Miniature gladioli, apparently.

I like this, especially the shadow but it is a shame that RH bloom is not in focus.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, I agree...too late now!

I just hope you do not give such a boquette to your wife. Apart from that, it's a fine image in the natural colours of black and white

 

[Rob MacKillop]

She'd be so lucky!

Am I right in thinking close-up shots with a TLR are quite hard, given the fact your not looking through the "shooting lens" as it were...???

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Parallax is the problem I believe. With the Mamiya TLR a black line descends from the top of the viewing screen, showing where the upper part of your picture will be. So it's still possible to frame the shot.

That's the word...couldn't quite find it my foggy brain...the same issue when I used to use my Kodak Retinette...

And you can also use the Paramender.
