I'm also among the very first to post analog photography videos on youtube-an art that has seen a resurgence in the last few years. I've been filming video journals of my solo photography trips for 14 years now. When I started doing this, creating videos of landscape photography wasn't a thing. Now I am surrounded by so many talented people. My goal is to take you along for the ride, and tell the story behind the images. I focus less on the technical details, and more on the shooting experience.

Photographing the Canyons of Southern Utah: Spring 2024 (Episode 1)
In this first episode of my Spring 2024 series, I visit a canyon I've backpacked into for the past 2 years. While editing the videos I noticed that the image stabilizer of my Sony ZV-1 ran continuously even though it was suppose to be turned off. It gets picked up on my mic from time to time, so my audio isn't as clean as usual. It's one of those things most people likely won't notice, but I figured I'd mention it regardless.

Death Valley Winter 2023: Large Format Film Reveal
Liked both the photos Ben. Indeed the composition of the canyon photo looks very well with the 1/3rd rules.
Thanks Ben a very good start on this trip. Until Next time.
The spider in the sandstone image is cool.. and love that composition. thanks again for sharing another wonderful video of your experience in the wild.
Hey Ben, good to see you back. No matter what, your work always makes my day better... I did get a feeling of a different editing style (or camera or even color space) here. Maybe it's just RUclips. Thanks so much.
Looked up your Tuscan stew out of curiosity. Oh man... $14.50 for that. I think I'd just bring a can of bean soup or chili or something. But, it's apparently based on Ribollita, which sounds like a delicious recipe I want to try now!
They certainly aren't cheap, but the price is in line with most other backpacking food these days. I talk a bit about those meals in episode 2. Needless to say, I'm a fan because of the nutritional value without all the bad stuff, along with their compact size.
Love the images. Reminds me of some great walls at the Valley of Fire. I wonder how many miles you'd save not retracing your steps to record the experience. I can only imagine how good it feels to get back to camp and take that backpack off.
The regular returns to known areas - what Bill Neill calls getting friendly with a location - continue to reap rewards. Inspiration, too. It’s always a pleasure to accompany you in the wilds.
I, of course, love the sandstone close-up, but I can't believe you walked past all the potential at 4:05...
That's my buddy "Teefs". ;-)
Great job!
Beautiful video and the background music complimented it nicely. Can you tell me the title of that track?
What was that valve that you placed on the tire valve stem? Outstanding video, as always!
Staun Deflators. You can calibrate them for a specific tire pressure and then they automatically stop. I have mine set to around 20psi.
Ben: I really appreciate that you tell the viewer the date and time at the start of your video, also that you share a word or two about your mental state. Knowing when you are there and what your mood is, is important since it sets the stage. Traveling solo is not easy especially driving long distances. Thanks for the video.
A photo in Zion that includes sky! I never thought I’d see the day.
I like the composition of the juniper photo like it is alot, with the tree in the center,the diagonal structures in the sandstone below and the opposing lines in the background.
Great to see you back Ben , two great photos on the first day . Love the peace and tranquility of the video
Good to see you again Ben. The red and green of the canyon walls and the Juniper just look so good together.
Anyone else think the scene with the tree, stream, & wall starting at 18:04 would make a wonderful photo?
You might want to watch my video journals from last year’s visit to this canyon. 😉
Yes, I had the same idea..the winding stream leading to the juniper. Quite lovely.
Successful first day. That photo of the wall is fabulous!
Another awesome video Ben! (@3:33... That's why they make those things called leashes!)
Great presentation, Ben. Your images are always, great inspiration. Thanks. KB
0:36 I think I've watched Top Gear too many times that an angle like this has left me expecting something to fall on the vehicle.
"As I watched the intro to what is normally another highlight, Ben Exploring and another series, I realized how deep the photographic apathy had reached. As he walked into the traill I switched off" Said no-one ever! Ben's back Woo-Hoo!
Man, 18 miles of hiking! I bet you lose ~5lbs every outing
That photo of the sandstone wall is really wonderful. That mountain lion track would have convinced me to return further than just out of the canyon again 😂
Not a critisism, but curious what that weird background noise was?
I added a note about it in the video description. I use a Sony ZV-1 for my backpacking trips and have the image stabilization disabled because it creates a mechanical whirring sound that is picked up by the mic. After returning from my trip, I realized that despite having stabilization disabled in the menu, it was somehow running continuously with no way to shut it off. Otherwise I love the ZV1, so I’ll likely give this one away and replace it with the ZV1 II which has no optical stabilization and a wider lens. I love having super clean audio, so it bummed me out that the camera broke.
@@BenHorne Thanks for the explanation. I always watch your videos on my big-ass TV, where it deserves to be watched! So, I didn't see your notes. I should have checked before asking!
Great video Ben! Is that the same canyon that years ago you encountered that weird agressive bull?? Seems like... Cheers from Germany 💯
Wonderful stuff, Ben, sandstone image is gorgeous 🙌🏻 Lovely to see some of your previous images in the b roll footage also
Great to have you back Ben. Love everything about the sandstone wall image....just beautiful. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Brings back fond memories of my visit to the Moab UT area a few years ago (though breakfasts and suppers were always in the motel restaurant 😉).
Beautiful images as always. Those Vivo's are just fine!!
Thanks Ben, I always look forward to your videos. Question from a non-Off Roader: What were you doing with the tire pressure at the beginning of the video? Adjusting for the terrain?
Hi David! The specific tires I use are best kept around 40psi on the highway, but as soon as you go offroad with them, it makes for a harsh ride. There are a few rocky ledges I knew I would have to drive over, so lowering the tires to around 20psi makes the roads more pleasant to drive on while also reducing the chance of a sharp rock leading to a puncture. I carry a compressor with me to air them back up again before driving on the highway.
It reminds me of the movie The Last Samurai because they did everything with great care, for example the scene where they prepare tea
The sandstone detail close-up is amazing! Thanks again for a wonderful wilderness and creativity experience!
The OG landscape photographer youtuber returns with another lovely video.
The sandstone wall has a strong three-dimensional effect happening. I always appreciate your attention to detail and quality. Thanks for sharing, Ben.
Lovely video as always! I always enjoy watching your videos as they bring calmness and inspiration. It almost feels like I am there, walking around and taking photos with you in the same location. Thanks for sharing your journey. Looking forward to your next video.
Cool! Another Ben Horn video series. Hiking 18 miles with a large format camera? Yikes!
Excellent first video, from a beautiful location!! It was good to see, that the waterlevel was finally low enough to visit this other canyon. Looking forward to the other subjects, you where able to find this year!!
I love that sandstone shot. Excellent work. I also quite liked the Juniper shot. I didn't think it was cluttered, just detailed.
Could you give the name of the manufacturer of the filter case? I have the Summit system and agree with you about the individual cases being too bulky. I couldn’t understand the name you mentioned.
Thank Tank Photo. :-)
Great video. Your physical fitness and hard work are impressive. Really like the sandstone image.
Love the detail in the close-up, well done. Definitely looking forward to the coming days (and wondering if that cow was from natural causes, or lion?)
Thanks Mitch! Based on the placement of the cow along the edge of the wash and the angle of its head, I’m guessing it was taken out by a flash flood.
13:20 no reciprocity rule past 1 sec?
Provia is a fantastic film with regard to reciprocity failure. No correction is necessary until you're well into the range of minutes.
This guy is a peaceful soul. I love the way. He presents his photographic journeys… No pretentiousness. Just good old-school photography. I appreciate it.
Thanks for watching Jason!
I’m just starting these episodes now, inspiring work Ben. If you are still checking comments on this video what is the tool you use at 3:45?
Hi Matt! You can find them on Amazon if you search for "Artist's View Catcher". It's a fantastic tool for visualizing a composition before even pulling out your camera. I carry it in my pocket at all times on my trips and by glancing through it, I can immediately identify how well balanced a composition is and if there are any distractions to be aware of.
Thanks. Been trying to get the hang of my 2 LF cameras.
Great work Ben, really enjoy the photographs.
Another fantastic, relaxing video! Thanks for sharing Ben! I really like the first composition. I couldn't see it was soft on my screen though
Having examined quite a few 8x10 view cameras recently, I'd suggest this camera is a reasonable choice for someone that wants to experiment with 8x10 without investing too much money but it clearly suffers from quality limitations that are inevitable at the price point. But at the price, it's a decent deal since, when/if you decide to move to a higher quality camera, you won't lose much money when you sell it. But it's not a camera I would keep beyond the "training phase." I agree re comment about Fresnel screens. I find them to be more annoying than helpful especially when trying to focus at screen edges - the rings are more prominent than the subject. I tried two different fresnels on my camera and ended up going back to the plain ground glass.
I agree, Lamborghinis are great cars for people what to experiment with automobiles without investing too much money but they clearly suffer from quality limitations that are inventible at the price point. 😉 You're probably thinking of the Intrepid 8x10 and not the camera shown in this video.
nice so see some directional light :) the 2nd image is wonderful. and I like the 3rd photo i think it was out on the salt lake.
