I took my Mamiya RB67 loaded with Ilford HP5 400 into the woods for a slow, deliberate shoot inspired by the legendary Ansel Adams. Medium format film, moody light, and the quiet of the forest—this is what photography feels like when you slow down and shoot with purpose.
In this episode, I chase light and shadow through a woodland, exploring how HP5 handles deep contrast and texture. No digital safety nets—just 10 frames, a heavy camera, and a lot of patience.
If you’re into film photography, medium format cameras, or just want to see what Ilford HP5 looks like in natural light, this one’s for you.
