Edward Burtynsky’s Epic Landscapes - The New Yorker
^^^
That right there is a fantastic long read in the New Yorker about Burtynsky and his various projects and travels. I was truly fascinated and could not put it down. Some surprises to me were that it seems like he's given up Film. The purist in me thinks thats a bummer but I really shouldn't be shocked. His method of composing a Hasselblad H body on a drone sounds like a nightmare! But his images are sublime so it must be worth it. Those custom made drones are neat. I think I'd still go for one of the M4/3rds drones from DJI. You might not get the raw resolution SooC but it looks like he's stitching with a tele. There is a tele available for the DJI and it would make your life a lot easier in many ways. Plus I bet the dynamic range isn't so far off (CMOS vs CCD). Not that I should be talking anyone out of shooting Hasselblad, I think it's amazing!
I'd sure love to spend a few weeks living this guy's life.
Anyways hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
