Day 6 - Pancakes, pinholes and unlocking the 6x17

The day began with coffee and pancakes in the tent porch, sheltering from the rain—a slow, cosy start while the weather did its thing. As the sky began to clear, I headed out early with the RealitySoSubtle 6x6 and the Mania 4x5 pinhole, determined to finish off the 6x6 roll. I needed that spare spool to finally load the 6x17, which had been waiting patiently in the bag all week.

I managed a shot with the Mania using the split panoramic feature. I’d hoped to get a second one, but the light faded fast and never came back, so I passed on the exposure. I did grab a few drone images, though—still trying to build a bit more footage before the trip’s over.

Later in the day, we set off on a family hike. With the 6x6 roll finally done, I was able to load up the RealitySoSubtle 6x17 at last. It felt good to finally put that format to use in these wide, open landscapes. I brought the Mania along too and managed a few frames with both cameras as we walked.

Photographed with the DJI neo, was easier than walking up the hill 😉

We finished the day back at the site with a cold pint—feet sore, film loaded, and ready for tomorrow.
