Large Format Landscape Photography S1E7 24 Hours in Mojave

In this weeks video, I travel into the Mojave Desert with my large format camera. My goal is to photograph a moving train in low light on 8x10 film.

I was so anxious when the train was arriving and you were casually taking light readings 😂

[@shanedignum]

You and me both. I tried to keep my cool 😎

[@qianglin6245]

As a SLR user, taking the shot without looking through the view finder is almost unimaginable to me. Great work!

[@garyabbott6842]

So relaxing watching you work.

[@shanedignum]

Thanks, Gary. I'm happy to hear that.

[@mickhowe5665]

I hope you get to print that big it looks amazing, the detail that you get out of 8x10 "Wow" what else is there to say well done Shane.

[@shanedignum]

Thank you, Mick! I’m looking forward to seeing this as a large print.

[@RandyPollock]

I got excited to see that train coming...nice!

[@shanedignum]

You and I both, haha!

[@RussWeymouthPhotography]

This shot was all about timing...and it fell into place perfectly.

Hiked up a Mississippi bluff a couple weeks ago. Needed crampons and hiking poles to reach the top. Got some nice photo's and video of a very long train. The train kept a comin' Used a 5D with the 17-40 and circular polarizer. Waiting to meet a train crossing the Arcola High bridge. Last summer ran into a medium format film guy who drove al the way up from Omaha for the bridge, said he does railroad photography for a living.

Nice! Sounds like a good time. And what an interesting career that guy has!

[@IainHC1]

[@kevinmorgan7091]

Such an awesome picture! Cool it worked out for you and so glad I found your channel.

[@shanedignum]

Thanks kevin! Yeah, I really didn’t expect to take a photo that evening.

[@rockhills]

Man that's a great shot! All I can think is it screams Americana.

[@martin-f5482]

oh wow, that's pretty awesome!

[@shanedignum]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@mgman6000]

If you get a chance try the tehachapi loop long trains go over themselves

[@im_filmdude]

excellent work as always! I think this scene would look even more interesting with larger focal lenght mb

[@shanedignum]

Thank you! I was considering the 600mm but I can always crop in. I think it will look best printed large.

[@scottternan105]

Ha ! Well done !

[@chun.tw_6099]

Hello!your video is so amazing! About the details of the photos. And I have a question about format, I don't know how to chose between medium or lager...

[@shanedignum]

Hello! What do you like to photograph? It all depends on the final print. How large are you going to be printing? In large format, I recommend 4x5. You can comfortably enlarge up to 40x50”.

[@number6705]

What enlarger and lens do you use?

[@shanedignum]

These are just scans. Although, my 3rd darkroom is currently in the works.

[@Superbustr]

What is the name of your lightmeter?

[@shanedignum]

It’s the Pentax Digital Spot Meter.

[@Superbustr]

@@shanedignum Thxs. Do you happen to know of a lightmeter that works for cine and for photography?

[@sanc9239]

Can u tell me y u still using film camera,, there is high resolution medium format such as phase one 150mp camera available in the market.

[@tarunindoriya902]

Its not the results for film photographers, they do it for the process...they enjoy it.
