A very timely thread indeed and thankyou all for the wealth of information. My partner and I are going to finally get married for my sixtieth (two years away) and are going to visit Canada (bucket list item) to capture some of the amazing scenes on 4x5 using my Shen Hao. I am primarily a b&w amateur, preferring xray film to anything else, but will take some coloured film with me for places like whistler and banff. We intend doing the rail trip and hopefully be able to modifiy the itinerary to disembark and perhaps hire a car for more scenic areas.
I wonder if there is a thread available to offer conveniences for travelling large format photographers. Not for this trip but I live in Queensland Australia and would love to have more learned large format photographers visit to glean experience from. I also have a darkroom and most facilities one would require. Ultimately my dream would be to have a small group stay and use our home as a base.
