 I had an idea to use my new Instax Wide and Fuji X Half as inspiration for the entry.

I created some 1970's style images and printed them. This did not quite work as I pictured it.. I tried some compositions with a Table Top Photography Book Haight by Jim Marshall but the shots did not look clean enough to be advertisements. (although Instax often use table top scenes for scale)

102MP? $4900?! Dang. :-)

It's been added. GFX 100RF

So, you have the new Fujifilm X Half, eh? That looks like fun. I was looking at that the other day. Should be a fun camera to carry!

I've added it to our equipment database (Fujifilm X Half).

I like one of the side-by-side examples shown on the Fujifilm website. That could open some creative doors. One note though in case you use the side-by-side (2 in 1) feature ... that takes 2 shutter clicks to create so wouldn't be legit for the Standard ruleset.

I'm a little jealous. Have fun! :-)

Thanks for the comment. I was kicking myself a little when you posted this during voting. I agree with you. I took a fair few different versions of the 'scene' and this plain white was a last minute shot as I went to put everything away. In the end it felt clean enough to use but 100% I should have re-shot with better lighting (This was window light) and front to back focus (also improve the background (This was placed on top of the cats litterbox so sub-optimal for a product shoot :) )
