6x6
[posted at 15:55 GMT]    

Friend of mine borrowed my 6x6 camera to try some different look at world. I must say I really like that old machine. I am having some problems to understand handling, but hopefully it will be over today. I think I understood order of operations and certain right approach to old mechanic. I am using same Fomapan 200 film in it, doing some late evening portraits. I think some part of the film will be ruined, but hopefully I will get two or three shots technically correct. About artistic level I do not know, but we should see. I try to use very shallow depth of sharpness with focus only on eyes and let background unevenly lighted by late evening Sun fall out of focus.
