Nice shot of a very underappreciated area. Lots of neat things in Hocking Hills.
While anything on your list will work as will the suggestions, my advice is keep it simple. Large format is very different from shooting 35mm film. Many way ways to make mistakes and almost all of...
I use the Discovery which is a 4x5 model with 171 frames. It came with a nice case I can use. You can probably Google them. I use a LowePro backpack. With the folding rail, or a 15cm section you can...

Great shot.
Have not tried DNG or really seen a reason to either. Anything I scan becomes TIFF. My DSLR files are the Canon CR2 RAW format and I leave them that way.
From a business perspective I cannot...
Welcome, Jeff.
Watch for some of the local DFW get togethers that Gem or Michael put together. They get a good turn out of a local large format photographers.

Great shot of a great camera and classic SUV too.
I never miss a chance to eat at Meers! :D
This shot is from a few years back. I think the fires of 2011 really did some damage to this area. I was there in September and the contrast of the new...

Like Peter said, the Discovery is basically an F-Line with different knobs.
I have one and find the modular nature of it to be one of the huge plusses of the Arca-Swiss system.
You can see many...
About 300 sheets. I loaded up a fridge in the garage before it went away. :-)
Hope y'all had fun. This year has just not been kind on me meeting up. Maybe next time......

Awesome area. Forks itself has about zero of photography interest but is a decent central location for "base camp".
Second Beach is awesome. Short 15 minute hike through the woods. Awesome at...

Cool shots Tri. But I think you need a bigger camera.... :D
