This is a super video. I found it helpful beyond measure. I went through all the steps as followed. I obtained the bellows as suggested. I really did what was needed. And I am most grateful for the detail attended to this project. My efforts ended up being far more challenging than depicted. But the video kept me on the tasks at hand. It was a great productive project. My Toyo field camera is a happy camera today because of the work I did. Thank you. thank you, thank you. I remain deeply pleased. My only suggestion to anyone going down this road alone? Go slow. Give yourself time to stumble, time to get all the parts necessary to do the job. You will prevail. It took me about a month to get this done. From ordering all the necessary parts, discovering that I hadn't ordered all of them, to plotting out the necessary time, once I had everything ready, I succeeded. And it was worth it.

Wow, fantastic. Great video and results.

I wonder how many photographers in RUclips meter light with the digital cameras but they pretending to do it with the spot meter…do you think you can get same results on digital on film?

Interesting side note... if you look at an aerial view on Google Maps, you'll see that the intersection in front of Dale's Donuts is riddled with "donuts".

I've never seen that divide trick before, very nifty

Old Town Temecula doesn't look very old. I am far older myself. Nice vid and nice photo, thank you.

Thanks so much for sharing this! I’ve got a digital medium format camera Fujifilm GFX50R. And I am planning to simulate some “large format” photography by taking a few shots and stitching them together. However I have in mind not to shoot from left to right (or the other way) in semicircle standing in one spot. I’ve got a video slider and I was thinking of making a certain number of shots while sliding the camera sideways. It should help with perspective distortion. And sure the software you mentioned will help to stitch it properly even better.

Nice photography

Loved this, thanks for sharing!

Lovely photo. I prefer the color version for sure. 6x17 is such a nice format too.

You dont even need to meter this scene at all. At ISO100 this is a 125th at f16. Just change it from there

Hell man you need to buy a high -vis jacket they are cheap enough. Nice photo and nice subject matter.

Where ya goin' with yer wagon mister ? You know if your going to have a wagon, its got to be red right ? LOL

You're doing it again 😂

2:40 (While watching for the first time) PLEASE: Step back, please! You're frighteningly close to the edge of the water 🌊😱 I try to concentrate on the process, but it's impossible - because of gear anxiety 🙅🤦🫀🫀🫀

Beautiful picture! Did you take any others without clouds?

I have done loads of black and white prints off of colour negatives in the darkroom, there is nothing wrong with it.

I like the tree crowning the gazebo.

Nice camera...nice video! I have a Shen Hat PTB617 for my 6x17 photography. Have a good remainder to your weekend!

Another great video, really like the look and performance of this camera. I like the colour picture, not because it looked better than the black and white, but because it suited the modern houses in the background.

Interesting editing. I prefer the color one with film borders.

Wow...just "wow". Love how you share the inside of your mind. "Thank you".

What I enjoy about your videos are the details you provide. Watching this one the 3rd time around

Canham cameras do orders of 5x7 portraits 160

"Get out there and take the photo". That is my biggest challenge. Do you ever setup on the median strip to take these photos? Or too risky? I have a couple like this I want to shoot, but they would look better from the middle of the road Thanks for the great video.

Nice video, personally I prefer the color of the Epson scan.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. Perseverance and patience are tricky bedfellows but when it comes together I totally get your excitement when the negative turns into a positive and a little dance ensues 😂

Sir, I shot large format in the 80s...loved it and miss it. I'm 100% digital now. I do as you do and scout out locations and will hesitate not to drive 200 miles for one shot of a Texas building out in the middle of no where. The car that's in your shot...wow, my frustration as well. Here in Texas, vintage buildings in small towns typically will have a car or truck purposely parked in front. For years I thought it was by chance, but more and more I see it, I think it's intentional.

Another local here and if you haven’t been to DeLuz’s tiny, old post (maybe even defunct) office you may find it interesting too.

If the car owner was nice he/she’d may have moved it if you asked. Great video. Really enjoyed watching it. Thank you.

Chuck a uey? Are you an Australian?? LOL

There is an app called "lens tagger". Works really well and does not use command line instructions as the user interface. It has a section for film, too. I use a lot of manual lenses and it's what I use to record exif data. You can make presets that are stored within the app.

Great video. I like both color and B&W shoots

I've added bubble levels on both front and rear standards to easily see when they are vertical (and back horizontal as well). My standards lock with a detent but have a bit of play. There bubbe levels are easy and fast way to make them spot on. They work also with extreme rise where I have to tilt camera base up due to limited rise.

I really enjoy your videos given the even pace and images. Great timing in viewing your video as I head out with the 5x7 Deardorff to the old quarter of Hanoi on a Sunday morning. Good tid bit on the bottom, rear bellows pull with extreme front rise. Thank you.

If you need a photo clear of traffic and say 4s or whatever exposure, you could probably use bulb mode and split it into say two separate parts? (assuming objects don't move, camera is stationary and there is not large time difference to change direction and intensity of sun). I've never done that but this video made me wonder if there is any problem in such a split. It could be a usefull tool in the toolbox for those nasty shots when you have gaps but not long enough gaps.

Excellent video. Of course there are Nick Carver vibes, which, for me, is great because I can't get enough of that kind of stuff. Hugely informative. Thank you for sharing and please make more videos.

You would really do well in such a situation to have an assistant watching, perhaps even warning, traffic. Also, doing what you do you should have a reflective vest such as worn by workers in traffic areas. Compositionally, my eye is annoyed by the roof support on the same line and obscuring the door edge. That's the sort of thing I see all the time in my own images so I know how hard it is to see everything on site. Thanks for your extra work to make a video of this. Also, I'm hoping you provide the store owner with a print.

I suspect Nick Carver would approve.

awesome

I've only been to Compton one time and I only remember the donut shop and a really nice dude that worked at the gas station down the street from there. Film will always hold the highlights better.

I really enjoyed this video thanks 🙏🏻

First time watching your vids. I must say it's funny how a lot of photographers are shy about interacting with people and here you are film yourself in front of people, avoiding traffic, talking to the store owner, telling them to get out of the shot. :) I found that all very amusing. Just goes to show you shouldn't be afraid to get the shot. Also, I have never seen anyone convert a negative the way you just did! That was awesome to learn that.

Thankyou for this - given me the confidence to jump in and do mine at some point

B&W for sure

I love these tiny cottages. They were there long before I was a toddler living my best life in Oside and my own toddlers have stayed here too. May they remain forever.

This is why I carry an orange vest and collapsible road cones, no matter how obvious you think you are to passing traffic, it only takes one person not focusing to ruin your day. (pun intended) Apart from that, enjoyed the content thanks.

The atheeesive

What a nice and clear tutorial, exactly what i needed, Thanks! Kinda sad, but somewhat understandable, that neither lightroom nor bridge have these feature natively

Those crosspoint screws are JIS not Phillips, everyone with a Japanese camera should own a set of JIS screwdrivers. Great info otherwise.
