Although I just saw this very informative video on pinhole photography, I appreciate the calm approach of the photographer, and this photograph. The camera, a Zero 4x5, is built like a piece of art, creating a piece of art. well done!
When I trained in scientific & technical photography (long ago) we were taught to always put the darkslide back in a little way before making exposures. So it sits in the slide holder. This has two advantages; it's easier to remember to turn the slide to show the 'exposed side indiator ', and it avoids the risk of light creeping in through the slot. Interesting video though.
Hi Martin I very much enjoy watching your videos and wished id had a go when I was a film photographer but at the time you could only get the info from books or photography magazines and to be honest I used to take 20 rolls of film each year at the time money was always the issue. Love your Channel thanks for taking us with you 👍🏻
I like the 3-cameras-in-1 design of your Zero 4x5 inch pinhole camera. I have to use three separate 4x5 inch pinhole cameras (53mm, 72mm, 120mm film to pinhole distance) to achieve what you are able to do with one camera.
Thanks Martin, I watched with a mug of Yorkshire Tea in hand and added a flat cap to my “things to buy” list for starting pinhole photography. Good stuff. 😊
Greatly enjoyed this video. Thanks. I also love to photograph derelict buildings, and industrial sites or railways using 4X5 or MF cameras, but sadly gaining access to them has become rather more difficult as years have gone by and some have altogether been fenced off or disappeared.
@21:15, it is the duty of the owner to ensure that they have taken all reasonable precautions to secure the building to prevent entry. As a retired Environmental Health Officer (Private Sector Housing). I must have served a few thousand on these in areas that were in decline and waiting demolition.
Absolutely brilliant! I am toying with making my own 4x5 Pinhole Camera. I was thinking of working around about 75mm focal length - is this wide enough for architectural/structural photography do you think?
Yes I have used the 25mm, that would be one panel, if you check out some of my other pinhole video's, you will see pictures taken at that setting, which I refer to as super wide, thank you
Because it’s film I have the option of both ways to print, at the moment I print through a inkjet printer and the main reason is I exclusively print on Matt papers which are difficult to get the look I want from darkroom Matt papers, the inkjet output using pigment inks creates beautiful velvet tones especially in the deep blacks, thank you for commenting
I have been stopped from driving due to medical reasons. I have an ONDU 35mm Pinhole camera. your video has given me a purpose. Thank you
Glad your going to try pinhole, enjoy
Great pictures Martin - pinhole photographs have a timeless quality. Stay safe
The resulting images were well worth the effort. Makes me want to get out and shoot a roll in my 6x6 pinhole!
Thanks Tommy,

Lots of excellent ideas

Thank you
Great video Martin ! As always making beautiful images even with pinhole. Congratulations from your followers in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video, hope you could understand my Yorkshire accent
Hi Martin, your accent is perfect and since English is not my language, as a good student, I always watch it reading subtitles to learn better.
Lovely images and great information
Thank you

thank you fine video great insight your shots yes timeless .ps old analog yank shooter
Thank you
A fine set of images, Martin. I wonder if you ever use the 25mm setting - that would be incredibly wide on 4x5.
Yes I have used the 25mm, that would be one panel, if you check out some of my other pinhole video's, you will see pictures taken at that setting, which I refer to as super wide, thank you
Great video Martin with a set of wonderful images. Do you print these in the darkroom, contact print, or digital output?
