Accurate portrayal of West Texas. I grew up out in that area and there's no country anywhere in the world like it. And some of the best people on earth can be found there. Nice film.

Awesome shots.
I love in Corpus Christi, but I dont make it out to the western part of texas...I should though.
Keep it up!

nice stuff. got any more? especially that rock, valley's and cliffs stuff?

also, what kind of camera did you use and if a canon what settings?
Jerry Serna 3 years ago

Very good shots, I live in south Texas I might go there just to see this wounderful place with my own eyes.

This almost makes me homesick. Almost. It captures all of the beauty of my homeland without any of the things that made me need to leave it.

amazing. parts of it reminded me of no country for old men.

really nice compositions.

it's easy to forget how much land there is separating all of us. its easy to forget how big the world is. stuff like this reminds me of that - thanks for putting it up.

Beautifully shot.
James McLellan 3 years ago

I parked my 18 wheeler just over three years ago. There's so much I don't miss and so much that I do. Long, peaceful days traversing the two-lanes in the likes of West Texas is one of the most missed - especially from my new perspective in Nova Scotia. Thanks for taking me back.
Howard A Phillips 3 years ago

Very serenely beautiful, the way you filmed and ediuted this seems to convey the landscape; not so sure about the colors, although they are really beautiful, it seems a bit 'pumped up' chroma-wise - but I'm not familiar with the territory, maybe the colors really are that saturated? In any case, this is really moving and enjoyable.
Robert Hunt 2 years ago

Actually I would say the colors were less striking than in real life. I have seen the sun set in many places but there is nothing like a West Texas sunset. I wish I could go back and take a 360 degree panorama and stitch it together in PS CS 4 Extended, using their new 3D tools. It's just about the only way you can experience the full range of colors and brevity of the West Texas Sky.

Nice, nature clips! Really beautiful.. God's nature is beautful in so many different ways..

The clips in they way they are and the fact that it's so high ressed makes you think your really there. Cool place! Wonder how the cows survice on dried out grass though.. Yellow "sunburned" grass can't be all that nutricous right?

I took a trip throughout west Texas when I was in high school. It's a very quiet and spiritual place, despite it being less than 'paradise'. If you're interested in seeing Texas like this video portrays, drive down to Big Bend national park!
malcolm man 3 years ago

Really beautiful.

The only shot I didn't like was that moving telephone wire shot when you were in a car or something. It just seemed really out of place being that it was the only shot that wasn't locked down.

Not that there's any rule against that. It just broke the wide open feeling for me and reminded me that there was a camera operator.
Emrys Roberts 3 years ago

I love the silence of the piece. Really emphasizes your footage which is very good. Great job. What did you shoot on?

:)
Marek Albrecht 3 years ago

Beautiful vid.
mike drew 3 years ago

I live right next to the Rockies in southern Alberta but it's the grasslands to the east that draw me like a nail to a magnet. As the saying goes, the mountains are nice but they kinda block the view. The Great Plains are the most beautiful landscape in the world and you've done them a great service with your piece. Any thoughts about converting it to nice, crispy black and white?

Eric Tsutomu 3 years ago

The clarity is just flawless. Really great video. What camera was this filmed on?
Joey Bike 2 years ago

I especially liked how the train in the last scene revealed the landscape behind it as the last car moved across the frame.

Nicely done. I love those "big sky" parts of the USA. It is a special beauty that some people just don't see.
Cris M 2 years ago

That's incredibly beautiful.
And I like the fact there's no music.
Charlie McRae 2 years ago

It's good, but I think some 'rolling shutter' was evident during the passing of the telephone polls. I've been through Marfa, seen the lights, etc. =)
daniel caruso 2 years ago

such a beautiful piece, the idea for just the surrounding sounds and no music was perfect...truly gives it the feel of what it would be like to be there.

excellent!

May I add my sincere and most thankful congratualtions? What you have here "Landscape Photography" only in Video. Its very moving. If you want to, I would like to chat with you and learn more about the person behind the art.

Thanks

So distant from what we live in big cities, like noise, smoke, people, chatting, subway, cars, doors... that makes rethink or breath ourselves and ways to work and live.
Sorry for the poetry, i liked your video.
Good art direction, good pallete colour.

What!!! No Marfa lights? Very nice piece, I lived in Winters TX for 9 yrs and I have to say I do miss the wide open spaces in West Texas. I'll have to find some of my footage of West Texas and try and get it posted.

Nice! That last scene of the train moving out of the screen leaving us with "forever" was particularly striking. I also agree with Theresa above - the fades in particular were stupendous.

Kaushik, you're right - "No Country..." was shot partionally in Marfa, and Marathon, Texas. Tommy Lee Jones lives in the Big Bend/Alpine area, and has been a factor in introducing Marfa to the art community.
