Large Format Landscape Photography S2E3: October in Capitol Reef 

Love that intro music and really appreciate the time and effort that goes into the b-roll.

3.24 Interesting to see your dark cloth; I thought I was the only one who had one with elastic gathering to fit my camera (Crown Graphic). Years ago now, I told my Mum what I wanted and she sewed it for me in about an hour. With mine, about a foot away from the opening, it wasn't sewn together to make it easier to get under, but I had a long strip of velcro each side that I would just reach down and put together to keep the light out. Black on one side, white on the other, as I used to shoot a lot in the summer heat. Sewn inside in the corners were weights to keep it hanging past my shoulders. Lost it in a house fire, along with 30 years of negs. Such is life. This was a nice video to pop up in my feed, thanks.

That first image was terriffic. Nice colors and detail!

Man. You're living the good life. Keep it up. Inspiring.

Your photos are beautiful

You have a very relaxed speaking style. You are the Bob Ross of large format landscape photography.

Even a small camera, even a Fuji Wal-Mart film camera... anything could take good photos of Capitol Reef! Capitol Reef is one of the most beautiful places in the world!

That last image is spectacular, such a great mood being conveyed.

Always enjoy your videos Shane, thank you. Rather than construction, I would love to see a darkroom setup video, or videos. Organization, equipment selection and setup and everything else.

Terrific pictures! That is the life I'm been looking for!

I enjoyed this. It reminded me of my Linhof 4x5 days back in the 1970's. I enjoyed the slow and deliberate working style of a view camera. I learned a lot from that kind of shooting. The resolution of the larger film always impressed me although I couldn't make huge prints in my darkroom. A wet darkroom was very time consuming and required lots of processing to get a good print; I never advanced much past the "beginner" stage but it was fun. Now we move around a few sliders in Lightroom or Photoshop to get immediate effects that took hours in the darkroom. However, there is "magic" and satisfaction in shooting large format and producing that great print. The effort required to get the shot and then the print is a wonderful experience that few modern photographers get to experience. I can appreciate and applaud your work.

This is a wonderful channel It would very valuable to See your darkroom construction

Many thanks, much appreciated. Cheers Neil

Great review.

I get what you mean about not wanting to turn you channel into a construction channel, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to see a short series about the build out of the darkroom itself! I would like to build one in my house, so something like this would be useful to me.

Perfect place ,silence, lovely trees and superb photographs! Large Format Photography forever,the true photography!

Subscribed, great and calming video

Beautiful photographs.

Tipptopp !!!

When driving through that Canyon you really get a lot of reflective light it's really cool.

All you large formats people are so mellow! I love it I envy that! I just discovered your channel and I agree as much as I love interiors and design KEEP YOUR CHENNEL PHOTOGRAPHY!!!

this trip was very good as you have had plenty of opportunity to shoot. Though I missed the sky in your compositions.

I really like the triple tree crop photo at the top of the video. Excellent video sir.

I've been addicted to all kinds of gear review or recommendation vedios for a while, thanks to your video , it reminds me of the joy of just taking pictures of things, not the gear lust. Amazing pictures!

Hey Shane, recently I came across your channel and let me tell you I have been enjoying a lot all episodes. Many thanks for sharing youradvebtures and great work!! I shoot 4x10" as well and I´m very curious to know where do you source color film for that format? I was in contact with Canham but he is not putting any special order on that format with Kodak. Do you cut it down from 8x10" yourself? If so would you please explain how can you do it precisely? Lookind forward to seeing your finishd darkroom. Warm greetings from Germany, Ignacio

I really think the colour (color) hits the spot with large format photography 📷👍

Well, that answers that. A nice new Canham 8 x 10. And very satisfying results. That glimpse of the darkroom exterior made my mouth water. I, too, look forward to seeing how it progresses over the winter.

Miss seeing your videos, glad to see this one today and the images looked great.

Great video 🇨🇱🚀 Gretting from Chile

Would love to see something about building the studio.

Wonderful video and images. Many thanks for sharing. May I ask which tripod you are using? Also really like your fleece as it looks super warm so wondering which brand that is as well? Many thanks

Impressive! Want to see more of this, 👍

Thanks Shane, wonderful photos and would be very Interested in your Darkroom build once again thank you from down under🇦🇺

Beautiful video and stunning shots. Greatly appreciated!👍

Really great video, Shane. Glad I came across your channel! Would love to hear more about your darkroom build! Cheers.

where do you usually buy color negatives for 8x10"? are they new or expired? (sorry for the potential dumb question but I actually saw some youtubers using 20 + years old films

Shane, I'd be very interested in hearing you talk about your darkroom build! Thanks! Tony

Love your videos，I'm your big fan from China.Everytime I open RU-vid，I will check if you update video or not.

what video camera do you use? Thanks for the video.

Hi Shane ! Great videos and beautiful photos ! I think you must to make videos about your photo office . it will be interesting to many people, including myself ! ! ! good luck !

Do you have a projector for such huge slides?

Happy to see you and your videos back - really love your channel. BTW: Your video quality is getting really professional. Greetings from Switzerland!

Beautiful video, as always 😊 Great to see a camera with focus primarily via the rear standard… bye bye ultra wide lens base plate shots!

Glad to see you're back. The colors in the image on Provia at 14:00 are breathtaking. I audibly said wow, when you put that image up. That alone was worth the price of admission. In my opinion, just a tour of the darkroom once it's up and running. I guess those high winds in southern Utah did not affect you?

You’ve switched from your Toyo? What camera is this wooden one? Lighter weight?

you don't sell any prints on your site? just a donate button?

Beautiful shots. I especially like the complementary contrast between the green bushes and the reddish stones. I'm also looking forward to a video about the darkroom. Since I am planning a similar project (which will certainly not look as beautiful and professional as yours) and would like to build a "wooden box" as a darkroom in the garden, I am interested in how you heat and ventilate the darkroom. In particular how do you protect the water pipes against frost. Do you heat with electricity? That becomes extreme expensive here in northern Germany. May be i will use a little Woodstove. I haven't decided yet how cheap and practical this will be. What happened to your Toyo? Is the new camera lighter?

Beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I've shot medium format, 4x5, and digital ( still have my Canon 5dm3 which I'll keep for wildlife etc) but am getting more enjoyment now out of a Samsung S22 phone camera for 4k video's and stills. Lightweight with good enough quality. Limited only by my imagination. Don't need to spend the big bucks. Just be there in good light and weather.

Which tripod r u using.

终于更新了。

Very cool Shane! I am curious, do you cut your own 4x10 film?

Hi Shane, what backpack are you using?

silent comfortable thanks

New camera? Look forward to your review of it. :)

I did some 4X5 black and white photography in college and I was very happy with the resolution of the image. When digital "35mm" DLSR's came out, I bought one and I was not happy about the detail. In your opinion, at what point will digital catch up with a 4X5 image?

How do I buy a brand new canham camera? Do you have his contact information?

make another Channel dedicated to your woodworking

I don't dare guess what a sheet of E100 costs these days

🙏🏻സൂപ്പർ 👍🏻👌🏻♥

Messy, busy scenes and compositions. Nice light but definitely not interesting subjects.

very nice video, Shane! See if I can fine you on Instagram.
