Photographing The Great Sandhills, with the Hasselblad X1D II.

Фильм және анимация

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.

    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.

    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!
