In this "photography on location" video I venture to the Mojave Desert in search of scenes worthy of exposing on film. A small stretch of abandoned buildings along the iconic Route 66 caught my eye and served up plenty of photo opportunities for the day.
I had no shortage of cameras with me on this trip: my Shen Hao TFC 617-A panoramic 6x17 camera, my Mamiya RZ67 medium format camera with both 6x7 and 6x6 backs, my Polaroid SX-70, and even my Polaroid Originals OneStep 2. My films of choice for the day were Fuji Velvia 100, Kodak Portra 160, and Polaroid Originals 600 color and monochrome.
So many options, so little time. But hey, variety is the spice of life, right?
Deteriorating buildings in the middle of the desert with a rumbling freight train in the background while I meticulously compose a shot on my 6x17 panoramic view camera is about 1 step away from my idea of heaven. I couldn't get enough of this place. The decaying buildings, the long and lonesome Route 66, the desert air, the incredible cameras...it's what I live for.
Overall, I'm quite pleased with the photos from this outing. The panoramic 6x17 shots ended up being my favorites, but then again there's something especially fun about shooting 6x6. Fuji Velvia film delivered as always on its promise of colorful, contrasty, "popping" photos while Kodak Portra gave me a much softer color palette and contrast.
Both looks have their merits and each are beautiful films in their own way. I can never make up my mind as to which look I like better.
Variety. Spice. Life. ...mmhhmm.

haha I love this guy already, great sense of humor and doesn't demand we like and subscribe his videos. God Bless you

@joshvan2923 4 года назад

whats wrong with asking for likes/subs? you put hours into a video made specifically to entertain the viewer, I think its okay to ask them to click 2 buttons.

@nomadben 4 года назад

@@joshvan2923 Because it's obnoxious and completely pointless. If the viewer enjoys the content enough to like and subscribe, they will. No one is going to change their mind because the video author told them. No one has ever thought, "Well, I wasn't going to subscribe, but he told me to, so I guess I will."

Hi Nick, you've introduced me to a whole new world of photography with your incredible panoramic shots and I am now on my way to shooting large format 6x12 because of you. Thank you for being an inspiration and for all the amazing content. I hope to see more from you soon!

3:08 bigger than your lil Sony mirrorless - you just got me there

@paulscottfilms 3 года назад

He doesn't have to know the pain that I do owning and using a Sony mirrorless. It pretends to be something for everyone, but it's an awful thing. When you start using the Samsung cell phone by preference you know something is very very wrong with Sony.

@raveemahadevan 2 года назад

I am not sure, how I missed this... but talking from the perspective of 2022 , this is one of the best videos I have seen in the last 5 years!

@briansarmiento9314 4 года назад

I don’t shoot film and probably never will but damn, this has got to be the most entertaining photography video I’ve seen so far. Compositions are all winner to me.

@nickcarverphoto 4 года назад

That's the best compliment I can get. Always hoping my videos have a broader appeal than simply film shooters. Thank you!

Hey Nick, greetings from SE England. Just been introduced to you & your channel by Thomas Heaton - so glad he posted that recommendation. Slowly making my way through your YT archive & bumped into this episode this early morning when I couldn’t sleep. So, so glad. Am now completely in love with the sunset shot at c.17.14. Going to have to take the dog for a long walk just to calm down. Awesome!

@Fairychild432 4 года назад

I love that oven on the porch polariod, it has some nice reflections. The nice sunset skys looked great. I also loved that panoramic shot of the 2 buildings side by side, and just after that the little shack panoramic as well. You do such an amazing job with your photos.

@bearlysure 6 лет назад

I always enjoy seeing your use of the RZ67. I have an old RB67 and it is so much fun use. Very slow, step by step process, but the results can be very satisfying.

Nice process, nice humor, very good photos. I really like your style and it's refreshing listening to someone talking about photography and light and composition and mood of a photo instead of ranting about spec sheets and other technobabble!! Happy to have found you and I'll be following for sure! Kudos! Cheers

@kstoyak 4 года назад

Great video, and what an incredible location. So much to shoot. I stopped by this spot on my way back from Mojave National Preserve about two months ago and came across some of the same buildings. I was in awe of those desert relics. Found an old car sitting in the middle of sandy wash, and it turned out to be one of my favorite car shoots yet. It was such a treat to come across your video of the same area, getting to see the place through your lens. Well done.

@bogrunberger 6 лет назад

Yes! Finally a new video from you, Nick. It takes forever between your videos, but it's like Christmas when they finally arrive! :) I'm curious as to what the dynamic range are on some of your larger format cameras.

@nickcarverphoto 6 лет назад

bogrunberger thank you sir! I know, I wish I could post more often. But I'm glad I have the viewers who are willing to wait a bit and still watch. The dynamic range is dependent on the film, and I plan to do a little follow up video talking about it. Good to know there's interest out there to hear about it.

@gimenosaiz 6 лет назад

Hi, I really enjoyed this video. Great shots. Thank you! Saludos from Spain

@jpearl906 4 года назад

This is a particularly favorite video of mine. After living in the desert for five years and photographing old abandoned buildings myself, it was so enjoyable to watch the different results from cameras and films. It was a bit nostalgic for me. There’s really nothing like shooting in the desert.
