Half-frame diptych. I actually don't plan to do many diptychs/triptychs with my half-frame camera but this one was interesting because it looks like one image...the dark areas flow into each other, which gives me ideas for future diptychs. Canon Demi EE17, Foma Ortho 400

Lovely cat, and great shot @belmonteje@ !
Can I ask what camera and what film that is?
Sure! The portrait of my cat is on a Hasselblad 2003FCW with the Hasselblad 110mm f2 Planar. The lower reflection shot is a Hasselblad XPAN on it's 45/4. Both are shot on Kodak Gold 200.

..very nice!
Would have definitely believed that's one image if you hadn't said it's two half frames.
Neat idea for a series, curious to see some more 🙂
I've decided to dig out the tripod and use it in combination with the Yashica D. After a less than successful start, the first roll slipped out of the take up spool and I couldn't figure out why the shutter kept firing as soon as it as cocked until I realized the cable release was locked in the down position, things got a bit better. Since the cataract surgery, my close distance vision isn't as close as I was hoping for and I often need extra light to see small numbers, like shutter speeds and f stops. I kept carrying the camera/tripod combination around looking for a patch of sunlight to make adjustments. I now have a small flashlight added to my Yashica kit. I found it was easier to use the focusing magnifier without my glasses and am looking forward to getting more practice.

A lot of my favorite half frame diptychs are unplanned. I do like to do two frame 'Pen'-o-ramas when I find a good subject for it, I need to try some with the 645 folder I get recently. I hardly ever stretch to triptychs or 3 image panos.
