Welcome to the 12th filmwasters video podcast. This is a ‘pinhole special’ episode featuring yet another review of an ILFORD camera, this time the Obscura Pinhole, and a variety of pinhole shots from the filmwasters crew. A big thanks to Paul Mitchell for reviewing the camera for us, and of course to ILFORD Photo for supplying the camera once again.

This special edition of the filmwasters video podcast features the new Harman Titan 8×10 pinhole camera. Leon got his hands on a pre-release camera to put through its paces and see what this over-sized beastie can do.

This 10th video podcast comes with a multitude of apologies to all those involved in the various recordings … most of which took part late in 2011/ early in 2012! This episode includes footage from the UK Filmwasters Large Format Meetup in Broadstairs, Focus on imaging 2012 and the Silverprint Christmas open day in December 2011. If we’ve learned one thing, its that we occasionally need a rocket set under us to get anything done – feel free to light the fuse as and when necessary. The next one won’t take so long – we promise.

Welcome to the ninth Filmwasters video podcast, although this time it’s not so much a full blown podcast, but more of a look back at the amazing images posted to the Filmwasters.com group on Flickr during 2012. Conceived and assembled by François Laverdure.

Welcome to the eighth Filmwasters video podcast. The wonderful people at the ILFORD Photo factory have kindly loaned us their HARMAN TiTAN pinhole camera to review. As soon as Leon saw the box, he knew he was in for some fun times! Also, Filmwasters-regular Francois Laverdure shows how to build a budget darkroom and Leon shows some of the trials of being a mushroom photographer.

Note: Interview with Steven starts at around 6 minutes 30 seconds.

It’s been 11 long months since the last Filmwasters audio podcast, but we’re back with a bang as Leon interviews one of Ilford Photo’s head honchos, Steven Brierley, about the future of analogue photography. I’d write more, but if you’re an trad photo person then you already have the best reason on the planet to go and give this a listen.

Our seventh video podcast features an extended report from a little insider event in London called, Photographica 2011. Loads of us went along and we had a fantastic time. Before that though the podcast covers Ed’s visit to the London Street Photography exhibition at the Museum of London, a nail-biting finish for the Filmwasters Pub Quiz team & a seaside ‘photo walk’ with Woody the Dog & Leon the Human. Boo ya!

Featuring Ed Wenn, Leon Taylor, Nigel Rumsey & the Filmwasters Photographica Crew.

Our sixth video podcast sees us giving in and upgrading to Vimeo+. Sweet! In this show we have Damion’s piece on Focus on Imaging 2011, Leon & Ed take a look at Ilford Harman’s Direct Positive Paper and – after a short commercial break courtesy of François Laverdure – we close out with a look at Sean Rohde’s excellent recent exhibtition, “Expired”.

Our fifth video podcast features what we hope is a balanced look at some film from the Impossible Project. Some of us like it, some of us don’t and we present both sides in this show. There’s also a tips and tricks section and a lovely gallery of photos from Erin McGuire.

Featuring Erin McGuire, Ed Wenn, Damion Rice & Leon Taylor.

We have a couple more almost-completed podcasts in the pipeline, so look out for the next one in a matter of weeks.

The fourth video podcast from the Filmwasters features a slump-busting trip to Northern France as our intrepid contributor overcomes her fear of photographing strangers in the street. There’s a tutorial on how to load two rolls of 120 film onto a single developer reel and we finish off with a look back at our trip earlier this year to London’s annual Photographica camera fair.

Featuring Ailsa McWhinnie, Ed Wenn, Leon Taylor & the Photographica crew.

N.B. For whatever reason the video and audio quality of this episode aren’t as good as previous podcasts. Apologies for that. Must do better next time.
