Medium Format and the Mamiya RB67
So, you’ve been bitten by the grain bug and you caught the film photography disease. Congratulations, and my condolences. At some point 35mm, as ubiquitous and fun as it is, may not be enough anymore. You may start to crave the extra detail, sharpness, and razor thin depth of field that only medium format can provide.
Photography Part 1: Green Lakes State Park
Green Lakes State Park is a beautiful spot located in Fayetteville NY. It's home to two incredible lakes formed by melt water from ancient glaciers. Due to the surrounding hillsides the light from the sun hits the lakes at such and angle to make the water appear a translucent green color, which is what gives the park its name. I spent my third and fourth rolls of film on a day trip here with my buddy Dan.
Photography Series Pt. 0
This is the start of a series where I learn the ins and outs of film photography. By no means do I consider myself a photographer, nor do I claim to be any good at anything I show here. That being said it seems like it’s going to be an interesting journey, so I’d like to take you along for the ride.
