Looking forward to seeing how you solve the composition of that slot canyon in the years to come. Those rocks are another great example of nature's zen gardens you are so apt at finding and capturing. Thank you for sharing. (and maybe you'll get one of those lions to cameo on a trail cam in the future)

Thanks Mitch! That scene with the maple in the slot canyon is a tough once since I really want to have more of that foreground wall to enhance the sense of layers. I was backed all the way up against the opposing canyon wall, but perhaps I should see if I can find a solution with my wider lens or from a different vantage point. I know I'll be back there again next year to see if I can find a different solution. Thanks as always for watching!

Thanks Bryan! That composition was a fun one with all those natural lines. I may have to give it another shot with fresher film just to make sure I'm 100% satisfied with it, but thankfully those rocks aren't going anywhere anytime soon. It's on my bucketlist to experience Zion during a significant storm, though I also realize it would greatly limit where I could go since the access to my favorite areas would be cut off by dangerous torrents of violent floodwaters. I can only imagine how it would sound though!

Thanks Brian! The video toward the end of this day was filmed with my little Sony ZV-1, and it would be a goner if it took a tumble because of the extending lens. I lucked out on this day, but I've had my main video camera (Sony A7s2) take a tumble on multiple occasions, resulting in a broken mic, a broken lens, and a dinged lens hood on a different lens. the camera never sustained any damage. When working with the A7s2 on windy days, I flatten the tripod now so it's windproof. My ZV-1 is perched on an ultralight tripod made of tent poles that can't flatten out, so I'll just keep my fingers crossed on that one. Thanks as always for watching and commenting Brian!

@@BenHorne that's smart. My R5 was the one that tumbled, and thankfully the 16-35 lens is super tough so it was fine. But the R5 nearly fell on the articulating screen, which surely would've popped that thing off. Somehow it hit at just the right angle and the fall closed it with the L-Bracket and body taking the brunt of the fall. At least it didn't go over the cliff I was near. Now I flatten that sucker out!

I love the layered look of the tree peaking out from behind the wall, but I just couldn't find a way to get more of that wall in the composition to give the sense of depth the scene had. My camera was pushed up against the opposing wall and I couldn't get any further from the subject.

Thanks Trevor! Most of the film I shoot is technically expired, but only by a couple years and it's stored frozen. It should still be fine even after 10 years if stored frozen (and more time is added to the exposure), but this film was only 4.5 years expired. Another batch of the same film with an expiration date 6 months later was still okay. In any case, I learned what my own threshold is for expiration dates, and I stocked up with some more fresh Provia after returning. Provia was very hard to find for the majority of 2022, but now it seems to be available again.

When you were shooting the last composition in this video, I noticed that the camera/tripod appeared to be slightly taller than you while exposing. That was probably due to video camera angles etc…but it made me wonder - in the field, how do you deal with composition and subsequent focusing when the camera needs to be in a position you can’t easily operate from your feet? Do you stand on your bag or carry an ultralight stool? Or are those kind of compositions just non-starters for you?

That is indeed a challenge at times. Seeing the top of the ground glass is a challenge when the camera is up high. In some situations, I'm able to stack a couple rocks to take a peak at it, though I wouldn't have done that for this scene because the placement of the rocks here felt sacred, but I've done that in some canyons where the rocks are frequently rearranged by flash floods. I haven't brought a lightweight folding stool with me, but I know that's a technique some photographers use. It would certainly come in handy while photographing salt flats or other subjects along those lines. Thanks as always for watching Ted!

Having recently tried to photography Waimea Canyon in an afternoon (while the wife waited in the car!), I have an acute appreciation that returning to an area year after year affords the slow contemplative approach you take. The frantic "I got to get it now even though I know it's not very good" vs your ability to pass this year and try again next year (or the year after that!) when the light is better or your understanding of the scene has grown is so striking. Please continue to inspire the rest of us to slow down and get to know our subjects. I hope you find a better supply of quality film. It's a shame when all of that hard work is diminished due to out of date film.

Thanks Mike! My wife and I recently returned from a 10 day visit to Maui, and I didn't bring a "real" camera on that trip. Just a GoPro and a RX100 for some snapshots of us that are better than what a phone can do. One of the things I've learned about myself is that I need to be in a specific mindset to take photos, and that mindset is best accomplished by traveling solo to familiar locations. It's difficult for me to photograph subjects I don't have a strong connection with. Even though we saw some beautiful sights in Hawaii, I never wished I had my "real" camera with me because it's a location I haven't yet formed a connection with-which is all the more reason to return to the islands on future visits. :-) Thanks for watching and commenting Mike!

@BenHorne
@BenHorne Жыл бұрын
Thanks Thomas! From what I understand, they're incredibly elusive animals and although I'm sure they've seen me countless times through the years, I've never seen them. They go out of their way to avoid people, and would likely hurry their cubs away if they hears/smelled me coming. There was a video a few years ago where a hiker in Utah came across a protective mountain lion on a trail. The video went viral, and those who watched it only saw what looked like an aggressive mountain lion pursing the hiker. But if you watch carefully at the beginning of the video, you'll notice a different angle to the story. Before pulling the phone from his pocket and hitting the record button, the hiker noticed 2 young mountain lion cubs on the trail. Instead of backing away, he decided to pull his phone out, hit record, and then start walking TOWARD the cubs. Those cubs called out to momma cat who was nearby, and she proceeded to push the hiker away until he was far enough from the cubs to no longer be a danger. It wasn't interested in attacking him, only to make a show of getting him to back off. The wise thing would have been to back away immediately and remove himself from the situation. That being said, at least he didn't turn his back to the cat, bend down, or run away from it. I also suspect that if he had kicked some rocks at it, it might have backed off sooner. So that all being said, it all comes down to being aware of one's surroundings. Thanks for watching and commenting Thomas!

Love your video, they are really unique. You talked about the wind and the leaves, and the experiments you made with the light on the rock subject. I remember that you bought a Sony to test out more stuff that the big 8x10 prevents you form doing. What stopped you form using it? Did it not fit its purpose of exploring, trial & testing ? Or is it just that you prefer doing everything on large format?
@BenHorne
@BenHorne Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the kind words! I sold the Sony and all the lenses for it last year. I bought the Sony because I felt I might have been missing out on certain aspects of photography by working with film. I thought perhaps owning the Sony would allow me to experiment more, but working with digital only reaffirmed my existing approach with film is better for me. With film, I feel directly connected to the subjects I photograph, which leads to a lasting sense of satisfaction and timelessness with my work. With digital, I didn't feel a connection with the subject to the same degree, and my work lacked the sense of timelessness that it does with film. If I successfully capture a photo on film, I feel that image will stand the test of time. If I successfully capture a photo on digital, I know I will wish that photo was taken with a better camera/lens as new ones become available. That's the beauty of working with a mature technology such as film and with large format cameras. It was an interesting experiment, but not a total loss. When I sold the Sony kit, I used those funds to purchase the Chamonix Alpinist 8x10 camera seen in this video. A camera that has since become my primary camera because it's lightweight and well suited for my style of photography. Thanks for watching and commenting, and that was a great question.

For that last rock photo, how would it have turned out if you'd taken it with the shadows? I was kind of liking the look of the shadows in the cracks and behind the rocks. Is that too much dynamic range for film?

Thanks Chad! The dynamic range of that scene while sunlit would have been too much for slide film (4 to 5 stops), resulting in a very harsh image, but it would be well suited for B&W with it's extremely generous dynamic range. I hope to shoot that scene on B&W film on a future visit to see how it looks. Thanks for watching and commenting Chad!

For the tree and canyon image, did you consider a vertical? your current horizontal image does look a bit odd (not in a bad way). Also, did you consider tilting the back on the rocks image? That would cause the rock in the foreground to increase in relative size without changing the relative position and spacing between the other rocks. Just a thought when you go back next time. And one more thought- a large golf umbrella held right around the camera can help you spill the wind around the camera while you check that there is no motion up canyon from the wind that has passed (causes motion blur in the subject like leaves). Just one more thing to schlep into the canyons.
@BenHorne
@BenHorne Жыл бұрын
On that first scene, I loved how the tree is peaking out from behind the "folds" in the canyon walls. My goal was to show the walls in front of and behind the tree to portray a sense of depth, but my 240mm lens wasn't quite wide enough, resulting in not showing as much of the foreground wall as I would have liked. My camera was pushed all the way back against the opposing wall, so I couldn't get back any further. I may play with camera placement next time, or even using my wider lens on that scene, though that scene is VERY wide by comparison. For the scene with the rocks, it actually didn't cross my mind to use rear movements on that scene, though I will say that I'm quite restrained with the movements with my lightweight lenses because the image circles aren't very generous. I used a bit of front tilt on that one, and sometimes combining that with rear movements pushes the lens beyond it's limits. I was using my tiny Fujinon C 300mm f/8.5 for that photo. When it comes to umbrellas, I carry two different ones in my vehicle (a small folding one, and a golf umbrella), though they often see much more use in Death Valley where the wind can be constant. With the rolling topography in Zion, I find there's often enough of a pause between the wind for me to shoot what I need to. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Doesn't it almost seem like the wind is attracted to dark slides? I mean it is uncanny. Pull the dark slide and gusts of wind appear when there were not. It is probably some sort of scientific fact... like how the sun goes down faster when you are trying to get the shots of the beach. I know this to be true. I've seen it too many times. :-)

@BenHorne
@BenHorne Жыл бұрын
Hi Travis! It's quite common to work with expired film these days since fresh stock can be scarce at times, so I have a tendency to stock up when it's more widely available. I have a chest freezer in my garage where I store all my film, and when stored frozen, the useful life extends well beyond the expiration date. I'd say on average, the film I use is about 2 years beyond the expiration date. I've read that when stored properly, you're often good for about 10 years beyond the expiration date, though when stored that long you need to give it a bit more exposure to compensate. The film in question here expired in early 2018 which honestly isn't much older than my normal range. And while the film looked fine on first glance, it's when I scanned it that I noticed the difference. The shadow tones had an unnatural muddy look to them, and when I look at the dark borders of the film, I see it's not quite as dark as it should be. Another batch of film I used that expired about a half year later was still okay. I now know my only personal limit for expired film is about 4.5 years. After this trip, I saw Provia was available again, so I stocked up with a few more boxes. My next trip will all be with fresh film. Thanks as always for watching and commenting Travis!

My next trip will be with fresh film. Thanks as always for watching and commenting!

@BenHorne
@BenHorne Жыл бұрын
One of the things I love about that scene is how the maple peaks out from behind the canyon walls. My disappointment with the composition stems from not having enough of the foreground canyon wall to give a true sense of depth. Instead, the composition seems to be divided in thirds. Rock, tree, rock. My camera was backed up as far as it could be against the opposing rock wall so I can't get back any further, but I may experiment with some different camera placements, or perhaps using an even wider lens next time. In any case, it's a challenge for next year-though this time with fresh film. Thanks for watching and commenting!
