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

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.

Impressive! Want to see more of this, 👍

Many thanks, much appreciated. Cheers Neil

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.

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

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?

@shanedignum

Thank you! Plenty of topics to discuss there. Thanks for commenting. The Toyo is still here, just putting the Canham to work. Yes, it's much lighter.

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.

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

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 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?
