Greg Miller should only present his work in person with framed prints at least 1m wide. Send him an email so he can drive over to your house to display his work.

are you limited by your current gear and have a specific need to move to medium format or do you just think it will magically make your photos better?

Yes to the limited but not in the way you are asking, and no. Why so hostile? I just like it. Are you limited by not shooting MF/LF Does it magically make your photos better?

I don't understand the question, I shoot mf, 35mm, dslr and with my phone.

Well then why ask it of me except to be a dick.

Because medium format film is not the answer you seek. Or do whatever you want, it's your time and money so go nuts.

unhelpful vitriolic bullshit.

Why are you so thin skinned? If you ask a question then get a different answer from the one you were expecting that doesn't mean the person is attacking you.

The motion blur on the flags is super distracting. I'd have been tempted to clone them out.

Distracting from what?

Your colours are fairly off. Seems to be lots of red/purple

Thanks, I don't actually remembered how I metered for it but it's portra 400 so I was probably standing in that open shade and held my incident meter out in front of me.

If you can't look at a scene and have some conceptual idea of what aperture you might like to shoot that scene at, maybe you aren't ready to shoot medium format yet. Full disclosure: it's a buck a frame, developed cost.

Also, if a half stop either way on the aperture would kill your ~creative control~, and you are unable to adapt to this with your technical expertise on how to work a camera: you need a shutter priority camera, and also to not be shooting medium format yet.

The P67 is not any more complex than a K1000. That's the 35mm comparison: it's a big K1000 that shoots 6x7 negatives, and that's a camera that literally every photo student has shot for the last 40 years. But not everyone is cracked up to shoot a K1000, even as simple as that is. Some people need program modes to do everything for them. But you're not going to fool anyone in this thread by pretending a K1000 is some complex monster. It's got a meter built in, that makes it easier than 95% of the medium format cameras on the market.

(double extra pro-tip: learn sunny-16 and you can predict the exposures you're going to take even without picking up a meter, and then you have a free second to tweak the shutter speed dial, because it's literally just "that's a shady area under a tree", "that's a beach", etc)

Again, I don't want to encourage anyone to not do medium format, it's easy, literally as easy as 35mm, that's the point here. Go ahead and buy The Big K1000 (tm), or a TLR, or whatever. "It's Easy Enough Your Conservative Dad Figured It Out 50 Years Ago". And he didn't even have the Internet to help.

You come across as a massive oval office to be honest.

pro tip: post some photos before you start being condescending to others
