Thank you kind sir!
Really great video, i enjoyed watching people just have fun taking pictures and seeing the great pictures you took! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for the kind comment!
Another kick ass photography adventure from Dave. Love your in the field videos.
Thanks so much! I love doing these videos.
Your videos are amazing. Happy to see your channel growing!
Thanks so much!
Considering picking up an M11 or an M6 for my first Leica experience ever. Have been binging your stuff and so excited to see a new drop. Thanks!
You can’t go wrong with either!
Love this video and the images. I’ve done the drive from LA to Bishop/Mammoth many times and didn’t realize what I was missing along the way!
Next time you do the drive be sure to stop some along the way! A lot of great stuff out there!
what a dope lil trip! gives me the itch to go out and shoot!
Heck yeah bro! Let’s do something sometime!
So beautiful video 😍
Thanks!
Fantastic photos! Alabama Hills is ridiculously photogenic... I need to make another trip back out there.
Thank you! I love going out there.
Dave, loved it! Eastern Sierra is my second favorite area to shoot. Sierras (Off the 120, 108, etc.) is my favorite for landscape! Looks like a great trip.
The Eastern Sierra's are so beautiful. Too bad it's hard to get to them from the Bay!
Cool vidéo !!!
Thanks!
Epic video and pictures! Thanks for inviting us along!
You’re amazing and thanks for the thumbnail!
After seeing your last video and then this one. I remember that's how I discovered your channel, the Q2 vs the A7RV. Love the shots you created and the video.
Thanks so much!
Saw this on my feed. Grabbed a coffee and soaked it all in. Really enjoyed this.
Awesome! Got another video like this one coming later this month.
Amazing moments at the Trona Pinnacles.
It was unreal!
This is so righteous, and the shots are superb! I know this is Cali, but this makes me yearn to go back to Montana so bad haha
Thanks bro!
Great vid. I find cemeteries incredibly peaceful. All those people are at rest now and in eternal beatitude. We are the ones who still have to labour. Loved the image @ 22:40
Good thought! Thanks for sharing.
Great! Dave-did you do the filming on the SL2-S?
No, the Sony A7SIII for this one. Still learning the SL2S.
Great video. Next time, please hold a beat or two longer on each photo so we have time to fully appreciate the photo and still read the EXIF info next to it (thanks for including that!).
Thanks for the feedback! Alternatively you can just pause the video.
@@davidherring I can pause of course, but I guess I'm just being needy because that stops the flow of the audio and pulls me out of the moment.
Super epic shots in this series. Got me wanting to book a flight with a rental car :)
Haha come on!
Awesome again Dave. That makes me wanna enter a plane and head West immediately 😂.
Haha it’s only a what, 10hr flight or so?
@@davidherring yes just a decision and a 10-11 hour flight. We‘ll see what happens in the future. I will let you know for sure in advance
Really great Video and captures!
Nice Soundtrack too, which Interpret is it?
It’s various artists, all sourced from Epidemic Sound.
@GhostTownLiving Cerro Gordo looking amazing as always. You two should do a collab!
A dream. I DM’d him on IG a little before I went there but never heard back. He’s really busy I’m sure!
@@davidherring The hotel project in the winter time must be extremely tough. Hopefully when the hotel is completed you two will be in kahoots to document such a project! PS: Hope you had a great new years!
@syncryptic_2233 happy new year to you too!
Thanks for bringing us along on your adventure! What a difference it makes to have multiple shooters that allows you to splice in all kinds of different footage - it really ups the production value. That M11/50 combo is something special. I just got back from a trip overseas and used my Q2 90% of the time. I'm seriously considering selling a bunch of Sony gear to help fund an M11 purchase. Videos like this don't help!! 🤣🤣
That’s exactly what I did over the last 18 months… sold Sony gear to go Leica. Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the video!
I travel to the Eastern Sierra frequently. Thanks for sharing new locations to shoot. BTW, is the M11 permanent now?
Awesome! So many cool places. Yep, the M11 is permanent. 💪🏼
Great one! Thanks for sharing. What's the tan camera strap you have?
Clever Supply Minimal! It’s my fav strap. So classic and ages awesome.
@@davidherring awesome thank you!
Used to go up there all the time fishing and camping
Our astronomy club had tour of the radio telescopes we got to go inside and heard the signal from Voyager 😊😊
So cool!
Happy new year from Germany. Really enjoy watching those landscape vids.
Which presets are you using? Sorry for the question - I am new to your channel.
Thanks for watching! verygoodpresets.com and each preset I’m using is listed on the photo as “VGP ___” 💪🏼
@@davidherring thanks so much for the reply.
Was a blast watching this vid!
03:18 Seems like J.R.Bean was a freemason, very interesting.
05:36 I love this picture! Well done!
05:52 Stunning colors. Love the shot!
05:56 Yet simple but eyecatching!
06:12 Good eye!
06:57 Very beautiful, as 07:44.
09:06 What an amazing shot! You really inspire me to take out my M11 and go out to make some pictures as well.
10:25 Great shot!
11:14 I love it! Again great eye for composition
19:14 awesome shot!
And 26:13 are my favourites so far.
Thanks for taking us with you!
By the way for how long do you shoot on leica and how do you like it so far?
Is the SL2 yours as well?
Thanks for the detailed comment. This kind of comment really makes my day! I started shooting Leica in 2022 and I love it. I’m almost exclusively Leica now, with Sony only for video (and that’s changing, too). The SL2S is mine, picked it up a couple of months ago. That’s becoming my video camera as I’m moving from Sony. I love it! But I’m anxiously awaiting the SL3.
@@davidherring keep up the good work and keep pushing ! Your channel will get big soon enough with content like this.
Especially with leica and your sympathic personality it is unique!
Can't wait to see the SL3.
Which camera was used to shoot this video??
Sony A7SIII and iPhone 15 Pro!
VGP 2024 preset? When will it be available for purchase?
Soon! 2024 pipeline is going to be very exciting. The Patreon community already has the first release. :-)
Awesome images. The ghost town at 7:41 has cars and satellite dishes. People still living in there?
Many cars abandoned. About 50 people live here now.
Could you post a list of the artists/songs used in this video? Thanks.
You got it!

@@davidherring Thanks. Good music.
The Leica M’s are officially not dust and rain proof. No issue in the desert?
No issue here. Granted I didn’t throw it down in the sand and kept it in my jacket when it was raining, but I’ve been in all kinds of conditions and never had an issue.
@@davidherring I had an M10 and traded it for a SL2-S because body and SL lenses are IP52. But I’m missing it totally specifically the accuracy of the zone focusing and I’m thinking about getting an M11-P or Q3. The Q3 is also IP52 and has that awesome lens the macro functionality included… But Q3 has no internal SSD. Still have my trustworthy M6 sind the 1980’s 😊
@@davidherring PS: got also a APO Summicron SL 2/75. Since I have that combination, I shoot 99% with it. Portraits anyway but also landscape (lot of stitching in LrC 😉)
@rolandrickphotography yeah, ultimately you gotta just get what you need for the work you want to do and experience you want to have. For me, it’s the M. I had the Q2 but sold it. Wasn’t as much fun for me. Love taking the M everywhere.
Don’t worry about the graves mate.
1000 years from now, some guy with a PhD will dig them and display them in a glass box call museum.
You’re not wrong!
Gas:$5.19 views priceless
Haha truth
Desert and non-dust resistant super expensive camera and lenses. That does not sound like a good combination.
I got my gear to use it. I’m not a collector.
@@davidherring Of course, but why the M system? It does not seem optimal, if one intends to use it in areas with a lot of dust and moisture. It would be like taking a Ferrari for off roading.
taking a Leica into the desert is like going with an S class off road...
Maybe a G-class. They’re nice to look at but very capable and can take the abuse.
A camera was made to be used. Took my Leica TL2 recently out into the streets of Las Vegas, the deserts in and around Death Valley, etc.
I got my camera to be used, so I use it!
VGP 2024 preset? When will it be available for purchase?
Very exciting pipeline coming. Already have one the next one for the Patreon community!
