Hay, Man!

The hay in Southern Illinois is starting to be bailed and stored away. These particular fields were on some hills, so that's why there's a slope to the picture (not sloppy photography!) This being the first time I've used a Jiffy Kodak Series II, I'm seeing shading on both the left and right edges that extend out quite a way into the negative area. If you were to crop it out of the images, you would end up with a space the equivalent of a regular-sized 120 negative; 6cm. x 6cm. This camera is a 6cm. x 9cm., so what was the point? I think I really need to find a good, regular 120 camera of some sort.
