Not an image but an idea - advice wanted.

I started shooting 6x7 roll film back in the day. A good size negative to crop without loss of detail. I still shoot 6x7 but I do love the 6x6 square format. At the end of the day it makes no matter to me what size I shoot with as long as the content is there. -
Thanks a million Fritz. -
Film Camera Week for January 20
von_mcknelly replied to Mike Gammill's topic in Classic Manual Film Cameras
I recently found 3 rolls of exposed 120 film in a camera bag I haven't used in 7 years. I was pretty excited to be developing film again so I went out and picked up 10 rolls of 120 film. I won't forget to develop the next patch.

Shot with my Yashica Mat TLR camera. -
Self portrait with my Frenchie babies. They are both named after cameras. -
Many thanks Fritz. -
Thanks you for the Wyeth comparison. Every time I look at this I can feel his art. (hope that's not weird to say) -
Thanks. The wood is from a 200 year old barn and I use the skillet every day. -
Thanks! Panned my Nikon F4 for this shot of a SF streetcar. -

Here are a few tips I've found that work for me along my 30 year journey as a photographer. Cutting off fingers is painful...keep the finger in the frame. 🙂 Jewelry can be distracting. In this case it's the watch. Move the subject away from the background and use a short DOF to soften said background. I find the using curves in PS can make the face pop off the page. The image is a tad flat in other words. Watch for hair fly-a-ways. Hair can be a pain to shoot and style at the same time. I hope these tips help you along your journey as a photographer. -
Now here's a different twist on shooting a falling leaf... -
So film noir, I half way expect Sam Spade to walk into the scene. -
I can appreciate the time and effort it takes to create this wonderful image. -
This image so has that "Twilight Zone" feel to it...the dark shadows and hooded pedestrian add up to spooky. Well done Tony. -

Very eye catching landscape work...it seems to be a bit centered and at the same time it's what I like about it. -
Well worth the trip back to this location. Loving the dark ominous sky that comes from the longer exposure. But, and it's only my opinion, but I find the old house to be bright and cheerful and not in line with the sky. A little creative dogging and burning should do the trick. Other than that, I think it's a wonderful landscape shot. -
Very cool...showing motion in a still is a great way to go here. -
I do expect a unicorn to come prancing into this beautiful scene any moment.
