    Video Tutorials?

    Hey everyone!

    I'm very keen to head into the LF world. Ive read a bit of the guides on the website but I think I am a visual learner (learn best from pictures/videos). I was just wondering if anyone knows any videos on cameras, gear, set-ups, how to shoot etc etc. Ive seen most of them on youtube but if anyone knew any, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you all!

    "Camera Repair in the Field with Richard Ritter" Has tips on repair, what to carry, and much more.

    "The Richard Ritter Ultra-Large Format Camera Owner's Manual" demonstrates Richard's 7x17, explains the design and engineering of it and, subsequently, his 8x10 that shares much of the thinking.

    More to come, if I get motivated. I have shooting scripts for Large Format Basics, Large Format Portraits, Printing (an update of Printing with Fred Picker, which I was in), and - ulp - Composition. We may do a Camera Repair Two -Richard Unleashed, too. Now it's a matter of time and priorities to get them done (yuk yuk...they've been on the list for four years!). So no holding breaths. I'm amazed I finally got Finely Focused done, and its's "only" an eBook. Life gets full, doesn't it?

    www.circleofthesunproductions.com has what's available now, and will have any new ones.

    Alternately, come to a Fine Focus Workshop and we'll have you up and running in a weekend.

    All best,

    Will 2nd the vote for "The Richard Ritter Ultra-Large Format Camera Owner's Manual", while parts of it are specific to the Ritter camera's there is also some very good information on shooting LF. Now, should Bruce 'FIND' the time for those other vids I think it would be Great Of course, I DO understand the Life gets full comment...and that is an uderstatement Bruce. Besides, one must find time for our own photography first.

    Fred Picker made a video "Photographing With Fred Picker" that I used to enjoy watching. It isn't a detailed instructional LF video but it has some good information in it. It's long been out of production but copies turn up here and on ebay occasionally.
