"Half Baked" challenge.....any takers?

[Asha]

Who's got access to a half frame camera?

Used it recently??....No??

Well how about a half frame / half baked ( over Christmas 'n New Year ) challenge?

I don't have a specific theme planned ( open to ideas if you guys want something specific to focus on ( excuse the punn!)........or perhaps just shoot whatever you want and post what you reckon would be a winner along with a pic of the negs just to prove it is half frame

If there's enough interest then perhaps start as of now and run it through until the end of January ( so those who are truly "half baked until mid Jan, have a chance!) and allows some leeway regards time etc with the other ongoing challenges.

If all else fails, I'll pretend that I never suggested this, say no more on the subject and return to my crate to hibernate :sleep:

I had been considering some 2x5 panoramas, that would be a half frame ish

Yes I have a half frame camera, they are fun to play with but the quality leaves a lot to be desired.

So let's have fun!

I've only ever used mine for "fun" use ....for example one has to have a sense of humour to "waste" film shooting other f&c togs like this one ( @RaglanSurf )

Half frame for me is like Peak doing a clip test

 

[Nod]

Maybe I could find a 645 (compared to a 6x9, half frame!)

 

[RaglanSurf]

So can it be a half frame of anything or does it have to be 35mm?

Whatever you want Nick.....tbh mine would probably be 127 format as two of the three half frame cameras that i have use that film.

Did you notice that half frame suits you quite well......it means you almost fill the frame like in that shot

I need a full circular image fisheye for selfies!

Maybe I could mask off half of my next 6x9 to shoot 3x4.5 then rotate the film back to expose the other half :0)
