Great video Chris and lovely pictures !...I love the honesty of your video's and how you take the viewer through the whole shooting process mistakes and all , Great work !!
That photo of the leaf on the sandstone was superb, Chris. I thought maybe you'd need a warming filter but it turned out great. Contrived? You are not recording history but creating art. Thus you have artistic privilege don't you think. The second shot; such beautiful textures. The final shot, I've done that too. Just need to remember to from the start slide things up towards the front at the start when shooting 90 or wider on the Chamonix. The composition and overall results were amazing as that foreground was indeed as much of the story as the maples. Great day for you, Chris.
Chris, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. What a lovely gift on Christmas morning to find this video. And a great start to your fall trip it was. Looking forward to the rest of the trip.
A 90mm on my Graflex pics up the end of the bed, also. You definitely don't see it on the ground glass. It did quash any desire to get a wider lens, which is good. Great shots again. Thanks!
Hey Chris, nice to see you back. That wave shaped rock is kind of epic. Absolutely beautiful. I wouldn't worry so much about edge crops, especially with crimp-n-dip processing, you always have to leave a little extra for that...
Absolute bangers! Gotta love the ability to crop in on large format without losing too much detail. Wide angle on large format seems like such a crap shoot. It always amazes me the things I get in my photos, that I don't see, when using my Fujinon 75mm SWD.
Nice to see your videos again. Love the arty first leaf on a rock background. It was good to see you be in tune with nature and accepting the misfortune of a friendly insect in the eye 😉🦟
a tip, there is a feature on the chamonix/Shen-Hao cameras, which allows the rear standard to be shifted forward, so set the front standard on the front hole, and move the rear standard forward, like a drop-bed camera (linhof Technika), this drop-bed gets rid of the focus rail from the cone of coverage; the rear shift forward works on other cameras to do the same thing.
Thanks for the suggestion, that's a feature I forget about and certainly need to take advantage of more when I'm shooting these wide angles, I'll keep that in mind!
a question, with the Nikon 210 mm lens in the second shot, what filter system did you use, as for most searches you come up with mirrorless systems, at
Typically with the large format camera I'm carrying my Lee 100mm square filter kit with adapters for each of my lenses, it just seems so much more universal to go that route and use the same filters for everything, including the 105mm lee landscape polarizer that goes on the front of the holder.
@@ChrisDarnell thanks, I asked this on the next video, but does this fit on the wide lens too ?, as say the fuji 90mm f 5.6 has a very large front group so not many systems would fit it, as they are limited by the adaptor rings they can take, or to have to resort to a clamp on the outside of the lens to affix the holder system.( I have just come into a Sinar F2, with that 90 mm lens in the kit), so need to be sure it fits.
good subject, but at 2:00 wow, that lens only has the tabs 1mm on the board!!, sure it will hold the lens?- then you go and point the camera straight down above a rock...…brave.
Haha, thanks Andy. True, those locks don't appear to engage very far, but they're pretty solid once they're in, I think it looks worse on the video than it really is

Thanks Frank! Happy holidays to you guys as well!
The Nikkor w 210mm was my first ever LF lens, and to this day, probably stll my favorite. Thanks for the inspiring video, Chris!
Thanks Rene! It's quickly becoming a favorite of mine as well!
Superb image Chris! Love the final product! Looking forward to seeing more of your creations!
Thanks Tony!
Nice shots
love all the frames...
Very nice images, my favorite was the sandstone ear with leaves in it.
Thanks Dann!

Thanks! I have that Fuji 75mm as well and I totally agree, ha!
@@ChrisDarnell you are the reason I bought it lol 😂
Nice images!
Thanks Russ!
The picture of the leaves in the rock swirl is stunning.
Thank you!
Nice to see your videos again. Love the arty first leaf on a rock background. It was good to see you be in tune with nature and accepting the misfortune of a friendly insect in the eye 😉🦟
Haha, thanks Andrew!
Really dig the first image. 210mm is one of my favorites.
Thanks Antonio, agreed, it's quickly becoming a favorite of mine as well!
Nice work Chris. Really like the final scene with the warming filter
Thanks so much Brian!
Fake Leaf v2.0 :D Nice Video!
😆 Danke mein Freund!

If NFTs can be art and sold for millions then you can compose the shot by putting a leaf on a rock.
Haha great point…
