This is a more difficult night scene where the film was a bit underexposed, making it harder to choose a white point and requiring some extra tweaks compared to the easy daylight image I showed you last time. There is also an introduction to luminosity masks in this video.

First time doing something like this, the video capture software did not show the cursor in exactly the same spot that it really was, but you get the idea.Intrepid mk3 4x5 Camera ReviewAlex Burke2018-11-12 | After more than a year using the mk2 version of the Intrepid, I recently picked up the new mk3 version. Many people have been curious about the new camera so I wanted to put a video together showing the features. I HIGHLY recommend that you read my written review here as I was able to go into greater details on some topics: http://www.alexburkephoto.com/blog/2018/10/24/the-new-intrepid-4x5-mk3-field-test-and-review

A bit of an impromptu endeavor filmed with a cell phone and edited by Lance Roth. This video was made to go along with this blog post here: http://www.alexburkephoto.com/blog/2017/8/25/wind-river-range-backpacking-with-the-intrepid-cameraPawnee SpringAlex Burke2016-03-29 | Spring is working its way into the plains of Colorado! The birds are singing away and the days are pleasantly warm, I just had to get out and explore a bit. Give it another couple months and we'll have green grasses and flowers for those few short weeks.April in Rocky Mountain National ParkAlex Burke2015-05-12 | Here's a new version of the video I posted two weeks ago, this one has the film results in the video. These clips are from two of my countless adventures to the high country this winter, waiting out light and enjoying mornings completely immersed in nature without another human in sight. The difference in conditions over the span of a few days is outstanding, from a calm peaceful morning after a fresh snow to the extreme blowing snow of a windswept mountain.RMNP April 2015Alex Burke2015-04-28 | Here's a quick video showing the difference a few days can make up in Rocky Mountain National Park. The first part of the video is from the wonderfully peaceful and calming morning I had today while waiting for light at Dream Lake, the second part of the clip is from Saturday morning on the side of Flattop mountain with gusty winds and blowing snow. Both days I didn't see anyone else on the trail and both were fantastic times to be enjoying one of the last snows we'll probably get this year. Did the light ever show up for me this morning? You'll just have to wait to see the film results!Bike Touring through Colorado and WyomingAlex Burke2014-09-05 | A compilation of photos and video from a recent bike touring trip through northern Colorado and southern Wyoming. Endless open views and empty roads made for some of the best cycling I've even done. Such an awesome experience!Big Bend National Park - April 2014Alex Burke2014-04-22 | A few short clips and photos from my recent expedition to Big Bend National Park in Texas. There's such a huge variety of landscapes here from lush mountains to canyons and barren desert. This is a little glimpse into my world as a photographer.Flattop in Early SpringAlex Burke2014-03-23 | Here's a clip of the conditions on my hike this morning. I quite enjoy these breezy mornings after a storm where the fresh snow blows across this clearing and creates a dramatic effect to the sun behind the krummholz trees. It's no wonder these pines can't stand up straight, they spend much of the year facing conditions like this.Winter Day at The LochAlex Burke2014-03-04 | Here's a quick view of The Loch in Rocky Mountain National Park this morning. While spring may technically be just a few weeks away, there's still no sign of its arrival in the mountains. Instead of me in this video, it's my good friend and fellow photographer Lance Roth getting blasted in the face by blowing snow. The things we do for photos...Lumpy Ridge in the SnowAlex Burke2014-01-28 | This morning I took a trip up to the mountains to spend some time in the snow. I knew it was going to be overcast and snowing so I wanted to try some different things with black and white film. Since I had some extra time I decided to make this little video to show you how peaceful it is up there in a soft snow like this. I didn't see another soul up there and the only thing making noise besides me was an owl at the trailhead.
These photos just came out of the darkroom, I look forward to printing them soon.

Mornings like this don't always turn out to make great photos, but it is always wonderful to spend some time up there wandering through the snow. I took a quick little video to show you all what a snowy and breezy morning in the mountains looks like. It really wasn't as cold as it looks, and I was quite comfortable sitting in the snow and soaking in the view.Zion SubwayAlex Burke2013-11-21 | A short clip showing what the inside of the Zion Subway looks like.Fremont Butte Storm - Looking NorthAlex Burke2013-04-09 | Shearing can be seen in the clouds as they move south against the direction of the storm movement.
