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.
The second episode of this series is already live on Patreon for those who are interested.

    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.

    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.

    • @BenHorne
      @BenHorne 3 дня назад

      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
      @BenHorne 3 дня назад

      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.

      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.

    @buskman3286 Месяц назад

    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.
