I'm 1% into editing 600 packshots I took's deep-etching and editing and this content is what I need to to live vicariously through other photographer's lives. Love and respect from Cape Town, South Africa. PS - Cape Town is a photo excursion that'll blow the roof of anything you've ever done. Just saying.

    Another awesome one Jason. The combo of Nikon film camera, 300mm lens and 2x teleconverter pointed at the sky took me back 20 years ago, sitting in the freezing cold trying to capture a lunar eclipse in my front yard with an FM and ancient Nikkor-H 300/4.5 my pop gave me. From memory, your pics were much better. Kudos.

    In the for what it's worth dept., (not much), The scene where you photographed a dead tree in the flat countryside you said to the effect that this is what the whole State of Ohio looks Like. Actually there are five distinct regions in the state. The Great Lakes Plains, the Till Plains, The Appalachian Plateau, The Bluegrass Region and the Lake Erie Shoreline. Your tree shot probably was taken in the till region named because it's used tp cutivate crops. Ohio, in my opinion has a subtle beauty. The grandeur of the Rockies is several hundreds of miles to the west. Your glib comments alone make your channel worth viewing. I'm at least old enough to be your great grandfather. your meanderings with your friends takes me back to my twenties when we did similar things. Keep your videos coming.

    50mm was my first focal length on film and it's still the one I default to when just walking around. I think what draws me to it is that it doesn't distort anything. 35 is similar but 50 provides that extra bit of separation that helps things pop in my opinion

I have been shooting a lot on a Nikon FM2n recently with a 50mm, but I splashed out and bought the Voigtlander Nokton 58mm f1.4 ... what an incredible combination. Like you I am suprised with the results I am getting in situations that I never thought the focal length was the wisest choice for.

This totally captures the essence of a photo road trip with friends, and your portfolio and keeper rates are strong. I saw totality when I was a young kid, but only got to 96% here in New Hampshire. Wish I'd made the two-hour drive west to totality but the weather was sketchy and the two-lane roads to get there looked like LA at rush hour. I'm glad I got to experience it vicariously through this video. Andy
