This video is a follow-up image review/critique/discussion/thing for my "Photography On Location: Route 66" video (be sure to check that out first (link below).
Watch this on-location video first: • Photography On Locatio...
In this video, I will dive deeper into my thought process behind these photos and I will also explain some of the technical aspects involved with creating these images. For instance, dynamic range is a very important topic to consider when choosing film for your medium format, large format, or 35mm camera. A good photographer should understand the contrast characteristics of their film so as to maximize image quality and creative control.
Here I explain how dynamic range works and how different dynamic ranges impact the final look of your photos. I specifically compare Fujifilm Velvia 100 film to Kodak Portra 160 shot in a 6x17 format, but the topics discussed apply equally to all transparency film and negative film stocks.
I also review the photos I made using Polaroid film and all of the images I created with my Mamiya RZ67.
This video is for the diehard photography junkies out there, whether analog film photography is your thing or you're a straight-up digital photographer, I hope you'll find something interesting and useful in this video.

Absolutely best fine art photography channel I've seen so far and I really doubt if there is any better out there. The way you work in focus and the pictures are amazing. And btw. I'm the same when it comes to picking one and "the best" way of editing photos. I literaly do the same: - this one it's okay 5 minutes later: - hm, warmer tones looks better Cheers and thanks for the videos :)

Glad to have you back. I always look forward to your videos. And for people like me who are fascinated by film but are so crippled photographically to take on the daunting task of shooting film, it helps A LOT when you throw in brief tutorials on why you’re using each each equipment. Would also love if you threw in tips on metering from time to time. Truly appreciate the effort you put into these videos. Keep up the good work!

Hi Nick, thanks for the video... I shot a LOT of Velvia, 35 & 6x7, and would often shoot, in the desert, or places like Hawaii, with 1/2-2/3 stop overexposure, and the same amount of 'pull' processing, which allowed me to shoot a 20-step Kodak card with gradation at every step...
