A recent holiday in the Lake District took with me 2 Holga 120 6x6 cameras and a Holga 6x12 pano camera, a few from the trip all shot on Ilford HP5 developed in Adox XT-3.

Nice set Martin. I like the 6x6's best, particularly the last one. It's the composition that I find attractive and I like the recession in all of them.
 
That's a very 'clean' Holga, Martin, not too much softness, and lots of sharpness. Super set, I particularly love the second, with the fourth following close behind.
 
Thanks guys, I think after using both formats its great to have that choice, however, I find the square format easier to use in terms of visualisation,
 
I like these Martin. They show how much can be achieved without the ultimate in sharpness or dramatic contrast. I can see them being printed on a nice rag paper and taking pride of place on the wall.
 
I make no secret of landscapes generally leaving me non-plussed.

But these are something else - fantastic collection: tones , composition - it’s all there :)
