Large Format is Changing How I Photograph - 2022 Fall Photo Series Ep 2
I have been wanting to learn how to do large format photography for a long time. I have always felt that the 4x5 format is the perfect way to photograph the subjects I find in the woods, allowing me to capture every tiny detail. This past fall was a great time to put my theory to the test, so I headed out into the woods with only my Intrepid 4x5 Mk5 and 4 sheets of Kodak Ektar 100 in my bag.
While I do find that some of my results are less than stellar, my experiences were priceless. Not only am I able to look around at familiar sights and feel like they are brand new again, I am now finding myself exploring new angles, trying to add some grandeur to my subjects that I couldn't quite do with other cameras. I am slowing down, studying every photographic possibility, and making choices I didn't even need to think about before. When you're limited to only 4 sheets, you're not going to shoot them the same way you would with a roll of 36 exposures.
So, while I did feel frustrated at times, and maybe still a little apprehensive, I am learning more about myself, and more about my craft. I am really excited to see where shooting large format is going to take me in the future, and I hope it makes me into a better photographer. Because if we're not learning, then what are we doing?
