Underexposed with Alastair Bird

All aspects of photography discussed and considered here – film, digital, cameras, lenses and techniques discussed. I have been shooting photos for more than 30 years; shooting professionally for nearly 20 years and this channel is the result of my curiosity and my need to answer the many questions I still have about photography.

Care to guess what video we are working on next? It is in the "how-to" format.

Did you know? Most of our videos are shot on Nikon cameras? DSLRs earlier on, and now the Z mirrorless system. The odd Black Magic shoot has happened, but that is rare.

Soon Alastair will be talking about a film camera he just doesn't enjoy and will likely get rid of - which do you think it will be?

Uh oh...just upgraded to mirrorless (Nikon Z - see latest video). What sort of video sounds most interesting to you?

We're planning some videos around a newly acquired 8x10 camera. What aspect would be most interesting to you?

When was the last time you shot 620 film? We just sourced 2 rolls and a pair of Kodak Brownie Six 20s

We're thinking about our next video and wondering you want to weigh in on what we review. It's likely a Hasselblad, but here are 3 options. Tell us which interests you the most:
