I travel to the Great Sandhills of Saskatchewan to document the ever changing landscape with my Hasselblad X1D II 50 megapixel camera, and end up working with just one lens.
We ended up with wicked crazy windy weather that put a stop to large format photography, and I photographed everything in black and white.

Shooting with one camera and one lens does bring out your creativity. Allan Schaller did a video for Leica entitled the Liberation of Limitations. Limitations can lead to freedom to create. A good photographer friend calls her camera bag "Her Insecurity Bag" with a plethora of cameras and lenses to choose from. I love going out with one camera, one lens and it inspires me. So thank the blowing wind for creating such wonderful photographs.

What a wonderful production. Thanks Todd - one camera, one lens - so retro ;-)

Thanks very much, sometimes that's just a great exercise in seeing using one lens. Thanks for watching.

There are many things that draw me to this channel. Principally the wonderful photography. Secondly the places and the country you shoot and film in. But most of all the relaxed and thoughtful commentary of what you aim to convey. That and your hat. Your trademark is your hats. All in all, just perfect. Always follow the light.

Thank you for the kind words, I am trying to add a bit more info to my videos, not sure how people will like it. But thank you!

Lovely images, particularly of the dunes. One thing I'm taking away from your videos, Todd, is that Saskatchewan has some remarkable (and remarkably varied) landscapes. They make me want to visit.

Todd, this is incredible. I've just recently found your YT Channel and I love your way of storytelling, the soundtrack, the composition, all is nicely done. Soon I'll be sharing some landscape photography channels around the world in my own YT channel and blog and yours is on the list. thanks for sharing this content. Will let you know when I do. Congratulations

I just found your channel. Your video is excellent and I really like your choice of music and pacing. Simple yet interesting and effective. I especially like the interspersing of images with narrative and music. Too many you-tubers talk a lot and show very little work, or just shill products. Your work is excellent, especially the shadow work in the small dunes. Well done!

@toddkorolphoto 2 года назад

You are very kind, thank you. I do review a few products, but only if I think they can be of actual value to a photographer.

Beautiful! I had planned a trip to Alberta this fall but unfortunately couldn't make it, I am planning on making the trip next year and will add the sand dunes to the itinerary. My grandparents ranched not far south of the border in western North Dakota and one of his expressions was.....the only thing to slow down the wind is a barb wire fence somewhere in Saskatchewan 😉.

@toddkorolphoto 2 года назад

X2D is a great new camera and I am glad Hasselblad is putting work into that system. But the X1D II is a marvellous camera, I’ll be using it for a long time. 😉

@tomsavage9822 2 года назад

Wonderful! How are you getting the blue skies to be dark? Is that a post-production thing or camera filters?

@toddkorolphoto 2 года назад

A bit of post production, but a lot of it is exposure, I am exposing for the highlights, and let the darks go dark. I should do a video on that.

@moky99 Год назад

nice video and photos. I see you used the 45 f3.5 lens for the X1D II. Did you compare it with the 45p f4.0 ? For landscape photography would you recommend the 4.0 (which is very affordable) ?

@toddkorolphoto Год назад

Yes I have a friend that has the 45 F/4 it’s amazing. Just as sharpe, lighter and cheaper.

@moky99 Год назад

In sand hills, did you have any trouble with sand and dust (even without changing the lens outside) ? I plan to go in desert with my X1D II 50C and 45f/4 and I'm a bit frightened to get some problems with the sand winds.

@toddkorolphoto Год назад

Funny I was just printing photos today from that trip. I did not have any problems , but I did not change lenses. I also kept the body and lens covered when I wasn't using it.

Thanks a lot Todd@@toddkorolphoto
