When I lived in Colorado, I spent as much time out on the eastern plains as I did in the mountains. That was something that some people didn't understand but I think it's only because they never actually spent any time out on the plains learning what the grasslands can teach and enjoying the quiet, personal experiences that await out there. This video really shows off the special magic of the grasslands that awaits those who are willing to venture out there. Great stuff, Todd.

There is something special about the Prairies and sorry to say many people bypass it thinking it is flat and boring. It is far from it and it is too subtle for most people hooked on the instant gratification. These lands in Alberta and Sask. invite contemplation and asking yourself where do you fit in this amazing landscape? Using a LF camera ( mine is an 8 x 10 inch) impels you to slow down and enter magical places. Well done, Todd!

For several years I shot everything with my Linhof 4x5 monorail field camera. It was good to go out with you in this video and remember some of the things I had to do for each shot. I mostly shot Agfa 400 b&W at about 360 ASA and processed it for 12 minutes in Rodinal at 1:50 and 68F. Most negatives gave me plenty of information to work with and I mostly adjusted contrast with the paper. I created and printed data sheets that my wife filled out for each shot so I would know how to process it. I kept old film boxes marked 0, +1, and -1 so I could sort the sheets in my changing bag back at camp and it was much easier to develop them in batches at home. Anyway, I enjoyed the trip with you and I really loved the color of the grasslands in the early morning and late afternoon shots. Adding a corral or a building here and there really added to the interest, too.

I don't own one, but have often thought it might be a good focal length to own. Since I also have the 45, I've been reluctant to get the 65 since it is fairly close to the 45. And now, Hasselblad has introduced a 55! Hard to justify these close focal lengths, particular due to their individual price tags!

On a technical note thanks for the overexposed underdeveloped idea. I realize this is a generalized question but overexpose one stop and underdevelop by 20%? Or is that TriX only?

@@toddkorolphoto Thanks so much for the info! I currently have a 150mm and a 210mm. I’m researching wider lenses for thru future. This is very helpful. I agree, you definitely get the “grand vista” type of view with your 120! 🙏🏽📷 🎞️

@@toddkorolphoto I made a detour through the park on my way to Weyburn on a business trip several years ago. Our company used a journey management system that required us to stop and call in every two hours, and if we missed our call-in time by a certain margin they were to notify our manager, and then the RCMP to come and look for us... I discovered there was no cell service anywhere in the park at that time. I got into a bit of hot water over that little side trip... LOL

Hey, love the video, I feel the minimalist field/grassland landscapes are very underrated, you made them look great, I especially love that first buffalo shot. Also I know you talked about upbeat but would you happen to know the name of the song at the start of the video? Thanks and keep up the good work.
