I personally shoot Fuji HR-U X-Ray film since it's great resolution and can't beat 40¢ a sheet. I don't feel too bad whenever I mess up and it's really helped me learn 8x10 fundamentals

I'm actually a bit surprised that you don't end up taking any portraits of the two of you on these excursions. I know the times I have gone on adventures I always try to get a picture of myself and friends on the film.

I just wanted to thank you for your videos. It is always a treat for me to see that you have posted a new one. I don't know if you're aware of how much some of us appreciate your style, insights and artistry but rest assured, we do and I'm one very big fan.

Hi Jason, I'm sorry you are down. We all experience the valleys and mountains along the way. Wherever you are, we are ready for the next sunrise alongside you. Dew bros unite

[@Frantixj]

I love LF because it validates my viewing of a scene and triages frames. If you go somewhere with a 35mm you shoot a roll and get 5 or 10 good shots, maybe 2 very good shots. With LF, you go with two sheets loaded and you come back with two sheets shot - both are great. It makes you triple-think before shooting, punishes you when you screw up and rewards you when you actually find a good composition. I also started with some Harman direct positive paper - quite a difficult material to work with but man... once you get it, oof.

[@Noah-lj2sg]

"I set up the 120mm... a nice super wide-angle" God I love 8 x 10

[@ericcornell3243]

The chaos of the second shot with the piles of chairs and what not. Very good. Really like that one.

okay I thought I was trippin when I didn't see it in the actual shot lmao

[@jasongold6751]

I am filled with wonder and awe! Maybe the prints are worth the work! The cost aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Many generations ago, My Linhof a mere 4x5, parted company! Enlarger, sheet film holders, extras were gone! Gone! Never missed! I know it seems fun! I see lots of labor, few choices and horrible calculations! Anyway respectfully, great results! I can see your prints gracing fine restaurants and hotels! One's still in use! Bravo Jason!

[@Riverrockphotos]

I'll never give up my 4x5 untiI buy a better one. lol.

[@data4943]

Wow, my father used a Cambo bellows camera with offsets, Schneider 1.2 optics that also served him with a coupling for the enlarger, and 13x18 cm plates and an adapter for 120/220 rolls and 6x7 cm format. It's been about 60 years now.

[@EdwardMartinsPhotography]

I spent the 1/2 the day today going through 14 - 4x5 holders and 7 - 8x10 holders making sure what was where. I have 3 sheets of 8x10 to develop from last year, and then load those 2 holders and everything is 100% again. Nice to be shooting Full Frame again isn't it? 🙂🙂

I have a few thoughts on this episode: 3:01 James May Moment 18:10 The clock ticking sound at the golden hour shot is such a nice detail to empathize the underlying urgency. 24:58 Kinda miss the 3d-ish zoom-in at the end.

[@Notimportant1995]

With all those badass cameras, I was curious if you’ve thought about trying the new Kodak H35n? Im really curious what you could do with such a cheap point and shoot. Also my favorite shot is the “discard” at 6:50. The high contrast and composition look really nice with the added dimensions the graffiti gave it. Fantastic shot.

[@gavinjenkins899]

Fuji HR-U Medical Xray film costs 40 CENTS per sheet for 8x10. Rate at between 100-200 (inconsistent due to it being orthochromatic unlike light meters) and develop in normal B&W chemistry. Very high contrast, pulling may be a good idea too.

[@kurtpleavin]

Whilst not as cheap as X-Ray film, Fomapan also goes hard on larger formats.
