cintia_k Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 <p>I know the TLR might be a better camera for portraitures than architecture, but somehow I am still curious if there are any good examples of the following taken by a TLR, whether with a Seagull or Rolleiflex... ...<br> -architecture<br />-cityscapes<br />-landscapes<br> And I am also interested to see some good B&W images... ... wonder if anyone can point me to some good portfolios.<br> Thanks and wish you have a nice day. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDMvW Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 <p>Uncropped, at least, the 6x6 or 6x7cm formats are not all that great for landscapes of the broad vista kind. However, everyone I know who ever used these cameras has cropped all over themselves - citing croppy photographs as a unique benefit of squarish, medium formats.<br> You ask for examples at a bad time, when many forums have just been criticized for crappy as opposed to croppy pictures. Well, here's at least one example, but taken with a Pentacon 6TL 6cm SLR with a Zeiss Sonnar 180mm f/2.8 lens.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjferron Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 <p>Not sure it's very good but this was taken with my Rolleicord VB and I forget which B&W film.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_waller Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 <p>This one was shot on my Mamiya C220, using Ilford FP4, rated at 50 ASA and devved in Rodinal. The scan is not good but then I only have a cheap scanner.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cintia_k Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 <p>Thanks everyone for your kind replies and generous answers! Didn't expect so many answers in such a short time :)<br> I've been amazed at what this photographer is doing: http://www.martinstavars.com (he might be using some other cameras... maybe digital?)<br> A lot of square formats and I'm actually looking around for photographers with similar styles. Do you happen to know anyone doing similar styles?</p> <p>Again, thanks everybody for your nice pictures. It's a joy to look into them!!!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_purdy Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 <p>it kind of reminds me of Michael Kenna's work. </p> <p>http://www.michaelkenna.net/imagearchive.php</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylynn Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Vivian Maier mainly shot TLRs. The guy who's been publishing her work put up a new web site recently, Google will know where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintia_k Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 <p>Thanks Purdy! His photos are nice. Specially love the Huangshan series---a reminiscence of the old Chinese ink-in-water landscape scrolls.<br> Somehow I wonder what technique they use? Something I would like to explore... ... For example, any filters applied? A lot of post-production? Any special kinds of film negatives? Or just simple B&W?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_purdy Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 <p>There is a lot of information on Michael Kenna on line if you search google. But for the most part he is using an older Hasselblad with a couple of different lenses and shoots a lot on Tri-X. I have seen one of his shows and he makes small prints on a standard paper, I think Ilford MG and tones his work in sepia/selenium. He likes to work with really long exposures so often works at night though his images don't look like night. It is interesting to research him.<br> Dennis</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
