What an amazing experience to visit the Westons! Stay tuned for the next episode in his darkroom!

[@ellona3645]

I'll have a presentation about him! His work is beautiful!!

Great interview! I visited Kim and Gina at Wildcat Hil in 2015. They gave me a fantastic tour, let me take photos everywhere including Edward's darkroom. I thought my grandmother may have known Edward, so Kim let me look through the guestbook. Grandma never signed it but Kim let me sign in!

Love that you inc. the B/W idea 👍 What a lovely video to stumble upon. Still blown away about the info of the pepper shot! Natural lighting, long exposure. I'm inspired to give that a try - well, at f22 anyhow 😁

Wow! That was juts amazing! I was watching at the episode right under my print from the original negative from Weston's Tina, which is in my living room. I think she did saw some of the episode too ;) I was in Carmel last year and never knew that was Weston's home just until weeks after I was there, I would love to take a look into Weston's dark room, but any way, I have juts seen it thanks to you.

[@JeromeMilac]

Can you imagine, sneaking into one of the world's best known photographer's home ? Well there it is, for real :-)

[@ViaOjo]

There were some great biographies on Edward Weston with this footage. Anyone know what happened to them?

[@marcsilber]

with the original footage?

[@vladnickul]

But how one does make his own stops?

[@ErikThureson]

Nice work!

[@Machster10]

How was the f/240 aperture made?

[@marcsilber]

Very tiny pinhole

[@eyemweiss]

Curious how Edward implemented ƒ/240 given the precise placement of the Ilex 5 iris blades. (Assuming he was using the 14" commercial Ektar) Any thoughts?

[@marcsilber]

yes Kim said he made his own "stops", so I'm assuming he used an older lens with removable stops instead of iris blades. I define what "stops" are on page -66 of Advancing Your Photography Handbook--took quite a bit of research to dig that up!

[@LuisMiguelRangelE]

eyemweiss Could Weston just have used a pinhole?

[@lewiscummings625]

Advancing Your Photography Excellent information on Westons' f240 how did he accomplish this is this on page 66 of AYP Book. I will purchase a copy soon

[@kbqvist]

Just curious which f-stop, the f/240 would correspond to, in terms depth of field, on a full frame sensor - if anyone is able to figure that out?

[@monktridge3268]

On a 360mm lens, f/240 diameter is 1.5mm.

[@horaciomillan4181]

I'm not sure if I have it right: you said 46 hours?

[@marcsilber]

+Horacio Millán 4 to 6 hours

[@horaciomillan4181]

Advancing Your Photography Thank you!

[@Machster10]

A funnel? What does that mean?

[@monktridge3268]

Weston used a tin funnel that he found as a backdrop. He balanced the pepper on the lip and let nature do the rest. Try it sometime instead of flat backdrop.

[@DougAngusLee]

This video inspired me to create an extreme macro homage to Pepper #30. Check out my 139 megapixel b&w image of a pepper here www.mightymacro.com/2017/11/10/edward-weston-and-me/ Thanks Marc for the great content and inspiration.

[@marcsilber]

so glad to hear Doug! I'm proud to be able to bring you closer to icons of photography and their work.

[@kozz1984]

Should of just focus stacked in photoshop- what a newbie.

[@marcsilber]

what will they say about that concept in 70 years?

[@rbeebephoto]

ah... Photoshop in the 1930s, '40s, '50s, '60s... called a darkroom. :)

[@mahidoes]

I don't think it's really worth researching masters life and home to improve our photography! we should stop this! Please avoid talking about house blah blah. Although it's few minutes it really annoyed me and felt wasting my time. Rest of the video is good and thanks. Still i prefer tips from present master who is living and IN front of your lens talking live.
