You can really tilt your head a lot Yes, the Jeep is still on a steep section but not as steep as shown. The camera is tilted about 15 degrees or so.
Well, in that case, then, you'd want to tilt your head to the left -- to make the view steeper -- not the right. But I return to the shrubs evident in your photo. They're pointing straight up, so you can't tilt too far.

I pondered that as well, but then I remembered that the lens being used* is very wide for the 6x9cm format and laws of perspective (keystone) will be more apparent.

* I clicked through. The lens is a Fujinon 65/5.6.

When I tilt my head to the right a little, the Jeep becomes more horizontal.

Spotmatic, SMC 100mm macro, Kentmere100
Male cones of Cedrus libani, about an inch tall.


Latley I have been making short rolls of 35mm, about eight exposures, and developing them in Ilfosol 3 at1:29 for 9 min. That needs only 10 mL of developer for a roll. It worked for this high-contrast subject.

Caffenol CH for 15 minutes @ 20° ... testing a different K2 with the SMC K 50/1.2 wide open on the first three, then about f/5.6 ... the film is Delta 100 and minor crops & adjustments in Lr4

I picked up a "bit worn about the edges" black Canonet QL with its case (plus a 1.5V battery) at a boot sale for 30€ ... I tested it a bit before the purchase and dickered the seller down 10€ from his initial price. Quickly threw a roll of FP4 in and went for a fast shoot ... and developed tonight. The frame spacing is not quite right at times, but not bad overall ... quite pleased thus far.

I have a lot of fun with rangefinders and it's too bad that Pentax really didn't venture into this domain ... some results via Ilfotec for 8 min. @ 20° ... scanned via Epson V600 and a bit of Lr4 to my crop likes & etc.

Another Baldix 6x6 one. I'd better put a Pentax one on sometime, likely! HP5+ 400 ISO: Ilford ID-11 1+3.

Had me a go at semi-stand development this morning, just to see what happened... Mess-Baldix, Baltar f4.5 75mm lens, Ilford HP5+ done in Adox Rodinal 1:100 for one hour at 20C with a ten-second twiddle at 20 mins in and 40 mins in.

Still testing the newly acquired Canonet QL17. Here is some Foma 100 Classic home developed in Caffenol CH for 15 minutes. Scan via Epson V600 and minor adjustments in Lr4.

The good ones ironically often need the most ‘testing’...

Yeah, I have a pair of light seal kits to install of this one and a chrome Canonet QL17 iii ... bought the seals mainly for the "iii", but it's nice that the second set of seals will go to some good use, too. Mandatory testing for installation ...
