Thanks 🤗

[@francoismassin8649]

This, my friend, is the best explanation to Why one shoots LF ... Wordless ! One can feel the calm and the surroundings just looking at this very relaxing video Great job Nejc :)

[@lostlightart6064]

Thank you Francois 🤗

[@iStobs]

This is amazing. I mean that image is just phenomenal.

[@rogernuffer]

I gave you a thumbs up just for the mill. What a great place to get a photo.

[@arnaud-ricou]

Fantastic !!! Photographies and video editing :-)

[@lostlightart6064]

Thanks Arnaud!

[@anthonymiller8979]

Zebra Dry Plates and your holder are my next LF purchase.

[@lostlightart6064]

Cool 🤗

[@chriscard6544]

Beautiful video and photographs

[@beckerse]

You picked a beautiful area to photograph. Great video!

[@lostlightart6064]

Thanks 🤗

[@ducatitastic]

Bravo Nejc, possibly your best video yet (imho) I really need to order some dry plates, the detail looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@lostlightart6064]

Thank you. I liked filming and editing this one as well 😊 And yes Zebra plates are definitely worth a try!

[@paulatterby7507]

I am an occasional user of 5x4 and found that really interesting. Never seen the dry plates before. Good photos.

[@reynaldocastaneda4712]

Great work Nejc!

[@lostlightart6064]

Thank you 🤗

[@richardstollar4291]

A couple of nice shots there... I never need to tighten the screws for my intrepid lens board - strange you need to!

[@lostlightart6064]

Thanks. I rather screw things down specially when carrying the camera on my shoulders. You never know 😁

[@marcelryser]

Thanks 👍❤

[@erichstocker8358]

That is a nice bag that you have for your intrepid. What vendor provides it. Some nice shots. I love the B-roll at the beginning where the beetle is devouring the leaf. Amazing how fast they can process plants.

[@lostlightart6064]

Actualy this is a hard case I got with gopro accesories on Amazon. I will have to find now one tho a bit thicker as the zippers have ripped. But otherwise it is a great solution!

[@erichstocker8358]

@@lostlightart6064 Thanks for the info!

Great scanning process! I'll try digitizing some of my collected autochromes :) On that subject, I recently had the extreme luck to get some unopened autochromes. I would love to try shooting with them, but really I don't know where to start. So much information has been lost. Oh well. Maybe I'll get to it someday. Everything I read online is very confusing...

[@lostlightart6064]

I hope I will find the time soon to finaly make a Autochrome series 🙏

[@dhp6687]

@@lostlightart6064 That would be awesome! I'm very nervous about mine. It took me years of searching to find some. But I think some people have had success with Alticolor film (I think it's just medium format autochrome) so I have some hope. However they are 9x12cm and my camera is 4x5 or 10x13cm. But I think it should be easy to convert a 4x5 holder to a 9x12. I am not sure if the emulsion is still good after 100 years, if it isn't I might try removing it and coating it with a new emulsion. I have never made panchromatic emulsion before, but it would be a learning experience at least.

[@sammerritt730]

You can get 9x12 plate cameras for not much I got one because it was the cheapest large format camera I could find

[@edwincampos7142]

WOW Speechless!!

[@lostlightart6064]

Thanks Edwin 😊

[@jeffpettittphotography576]

I love grist mills! I’ve shot over 45. Mostly in NC. Still quite a few on my bucket list. I wanna reshoot them all, ones still standing, on my Intrepid 4X5.

[@lostlightart6064]

Yes there is something special about them. A proper resemblance of beautifuo handcraft and in this manner they kinda connect with shooting dry plates 😊

[@jeffpettittphotography576]

@@lostlightart6064 Yes, I’d like to go back and shoot them on plates!

[@slotown1978]

What lens did you use?

[@lostlightart6064]

Schneider-Kreuznach Super Angulon 90mm f8

[@jamesdouglaswhittaker4612]

I am a lover of 5 x 4 , it’s quality and the movements but wonder why an iPhone and not scan or enlarge when that LF quality really shows ? Appreciate the quick results though for a small or. ‘proof’ print .

[@RandyPollock]

So I'm new here to the channel, after you take the image with your phone what happens next to the plate?

[@lostlightart6064]

Plate is archived until I properly scan, direct contact print item...

[@jackyleecs]

22:40 Are those anti-newtonian glasses?

[@Swamp_Donkey_]

Cool scanning process and very nice shots! What app is that?

[@lostlightart6064]

I just invert the coulours in settings as it is easier to get the right exposure

[@Swamp_Donkey_]

@@lostlightart6064 ah ok, I can't do that on my camera app

[@antoinedombois]

Well done 👍

[@lostlightart6064]

Thanks!

[@darrylroberts5235]

Great video, what tripod?

[@lostlightart6064]

Thanks Vanguard Alta Pro 263

[@132indo]

why would you shoot 4x5 then scan with an iPhone. use better optical scanner.

[@califmike2003]

Cant watch silent movies sorry.

[@sgroadie6367]

You go to all the trouble to shoot LF and digitize with a phone? Wtf!

[@lostlightart6064]

I do it for the sake of the video and because I dont have money to but the epson 850 😕 Otherwise I enjoy contact printing very much 😉

[@wolfgangleth524]

Does it make any sense to go through the beautiful dry plate process just to scan the results with your smartphone ? You will miss the whole thing; Make at least an analog contact print. Why do I have to watch you for minutes cleaning and rubbing the glas. Watching this video is just a loss of precious time.

[@lostlightart6064]

Hey Wolfgang. Thank you for your opinion. Nobody is forcing you, you can simply skip it nextime...🤷‍♂️
