By some fluke of the RUclips algorithm this video was recommended to me while I was chilling out in my motel after just arriving in Lone Pine for a week of 4x5 photography. I really like your style and love to see how much work goes into scouting out different comps. Now I'm back from my trip I have been binge watching my way through your entire back catalog. I moved from the UK to CA last year so you've given me plenty of inspiration for future trips. Thank you for making these videos. I'd love to see some of your large prints some day!
Besides your photos (which are always very beautiful) I'm really impressed by the way you edit your videos. They are much more cinematic than any of the other channels I enjoy: just really great story-telling with the images and how you sequence each scene. The scene of you climbing to the tent with the Moon was perfect in this one. Looking forward to your next video!
in the shot with little pool, i see a bit of lens tilt, methinks...a long time since my Arcade Swiss / Rodenstock days, but nice to revisit the contemplative nature of large format...these days, even 35 mm film is more 'contemplative' than 20 FPS digital! (especially when using a T/S lens vs. 'focus stacking' ;=) )
I thought you had driven to Alabama! If you ever do, I'm from here, and spend a lot of time in our beautiful woods and hills. Also - that camping spot looked amazing.
Inspiring video! I have a couple of location suggestions for you since you travel to the Eastern Sierras, The tufas of Mono lake and Bodie ghost town (if you haven't shot there already).
What a beautiful landscape. It is like a foreign planet for me living in flat marsh land. I am looking forward to see them printed with your new enlarger...
The Owens and Death Valleys are the Mecca and Al Medina for Landscape Photographers. However many times I've been there, I see new compositions all the time.
Another excellent video, Shane! Can't decide if I prefer the b&w or color negative for the reflected mountain shot at 13:01 - both are amazing photographs! Wondering if you're working towards a project of sorts, perhaps a photobook or an exhibition? Regards from Canada.
I prefer the B&W, because the blue is a bit dominant in the composition in my opinion. The B&W looks more balanced and that way the reflection comes out better I think. One thing I'm not entirely sure about is the rotation of the frame. Likely the setup was technically perfectly level, but the composition feels rotated clockwise, because of the mid-ground slopes I presume. Perhaps this is one of the more rare situations where you can get a away with not sticking to the 'perfectly level landscape photo'-paradigm.
Bonjour, superbe video ,paysages magnifiques , les photos "noir et blanc" sur fp4 sont vraiment belles.... une question : développement à quel ISO ? Merci .
Curious about your thoughts on the Canham 8x10. Ive read that they can be a little wobbly, or not very sturdy (for instance removing the dark slide can shake the camera). Ive had my eye on one for a while, thinking about selling my Chamonix 8x10 for a Canham, I like the idea of switching lenses without moving the front standard into a new hole on the base. Anyway, great video, always look forward to your videos. ✌️
Thanks, Dustin. I’ve never been a fan of the Phillips design. Keith Canham has great customer service. His cameras are “springy”, but just give it an extra beat and let things calm down before exposing the sheet. If there’s a slight breeze or I’m close to the truck, my Toyo comes out. Maybe I’ll do a “what’s in my bag” video sometime in the near future.
I find myself wondering if you unload the film holders and send the film off or does the lab unload them. I can’t imagine you sending in the film holders
You know the film holder has two colored sides, one black and one white, if you flip them you will always know what side is exposed. I use white unexposed, black exposed.

Thanks, Chris! I’m glad you’re enjoying them. England to California! That’s a big move. There’s plenty to photograph here.
How was your week in Lone Pine Chris? I'm thinking of spending a week out in that area this fall (I'm in New York State).
Thanks for sharing another amazing moment.
Thanks for following along 👍🏼
Fabulous. It's been a pleasure watching your videos.
great video, and great photos - I especially liked the last two that you made. overall love the pace of your videos
Thanks! I try to keep the pace fairly relaxed.
Amazing video and pictures!
Yes to the black and white, Shane! Great video.
Thank you!
what a beautiful video, photographs and trip
I enjoyed that, thanks. It's a totally alien landscape compared to what we have here. (your film must cost!). John UK.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. The color film is pricey, but B&W isn’t terrible, especially if you develop at home.
I like what you did there!
Awesome Video of Death Valley!!!
Liked that last composition with the rocks! Well done!
Thank you! I’ll have to revisit that location and hopefully get the light I was hoping for.

Death Valley is a place that stays with you. I enjoy your videos very much. Thank You!
Thanks for watching!
Always enjoy your videos, thank you!

Great video. Awesome B&W Shane.

He's way too sophisticated to go to Alabama.

Great. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m familiar with both locations. I’ve been to Mono lake but never Bodie, maybe this year. Thanks for the suggestions.
Absolutely stunning, great video and photos in the marvelous place!
Finished the work of the darkroom?
Thank, Nat! The darkroom is still in progress. I’ll get a video out once it warms up a bit.
@@shanedignum fantastic, I want to see your new dark room, but I have turned my garage into a dark room!:)
The opening scenes looked almost too good to be real, wonderfully video and the b/w shots are my favorite.
Thanks, Randy! I’m digging B&W as well 👍🏼
really nice, subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
@@shanedignum and already binged snd even rewatched a few.
Very cool
What a beautiful landscape. It is like a foreign planet for me living in flat marsh land. I am looking forward to see them printed with your new enlarger...
Me too! Just waiting for Winter to be over so I can continue work on the Darkroom.
@@shanedignum Yes, cold wet and stormy January here in northern Germany and still 3-4 months "to survive" ;)
Good to see you back and a nice set for the few days. I know you didn't get the light at the Stones but the broody atmosphere works for me!
It’s not terrible but I would prefer more direct light. I really like the composition. I’ll be going back soon.
Is that a CHAMONIX? Beautiful captures!
It's a Canham 8x10. Made in Arizona by Keith Canham. Thank you!
@@shanedignum Beautiful, thank you.
It's so beautiful and the best.
Who is filming the video?
Thanks. I do the filming as well.
The Owens and Death Valleys are the Mecca and Al Medina for Landscape Photographers. However many times I've been there, I see new compositions all the time.
I completely agree. I’m luckily to live only a few hours from both of those areas. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
I got a speeding ticket on that road 06:58 once. Out in the middle of no ware damn CHP.
Another excellent video, Shane! Can't decide if I prefer the b&w or color negative for the reflected mountain shot at 13:01 - both are amazing photographs! Wondering if you're working towards a project of sorts, perhaps a photobook or an exhibition? Regards from Canada.
Thanks, Dika. The B&W work will be a separate body of work. Certainly a book one day, hopefully some gallery exhibitions in the future.

I don't even shoot film, let alone large format but really do enjoy your channel.
I Love it

Hello, could you please tell what piece you use un the top of the Gitzo tripod tu hold the camera ? many thanks in advance

Ever used a Deardorff?
I find myself wondering if you unload the film holders and send the film off or does the lab unload them. I can’t imagine you sending in the film holders
I mainly process the film at home. If I have 20+ sheets of C41/E6, then sometimes it’s easier to take it to a lab. I always develop my own B&W.
Hi Shane ! Great video !!! How is your photo lab ?
Thanks! It’s on pause until Spring. The ground is frozen and I need to trench for electrical and plumbing.
@@shanedignum Thanks for reply. Yours photos are great !
Always liked when learning ho
Mercedes Benz G Model ?
You know the film holder has two colored sides, one black and one white, if you flip them you will always know what side is exposed. I use white unexposed, black exposed.
Mercedes G ? Model number ?
He's posted a video about the G-Wagon previously. Look back and you'll find it.
