I have often looked at the 8x10 images in "Broken Line" by Olaf Otto Becker and wondered how these were achieved, seeing as he seems close to them. It turns out he is taking them on a rubber dinghy, noted on the latest version of his website " I covered 4000 km along the west coast of Greenland alone in a rubber raft in order to document these with a large format camera. "

Just wondering if anybody had any thoughts as to how you would achieve the right combination of stability, shutter speed, D.O.F, to successfully capture these images..

Quite a few of them seem to be shot in very low light as well.. There are a few that do seem to be quite grainy for an 8x10 shot (even visible on the webpage), so maybe he is pushing the film quite a bit for these low light shots?
