[@BraeHunziker]

Yet another beautiful story in the books. Well done as always sir 👏🏻

[@SathyaPeacock]

Thoroughly impressed with how you consistently find beautiful frames for clips man.. and these photos are extra special too.. so well done

[@UlyssesAokiPhoto]

Dude, that shot of the storm?! Oh my lord.

[@loganguybaker]

Thaaaanks man :)

[@edgardoramos5639]

This should have million views. Underrated period. Please make more videos like these. It reminds me why I love photography in the first place. Kudos! 🙏🙏🙏

[@anotherlife3579]

I really enjoyed this video with my coffee in the morning

[@UglyMcGregor]

I missed this one! Love it sir

[@RobMoses]

Love the 3rd train shot. Good video.

[@gryff42]

Dude, your videos are magical.

[@peterodonnell6386]

I also lived in the Colorado Rockies for a short while, and despite being from a different mountain range myself I never felt the connection; I wasn't even that impressed by them either. However, when I took to the Plains I think I may have felt similar things to what you did. I know for a fact that we have stood on the same ground, in several different States, some of them possibly very close in time. I think with the more videos of yours that I watch the more landscapes, towns and even buildings I can say I remember or shot myself. It's a small world I guess, sometimes frighteningly small.

[@KreatingKhaoz]

Another Banger from Logan Baker.

[@loganguybaker]

haha thanks, Erik!

[@BooneLovesVideo]

That cinematography pierced my heart, and those baby blues pierced my wife's ovaries.

[@loganguybaker]

Thanks boo :)

[@nobodyneedsthis]

Love the plains in Colorado. Fantastic work. Last Chance was one of the first places I shot as well. Maybe I'll run in to you out there sometime.

[@mracdcjailbreak]

Im planning on driving across colorado soon so this is great inspiration! Thanks

[@BenjaminMoxham]

Incredible shots. So beautiful.

[@loganguybaker]

Thanks, Ben

[@asherhodara389]

Your eye for composition is awesome! Loved the video and the shots!

[@loganguybaker]

Thanks, Asher

[@jonathanmoser3014]

Incredible work - I love your video format and flow. It inspired me to do more as a creative and get into film as opposed to just digital. Kiiller content Logan please keep it up.

[@owenhaupt]

Fantastic video dude. Amazing images 🙌🏻

[@AntMcLean]

The intro was stunning.. drew me right in. You captured some lovely images and wow what a place! Top work mate

[@loganguybaker]

Thanks man

[@luisrivera169]

Your channel is seriously so underrated, just beautiful man.

[@laurirama]

Beautiful video, love it!

[@1franklyrichard]

This is the best upload I’ve seen on any film photography channel in years. As a 13-year Colorado resident, I felt every word about your struggle to feel the majesty of the mountains. Impeccable artistry, filmmaking and photography. I’ll definitely be rewatching when I feel similar thoughts washing over me.

[@loganguybaker]

Wow, thanks for the kind words Richard!!

[@cartagenasergi1530]

Gracias. No entiendo mucho pero puedo ver tú trabajo y con eso me ayudó para comprender un poco. Que gran canal y gracias por compartir tú trabajo.❤️👌

[@kyledavis8163]

We miss ya buddy. Keep up the good work.

[@loganguybaker]

thanks man, miss you as well :(

[@bortsinson]

This and grainydays are honestly honestly the best channels about photography on youtube

[@loganguybaker]

Thanks, Egon!!

[@doubleexposed3830]

Glad you found your mojo.

[@ReimannPembroke]

Fantastic video! I love what you said about finding home. We all want to find that sense of “home” whether it be a place, friends, a partner, a daily ritual, etc. I’m glad you found a little bit of that in this video

[@loganguybaker]

Thanks, Reimann :)

[@augustonabike2658]

I'm from Texas too and it took a long time to stop feeling that claustrophobia after I moved to Oregon. I'll always love the prairie.

[@loganguybaker]

There's just something about the open skies. They can't be beat!

[@adiconcepts]

This is so beautiful! Subscribed!!

[@sambacon-brenes6740]

all I gotta say is HOT DIGGITY DAMN DAUG, insane work!

[@loganguybaker]

hot daug! thanks, Sam :)

[@RYANPARKPHOTOGRAPHY]

beautiful vibe video man. relaxing and calm.. 'it is nice to have good gear :) '

[@sollarkin364]

Those images in company of that music, was a profound experience, makes you feel. Truly beautiful video to watch

[@loganguybaker]

Thank you!!

[@robbiejanney7948]

I watch your videos to get jealous. The jealousy of these gorgeous shots makes me want to go shoot more. Bravo, mate - another masterpiece.

[@loganguybaker]

Thanks buddy

[@noahg3488]

Beautiful video that pulled on my emotions which I wasn’t expecting from a random KZbin video. Keep these coming they’re amazing.

[@loganguybaker]

Thanks, Noah! Will do.

[@daisyavalos3715]

Beautiful!

[@loganguybaker]

Thanks, Daisy!!!

[@KevinMcGurganYT]

The video just keeps getting better 👌🏻

[@mdbdoc]

love exploring the backroads of the eastern plains... a favorite area to search near is Pawnee Buttes.

[@loganguybaker]

Love the Pawnee Buttes. A few friends and myself drove up there. There's a few clips of it in the video before this one!

[@joeltunnah]

Absolutely stunning video work, the shots and how you put the whole thing together. Very inspiring.

[@loganguybaker]

Thanks, Joel!

[@MarcusLloyd]

Beautiful episode bro

[@loganguybaker]

Thanks, man! Love your videos.

[@george_edward_]

Absolutely stunning... amazing video man!

[@loganguybaker]

Thank you!

[@spickett10]

I’m gonna have to watch this a couple times over to really take in all those scenes and motion shots. Really impressive to find all those different frames in such a similar overall setting!

[@loganguybaker]

Thanks for the kind words, Sam!

[@dereks.5416]

Love the videos you're making man! I just watched this twice in a row and I've watched your monument valley video I don't how many times haha. I get what you're saying about the mountains too. I'm a native Texan living in Virginia, and while I love it here, I tell people one of the things I miss most about Texas is the open skies. So I could see how the plains in CO would give you that feeling of home. Thanks for all the inspiration!

[@loganguybaker]

Thank you for the support, Derek! You simply can't beat the Texas skies.

[@saveich]

this is pure magic, I live in a same place here in Spain, I mean, flat, only fields, all yellow and dry in summer, and always hated it, but now I can see something special in this kind of photos that I didn´t before, and cause of that I understand this video so well, nice work mate!

[@loganguybaker]

Completely understand what you mean! Thanks for the kind words!

[@MacnTeensVisuals]

Absolutely stunning video once again Logan. The shots were beautiful, love those minimal compositions. Also the clouds in some of those clips are so crazy, literally cartoon clouds haha

[@loganguybaker]

Thank you! Those clouds on the plains are something else.

[@sebastianxu9084]

Dude your channel is criminally under-subscribed…everything in your videos just bring me some senses of inner peace in this complicated time. I haven’t been staying creative for a long time but after seeing this, I decided that I’m gonna go out and shoot some photos this weekend!

[@loganguybaker]

Awesome! Glad to hear it, Sebastian. Good luck shooting!

[@dee_dointhings]

Loved this episode! I grew up on a farm in Eastern Colorado, and while I don't live there now this was a great reminder of how beautiful it is. If you make it out there again look up Haxtun, Paoli, or Holyoke!

[@loganguybaker]

Sweet. Will definitely look those up! Planning on heading back out there for some photos this winter

[@NathanTrimbach]

Another visual masterpiece! Also experiencing a lot of strange lighting here in Minnesota from wildfires from Canada and northern Minnesota. Also hear you on the lenses. I have the Pentax 645Nii with 75mm and 200mm. Too many times it was too tight and got the 45-85mm to get those wider comps.

[@loganguybaker]

Thanks, Nathan! The lighting is messing with my head, sometimes its great, sometimes its awful. I ALSO have the Pentax 645N with the 75mm! Couldn't agree more. Lenses will be the downfall of my bank account.

[@robjornayvaz8178]

I think you and I need to meet each other and film around Colorado or Texas. I’m here in Denver too with roots back to Texas

[@amir5066]

the colors and scenery reminds me of one of my favorite films called Paris, Texas. Your videos are amazing, really well done :)

[@loganguybaker]

Wow thank you so much! Paris, Texas is one of my favorites as well.

[@scottbullock9423]

Fantastic. This is not the Colorado I typically imagine, but one that I'd like to get to know. The holga pictures were a surprise at the end - insane perspective.

[@loganguybaker]

Thanks, man. Yeah those panorama pics on the plains get wild!

[@NunoAlmeidaPhotography]

I pretty much always comment the same on your videos, but your cinematography is so good...love the way you compose the scenes. Keep up the awesome work!

[@loganguybaker]

I always appreciate your comments!! Cheers!

[@oat970]

wow this man gets it :')

[@asmahism]

Your channel is so good! It’s great getting to see the state I’ve lived my entire life in through your eyes. I hope you can connect with the mountains. If you need a little inspiration check out Alex Burke. His photography is stunning especially his work on the plains. Sometimes makes me want to put the camera down.

[@loganguybaker]

Thank you!! Alex Burke's photography is on another level. A truly great photographer and someone who I'll hopefully be able to meet up with while I'm here!

[@bro_liv]

You have such a gentle and authentic soul man, it's such a pleasure to watch this piece, so good in our F@#%?$# pandemicky world... Keep it up

[@abou1999]

Really enjoying your work, you have a great eye! Just wondering how you grade your videos? Do you use a consistent lut?

[@loganguybaker]

Thank you! I have used LUTs in the past, then I moved away from them. But now I've kind of started playing with certain LUTs. I posted a color grading walkthrough on my Patreon if want to check it out :) - bit.ly/3tXQh0E

[@YeagerFilm]

🔥😎

[@kekmountain2882]

I feel the same way about the mountains I thought I was the only one. The claustrophobia and pine tree monotony isn't for me.

[@wilhelmsrvoll2230]

Great video! I was wondering what kind of camera you're using for the video parts?

[@loganguybaker]

I use a BMPCC6K, will be posting some shooting behind-the-scenes/tutorials on my Patreon in the coming weeks. Thanks for the kind words!

[@axelmadsen]

Such a good video man. The song that starts as 7.15 is so beautiful. What's the name ?

[@loganguybaker]

Thank you! It's called "Flight" by A.Taylor and I got it from Musicbed.

[@axelmadsen]

@@loganguybaker Thank you! :)

[@GuyNamedRy]

Where were all these places?!?! im trying to plan a trip to Eastern plains in Colorado but cant find any spots to shoot at

[@harrisonjackkauder8260]

Do you use an anamorphic lens or do you just crop?

[@loganguybaker]

Just crop

[@ramomate1705]

are you a big fan of wim wenders?

[@loganguybaker]

Paris, Texas just happens to be one of my favorite movies :)

[@JustinKleinMusic]

you found it

[@loganguybaker]

I found it

[@peterdclark]

Absolutely average...needs more dogs in content! I kid as that was lovely stuff; the whining, the honesty, the scenery, the choice of frames and music and captures. Hope you find what you're looking for...or at minimum make more videos like this one (albeit w more dogs content) while you're searching . Cheers ~ Peter

[@loganguybaker]

I promise, more dog content on the way!
