<p>Man, I love my Rolleicord III. It's taken me a long time to "get" the TLR shooting thing, but now it's hard to put down. It's become one of my favorite hiking cameras --- something I plan to do with it again, in the very near future!<img src="http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj291/Skopar/OldBostonMine.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>What awesome shots, everyone! I can't look at this post anymore because I'll end up looking for one of these. Beautiful cameras, too.</p>

<p>Just got this Standard 621 Saturday. A recent 'bay snipe and a darn good bargain, too. Well-preserved 75 year old specimen that just needed a good lens and groundglass cleaning. Shutter speeds seem good, so I'm off with a roll of Pan F this afternoon.</p>

Wow.. I am blown away by such great work here from these formidable TLRs. I'm inspired to load one and go shooting. I must admit I'm having trouble using them. The waist distance is just long enough to want me tio use my reading glasses etc and I'm finding them a bit cumbersome to use for this reason. And well I'm on a roll now.. I prefer the 6x9 negs over square nege..but now I'm really nit-picking. 6x6 is still a great format and you can always crop for effect.

<p>I made the switch to digital in 2003 and shot no film for seven years. But I've felt increasingly stale in my way of seeing over the past year or so. I think digital is better than film in most ways (just a personal opinion), yet it can become too easy to fire off a string of exposures(mostly from eye-level), check the histogram, and think to myself "Nailed that one. What's next?"</p>

<p>In an effort to shake up my vision, I brought out my Rolleicord 5b and Yashicamat 124 from retirement, ordered a propak of Astia 120 from B&H, and set off on a road trip for the book I'm currently working on.</p>

<p>Looking down into that square viewfinder, I became aware of composition again in a way I hadn't thought about it in years. Even shooting transparency film, I allowed myself only two exposures per scene -- one at the meter reading, and one a half-stop under. And I spent some time walking around, evaluating different angles on the groundglass before I made those exposures. It was refreshing, and in a way, very liberating. As Picasso said, “Forcing yourself to use restricted means is the sort of restraint that liberates invention."</p>

<p>Following is a photo of my Rolleicord 5b, and then two photos from the book I'm working on, "Georgia: A Backroads Portrait."</p><div></div>

<p>Here's a Rolleicord 5b photograph of Starr's Mill near Fayetteville, GA for my current book-in-progress, "Georgia: A Backroads Portrait." I used an 85B filter.</p><div></div>

<p>And here's a Yashicamat 124 photo of the McDonough, GA town square and courthouse for the "Georgia: A Backroads Portrait" book.</p><div></div>

<p>Dave, those two shots are excellent compositions. Great work with the TLR's.</p>
