  • Back in July, I went on a wonderful backpacking trip to the Alpine Lakes Wilderness in Washington state which lies in the heart of the Cascade Mountains. This is one of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen and it's always a great time getting up to these alpine lakes to explore the unique terrain. I was shooting on my Mamiya 7ii with the 43mm lens using Kodak Vision 3 250D IMAX film and Velvia 100. Hope you enjoy!

    Try not to be so hard on your work Brae. The fact you are still sharing your work and taking us on your adventures is pretty admirable, especially for us perfectionist!

    Wow - Velvia at blue hour is gutsy. High risk high reward, well done.
    Btw you inspired me to fly to Utah this weekend to do some solo hiking with my Mamiya 6 (50mm is magnificent). I have some Velvia and Portra 800 in the bag (never shot landscapes on P800 before but yours always look awesome.) Cheers!

    Incredible place! I thought the photos you made at the very highest elevation were exceptional. I so much enjoy the videos you make, rather than the endless stream of "Sony just loaned me this new thing!" gear review videos that completely saturate this platform. You live in a beautiful place. I hope you enjoy making this kind of content enough to want to keep doing it. ✌

    (15:50) A split - ND filter would be of tremendous help there. However, given that you did NOT used an SLR camera, that could create a whole new set of problems 🤣

      @BraeHunziker  16 днів тому
