Here's an image from the first roll, taken with a Shen-Hao 6x17 with my Nikkor 90mm f/8 on Pan F+ and developed in Rodinal semi-stand. Happy to finally be using this camera. Since buying it in December I have been exceedingly overworked with 60+ hour weeks and barely anytime for photography :(.

Congrats! The tones are nice, it's a little bit crooked for my liking but interesting for sure.

:)
I was on a hill. The Shen has a little spirit level, so I'm pretty sure I was within a degree or two of level, technically.

I figured that was it.

this is great. at first it looks like you managed to knock your tripod down. then looking more carefully I see how the dynamism of the composition works. also the straightness of the trees especially the ones on the middle tells you why it looks like this. you can see clearly that the picture was taken on slope.

I like the contrast and tones. i think this looks great printed with strong blacks. would love to see that.

Thanks algarzai!
I'm going to try this printed with ink on some roll paper as I don't have an enlarger that can do 6x17. But I have to find/shoot another panorama so I don't waste a ton of paper only printing on half the width of the roll! I have two more rolls from the 6x17 to develop tonight or tomorrow...

I like this a lot, Austin. Simplicity and wonderful wide open spaces. Real sweet.

Well done, Austin.

Love that horizont line.

Yes I agree with all the above comments. And the farmer did a nice job of plowing. (Farmers notice those kind of things.)
