Dad Shot With Blad

I tried something a bit different with dad over the last few weeks. I shot a film of 120 in a blad body with a wide angle 55mm lens. I used the blad with a monopod because I was shooting in lower light at slower shutter speeds 1/30 to 1/60 at F4 (widest aperture) with Tri-x rated at 200. Yesterday when I had Kelly in for her workshop she developed this film for me as part of the darkroom class.

The shots I made at 1/15 were blurred so 1/30th seems the lower end shutter speed I can use with this setup and still maintain sharp exposures, the monopod does not seem to be helping much, probably not worth using.

Use this photo in the "Life on the Margins" exhibition?
