    Another awesome one Jason. The combo of Nikon film camera, 300mm lens and 2x teleconverter pointed at the sky took me back 20 years ago, sitting in the freezing cold trying to capture a lunar eclipse in my front yard with an FM and ancient Nikkor-H 300/4.5 my pop gave me. From memory, your pics were much better. Kudos.

    In the for what it's worth dept., (not much), The scene where you photographed a dead tree in the flat countryside you said to the effect that this is what the whole State of Ohio looks Like. Actually there are five distinct regions in the state. The Great Lakes Plains, the Till Plains, The Appalachian Plateau, The Bluegrass Region and the Lake Erie Shoreline. Your tree shot probably was taken in the till region named because it's used tp cutivate crops. Ohio, in my opinion has a subtle beauty. The grandeur of the Rockies is several hundreds of miles to the west. Your glib comments alone make your channel worth viewing. I'm at least old enough to be your great grandfather. your meanderings with your friends takes me back to my twenties when we did similar things. Keep your videos coming.

    50mm was my first focal length on film and it's still the one I default to when just walking around. I think what draws me to it is that it doesn't distort anything. 35 is similar but 50 provides that extra bit of separation that helps things pop in my opinion

    If you are not happy with your slides, it may be that you are not protecting your lights. When you use Negative film, you have much bigger range and look out for the shadows. When you shoot slides you look out for the lights an let the the shadows fall to black. A spotmeter is very recomended if you shoot slides. But all this aside your pictures are nice!!!

But ive had the same type of thoughts over and over: "are my photos good enough? is everybody just lying to me and saying they're good when they're not" and so on. Im pretty lost and although id love to be able to live by my photos and make a living there's always those thoughts on the back of my mind. Anyways, loved the video, I really liked to see how others photographers that share the same passion are able to help and inspire each other, I hope I meet people like that at university. thanks

Wish I'd made the two-hour drive west to totality but the weather was sketchy and the two-lane roads to get there looked like LA at rush hour.
