Jack Dykinga in Nat. Geographic

[Kirk Gittings]

There is a great spread by Jack Dykinga on the Big Bend in Texas in this months National Geographic. It has the same wideangle 4x5 LF look as Jacks other work so I assume it is LF.

Thanks Kirk, Dykinga is one of my favorites. His work is all 4x5.

There was also a spread in the Winter 2007 issue of Nature's Best on the same area. Quite stunning.

Hi Kirk,

Thanks for the link and information. I knew that Robert would comment since I am aware that Jack Dykinga is one of his favorite photographers.

I know for a fact that Jack is now shooting fully digital, with a fullframe Canon and some top-end lenses....





LOL I had you for a second there, Robert?
Cool to see some super LF-photography in NG..

Yes, I was about ready to "blow a gasket"

Hi Kirk,

Thanks for the link... beautiful images!

Hmm they all have that telltale 2:3 aspect ratio.

Thanks for the link. Five years ago, I bought Jack's LF book at a discount store because I liked the photos. Next thing I know, I am shooting LF, with the joys and expense of it all. I would love to meet Jack, so I could thank him and curse him in the same breath.

I felt the pictures strangely "cramped," too, but most of them are originally 4:5 if you copy or save the images and view them with PS and such. Still too small but look better to me.

It appears the NG site automatically distort images into 2:3. Designed for dSLR photos? In any case weird.

Interestingly, in the magazine they are not cropped to the 2:3 format. The web images are cropped not distorted.
