Last weekend I went up to the local botanical gardens with three different film cameras, each loaded with different film.  I just wanted to use them up!  I haven’t sorted out what film is with what picture, or what camera, but once I do sit down – this weekend – it will be interesting to see what combinations end up being my favorite(s).

Another medium format image using the Agfa Isolette iii.  In reading about the 6×6 or square format for photography, the approaches recommend playing to the symmetry of the square by using circles, equal areas, and centering of the central point of the image.  Didn’t do that here . . . maybe I should revisit this rather large plant?

It is a lot harder to focus – and stay focused – with this all-manual camera, too!  I should have focused on the center of the stems . . .
