Thats a gorgeous image, pleased I found your channel, looking forward to watching more of your videos. I'm hoping to get an intrepid 4x5 soon & start my large format journey.

[@rjphotos]

Should be a new video at the weekend so stay tuned. Pleased you liked the image, it was a great moment capturing that. Intrepid is a great place to start but have a look at cameras by Chroma. They are around the same price point but 3d printed.

Fantastic picture! You got a new sub from Finland 👍🏻 Really nice video

[@rjphotos]

Thanks, yes that’s one of my favourites.

[@grainydaysss]

[@adityapartapsharma7041]

almost 2 years gone, and this video is left with only 4k views? that's unfair. you deserved a lottttt more man, subscribed to you, and you deserved that. Keep working hard like you are, I can see "Success" hanging around that corner lmao.

Magnificent image, Russell!

[@rjphotos]

Thanks!

[@flipflopsleica]

Catching up with your earlier videos. Your image is print-worthy. :)

[@rjphotos]

Yeah, that's on of my favourites, but the one from my next video is a close second.

[@DGriffGallery]

Great stuff Russell, thoroughly engrossing from start to finish with a super image too 😊👍🏻

[@rjphotos]

Thanks, it was amazing to be there. Image came out far better than expected too!

[@eltinjones4542]

Love watching you guys do this. Love the colours - so natural At this stage I'm too lazy and beyond it to go back to film. Keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing more 😎👍

[@rjphotos]

Thanks Eltin. You may not want to go back to film but you can certainly adopt some of the methodology to use with digital. Thanks for watching.

[@KeithRatcliff296]

Fascinating to watch the work that goes into getting just one shot but worth the effort, it's a great shot & glad you liked DD :-)

[@rjphotos]

Yes, it's a spectacular place!

[@BillMcCarroll]

Very nice Russell. Always great to see another large format photographer at work

[@rjphotos]

That's very kind of you. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Prashant.Khapane]

Good one Russel

[@rjphotos]

Thanks.

[@stevesdaysoff2759]

Lovely video. Well done. Steve.

[@rjphotos]

Thanks Steve, appreciated.

[@thevalleywalker]

Very enjoyable watch Russell. Have never been to Dinas Dinlle but it's been on my list for ages - one day. Loved the image and for me shooting side light is much preferable to shooting straight into the sun. I look forward to seeing more content from you.

[@rjphotos]

Thanks Alan, yep there will be many more hopefully, really enjoy putting these together.

[@ekehengeveld3895]

Do you have a preference for the light during sunset instead of sunrise? I do have a preference for sunrise because of the extra moisture in the air. This morning moisture creates extra ambiance in the images for me. What's your opinion on this? Warm regards Eke

[@rjphotos]

I would agree that sunrise has light that is special, particularly in the mountains.

[@lostlightart6064]

Very nice Russell! How are you pleased with the camera?

[@rjphotos]

It's a great camera to use.

[@lostlightart6064]

@@rjphotos Thanks!

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Lovely shot Russell. How do find the Chamonix? I’ve been eyeing them up myself.

[@rjphotos]

Hi Craig. Thanks for watching the video. The Chamonix is wonderful to use. Relatively light weight makes it possible to take up a mountain as you've seen. It's a little slower to set up than a folding camera like the MPP but no one is really in any rush with large format are they! Lots of movements, more than you'd ever really need. I considered an Intrepid but long term durability is something I pondered. The Chamonix is really built to last.

[@CraigPrentisPhoto]

Yes, something lighter, excellent build quality and plenty of movements would be up there for me if I ever did change. I like my MPP but I think this would be a step up. I look forward to seeing your next outing. All the best.
