Went there with the 8x10. This time of year is great because there are NO people.

Again another stunning LF format video! Thank you!
In the beginning as you walk on the path, it is fun to watch the gravel pop into focus.
I could follow your exposure setting much better this time.

A third of a stop extra in speed for Xtol seems quite a lot but useful to know.
In terms of my safety with that noise, no people and a hood over my head I'd have been worried about a big Grizzly behind some bushes saying to the wife "Tell the kids that breakfast will be ready soon"

Thanks, Sirius Glass! It's a good thing I'm keeping fit, otherwise I wouldn't have made it up to the falls. I'm going to go back in late Summer. Shouldn't be so much water, then. I was soaked!

No grizzlies around here that I'm aware of, but plenty of black bears!
Hmm... I wouldn't settle for anything bigger than "TED" and then only as long as he had Mark Wahlberg to keep him under control

Which probably means you are safe unless you happen to have a couple of honey glazed doughnuts in your pockets or camera bags.
Bears can be very curious animals. I wonder what they think if they come across Andrew out in the woods?

Here are three of Andrew's neighbours:
Great video. Looks like you have quite a well stocked backpack!

Yup! Even the extra pouches on the outside had lenses in them! They usually hold an apple fritter, or two, but I didn't want a visit from Yogi...
Andy, at 4:35 you said "I don't want to come here when the park's open." How did you get in if it was closed?

Great stuff Andy. I don't know how you keep all of these different processes in your head.

Funny you should say that! Sometimes I have so much going on at once, I get set up for one process, but I should have set of for another...it's even when I'm filming. Sometimes I have 4 or 5 different videos on the go and make a kallitype, when I should have made a gum over cyanotype... I should slow down, but I'm just having too much fun!

He climbed onto a black bear's shoulders and jumped over the boundary fence

He even offered to carry my gear, but only if I gave him my Apple Fritter. Go on, I said!
That's nuttin'. The bears I know will sit and pose for me - taken on Kodiak Island some years ago:

Similar in the sense that both can only be safely taken with a minimum of a 600mm lens. A great picture, chuckroastpentaxuser

Believe it or not, I shot that years ago with a Sony DSC-F505 which had nowhere near that kind of lens on it. I lived on Kodiak for many years and a family friend ran tourist bear watching trips to a salmon weir. When they offered me a free ride on the DeHavilland float plane, I jumped at it.
This bear walked down the hill a few hundred feet away, opened his mouth to show us his teeth to let us know it was HIS house. Then, he sat down and ignored us. He is probably a "little" 3 year old or so - around 900 lb, I'd guess. The really big Kodiaks are shy and stay away from people.
A few more here:

(Please note that I've never done post corrections on these. I probably should.)
P.S. I'd never get anywhere near that close to a mod ...
