Looks like we've been doing this a year now! Thanks for sharing your pictures. I love to see what others are photographing and what they're using to do it.

Here's one from this morning. Some kind of cool wasp. I used an off-camera flash for a little fill, and luckily the wasp decided to climb between some ziplock bags so it created a nice diffusion.

Very cool. I think the B+W especially suites because of the outfit. Wouldn't be quite as nice with a dark outfit. I still never quite know when to go black and white with my photos. I've been practicing though as I go out and only shoot black and white and try to think what works in that format.

Hit up South Dakota & the Southwest Corner of Minnesota.  Saw lots of Dakota/Sioux/Pioneer history.  I mainly brought along the Pentax 6x7, just a cell phone grab of the waterfall at the Pipestone National Monument.

Few first photos from a hike in Redwood Falls, MN with the SMC-A 35-105 & the DA Limited 40 2.8 on the K1.

My local photography club's theme this month is "Insects" hence I was out poking around in the grass and found this little guy. The JPEG seemed to be a bit overexposed, but after opening the RAW in Darktable, it turned out to be a decent exposure! Really happy with this photo, I could have done with a faster shutter speed for sure, will try again soon.

In a final bid to decide whether or not to keep the 6x9, I finally did this: shot big slide

I was doing a grad shoot for a friend when I decided to throw in the 6x9 and asked her to take some shots of me too. The results was this magnificent result.

I was initially really worried about metering, since Ektachrome 100 has like 6 stops of dynamic range. But overall, I'm really happy with these!

 

The contrast reminds me of digital a little bit, I think the crunchy dynamic range definitely reminds of some crunchier digital editing styles. The colors though are defintiely unique. It dies remind me of negative film, but punchier. Not necessarily in saturation, but just in... vibe?

 

Anyway. I'm really glad I tried this. I don't know if it'll be enough for me to hold onto the 6x9, since I really enjoy ground glass focusing and framing, but getting to have such a large piece of positive film right in my hand is certainly a unique experience.
