Hello guys.  I have been playing around with a friends Pentax 6X7
camera.  It is a beautiful medium format camera that sounds like some
one is loading a shoot gun when it goes off.  CanI please get some
feedback on the pictures?

  I was trespassing when I took the pictures but sometimes you have to
do what ever t it takes to get the shoot.

I'd love to see them, but your site set off my anti-hacker software.  Twice.

Did not bother mine, but you did not miss much. Looks like the camera
did it's job, but ...

Too much clutter, especially foreground clutter, as I recall.

Composition needs a lot of work.

Photos are cluttered messes to me.

And spoil potential shoots for those who follow the law.

I see a series in the making.

They are too busy and could have been taken equally well with 35mm so not
really a fair test, if that's what it is/was of the Pentax.

Like all cameras they are tools and you have to ask yourself which is the
most appropriate for the job you are doing.

Indeed 6x7's go off like a shotgun. My RB67 is a beast but seldom seems the
field and is used in the studio more often. I'd use my Hasselblads for
outdoor medium format work just because it's lighter, quieter and besides I
have a bag full of reflectors and filers as well.

Try a subject that would benefit from a 6x7 format, but no doubt the camera
is a joy to use.

Way too cluttered.  Too much fuzzy, indistinct stuff in the
foreground.

Primarily overexposed for the subject.  There's one frame out of the
bunch that's properly exposed (second to last).  If you boosted
contrast after scanning, don't.

Mostly, the subject is just lost in the frame.  It's either burned
out, or it's surrounded by and covered with a lot of busy foliage.

Enjoy playing with the Pentax.

Any chance you could make it available on line so that we can see it?
