More trials with the GSW690III loaded with 400TMY
For family stuff I either do plain straight up candids or simply posed LF stuff. I've stayed away from the planned and conceptual types of things and generally think poorly of that. But rules of style are meant to be broken. I've got plenty of boring canoe photos so I was trying new things. It was dusk and I knew I could get a wide aperture with the rolleiflex and I knew how that would render. I asked my older daughter traveling alongside in the kayak to get into where she'd be in the upper right of the frame. Then I asked my younger daughter to point and talk about something I don't remember what it was, maybe another boat, maybe where we started. It all lined up, and when my older daughter's paddle was in the right spot, I took the photo with my wife's paddle bisecting that angle. So it has an intentional composition that is more complex than most of my photos from a canoe, but the story/action sort of disguises the composition.

Jason, that's an excellent photo and I admire the way you set up the scene given the circumstances. And also the fact that it is technically perfect, really well done!
Thanks. The light was nice (low but gentle) and I was sort of "in the zone" for a handful of nice photos that evening.
Tuco, that's the combo I use for travel photography. Fast film, fine grain, good tonality.... Both of your shots are very good, but the first one in particular is terrific!

I like Tuco's 2nd shot. Everything from bright sun to real shadows captured well with good tones. It's a nice film for those that put in effort to get the most out of it, and it's affordable for 120 format.
Thanks.
Thanks. I shoot TMY so much out of necessity. It is one of the thickest films I've used and will lay flat on my crappy negative carrier. I use to use a glass one and it could handle thin and curly film. But I can't use it anymore. Too many years of cleaning it and now the scratches show through. Even 100ACR gives me trouble. So I've learned to shoot 400TMY at EI 50, 100, 400 and 800.

Took family portraits and had a frame left. Took this and quite happy how it turned out.
