  • Why are you shooting Analog, why Large Format camera, why Dry Plates?
    It sure is unforgiving, expensive and ridiculously slow but it makes me connect with nature like nothing else. For once I am not a prisoner of the screen but instead present in the moment with everything I am looking for those small miracles of nature that inspire me and make me feel alive! So in this week's video there is no music, no effects just me, the camera and peaceful nature....
    🦓 Hand coated Zebra ISO 2 4X5 Glass Dry Plates and Zebra Dual Plate holder are available in my Etsy store:

    Great scanning process! I'll try digitizing some of my collected autochromes :) On that subject, I recently had the extreme luck to get some unopened autochromes. I would love to try shooting with them, but really I don't know where to start. So much information has been lost. Oh well. Maybe I'll get to it someday. Everything I read online is very confusing...

      @@lostlightart6064 That would be awesome! I'm very nervous about mine. It took me years of searching to find some. But I think some people have had success with Alticolor film (I think it's just medium format autochrome) so I have some hope. However they are 9x12cm and my camera is 4x5 or 10x13cm. But I think it should be easy to convert a 4x5 holder to a 9x12. I am not sure if the emulsion is still good after 100 years, if it isn't I might try removing it and coating it with a new emulsion. I have never made panchromatic emulsion before, but it would be a learning experience at least.

    I love grist mills! I’ve shot over 45. Mostly in NC. Still quite a few on my bucket list. I wanna reshoot them all, ones still standing, on my Intrepid 4X5.

    • @lostlightart6064

      Yes there is something special about them. A proper resemblance of beautifuo handcraft and in this manner they kinda connect with shooting dry plates 😊

    That is a nice bag that you have for your intrepid. What vendor provides it. Some nice shots. I love the B-roll at the beginning where the beetle is devouring the leaf. Amazing how fast they can process plants.

    I am a lover of 5 x 4 , it’s quality and the movements but wonder why an iPhone and not scan or enlarge when that LF quality really shows ? Appreciate the quick results though for a small or. ‘proof’ print .

    Does it make any sense to go through the beautiful dry plate process just to scan the results with your smartphone ? You will miss the whole thing; Make at least an analog contact print. Why do I have to watch you for minutes cleaning and rubbing the glas. Watching this video is just a loss of precious time.
