Cool!

May I ask what camera did you use?

This was shot handheld (by me, with the camera held up to my eye) at 1/30th.
Not bad for a guy in a wheelchair with arms that could barely lift the camera, eh?

Pentax 645
SMC Pentax-A 645 75/2.8
Kodak Ektar 100
Epson V500

Well Done Colton
I wouldn't attempt that shutter speed myself handheld with the 75 on a 645 camera (well i say that - I have- and that is why I wouldn't. I'd need someplace to brace myself

Yield to the Force .... but consider the 645n. While it is a bit more expensive it is a much nicer box. Check out the respective ratings on this forum. I don't consider the 645nii worth the extra money, personally. While it adds mirror lockup, The Luminous Landscape writeup didn't find it necessary.

No, not bad at all.

You could do a series on reflections and I think it would be awesome

Mmm...mostly I'm thinking about the fratricidal fight 67 vs. 645....

Something like that?

However, not really an expert of medium formats, today I received my first 120 roll that went inside the new Super Ikonta III I received last week, I'm curious to test them the next weekend if it's raining too much....what I know is that the 67 looks like a Spotmatic on steroids and the 645 the illegitimate son of a Hassemblad and a Pentax LX.

I took the shot and only realized as I was pressing the button that it was 1/30. I re-took the shot at 1/60, but the first one turned out better.

The 645n is a great camera. My Mom has one that I borrow from time to time.
