barefoot Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hello, Does anyone know of a source (either here on PN or another site) where I can view uncropped images taken with 6x6 film. Basically I am interested in how people compose with the 6x6 film. Regards, stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mskovacs Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Wim is talented using the full square: <a href=http://www.fotografiewimvanvelzen.nl/home.htm>CLICK HERE</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric friedemann Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Ditto, Wim, he really makes square MF work and is a very agreeable chap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas5 Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 David Henderson and David Goldfarb are both incredible guys who have websites (which, I confess I haven't got links for just now). They're as upstanding and fun as Wim and know as much, I'd wager. They shoot with Bronicas so check them out. I also ran across an article in Black and White Magazine about a fellow names Matthew Lennert who shoots with a Hasselblad and recently put out a book called "Answer Yourself." It looks pretty good.

derek_stanton2 Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 You can browse the galleries on www.photosig.com. At the top of the page, select the PHOTOS tab. Then, you can choose to see all of the images in their gallery categorized BY CAMERA, or by many other parameters. Just about every camera is listed, so you can easily see how people (amateurs) have used Rollei TLRs, or Hasselblads, or Holgas, or Seagulls, or whatever.... I think one option is also to choose to view BY FORMAT. I think pbase.com also has a similar 'search' mode, but the number of images categorized by camera is much more limited. Also, http://www.photographical.net/index.html has a lot of square stuff in its galleries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefoot Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 Dear All, Thanks for all the references. What an amazing collection of art. The reason I asked is that a friend of mine has offered me his Bronica SQ-Ai kit for a ridiculously low price and I have never really looked at a 6x6 image. At least I now know that if I take up his generous offer, there is no shortage of inspiration. Best regards, stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_gibson3 Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Charlie Waite is an English landscape photographer that shoots alot of medium format 6x6, mostly in Europe. His web site is http://www.charliewaite.com/. He also has a book called "The Making of Landscape Photographs" in which he discusses composition and other aspects of some of the photographs he has taken.

mskovacs Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 As Wim and others explain so eloquently on their sites, the square is very pleasing and uncramped. As a bonus, you can always crop however suits your fancy.<p><i><center><Summerhill Winery Pyramid during Fire Season, Kelowna BC, Rolleiflex 2.8E1, Velvia 50</i><p><img src=http://www.photo.net/photodb/image-display?photo_id=2086037&size=md></center> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefoot Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 Indeed Mike, I imagine one of the problems of a budding 6x6 photographer is resisting the urge to crop - especially if they have come from a rectangular background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_lewis Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 I print virtually all of my 6x6 as squares, full frame. I almost never crop. For me, I just love the way it looks. Have fun and experiment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotshot Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 I shoot 35mm and 6X6. 6X6 is great to shoot you don't need to turn the camera for portraits/landscapes it is a great format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andre_noble4 Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 That Dutch guy's site (Wim) is one of the nicest I've seen in a long time. Nice combination of scenics and people and you capture a spirit. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
