Nice, peaceful and convincingly old-fashioned. This could easily be presumed to be an image from 100 years ago. Beautiful and timeless. I admire your work with your special cameras, you inspire us to try things that are outside our comfort zones.

Gives a great impression of the vastness of that landscape. Very good image.

The classic look of the 30's and 40's. Begs for more foreground. Has the soft look so common in those days. I would overdevelop the film a bit to improve the snap.
Love the Hassel in the avatar. Long live 2 1/4 square!
Thanks for the look and comments everyone. These old snapshooters deserve an outing every once in awhile.

Thanks for the comments abc.
When I masked the Holiday's film guide I reduced the width to fit but left the length so wound up with a pano format of 3/4" x2 1/2" negative size. Foreground is only the rest of the carrigana bushes and a fence so I aimed to favour the sky.
All Brownies are soft, This one a bit too much for my liking.
As for the processing, the holiday is fixed at f8 and what looks like 1/50 sec. It was a fairly bright day so I shot through a Y2 and pulled the FP4 1 stop as well in development still leaving about 1 1/2 stops over but FP4 has lots of latitude. I'm going to rescan this at a higher resolution and play around with different edits to try and get better sky.
Yes, I enjoy the 500C. Other good 6x6 is a Roelli 3.5 F that shares the shelf, equally fun to drive but my soft spot is for my bleary eyed old cheapies.
