From my trip to visit friends in Alaska, July 2007
Summit Lake in Hatcher's Pass

So does that mean I can shoot my 8x10" camera and take a 6x17 cm sliver out of it to post here? :D
Right, we'll have to post our 6x25 images in another section. :p ;)
Doesn't anyone else want to post some of their 6x17-cm photos?
This one of a hunting shack in the Louisiana swamp... close to the road but only accessible by boat.
Bob G.
Very nice Bob.
I have only a few 6x17 images, did not get a camera until this summer and still need to take it out more.
This one a street scene from Portland.
And one from Sisters Central Oregon

I might have posted this before but what the hell. 150mm lens on a shen hao with 6x17 back. Taken this august:

And then there's my experiments with cross processing Vericolor VPS.
This one f9 @ 600 sec. Fuji G617

I'll post some more to keep the thread alive.
Pardon the slight crop on #1.
All done with my Fuji G617

Last image is the Bayonne Bridge, Bayonne NJ... about a mile (as the crow flies) up the Kill Van Kull from the terminal where I work.
Quite a bit of talk about either: 1) tearing it down and digging a tunnel for Route 440 or 2) raising it.
Either way (in my humble opinion) will likely be a disaster.
All so the super size cargo ships (soon to be coming through the enlarged Panama Canal) will be able to get into Newark Bay.
Cheers.

I guess no-one else wants to help keep your thread going.
With all that arguing a few weeks ago I would have thought this thread would be at 100 posts by now.
Maybe it'll pick up after the holidays.
Here's another... a couple old geezers getting some R&R at my uncle's hunting cabin in the north Maine wilderness, ca. 1994. Fuji G617, Kodachrome-64, f8 @ 15-sec.
Not my best work but one of the few indoor shots I've ever done.
Bob G.
Bob, i don't really think anybody is shooting 6x17 :rolleyes:
Much easier to argue than to go shoot some nice photos. I will try to bring mine out over the holidays.
Nice cozy atmoshpere there, perfect timing with the dark and cold outside.
Jan: You may be right. I belong to a professional site on yahoo-groups and I tend to see a lot of arguing there too.
Yes it was quite a nice place to visit. Unfortunately both my uncle and the cabin are now gone. But over the course of my life I spent about a year's time there as a "base-camp" for hiking, fishing, and photography.
Doing justice to the scenery there was the reason for purchasing my MF 617 in the first place.
A few more shots from that era attached.
Cheers. Bob G.
Should I assume it is safe to post images here from a 6x17 Fotoman?

Hard for me to see it in black and white. I don't have any 6x17s of FL yet but some 6x9 of sunsets in E100G are spectaculars. I almost booked a couple of weeks for NocheBuena/Christmas in FL but I decided to cancel at the end. Glad I did with the snow in New England. My family in Miami complains of being "too cold" this winter. :p
An oldie ca. 1996. When I was shooting Manhattan from Jersey City.

One from 2001 I just scanned.
Scene: Mt. Lunksoos from a point on the East Branch Penobscot River that (I understand) the logging crews in the 1800s referred to as "Devil's elbow."
Fuji G617, RVP
Exposure information lost

Cape Conran Jetty, from DYI 6x17 with 90mm.
Final testing with some old Fuji Astia 100F
SM:
I like the color gradation.
Gee... I've used a bit of Astia myself but don't usually get such rich colors.
I'll have to pull some out of the freezer and try again.
One of my own on Astia. If you ask me what mountain range it is I've forgotten. I'll have to look it up in my notes. Somewhere in Alaska not far from Palmer where I stayed with friends in Summer 2007

Seriously difficult trying to keep this thread going.
Wrong forum I guess....
This one slightly cropped but done with my Fuji G617 on CS-120.
Sunset looking West from Route 11 Patten, Maine.
Bob G.
Wow Bob G
very cool
Ed:
Thanks. Yes it is a favorite spot and I've done photos there several times. But not in many years. I never had much luck with CS-120 but that one did come out nice.
There is a little parking area there at the overlook and I've stopped there several times for sunrise/sunset photos. But I never seemed to have the right camera.
Since then I bought more LF equipment including quite a number of long lenses and two Sinar 6x12-cm panorama backs. So I do plan to do the scene again sometime when I get back there. The spot is about 15- miles east of where my uncles wilderness cabin used to be so it was easily accessible over the years. Not so any more now that both he and the cabin are gone.
But like Arnold said, "I'll be back!"
Another done there at sunrise... also done with the Fuji G617 and cropped a bit at the bottom. I don't recall what film. My notes are at home.
Cheers. Bob G.
Nice minimalistic shot, Bob...

Love the images Shailendra.
Shailendra:
Nice color transition from #1 to #2. I like #1 just a bit better with the hint of blue at the top. But it goes to show what those of us doing sunrise/sunsets have learned... to keep shooting as the rise or set progresses because each shot will be uniquely beautiful.
Bob G.
Lovely set of colour and B&W image Shailendra. Your site inspired my 6x17 trip. Bob that last image is no slough either, beautiful light on the hills.
My own effort from a sunrise along the 90 mile beach on the south east coast of Australia. 90mm on Portra 160VC
SM:
Nice. I like the way the blue sky is reflecting in the water.
Sure wish I could get down-under someday. But I'd probably get eaten by a croc before getting any good photos.
Here's a vintage Atlantic City, NJ photo I did in the 1990s. Looks like I'm really having to dig into my old files to find something to compare with Shailendra's sunsets.
Bob G.
Was that shot on Provia rguinter?
