You don't even need to make separate files you can do alot with curves and the likes to get a pseudo HDR

Also #3 but #5 is also pretty nice, the lgihts fall on the crowd pretty well and since you have some shadows in the back you've some flow in it.
Your eyes go around the "house/well" and follow the light to that back, pretty need.

Yes of course but it really depends on what you want to shoot if it's worth to take a medium format. Many landscapre artists used 6x7 and those cameras aren't light or small either.
Even with a Pentax 67II you can do alot of types of shooting, even combined with a 800mm lens link

Film has some qualities that digital can never get but for most of it it's only relevant for special useses.
Here is a shootout between the Pentax 67II and a Canon 1DS, do bare in mind that the Canon is from 2002 and I believe we come pretty close with the APS-C sensors from today. link

ps. what do you think of the desgin of Pentax, that's also a pluspoint for me. Most midend camera's from other companies are good to hold but not the smaller ones, if you ever have hold a Canon 350D you know what I mean

I know every button and customized it to my likings, don't know if I know every function in the muneu though but I think so.

That looks just like a field on the other side of the pond, it's also so flat here.
You could crop a bit off from the sky so that the horizon is on the third rule line.

I like the dark framing around it, maybe you can crop a bit at the sides so that the road falls off of the image.

Somone else looking through the Nikon now.
The only thing I'm wondering is that why aren't they using the hood, it's on already so not much of an effort to turn that thing around right?

Could you ask for the shot they take, quite curious about that?

I don't know if you want to update to a K7 when it gets out but that one has other strap mounts by the look of it so maybe you get lucky and get what you wished for.

Well all the real super pro's use medium format and the Pentax 645D is on his why finally, the only question is how much it will cost.

Also the quality that you get with film 6x45 is probable worse then what you get with an digital APS-C sensor from today so what is good enough?

Nobody is the same Mike but it works for me.
When I had the neck strap on the camera I would wind it around my wrist and hold the camera in my hand but it doesn't really do anything, if I would let the camera fall, the strap wouldn't have saved it I think.

my wrist strap is a bit differend then that one though.
You see the strap around his wrist, that loops around my wrist on his own with a quick release on it, securing my hand inside the wriststrap.
Then another strap goes over the back of your hand and attach to the camera, that one is pretty lose.
If i let go of the camera my finger tips come at the front of the camera grip so your hand is free to move around the camera and isn't tightly strapped against it.

Also the most important thing of all is that the base that you screw under the camera, has a screw threat in the screw so to speak so the place you mount your tripod stays the same.

Will make some photos if someone is interested.
