That sprint for the light was amazing! Great to show people that even though large format means you take your time, it’s not so unapproachable that you can’t do a speedy shot if you really needed to. Lovely video as always. And amazing result after the work for those solitary frames
Todd, you’re fast becoming one of my absolute favorite things to watch on RUclips. It’s so good! Interesting, fun and great hats. The pyramid shaped formation at sunset is a beautiful photograph. Lovely.
Great video and photos, Todd! I completely identify with the sequence of you scrambling to get the shot before the light changes. I somehow seem to frequently forget to compensate for the filter factor though... I use an Eastman View 5x7 and an 8x10 2D which I've also restored. Done much of my shooting here in the desert Southwest, especially Death Valley, and I agree the wind can play a big factor. The wife and I plan on moving up to BC over the next few years (she's from London ON) and I look forward to new photographic opportunities up there. Cheers!
Thanks, one way I get around the filter factor is work that into the iso of your light meter right off the bat, so if I'm shooting 400 iso film I set the meter to 200 iso if I'm using my yellow filter that requires 1 stop more of light. Moments like this is where that pays off.
It is actually always the same steps and the same order. But when the light is running out, it has to be quick. Also measure the exposure beforehand and only then focus and take the picture. Mostly it was worth the stress! With you it was definitely worth it.
Thanks yes, in large format for me everything is nice slow and calm until great light happens and I know it's only going to be there for a few minutes, then all craziness breaks loose!
You make great videos and this was excellent. Love the setup and then the results you share. Maybe a return trip is possible when there is just some light snow? You might capture some more great images in the same area. Love the hat!
Thank you for this, Todd. These videos have become quite enjoyable. You really nailed the panic we all feel when that fleeting light presents itself. I recently got a very similar Eastman View 5x7 2D and installed some flashy new bellows. It seems you are stopping down to 32 and 45 quite a bit. Is this what you are doing to compensate for the lack of front lens movements?
I love your videos and images Todd! So inspiring to sit here and watch before heading out myself. What tripod and head are you using here? Thanks! Alexander Stockholm in Sweden
Thank you so much for watching. The tripod is a Gitzo 1545T and the head is a Benro geared head, GD3WH 3 way. I just got the head and I’m trying it out, will do a review of it in a few weeks after I shoot with it more.
@@toddkorolphoto Thank you for responding! It truly looks like a pleasure to use just by judging this video. A 3-way head looks like just the right thing for me on the field.
Hi Todd, Great work with the 5x7, I've recently gotten mine (an Agfa/Ansco) done and out for a couple tests just this morning; I noticed this in your video you had your 5x7 on a ball head then switched to the geared head. How is the geared head working and what type/brand is it? Thanks -Sean
I did, this was the first time using it and I like it a lot, it actually works better than I thought. I thought the ball head would be quicker, but it's actually not. I am going to do a review of this and switching from a ball head to geared head. I like it but need to use it a bit more first. It's a Benro link in my description.
@@toddkorolphoto Ah nice! I completely missed the gear list :) I did a quick check on my B&H wish list and wouldn't you know it, the Benro gear head is there so I'll be looking forward to your review of it. I'm also contemplating the "Induro PHQ3 PHQ Series 5-Way Panhead" as well. I have been a little reluctant to keep the 5x7 attached to my RRS BH-55, any trouble with securing yours?
@@seanmoore4153 No but my 5x7 camera is very light so I'm not too worried about it. Having said that I've walked around with a 15 pound 8x10 deardorff on my tripod like that over my shoulder.

I always say the best photo of the day is the one you see as you are packing up and then the light starts to explode. It never fails!
Always!
You make my day with this Video. I can see how passionate you are about the photography. Beautiful images.
Thank you. I really liked making this one as well.

Love to see another great video and the pictures turned out outstanding! Well done Todd!
Thanks, it's easy to get lucky in a place like that.
Very nice video, Todd. I'm relieved to see that I'm not alone in panicking when great but fleeting light presents itself.
I always start panicking when that happens ;-)
thanks for sharing! loved seeing you in hectic stress :-)
Yes, happens way too often ;-)
Inspiring work, can’t wait to get out again once this UK lockdown ends.
Thanks, yes it sucks, numbers are starting to climb high here as well, stay safe.
excellent, thank you
The wait the flow all systematic no need to rush knocking over the camera dropping gear etc... Large format is enjoying the moment making the picture
Indeed it is. But great light can be fleeting.
Great video Todd! Loved seeing the badlands of Alberta and the photos you captured.
5:44 EPIC

Way to move towards the end there, I totally understand :)
Hello. New subscriber here. Beautiful shots. Thank you.
Thank you, welcome.

Yes, and for this series really working on trying to get everything sharp.

Excellent, what camera?
It’s a 1909 Criterion that I restored. I did a video on the restoration, check it out. Thanks.
@@toddkorolphoto Thank you.
Hi, what's that camera's weight?
Just 2 1/2 pounds.

I think this is more of a video on how to be unprepared for a shot.
Nice job do you do your developing
Yes I have a nice little darkroom at home, develop my film in a Jobo tank.
