as I.
Just absolutely love the channel and the photography as well as Sarah’s infectious personality which obviously helps to put her subjects at ease. Also love seeing the contrasting weather and scenery compared to my current abode in the Southern Hemisphere.
As a novice photgrapher, i feel like I've learnt so much from this video, thank you. The way you walk around, chat, put people at ease, and sieze and capture the moment is amazing.
I enjoyed watching that as a photographer who is part of a farming family. Some great images there , and the audio & video feed is just great. Exactly like it is.
What a great way to end the season! When that scene started to unfold with the girls in front of the fence surrounded by cows I was so excited for you. What a magical scene! Wonderful shots, Sarah!
I’m amazed by the photos you make from the scene in front of you. I’ve even started to try and imagine the result a moment before it pops up - yours are always better!
I really like your style, Sarah. Great eye. I notice that the highlights are very well controlled (not blown out) in these images. Is it that this particular model doesn't have the tendency to blow them out (as do many other Leica M models), or that you adjust exposures (-1/2 or -1 stop or ...) to compensate? Am looking to buy a used M TypXXX or M10 (not decided on exact iteration yet) but the clipping of highlights is a real concern.
Jeff here. I do all of the editing for both of us. In my experience, the m240 holds highlights very well. With the m9 Monochrom which we both use, it only has centre weighted metering which when combined with the 28mm is pretty good in terms of exposure. Add in -1/3 stop compensation and we can hold highlights easily.
I’ve heard a lot about Leica cameras but never used them. You’re using a digital camera, but it sounds like a film camera. Is that the usual Leica sound or a setting? Thanks.
Are you using a 28mm external viewfinder because the camera doesn’t have bright lines for 28mm? Wonderful photos btw, I recently subscribed and look forward to all your new videos.
Thank you. Our next video will go into the viewfinders, gear etc in more detail but basically it’s easier to use the 28 with a viewfnder on the digital cameras.
Normally the 28mm lines are very far to the edges in the built-in viewfinder, even though the M9 already sports a 0.68x finder compared to the standard 0.72x on film Leica since M2 and digital since M10. One more thing is the external finder is usually much brighter than the built-in one, easier to see the whole composition at one glance. Focus on 28mm is not really critical for its inherent large DOF, and most of the time one can approximately know the focus by feeling the position of the tab.
The Romsey Agricultural show fenced off the shire horses when they weren't in the show ring so you couldn't get anywhere near them, very disappointing. It's all fast action at these events with little or no time re composition.
Wonderful! Beef is so crucial in our lives. Sadly, it seems your British government along with many European countries, are working to make events like this history.
I think there’s a lot of issues with farming at the moment. Brexit caused huge problems for farmers here. Supermarket’s driving prices down didn’t help either. I also think the appetite for beef isn’t as great as it once was. There has definitely been a drop in breeders attending shows like this over the past few years.

She’s been photographing shows for about seven years. Hoping to put a book together in the near future.
The amount of bangers in this single video is craaaazy. Great job Sarah.
Thank you!!
Good morning, and thank you for sharing. It’s keeping my photographic juices alive. 😀🥳😎
Thanks for watching!!
Another cracking video, love the quality
Thanks very much 🙏
Superb images and great compositions. Loved your subjects. Thank you, Sarah for sharing! Poor girl who was terrified by the cows. Well timed capture!
Thank you 🙏

Thank you. Yes that doesn’t happen very often.

Thank you 🙏 Everyone sees differently. Even when I shoot alongside Jeff, we always get different photos.
Fabulous compoded photos, plus the lighting and clouds were on top form too.
Thank you so much 🙏

Fun visit to the county show. Thanks for sharing. 💜✨👍
Thanks for watching.
No fan of these country shows but Sarah turns them into something very entertaining to watch, with some great shots as a result!!
Thank you!!
Great set of pics. Most of us would not know about such fairs or events taking place up north.
Thank you
Wauw all these shots are amazing!
Thank you
Great documentary of an interesting segment of British life.
Thank you so much
Superb images, Sarah. I can only dream of my eye, and brain working like yours does.. 😄😄
You are very kind. Thank you
Great work!
Thank you
Great primary colours for colour prints as well !
Not in our world!!
Hi, Andrew here originally from Bolton but now in Ottawa Canada 🇨🇦
Another great video and the photos are awesome
Great work
Thank you. 🙏
Great images looks like a book in the making 😊
Funny you should say that 😉
Beautiful frames here
🙏🙏
Thanks again! Do you have a favorite capture?
Probably 5:23 but that might change 😉
Hi, great video. So pleasing to watch. Were you using a red filter? Those clouds were beautiful.
Thank you. Always a medium yellow with the Monochrom cameras.

It’s an old technology digital Leica so it sounds a bit like a film Leica with a motor winder. The modern ones don’t sound like this at all.
I know Alice uses a Lecia monochrom but 3:08 is screaming to be in colour. Great shots from the show though. Enjoyed it.
Sarah, not Alice. Walk Like Alice is taken from a famous quote by Tony Ray-Jones. Glad you enjoyed the video.
@@WalkLikeAlice Sorry, I dont even know why I said Alice. Brain fart moment. 😅
Haha. It’s fine. Happens all the time.
hello. great work! I want to ask, do you use zone focusing?
Thank you. I always manually focus when shooting these events. 🙂
Are you using a 28mm external viewfinder because the camera doesn’t have bright lines for 28mm? Wonderful photos btw, I recently subscribed and look forward to all your new videos.

Hi in terms of stats during this shots which was the focal you used most? Or is a tie?
28 until the goats at the end of the video.
Thank you I never fell in love with the 50 but with 35 or the 28 was another story 😊
Nice video technique
🙏

Yeah it can happen. A couple of the shows we were at earlier in the year were quite restrictive.
可爱的马、牛、猪拍的很棒
