If you're used to APS-C or 35mm cameras, moving to medium format is essentially the same user experience, save for a bulkier camera. Large format, on the other hand, is an entirely different beast that takes a lot of practice to master. Follow a landscape photographer as he continues to learn the process and enjoys the unique challenges brought about by large format work.
Thomas Heaton has a real knack for landscape vlogs that are less the glamour of exotic locations and more the true love for the genre that carries him through the long hours and effort spent in its pursuit. In this video, he continues to learn large format photography (this is his third attempt). Large format is particularly difficult from a technical standpoint as compared to smaller formats, but I also thing it's an almost meditative sort of process, and like most difficult things, it feels amazing when you really nail it. In an age when we can take thousands of photos on a single memory card, climbing into the mountains to expose only four sheets of film seems like a bit of a foreign exercise, but large format work is just as much about the experience of the process as it is the results.
Nice video. Thanks!
