I shot a portrait recently using an M6 and a tripod. I shot 4 rolls
during the session and I used 400 speed film handheld and 100 speed film
on the tripod. Using the tripod also let me take my head away from behind
the camera to make eye contact.

Out of all the shots I took one of the 100 speed shots was chosen.

Maybe it was blind luck, but I was thankful to have that extra variation
in my approach that day.

There's nothing wrong with putting an M6 on a tripod.
