Panoramic Photos With The Fuji GW690II
It’s fair to say that I haven’t been motivated to go out and shoot photos around Portland lately. To get out of my funk I decided to make a third attempt at running a roll of 35mm film through my Fuji GW690II medium format camera designed to shoot 120 film. Doing this will create a panoramic photo over the entire width of the negative so that when you scan your negative the sprocket holes will be part of the image which can create a unique and interesting aesthetic. You should choose your subject and compose your photo with that in mind.
First time shooting Kodak Ektar 100 with the GW690II

I have used 35mm film cameras in the past but wanted a bit of adventure so I picked up a used medium format Fuji GW690II from eBay and got to work.
