- 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:

wonderful video. beautiful forest no uneccessary talking and no annoying music. Love the sounds of nature…
Thanks 🤗
This, my friend, is the best explanation to Why one shoots LF ... Wordless !
One can feel the calm and the surroundings just looking at this very relaxing video
Great job Nejc :)
Thank you Francois 🤗
This is amazing. I mean that image is just phenomenal.
Zebra Dry Plates and your holder are my next LF purchase.
Cool 🤗
I gave you a thumbs up just for the mill. What a great place to get a photo.
Beautiful video and photographs
Fantastic !!! Photographies and video editing :-)
Thanks Arnaud!
A couple of nice shots there...
I never need to tighten the screws for my intrepid lens board - strange you need to!
Thanks. I rather screw things down specially when carrying the camera on my shoulders. You never know 😁
Bravo Nejc, possibly your best video yet (imho) I really need to order some dry plates, the detail looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. I liked filming and editing this one as well 😊 And yes Zebra plates are definitely worth a try!
I am an occasional user of 5x4 and found that really interesting. Never seen the dry plates before. Good photos.
WOW Speechless!!
Thanks Edwin 😊
You picked a beautiful area to photograph. Great video!
Thanks 🤗
Thanks 👍❤
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...
I hope I will find the time soon to finaly make a Autochrome series 🙏
@@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.
You can get 9x12 plate cameras for not much I got one because it was the cheapest large format camera I could find
Great work Nejc!
Thank you 🤗
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.
Yes there is something special about them. A proper resemblance of beautifuo handcraft and in this manner they kinda connect with shooting dry plates 😊
@@lostlightart6064 Yes, I’d like to go back and shoot them on 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.
Actualy this is a hard case I got with gopro accesories on Amazon. I will have to find now one tho a bit thicker as the zippers have ripped. But otherwise it is a great solution!
@@lostlightart6064 Thanks for the info!
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 .
So I'm new here to the channel, after you take the image with your phone what happens next to the plate?
Plate is archived until I properly scan, direct contact print item...
Cool scanning process and very nice shots! What app is that?
I just invert the coulours in settings as it is easier to get the right exposure
@@lostlightart6064 ah ok, I can't do that on my camera app
Well done 👍
Thanks!
22:40 Are those anti-newtonian glasses?
What lens did you use?
Schneider-Kreuznach Super Angulon 90mm f8
Great video, what tripod?
Thanks Vanguard Alta Pro 263
why would you shoot 4x5 then scan with an iPhone. use better optical scanner.
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.
Hey Wolfgang. Thank you for your opinion. Nobody is forcing you, you can simply skip it nextime...🤷♂️
You go to all the trouble to shoot LF and digitize with a phone? Wtf!
I do it for the sake of the video and because I dont have money to but the epson 850 😕 Otherwise I enjoy contact printing very much 😉
Cant watch silent movies sorry.
