Very nice, my favorite is the last image. Your horizon is so straight and placed perfect in the frame. Is it weird shooting a 645 sideways?

Same here. I am actually not a big fan of the two others to be honest, but I had already posted the third one (which I am very happy with) a few months ago, so I was desperate to find some fresh beach material for the contest.

Shooting a 6x4.5 sideways to get an horizontal orientation is not weirder than shooting sideways on any other camera to get a vertical. I guess you get used to it very quickly.That being said I would probably not recommend it if you shot mainly horizontals. I find it hard to focus especially, especially since the patch on my GS645S is really small and dim, so unless I am zone-focusing, I typically have to focus vertically then recompose horizontally.

I like them all! what a great feeling! well done!

Thanks, I am glad you like them all !!

That's fascinating to me. How long have you been shooting medium format?

I'm still very new to this, which might explain my enthusiasm! I bought my GS645S about a year ago, and my Yashica Mat about 6 months ago I guess.
