Nice video. I like the idea of the note forms (instead of a blank notebook).

buyaport I find it helps keep me organized and easy to know what I did later. Thanks for watching!

Nice video, Spencer. I'm just now getting into 6x17 shooting (technically, not large format but I do get to stick my head under a dark cloth). Really learned a lot from your metering technique...you explained it very well. New subscriber.

Mike G Appreciate the comment and you watching! Glad there were a couple of items that may have helped. If there is ever anything I can do, feel free to shoot me an email. Thanks!

Great video Spencer. Brings back memories when I was going to school and shooting with my Calumet 4X5 camera.

jpfrog Thanks! It's been a journey going to large format. I appreciate you subscribing and watching!

Watching some of your other videos now. As long as I've been shooting, their's still more to learn.

I actually still use the glad bag for transporting film holders. You can literally throw them out after each use, no dust build up plus I feel the subtle amount of static attracts what dust still might be on my holders. I shoot 4x5 so I will load 25 sheets into holders all at once and then into a garbage bag in my camera bag.

Michael Vincent I find they fit my 8x10 holders nicely since they are so large and I can wrap the excess around to make sure it’s as light tight as possible. Thanks for watching!

Yeah I use ziplocks for everything. I live in the desert so lot of dust and heavy rains during the summer. Acts as cheap weather proofing incase I get poured on.

Would be nice to see final picture after all the drama :) that's what it comes down to

Frank FR You are correct. If you watch some of the videos I did after this one, they have the finished photo included. Thanks for watching!
