Black and White Film Photography with the Leica M6 & Ilford HP5+

So glad I stumbled across your channel - I'm doing film vids my side as well! (Subbed)

Were the street images pushed as well? Also, what developer was used?

Nice video, try HP5+ at 200 on a bright day with a yellow filter (+1) with a 20% reduction in development.

interesting video!

after shooting film, how do you get the pictures in digital form?

For the first time I just bought Ilford HP5 Plus. I also, put it in an old film camera Pentax Spotmatic II. Have a few M-42 mounts! Anyway I am test all this out. Not light meter in the camera. Using Sunny 16 rule. Besides the Pentax I have a Mamiya/Sekor 500DTL 35mm film camera M-45 mount. Not impressed with the B&W kodak 100 I shot in it. And the meter works. I don't know how accurate it is? Thinking now I need a light meter. Like your work. I will looking for more videos from you.

new subscriber here. love these photos. i just got an m6 but haven't broke it in yet cause i'm
still waiting for my lens to arrive. do you find that the sekonic meter is more accurate than the m6?

also i'm gonna pick up a roll of hp5 soon it's been a long time since i shot with that film

Why does everybody seem to make like shooting black and white is so hard, special, and magic? I shot a ton of it when I was a kid. I also shot color. I had fun with both. Just get some and get to it. Go have fun! Lets all just enjoy the ride!

Color is always about color, however, b&w is always about subject ! Great pics, you have a creative eye. Thanks, Rick…..

Very nice photos with the Ilford HP5 & Leica camera. Plan doing something similar with my Leica M3 with its Voigtlander Nokton lens & Gossen light meter. When I see these photos, it inspires me to get out and start shooting more street photos. B&W film conveys a mood and atmosphere and these photos demonstrate that.

Great photos! Keep it up. I was only wondering wheter you compensate for pushing up the film by two stops by developing the film for a longer period?

What role does the camera(M6) play in the results?

BW is about straight simplicity. That case of gear totally superfluous. One lens, one camera. Lens hood/shade. Never rush. Each frame a possible print! Load M6 in dark. 2 more frames. One developer for at least one year. Do not uprate film/push. Know film speed really about 250 ISO as same as Tri-X without the curling. Bravo Ilford. Leica can be used at slow speeds, learn to do it.

Well done, nice photos.

what's your lens here, mate?

give more video

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Side note, I reckon it's possible I was at that market at the same time. Thanks for the video.

Great work, love the Dandenong's (i think)shots!

cool🤩🤩

😃😃😃😃😃👍👍👍

great set of photos

Much better on mute. No idea why these videos need annoying music.

Nice shots mate. What case/insert is shown at the end of the video?

Well done 👏🏻

Well after watching this video and your BNW shots I clicked on the subscription right away
I loved how the shots turned out very nostalgic and how moody they are
Well I think you should definitely try Kodak Tri-X 400
And try to shoot it at 1600 ISO
You will fall in love with the results…

crazy talented

Your pacing is smooth, the music is vibey, and the photos are interesting. Keep it up!

Love HP5, funny I was shooting red umbrellas with it yesterday as well! Nice shots btw...

This is neither negative nor positive: I just wonder why it is so grainy? I shot plenty of HP5 at 1600 and never got that much grain. How did you develop it? (Or have it developed)

Great photos! Love your work!!!!!

I'm team HP5 all day!

Great images. There’s something magical about black & white film and fog.
