    Hi Shane. I'm a huge fan of your work and videos. All of the images in this are stellar but the last for me really resonated. The colour palette is only how nature can do it (it seems), and the composition is gorgeous. It would look incredible on any wall. Definitely deserved more than 5 seconds air time! Keep up the great work and thank you for your content 👌

    Shane, love your work! I've been watching your channel for a few weeks and going back thru some of the past episodes. 20+ years ago when I gave up film and darkrooms and embraced digital photography I was in heaven - no more messy chemicals and film to buy not to mention trying to mimic the tools you find Photoshop and other software. Digital is soo much easier but, maybe I lost something from the film days. I shoot medium format which, like your 8x10 camera, tends to slow you down and make you very deliberate in your process. I also love the 4x10 format film which is close to the XPAN format that Hasselblad developed in the 90's. Without question, your work is some of the finest film photography I've ever seen and I was wondering if you would do a video about your development process. Maybe you have but I didn't see anything going back through you channel. I am toying with the idea of buying a 8x10 camera but don't remember much about developing film except it was messy and smelly.

  • @PatAcct
    @PatAcct 4 місяці тому

    If you slide the rear forward to the front and use your long lupe to poke into the (lower 2) corners of the groundglass, is it hard to see if there is vignetting when using the 210mm? How far can you push the rear stardard forward before the vignetting starts to kick in? Better when using the 240mm? Will it solve the issue by using a longer lupe tube? The rear standard does not offer a possibility to rise, which would have solved the problem, I guess.

    • @shanedignum
      @shanedignum 4 місяці тому

      Hey Pat, using a loupe is a good idea. I was out photographing with the 210 yesterday. If I hold my head further away from the bottom corners, it is possible to get a view of the lens. It's just a little tricky, especially if you have the camera tilted upward a bit.

    • @PatAcct
      @PatAcct 4 місяці тому

      Hey@@shanedignum, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate it. I was running into the same issue this May when I exposed a sheet of film to make my shot here (UA-cam does not allow to post link to flickr, I will try to attach it in a separate message). I was using a 240mm apo symmar which has a small image circle and offers not much movement. I have risen the front standard and simultaneously tilted it downward to gain a bit more dof. Actually I was using the very same camera as yours. I have used it for many years and I attribute the vignetting to my operational negligence. While I can't rise the rear standard to provide better access to the 2 bottom corners of the ground glass which would have avoided the vignetting on the top of the shot, had I put more attention to this. It's not easy to lean my body forward a lot to come very close to the rear standard because the bottom plate goes against my chest and the rear standard was moved far toward the front, but it's still possible to workaround that by using a loupe with a longer tube which I have been a bit lazy to use while setting up the shot. There was very few camera which offers rear rise movement. I come across the Lotus camera which actually can. Cheers Patrick

    Your darkroom is up and running! Congrats. On the second shot it seems the bellows was almost at full extension, no? Looked a bit precarious sitting on that ledge there. I liked the first shot of the second composition better than the last shot, I think having the cloud in there helped it. Just my two cents.

    • @shanedignum
      @shanedignum 4 місяці тому

      Yes! it's up and running. This camera has 36" of bellows, it was extended out to 24". I agree, I think I like the 1st exposure more.
