  Thanks for sharing! Lots of great information. I got into 4x5 a few years ago, I love the process and the large negatives. I will admit, I don’t shoot as much 4x5 as 35mm or medium format. Large format is a very slowed down experience, everything is planning and methodical.

  I have been very busy with digital photography lately. Right now I'm in Newfoundland and taking a ferry to a French Island. Our Newfoundland Adventure is in full swing. On our return I will get into film again. Perhaps with Transparency film and comparing my Epson Scans to outsourced ones. Thanks again. Mike

Vird detection worked great its all pin sharp to the eye. Great night image also with that building in the fog. The focus stack at the end was really awsome. Thanks for sharing. Grt guido

We are entering a era were replacing thing comes first above repairing stuf so this is a good example for everybody! I hope you're trip will go up north.

  Opted for the East Coast of Canada in Newfoundland now. If I had done a better inspection on this project I would have saved the cooling system repair on my last video. The videos got a bit out of sync on the last two. This one was made prior to the trip and that hose that cot cut by the belt. You could watch one of our earliest videos Driving the Dempster. Apparently the road was washed out for this year and lots of forest fires. Churchill is 7 to $10,000. Flying in I didn't totally cost everything out. My experience this trip is unbelievable so far. So much editing. Great light and weather. Getting 14 to 17 mpg (US) and no oil consumption on 1995 351W roller lifter excellent. A tribute to Castrol Synthetic oil and K&N oil filters.

• 
  @bellasvistas346320 күн бұрын

  I like the subscription really. I always bootlegged Photoshop and Lightroom, Windows as well. I found it more affordable as a monthly fee less than $20.00. The updates are often. There is talk now about Adobe using people's work to train their AI software, I don't like that. I may try other solutions but I find the new Lightroom amazing. I am also thinking about film again, maybe even B&W exclusively
