Hello,
I recently started a Youtube channel to describe my experience of starting with large format landscape photography.
Clearly I know the Ben Horne's channel, which has been of great inspiration for me. Does anybody know other good sources in Youtube or other valuable resources?
Thanks

This makes for a good rabbit trail.

That's some great resource! Thank youOriginally Posted by jp
You don't learn large format through a video. You learn by hands on experience...Ben Horne videos are for arm chair photographers who never leave home. I could teach you more on 2 days about l.f. than you could learn in 5 years...no one seems to be willing to shell out the cash to learn. But YouTube videos are free..right??
The more interest generated in LF the more people willing to take the bait and run with it. The more cameras and film bought, the more of a market there will be for cameras and film and the more cameras and film will be manufactured.
That's a good thing!
I can't begrudge anyone finding inspiration from Youtubes even though it isn't hands on.
Finding inspiration should be encouraged, not discouraged.
Then go out and buy yourself a view camera and some film

I absolutely agree with you on that. It's great if more interest is generated. YouTube videos might just be the first step, which could lead to try it hands on.
amen!
Peter, there is plenty of free instruction out there, but if you want to learn from a professional, you'll have to pay for it.

Does anyone have first hand experience from a workshop?Peter, there is plenty of free instruction out there, but if you want to learn from a professional, you'll have to pay for it.
I am generally a self-taught, I think it would be strange for me
My Youtube Channel - Darkroom and large format tutorials
I'm mostly self taught using online things, but have participated in workshops... Soft focus lenses, photographing children, ambrotypes.. Tillman Crane and MMW+C.
Workshops are great for:
things hand-on where personal training saves much trial and error. alt process for example.
things with high BS factor and misunderstandings where you need to try things - soft focus workshop.
making personal connections with instructors so that as you follow through with what you learned a support option is available.
