Here I am talking about the 4x5 large format camera. I went to Picture Canyon in southeast Colorado and took some photographs with the 4x5. On this trip I am talking about the Large Format 4x5 Camera and some of the controls on it.

@1:41 "It's my faaaaaaavorite camera." I got the Calumet version, with original case and rocking a Wollensak lens. At nearly 70-years old I'm retraining walking 5 miles almost every day, trying to get fit enough to drag my ass and gear to some landscape spots. The beauty of studio work is you control the light . . . in landscape, God does! And light is everything in the 'taking' of a great landscape photo.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to get out the camera and look around and see the great shot that is in front of you. Only you have the power to capture the scene that is in front you at that moment in time , SO get out and start shooting again!! I will be starting a photography class soon so stay subscribe to my channel. Thanks.

@@outdoorswithbrad9265 So, driving to a scene by the road that is marked, 'Scenic Photographic Overlook' isn't cheating just a little bit? Tongue-in-Cheek my friend . . . I used to haul my medium and large format kits up mountain trails, 1.5 to 3 miles, to get 'that shot.' At 70 and still recovering from a paralyzing case of Guillaine-Barre', retraining and recovery is spurred on, motivated to get out there again. I even bought a cool little RV! But unless you live in Abiquiu, New Mexico or Yosemite, travel and hiking finding 'large format worthy' photos can take hundreds of miles, days-weeks on the road, and a bit of luck. It took Ansel Adams years driving by the little town of Hernandez until one evening, one 8x20 Ansco plate left, he happened to catch it at sunset/moonrise! Fate and, literally, the planets aligned for him!

Interesting to see someone else using one of these old monorail cameras. Almost everyone else uses more compact, and lighter, field cameras. You have the Graphic View; I use the very similar Burke & James Grover 4x5 monorail. I use the Brett Weston philosophy: if it's more than 100 feet from the car, it isn't photogenic. 😅

@outdoorswithbrad9265 5 ай бұрын

Right!! I use that same philosophy. Even 100 feet is too much sometimes and sometimes I wish that I had a 4x5 field camera, but I have been shooting with this camera from the start of my 4x5 shooting days.

I used this exact camera when I was in high school in the late fifties. I bought one a few years ago and you have inspired me to get it out and use it. I’ll use it with a 120 roll film adapter because I don’t have a way to develop 4x5 film. Why did you use a red filter?

@outdoorswithbrad9265 5 ай бұрын

Thanks. I use the red filter for the blue sky. I shoot B/W film and the red filter turns the blue sky black or close to it so the clouds stand out.

Darn....I've heard about Picture Canyon for years and this is the first video I have ever seen from there. I was hoping to learn more about the canyon but unfortunately your video is more about your camera and very little about the canyon. Boo-hoo....

Sorry. But go there and see it for yourself. It is very nice and remote.
