yes the panoromic views in large format are incredible.Another Paintographic.I liked the last one where the hands of sun rays reaching the water simmering under it reminds of the Lord blessing his desciples.What a wonderful shoot!

That last image is absolutely incredible, your way of being able to find interesting compositions that I would have never thought of, never fails to inspire me.

Very inspiring as always, Steve - I really like your focus on doing different things than the usual 'iconic" shots - you really bring out the beauty of black and white. Happy New Year, and you have made my 2018 that much more enjoyable. Cheers

Great blog as always Steve, and for me, some of the strongest images I have seen on your channel, so refreshing to see mono shot when it works as it should.

Stunning images n great video again 👍
So much thinking, calculations go into making one image that it’s made is mind n then transformed into the film. Enjoying n living that moment while making it.

Simply stunning images. You make it seem so easy, Steve.

To be honest I'm not too big on landscape phtography. I find most photos people shoot boring, just a blob of green here and a blob of blue there, but I've gotta say - the last image (11:07) is an absolute banger. It's moody, it has such detail and composition is spot on, absolutely love it!

[nikwilliams]

I really like your videos and your work Steve. Look forward to more!

[garywong]

Enjoy your video. Absolutely fabulous B&W panoramic landscape photos taken with the view camera.
