Photography On Location: The Pumpkin Patch in Anza-Borrego Desert

[@Raevenswood]

for future reference the "mud pit rule" only applies when there is at least one other truck with you :D

[@Tbonyandsteak]

Someone somewhere are watching this in a truck

[@DonnaMacauley]

I never thought I'd find videos about photography that my husband would enjoy. His eyes glaze over and roll into the back of his head whenever I talk about photography. He does, however, perk up with 4x4 talk. He's very much an avid off-roader. You have successfully combined both in videos that entertain two very different passions.

[@kishascape]

Your husband is a doosh

[@ChadEveryday]

I cant stop watching your videos. Probably the most entertaining and fun photo channel on youtube

[@nickcarverphoto]

Thank you very much!

[@jerryrichards8172]

Love the fact you can find your peace and fun out there.

[@Mulnader]

I like that you show pictures at the same time as shutter clicks

[@afernbrant]

Fellow 617 shooter from Sweden that really enjoys your content. Please do more of these!

[@nickcarverphoto]

afernbrant thank you! I definitely plan to do more. Thanks for the encouragement. It helps.

[@danielm.edwards1977]

I like your means of spontaneity and adventure on a whim. I went out there yesterday. Gorgeous light and clouds/rain and rainbow.

[@nickcarverphoto]

Thank you. This time of year is beautiful out there.

[@andrethibault1410]

not only are the vids awesome and informative.....your hilarious!!! keep up the vids!!!!

[@Giurescua]

Glad too see you are back! Hope to see more videos soon

[@nickcarverphoto]

Andrei Giurescu definitely! Thank you!

[@benc200]

Really enjoyed this new one. The 6x6 joke/moment was the best! 🤣

[@nickcarverphoto]

Ben C thank you sir!

[@EricBryan]

Nice, you got a new 4Runner! I need to get out there just for the offroad fun. That part with the bug chasing you was quite possibly your finest video work yet!

[@nickcarverphoto]

Eric Bryan haha yeah that bug stole the show. And yeah I got a 2017 4Runner! I miss my old one, but the maintenance was getting to be too much. Love my new one.

[@jaytolbert7538]

Needed a Nick Carver escape, so revisiting this video. Always entertaining.

[@g_young_h]

Glad to see another one from you, Nick!

[@nickcarverphoto]

Thank you, sir!

[@Qigate]

Glad to see you are posting again. Love your videos and the journeys.

[@nickcarverphoto]

Mike Morgan thank you very much!

[@danieldegennaro5606]

Had fun! Thanks.

[@nickcarverphoto]

Daniel DeGennaro thanks for watching!

[@markmuller3086]

Glad you could get away and have fun Nick. I was nervous for you in that 2nd pond! Anza Borrego is beautiful. I miss it. Thanks for a fun video

[@nickcarverphoto]

Mark Muller thanks for watching, Mark! I was nervous for me too...

[@Garyjonesphotos]

Excellent video Nick.... with some good humor too! Really liked the B/W square images and what that red filter does. Keep putting out the inspiration!

[@nickcarverphoto]

Gary Jones Fine Art Photography thanks, Gary! Will do

[@resonanceZ1]

Another great video, left me with a smile on my face. Thank you!

[@nickcarverphoto]

Stephen Wilson glad to hear that! Thanks a lot

[@flipflopsleica]

Welcome back to KZbin after a short hiatus of well-deserved time off. You certainly look relaxed and having fun this day.

[@nickcarverphoto]

Stuart Kinkade thanks, Stuart! I really hope I can find the time to do these more often.

[@theundefinedphotographer]

Just found your channel and have been marathoning your videos over the past two days. Not only am I learning a TON about photography, but I'm learning a lot about the quirks of camping and off-roading as well. Fun stuff! Thanks for such great content.

[@Nat.ImagesLarge.F.Photographer]

Extraordinary camera,it has only one problem:after first use you can no longer leave it, impossible,marvelous!!!

[@TerraMarique007]

I really enjoyed this video! Just the right amount of entertainment, instruction, and adventure.

[@nickcarverphoto]

Glad to hear it! Thank you!

[@pumpkinmeerkat3692]

rz66 is timeless. never change

[@spl4028]

That push combined with the red filter is killer!

[@mlcovarr]

Thanks for the new video, I hope to see more!

[@nickcarverphoto]

MattCoPhoto thank you for the encouragement!

[@CamscootsMedia]

Great to see some more awesome content Nick! i always get the urge to break out the medium and large format again when i watch your stuff, keep it coming

[@nickcarverphoto]

CamscootsMedia I'm glad to hear that. We all gotta do our part to burn some film. Thanks a lot!

[@matthewdecker4884]

Thank you for another awesome video. I really love your on location series.

[@nickcarverphoto]

Matthew Decker thank you very much! It's encouraging to know people actually like them.

[@blhdjphotography8134]

What a lovely video as usual. Your high contrasts shots remind me back in the day when Western movies night scenes were shot in daylight using different techniques and filters.

[@nickcarverphoto]

Blhdj Photography thank you! And oh yeah I know exactly what you're talking about. They do have that look.

[@adamtruelove9684]

Oh my God... This was 5 days ago!! I'm sooo late.... Always an utter joy to watch your new video Nick!! Thank you!!!

[@nickcarverphoto]

Adam Pamungkas haha! Better late than never. Thanks for watching!

[@FrankWalsh]

Funniest photography video on the inter webs! The first 7 minutes were pure genius :-) Watching you swat at the Pterodactyl was priceless.

[@nickcarverphoto]

Frank Walsh haha - thank you!

[@bogrunberger]

I had almost given up on you, Nick! So glad to see another video from you. I love them, and I hope you are well.

[@nickcarverphoto]

bogrunberger thank you very much!

[@chriseyrewalker]

I really enjoyed the flow and images in this one Nick. Totally agree about the 4x4 law!

[@nickcarverphoto]

Chris Eyre-Walker thanks! Yeah, never turn down a good mud pit.

[@bogrunberger]

My two favorite KZbinrs! Chris and Nick, I love your videos!

[@ProctorsGamble]

Loved Borrego! Will be back.

[@youbilly5849]

the sunset was amazing

[@mfiorentino]

Great to see a new video from you!

[@nickcarverphoto]

Massimo Fiorentino thank you!

[@rick_eeh]

thanks for the great another video Nick ! please keep doing this to make us believe that the world is out there !!

[@nickcarverphoto]

Ricky Wijaya Umar thank you! Will do!

[@bikerworld2471]

Nick. I liked the video. You put a lot of effort on making it. It came out nice.

[@firemusic82]

"..RZ 67? More like RZ 66" If it weren't for little comments like that, your videos just wouldn't be the same. Your photography can easily speak for itself with 0 commentary from you. But your sense of humor really adds to your videos. You're not a photo snob. And that's very much appreciated!

[@markharris5771]

First time I've seen one of your videos and really enjoyed it. I like honesty when things don't come out right, as well as the brilliant shots that do and I liked the heavy contrast. Also like your sense of humour, and the law is international as I always obeyed it here in the UK when I had my 4x4. Subscribed

[@nickcarverphoto]

Mark Harris thanks a lot, Mark! Good to know the rules of 4x4 apply internationally too - haha. I appreciate the comment and subscribe.

[@dennismckee9710]

I really enjoy your videos. I like the fact that you include your “mistakes.” I especially like the road trips. I feel like I’m there with you. Keep it up!

[@SammySantiagoIrizarry]

Great video Nick.

[@nickcarverphoto]

Sammy Santiago thank you!

[@daniel_s_photo]

Great come back. Really nice video.

[@nickcarverphoto]

Daniel Santos thank you!

[@itsmdnt]

You’re the best. please keep making these

[@kimmurphy5032]

Great video, Nick! Great bit of humor in this and really enjoyed the high contrast photos.

[@nickcarverphoto]

Kim Murphy thanks, Kim!

[@stephaneg]

Your videos are so awesome man! I am a French photographer and I spend so much time on KZbin trying to find inspiring film photography material. I've been doing it for years and your channel is by far my favorite. Behind you (but still great) are Matt Day and The Art of Photography. Thanks for this very inspiring work!

[@nickcarverphoto]

Thank you very much! I'm flattered.

[@JB-dm5cp]

12:30 Venus and the moon close together always make for a beautiful sight :-)

[@darlantro]

The scene and editing at 5:00 is great. Thanks for all the efforts putting this together and sharing. Very inspiring.

[@nickcarverphoto]

this is a new youtube name thank you very much!

[@farouk6564]

inspiring as always Nick! thank you for sharing.

[@nickcarverphoto]

Thank you!

[@SamFerrara]

I had to do a double take when I saw this on my Sub page. Glad to see a new video, Nick! You inspired me to pick up a 6x17!

[@nickcarverphoto]

Sam Ferrara haha! Figured I'd surprise you... thanks for watching!

[@SamFerrara]

Nick, can you elaborate on the images that have that stark-black sky? Was that done simply by pushing the film one stop and using a red filter? Which red filter? I didnt realize you could get that kind of black sky outside of infrared film!

[@phillcrocker1]

I just found you on the TUBE and am loving your videos. I have recently busted out the old Pentax K1000 and getting some shots in. Thanks for the inspo really love your work :)

[@Scubaman8]

Great video again Nick. Nice to see you back. You probably know this already given that you look like a pretty competent guy with the 4x4 and outdoor life but I have a little tip if you're low on water. When you're stopped for a while, get a cup and put it under the air conditioner under your car. The condensation will drip right into your cup and give you some precious cool water! Not a huge amount but every little helps! As a someone who spends a lot of time in the Australian Outback, I've learnt this lesson the hard way previously!

[@nickcarverphoto]

James Partridge oh damn that's a really good tip. I hope I'm never in such a dire situation, but I love little nuggets of life-saving information like that. Thanks!

[@Scubaman8]

You're welcome Nick! Given all the great tips and advice you've offered here on your channel, it's nice to be able to offer something back, even if it's only a small thing. I love your work and you have inspired me to try 6x17 panos on my Chamonix. Luckily it's a pretty simple modification to allow me to use the roll film backs. Do you have any advice for selecting a 6x17 back? I can use any so long as it's graflex mount, which fortunately seems to be most of them.

[@nickcarverphoto]

James Partridge the only one I've ever tried was the Shen Hao brand. It was a little light-leaky, but I think just about any of them are usable.

[@raavionline]

Glad to see you are back. I was waiting forever to see a new video from you.

[@nickcarverphoto]

Amar Raavi thank you my friend

[@pauline3735]

Great video! Thoroughly enjoyed it 👍🏼

[@zelabar2001]

Fantastic video! Thank you for sharing

[@nickcarverphoto]

Ryan Mayfield thank you!

[@scs3drg]

your videos are ace please keep doing them

[@Yuguy67]

Cool new vloging style - I like it - please do it some more ! =:)

[@nickcarverphoto]

Guy Hübsch thanks! Will do!

[@Yeticomoelvaso]

- “I don’t think I brought enough water.” * 2 minutes later * - “mud patch, you know the rule!” 😂😂

[@safeharbor7]

Much enjoyed Nick, thumbs up...

[@nickcarverphoto]

safeharbor7 thank you very much!

[@esalo49]

Excellent video.

[@andykeeble1]

Welcome back Nick, I've really missed your videos as have many others judging by the comments! We don't have deserts in the UK so this type of content makes for a refreshing and interesting change. Shame about the light leak affecting some images as those high contrast B&W photos are quite superb. Keep up with the great work mate and stay safe on your trips.🍀👍

[@nickcarverphoto]

Andy Keeble thank you very much! It's easy to take my local deserts for granted, but I am very lucky to have these kinds of places in my backyard. Glad to hear you enjoy seeing it from the U.K.

[@Raevenswood]

"More like RZ66". Dork! :) JK... love your stuff man. I shot a bunch of the super bloom last spring out there. It was amazing around Butterfield canyon... everything from flowers to ocotillos to barrel cacti was in bloom. Keep up the solid work!

[@Alex.0470]

I have an RZ also. If you want to fix that light leak in the 6x6 back it’s actually pretty easy. All you have to do is bring a Hasselblad with you too. I see space in the trunk for it.

[@jensar10]

Please make more of this nice Kind of vids! Thank you!

[@fantomfoto]

Awesome shots! I need to head out there soon.

[@skunkfromcamden]

Awesome! Inspiring series. Keep the videos coming. Cheers from Portugal!

[@nickcarverphoto]

Rui Miranda thank you! Will do!

[@duiliohelf]

Great video!

[@nickcarverphoto]

Duilio Helfenstens thank you!

[@terrywbreedlove]

Very fun Nick :)

[@nickcarverphoto]

terry breedlove thank you!

[@nasterkub]

Loved the video. I watched and finally got out to the Pumpkin Patch. At the time of this comment, you have about 89k views. I'm pretty sure all 89k of your viewers came out the same day I did. There were so many people, some of the "pumpkins" were smushed and some were vandalized. In case anyone was under the impression that this place was an empty remote site for you to soak in the serenity. It's not.

[@cestlefun17]

You are so friggin cool! :-P And I love my Mamiya RZ67 too! The 6x6 back is apparently very rare.

[@nickcarverphoto]

William Santagata thank you sir! Yeah they are hard to find. Especially ones that don't leak!

[@karstenbirk5302]

Aaaa, here are the good Stuff about photo - no piano , no grey, but fun and very good pictures = great!

[@Iifecycle]

Hey Nick, cool Chanel. The only problem is I just binged watched the whole thing. I'm looking forward to more adventures and printing episodes. keep up the good work!

[@nickcarverphoto]

Doug MacDonald that's a great problem (for me, anyway)! Thanks for watching.

[@PhotoNERDsUnite]

13:05 Bonus! Missed you man. Thought you were never coming back. Nice to see you a little loose too. Let's not wait 4 more months before the next vid.

[@nickcarverphoto]

Photonerds University haha - I wondered if anyone would watch long enough to catch it. And thank you very much. I too don't want it to be 4 months before the next one!

[@CavemanPhotos]

Thanks for the vid. Any chance you solved the light leak? What was the problem? Cheers!

[@nickcarverphoto]

CavemanPhotos I added some more light seal foam to a couple spots I suspect were the source of the leak. Still need to run some test rolls through though.

[@burn1nator]

man! i completely forgotten how good of an eye you have for composition and landscape photography. those where some great images, too bad because of the light leak. you need to make more videos. you really inspire me to do landscape photography, and I fucken hate landscape photography.

[@nickcarverphoto]

burn1nator thanks a lot man. I really appreciate it. And if I can inspire someone who hates landscapes to actually shoot some landscapes, I've done my job. Haha

[@charlywedl5544]

Great video, thanks for showing. I think the slightly underexposed images fit the whole scenery of the location very well. However, I believe that I would have preferred color film for this location, or would have used it on top of that.

[@Kref3]

I never saw a man using the behemoth RZ for handheld shooting before. I do it quite often with my Hasselblad, but that is a dwarf compared to that machine. I am astonished that you manage to get really good, sharp images.

[@nickcarverphoto]

Thorsten Latz haha yeah it'll make the biceps burn. I try to keep that shutter speed real fast when I'm shooting handheld.

[@hakeemadam955]

Just discovered your channel and your content is so refreshing!!! Love the comedy. Best on KZbin since the OG digital rev days

[@drewthomas9422]

The only problem with your videos is they aren't regular enough. I always want more!

[@nickcarverphoto]

Drew Thomas thank you my friend! I too would like them to be more regular. Hoping I can make that happen soon.

[@MrJFMH]

Finally you're back again!!!✌️thanks for the vidéo!!

[@nickcarverphoto]

Jean-François Hermite thanks for watching!

[@Chalito5]

Great video. You make great content, keep it coming!

[@nickcarverphoto]

Stephen Gomez thank you sir. Will do!

[@matt904sl]

awesome video Nick really enjoyed it 👍 👍

[@nickcarverphoto]

Matthew Lymer thank you very much!

[@niallsheffield725]

I love the 11:18 shot, very otherworldly!

[@nickcarverphoto]

Niall Sheffield thank you! That ended up being my favorite from the trip too.

[@stephenlloydco]

I love these types of videos from you.

[@stephenlloydco]

Also a set of MaxTrax will help a lot of you are alone and get stuck in the mud or sand.

[@nickcarverphoto]

Stephen Lloyd thank you! Yeah I have some maxtrax strapped to the roof rack. Well, maxtrax knock-offs anyway.

[@Synthalog]

Love to see you back man!

[@nickcarverphoto]

MindtheMix thank you!

[@canturgan]

You could be a movie director, good photography, pacing, editing and music, not to mention funny and informative dialogue.

[@nickcarverphoto]

Thank you very much! That's all rooted in my fear of people getting bored. Ha

[@Jessehermansonphotography]

Finally! Welcome back!!!

[@nickcarverphoto]

Jesse H thank you!

[@Jessehermansonphotography]

Are you located in SD or LA?

[@joyfulcolouring7372]

Love your channel and content, 🤟 thanks pal

[@viniemato3158]

dude is hilarious and your picture are really good and inspiring man i love it man

[@rojoknight]

Work here in the Anza Borrego desert for 10 years as a phone company tech. Always something different everyday and GOD has never forsaken this or any other place.

[@CaseyHaralson]

Hey, when driving through deeper water, make sure your differential breathers are high enough. I'm not sure what the stock location is for that vehicle or if you have moved them, but it is a good thing to be aware of. Thanks for the video. Cheers!

[@nickcarverphoto]

Casey Haralson yeah raising those breathers up is on my to-do list. We get deep water so rarely around these parts that I just keep putting it off. Thanks for the reminder!

[@TommyDisgregato]

So basically when you travel you drive from point A to point B, set up the camera and the tripod, drive back to point A and drive again to point B. Then you pick up the camera, drive to point C, set up the camera, drive back to point B, and drive again to point C and pick up the camera. Repeat for how many takes? 10? 15? No wonder you are always alone in your trips :-) Great video as usual!

[@nickcarverphoto]

Tommy Angelo dude exactly. It's exhausting sometimes. It's also why I only end up shooting one roll of film!

[@_o__o_]

man you watched Ace Ventura too many times :D love your videos!

[@nickcarverphoto]

There's no such thing as too many times.

[@jojobarwick]

Welcome back.

[@nickcarverphoto]

jojo barwick thank you sir

[@caiodlimaM]

your videos are so joyful to wach... where do u develop ur film? and how you search for your locations?

[@j.kimmel7569]

Keep making these videos Nick, they are really well done! Looks like you replaced your 4Runner since the last time we saw you driving around.

[@nickcarverphoto]

J. Kimmel thanks! I will definitely make more. Yes sir I sold my 2000 4runner to get this 2016 model. It was a tough decision though because I loved my 2000 4Runner.

[@edmontonian5270]

New rig eh? Fantastic. I hope you didn't get rid of the last 4Runner before it had 300,000 mi on it tho? I think that's a 4Runner rule too.

[@frannydog94]

I bought a 6x6 back as well and got the same exact light leaks! Have you fixed it since this video?

[@canturgan]

A waist level finder might have been a better option under these circumstances. Good vid.

[@nickcarverphoto]

You're absolutely right. I think I had it with me, too 🤦‍♂️

[@shelbycarver4353]

Thank you for wearing sunscreen.

[@nickcarverphoto]

Shelby Dominique ha! You're welcome. I should get more soon. Which reminds me, do you need anything from target?

[@DrNaderAwad]

Nice video, thank you for uploading Nick. Pity about the few underexposed images I guess, but I barely ever shoot film so not really a full bottle on the complexities of nailing "the shot" using film. Very much looking forward to watching the rest of your videos!
