Brian,

those are nice shots - you guys are going to make me go out a get a 6x17 camera :-)

Actually I have been contemplating one for a while now.

Is that last shot taken at Darwin Falls? It looks familiar to me.

How about some pinhole 6x17?

Snip images

Fantastic images, I notice there is not a lot of light falloff at the edges, is a back curved or is it a fairly big pinhole to film distance.

Cheers

Very nice work!

Leon,

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. I actually don't have a true 6x17. I use a DaYi 6x17 back for my 4x5. It extends the back out to cover it, although you're limited by the lenses you can use (Like 72-210mm). It's a lot cheaper than an actual 6x17 and gets the job done. Plus you don't have to buy the nose cones like you would with a dedicated system and you can do more macro types of shots as the minimum focus distance is shorter. Some complain that it doesn't hold the film flat enough, but I haven't had any issues with that. You can find them on here every so often or on fleaBay for around $500+/- with the holder and ground glass attachments. (There's actually one on there right now for like $139 used with a day and a half left if you search '6x17'. Should be on the first page or two, depending on your view.)

The last shot is of one of the many waterfalls in Hocking Hills State Park in Ohio. It's a really neat park if you ever get out that way. Here I always thought that Ohio was nice and flat but boy was I wrong!

Thanks Again,

-Brian

Brian,

thanks for the heads-up on the 6x17 back - I'll keep an eye on it as it may be an inexpensive way to start shooting some pano's.

I know what you mean about miscsonceptions of what a place looks like. I spent some time in Princeton NJ and would have never thought NJ would look so lush with vegetation :-) Unfortunately for me I was only shooting 35mm at that time :-)

Looking forward to seeing more great 6x17 shots - keep 'em coming folks .
