Lose Weight Without Losing Quality | Does Size Really Matter? | Shoot Local and Save Money 

Lightshop or Photoroom🤔 (😂) Another great episode!!!

Weight and size of the gear was always important for me and that’s why I’m still using APSC camera for my landscapes. I always carry midrange zoom, telephoto and wide angle. Lenses for full frame are just too big and it discourages me from upgrading… I’m able to carry my current set up without a backpack - two lenses go to the pockets in my jacket one on each side and I have a camera whit third lens on a strap. I know it is bad for lenses to carry them in the pockets but it saves me some time - I’m always able to change the lens whitout stopping. All of that gear also fits in my handlebar bag on my bike when I’m biketouring

I’m playing catch up. Great show, was great to meet you at the Photography Show. I particularly like Marcus saying “Lightshop” and “Photoroom” at 20:50. Maybe he should trademark them before Adobe get their hands on them 😂

Regarding local shooting I have the opposite dilemma, on my doorstep I have a Country Wildlife Park, a beautiful coastline, the Brecon Beacons and Neath Waterfall Country. I’m very lucky I know, but it’s really tricky deciding which direction to head off in sometimes. I changed jobs 4 years ago and lost my company car, I would think nothing of a 3 or 4 hour drive to get to a location back then.

Sorry … I don’t ever miss shooting with film, even though I did it for years and participated with a friend, just last week, shooting a Sinar 4x5. Put another way, I happily use a computer to type and publish articles and books … and never ever dream of using a typewriter again.

Ansel Adams used a very large format plate camera mounted on a film studio type tripod on the back of a pickup truck! No carrying that gear, great photograph,s though, mostly from the minor road,s.

Just love Marcus and his “does size matter.” Shooting 4x5 and 5x7 myself, I know the total involvement it requires, which is a great part of the joy of this kind of photography. 😀

Lose weight .....go Olympus !!

Ive lightened my gear as much as I can but taking pics of wildlife is damm heavy. 16kg of gear , heavy clothing etc etc. Walking miles on a beach to photograph seals again then scaling basically a cliff, then more miles. Then again, I think reducing my growing belly would show a much bigger benefit than a few lbs from my gear LOL!!!

it was a good shop and nice to say hello to Marcus by the car park sub way on the Saturday

Great episode! Probably the best photography show on RU-vid! Best Regards from Malaga, south Spain

See, your problem with gas consumption is having the steering wheel on the right side, creating more drag. The only sensible place for the steering wheel is on the left. We tried that right-side drive car a few years ago in Scotland, and we're lucky to be alive. So are some other people in cars we encountered.

Nice ! And I love the added humour in more recent episodes 😀 A few additional options to reduce carry weight : Start with yourself (this always applies to myself!) - most of us can lose a few kilos and it's usually a relatively easy job to get a few pounds off before a trip. For overnighters people always take too many clothes ! Be ruthless and cut the fat. If you are anything like me - and most people - you take too many lenses ! For day trips take the absolute minimum (usually 2-3 lenses). For landscapes f2.8 lenses (or faster) are rarely required, do your homework but most f4 lenses will be far lighter and save you a considerable amount of weight (and filter size) ! Leave your laptop behind and take an iPad (or similar) - you can now backup RAW files on to these and it's a huge weight saving. Switch your square filters to round magnetics. My Benro 5-filter kit weighted 992g (exc. case) whereas the Kase Wolverines (5 filters) weighs 265g inc. case. In 99% of cases these (or bracketing) will work just fine. Carry a water filtering system rather than overload yourself with litres of water. Most day trippers I see either carry far too much or nowhere near enough ! Check for water sources on a map before you start out. OK enough - this could go on for days ! Leave no trace !

Love the dropping kit by the woman in the background 🤣😂😇

Love those analogue cameras, wonderful video as usual, thank you

Another winner of a show guys. Thanks again.

Yet again top work guys, another fantastic show!! Great analogue affairs!! 😊

Excellent episode guys, really interesting segment from Marcus on the film format comparisons. Would love to see how those huge cameras operate in the wild and what results can be had.

Excellent episode!!! Thank you very much for keeping this series going.

Just watching this episode, finally, and noted a spoonerism from Marcus at 20:50, "Lightshop or Photoroom?" That must be something new.

I can't help feeling than Nick has made a rod for his own back here. Come on man! Show us ways to get some mileage out of an alley full of wheely bins... Dave, (near Birmingham...) 😁

Lightshop and Photoroom? Laughed out loud for real!

Is that Kingjoy really a $693USD tripod! You had me until I saw that price.

You can also change the length of the tripod legs to give you more than 10 degrees :)

Greetings from Namibia.

Great show, nice to see some innovations with equipment other than the cameras.

Hello from Northern California

Still the best Photographic Channel anywhere.

I still love shooting film from time to time. Have 2 35mm cameras; a minolta x370n (my 1st camera) and my dads canon a1.🙂

Brilliant as always!

What is the model of the Zpaks camera pack?

Another brilliant show everyone. I don't think i would have the patience to set up one of those large format film camera's, let alone carry it around.

Love your show! The best photography show in 2022 for sure.

"Is this mega large format still not stretching your budget or not physically unwieldy enough? This is the James Webb telescope, a paltry ten billion dollars."

Best photography channel on RU-vid. No nonsense no rubbish. Just great information Well done.

Do you guys not have trespassing laws in Scotland? I worry about climbing any fence in the States or being in any pasture where cows are here as in most cases that indicates private property which would be against the law to go in. I always see you guys roaming all over the place but I never see any no trespassing signs.

Wonderful episode once again...drooling over that 8x20!

I never quite understanding a conundrum for landscape photographers. They mainly shoot with apertures around F11 to f22, yet the lenses they carry mainly have maximum apertures of f2.8 to f4.0 and with autofocus too. Just look at the huge 24/35/50mm modern lenses from Sony, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, etc. If manufacturers can offer much smaller maximum apertures and manual focus only, surely the lenses can be made much smaller, simpler, lighter and certainly a lot cheaper.

I love the outtakes!!!

Love the shoot local segment, great photo content but also... well, you know, Scottish roots 🤣🤣 Probably need to allow a 20-30 minute drive but laws here prevent walking over any private land.

Shooting local section 👏👏👏👏👏👏 That's what drew me into landscape photography - pulling on the gators, packing the bushcraft gear and pushing on to the places as yet unfound. Exploring for me is at least 80% of the joy of photography.

Can’t help but compare cycling and photography weight saving efforts. Hill climbers drill holes in their frames and here you are drilling holes in your tripod…..of course, you know you’re obsessed when you decide to leave the second memory card at home to save that last gram….

Awesome show folks! One thing to remember with a film camera, you get up to 36 brand news sensors in a roll, and not very dust prone to boot. heehee. Cheers!

Can Marcus answer a few Questions? I was interested in Knowing how well the Tripod Legs on the KingJoy hold up, from becoming Loose at the Bolts, mounted to the Base over time? I love the Benro 38CL but after some time and lots of use its become a practice to snug down these two bolts per leg, just to have one or two bolts walk loose after a few leg actions back and forth.. Thank You! from the USA

WHOA BABY! I ain't not never seen no camera that big!!!

I shoot 10x8 and 6x17 regularly would love a 8x20. Who makes film that size?

Marcus, "Light Shop or Photo Room"? I'm sure that was on purpose... Great video! Thanks so much!

Although I like your content from Skye very much, I hope you will feature the Dolomites in a future episode. Cheers!

Love how Marcus starts off by showing how to reduce the weight carried, and finishes off making the gear heavier and heavier with large format cameras 🙈😂

Another great show everyone. Is the PlateHead likely to be available before the end of the year?

great show, perhaps Marcus could leave the step ladders behind to reduce weight?

Marcus, can you give us the approximate cost of each of the six cameras you featured? Maybe from least scary to scariest? 😬. Thank You all for another great video!

Question for Nick... having watched Marcus's piece on ball heads and saving weight, I noticed Nick had no ball head fitted when carrying his tripod to the location, but then was using a ball head for the shot. Do you carry the ball head seperately, and fit it on location? TIA.

Another great episode, I like the going light and how you show what ways to shave the weight off. I think I will order the Chamonix 8x20 👍👍👍 Great show once again.

Of late, I’m wondering if this channel should be renamed Landscape Photography Online, as that seems to be the sole focus. There are other genres e.g. Street, Sport, Fashion etc. How about a bit more variety? We don’t all shoot landscapes all of the time. I’m still enjoying the humour though 😊

Any comment about lens quality when going for "Bigger is better" as I thought that once you get to about 40 MPix on a 35mm sensor the lens becomes the limiting factor. I realise that a bigger negative/sensor will reduce this effect but how much ?.

I'd love to see some photos from the Chamonix 8x20.

nice, what brand and type is the additional padding lens case?

Nice job guys. Always fun to watch.

8x20 film about the same cost as a large house 😂

I enjoyed this episode a lot. Thank you.

Pretty soon you’ll be able to do a full show of outtakes 🎉😂

Hello there, do you mind to share Marcus setup models for the tripod at the beginning of the video?

Fantastic episode again. Thanks for all the hard work!

Still an underrated channel! This episode was great! I cant imagine editing a file of a ultra large format. My macbookpro probably would explode! 🤣

Nick... this is why i always bring vaders when shooting rivers ;-)

I never thought I'd see Zpacks mentioned on this channel, they're a pretty niche brand even in the backpacking world! I have an Arc Air backpack from them and it's comically light, only slightly heavier than my Sony A7C which I also partly chose for its weight. The pack is lighter than most daypacks, so it's also perfect for packing photography gear for a day trip.

A great show of contrasts from light weight to the latest camera I've ever seen 👌

I watch mostly to hear Ruth talk!

Amazing information. Thank you 👍

Brilliant show again. Great to meet you both at the Nec. Great to chat aswell.

Thanks for another great show. Glad that I'm not out wandering around in the woods with Nick today!

Can I come to Venice please X

what programs are light shop and whats Photo room mentioned @29.38

👍🏾🙏🏾

My advice when exploring a new area that no one has been to and is unlikely to be at is to notify several people where you're going, when you left and when you're due back, if there's no one local to contact, pop in to the local law enforcement and let them know, as likely at some point they'd be contacted if you went missing anyways. Your camera "does size matter" comparison was like comparing a field mouse's equipment to a Clydesdale.

👏👏👏

Those holes in the tripod structure will absolutely affect the stability. Maybe not much, but they definitely will, it is just physics.
