>>2978644Thanks for the response, my biggest fear is running into predators if I were to be by myself, but thankfully I have a few buddies who are willing to backpack with me, I haven't gone on a trip by myself just yet. I recently watched a gear bag video by Chris Burkard, a local photographer with a big name, it was very informative!
I bought a kit from Bostock and Sullivan, I think that's their name, and developed a few plates on location, there was an empty trailer I converted into a darkroom for the day, and got a few nice shots, though it was the only time I messed around with ambrotypes, let alon large format! I used a Crown Graphic, it was a fun experience, here's a plate from that shoot.
DESU, I haven't went out and shot in a long time since I've been in college, and I do miss it a lot. Since I'be been doing more backpacking it's making me want to open up that can of worms again, but all I have for now is a F100. But man, looking at all your photos makes me want to get back at it!
