    I love the new, more casual, style of your videos and also the more frequent uploads!

    Love the “I don’t have my light meter and arrived later than I wanted” then straight heat photos.. great work Willem!

    having so much fun with this one, dude. ❤

    I'm blown away by the dynamic range and details of that first shot. It's most probably a function of the medium used but still, I find it absolutely gorgeous.

    • @Zetaphotography
      @Zetaphotography 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Exactly how did you measure this from a video?

  • @Verygrimcoyote
    @Verygrimcoyote ปีที่แล้ว +13

    As someone based in Glendale this was a welcome treat to see some sights I recognized! Definitely inspiring to see a new perspective on places I've seen for the better part of 5 years.

  • @oldaccountab9362
    @oldaccountab9362 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    It’s so great to see you go out and just try something new, capture some frames that aren’t perfect and just experiment. Really gets me inspired to go out there and just shoot whatever!

  • @SingularityEngine
    @SingularityEngine ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I'm actually kinda blown away with the first picture, that is gorgeous! How you can captura that much detail and dynamic range through just guessing a minute of exposure astounds me.

    Manfrotto makes a $20 spacer to go under that gear head, worth it to keep the full function of the bottom knob on that gear head. 4x5 is perfect for using filters..invest in some graduates…if your going to shoot film make it right when you shoot it! If you are shooting chrome find the time where your film starts to reciprocity fail..riding your exposures around that zone will make much more interesting skies…great start ..have fun with it.

    I am really happy you’re working with Large Format again!
    I have a Wista 45D that I’ve been using for Many years, and I recently sold all my 35mm and and medium format cameras (including my Leica M3) and bought a beautiful 8x10 Wista and I couldn’t be happier!
    It’s definitely not for everyone but as someone who lives life rather slowly, large format is perfect for me.

  • @KazumaOguraVideos
    @KazumaOguraVideos ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I’m happy to be able to watch your TH-cam video more frequently than before, surprised to see the details of 4×5 again. Beautiful photos as always!

  • @tedphillips2951
    @tedphillips2951 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    A very real video showing what happens with film photography particularly 4x5. Years ago in my photo course I had to shoot 4x5 & recently I decided to give it a go again. It is a lot of work but very rewarding. I think the learning curve is quite large but definitely opens another dimension in photography. Not for the faint of heart. I'm certainly not ready for color it is
    Fomapan for me!

  • @seanmlemoine
    @seanmlemoine ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Gosh. Love these videos so much. It’s so great seeing your process and thoughts and you actually take lovely photos which can be kinda rare with TH-cam photography channels.

  • @thurstonhowell3569
    @thurstonhowell3569 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Ahh, the good old changing bag! Got to get the film notches on the correct side. Memories of trying to load damp 35mm film onto a damp spiral and then into the developing tank.. Infuriating! Stunning picture, btw.

  • @Fortnite87463
    @Fortnite87463 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great video, love the 4x5 stuff. I love when there is more talking about each frame and a longer process. Nick Carver is really good with that, cool to see you doing it too.

  • @susanhuber7807
    @susanhuber7807 ปีที่แล้ว

    There is nothing like a large format negative. I use a 8 x10 inch camera made for me. I always forget something and sometimes that's fun, guessing more than less for exposures and hoping you can see all planes of focus. Remember to place the dark cloth over the camera when the holder is in...esp. if waiting for a long time for exposure, there can be a light leak. Well done!

  • @finlaymartins272

  • @bobsykes
    @bobsykes ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Great new topic to explore. It must be fun, and a challenge, to think up new things to do each video release. As a former film (we're talking 40 some years) and now digital only shooter, at least at the moment, the idea of trying your Fuji and this 4x5 for the same or similar shots in this potential project would really be of interest. Always great to see your posts! Cheers! ✌

  • @SlavaVeres
    @SlavaVeres ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Awesome images! Do continue this highway project! 4x5 gives such a unique look.

      Same! I was just thinking to myself how calming his videos are. Perfect for unwinding before bed.

  • @gracekao4652
    @gracekao4652 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video, nice to see the 4x5! If you’re interested in LA freeways, you should check out Catherine Opie’s “Freeway” series! A different approach to the subject, she shot them in the mid-90s with a panoramic camera in B&W.

  • @velyvely6479
    @velyvely6479 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Love that first shot! Excited for this new project, i was wanting to ask if you felt like working on something new and then this vid came along :)

  • @TheSololobo
    @TheSololobo ปีที่แล้ว

    Im a 35 and 120 shooter and out of the blue I just wondered what 4x5 in color would look like, Im glad I clicked on your video first, those were some really nice photos, keep'm coming.

  • @nelsonchen7823
    @nelsonchen7823 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    love the start of this series! 4x5 perfectly captures all the intricate details

  • @BryanBirks
    @BryanBirks ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think your video shooting black and white 4x5 of the dude (Greg I think?) with the killer beard in NYC is the first thing I saw that made me want to shoot large format. It just looked so different.
    Nice to see you working back to it. Chill video per usual 🍻

    I really love these LF photographs! They turned out quite well. Especially the first one is awesome! Please do try shooting with a GFX. I personally very curious to see how you’ll utilize this camera for this kind of photography. I own GFX50R and currently shooting a documentary project on construction of a light railway train system in Ottawa 🇨🇦 along the local 417 highway.

  • @patrickrostker6693

    Great video. It reminds me to be more considered in my shots. Shooting digital these days, I've grown used to the many frames per second shooting rates and think in some cases it actually makes my image making worse.

    The one thing I kind of dislike is that omnipresent haze, the kind I sort of associate with a California nowadays. I hate shooting when I see that haze.
    But damn, does 4x5 hold up ever well. While not as easy to use, these cameras absolutely hold up against some of the best Digital (single) images.
