There are many people with many attempts at the rail tracks. This is excellent from the tonal range to the use of a square frame format and the placement of the rails in the image.
Beautiful set, Juliette! The feeling of infinite ending in the photo of the tracks, speaks to me. I have the little sister of Rolleiflex, a Rolleicord. A beautiful piece of machinery as well.
I like the images you've selected and the various interrelated themes they present. Could see several if not all of them in their sequential order working well as side by side diptychs or opposing pages in book form. I particularly enjoyed the juxtaposition of the woodsy gnome (or tuinkabouter as they say in Belgium, one of my favorite Dutch words) and the final Buddha statue. All roads indeed lead to freedom.
I love these, Juliette! Is this the dog from your brother? What a furry cutie! I especially like the photo, which looks like a selfie in a mirror or a double exposure. Excellent!
Thank you, Susanne! I’m so glad to know they spoke to you. Ironically, that dog looks very much like one of my brother’s dogs, but it is not! She kept us good company though. She’s the dog of the owner of the Airbnb. It’s such a friendly breed! Regarding the double exposure….At first I hated the way it came out because it wasn’t my intention, but then I came to like it. Thank you again for your feedback! It means a lot.
Really wonderful. I especially love the church and small cabins. Are they a CCC camp/labor houses or something like that? A good friend shoots that camera and I have come to understand that the experience is unique. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much, Ian! I appreciate your feedback. It means a lot.… Honestly, I have no idea what those buildings are. We were driving around or walking around in some cases and just stumbled upon them! It’s a bit of a remote area of North Carolina. I guess it has to remain a mystery!
Hi Darrin. I would rate it a 3.5 out of 5. It definitely gets the job done, but there’s some quality issues. As we all know, film curls so getting it into the film holders is always an issue, but the bigger issue is that the film holders are fragile. They have already broken into places. Additionally, there is that distance between the negative in the class that I mentioned in another comment. It doesn’t allow you to truly get a high quality scan as a camera might do. I’d like to try the camera route for scanning in the future, but I’m not sure yet. What’s your method of scanning?
At the moment, I am using a camera shop in Colorado Springs that has its own lab. They do a great job, but a roll of HP5 is $40 to buy, shoot, develop and scan. I am looking for my own scanning method.
Eventually, I will process my own film (easy enough to do), but I need a scanner.
Try out the camera method. (Seems you don’t lack for spare cameras, albeit most of what I have seen of yours are film cameras!) That’s going to be a cheaper and ultimately better method for quality control, I think. Let me know if you think about it, which way you go and how you do.
My main camera is a Canon 5D MKIII, and I would use my Zeiss 100 makro-planar lens, which would be perfect. I was liking the option of going straight from the scanner into the computer. I know that there are after-market film holders, that are reputed to hold the film more securely than the Epson holders. I'll look into the camera-as-scanner option though.
Scanning is the bane of film photography I think! These are wonderful, tonality is pleasing to my eye.
Your compassionate comment made my day, Paul. Thank you 🙏

I really appreciate that feedback, Barry! Made my day! Thanks :)

Thank you Luz!! That one of the track is one of my favorites too. I love that you own the sister and would like to see the images from that!
Looks really good! Tracks and the gnome are doing it for me - really nice!
Thank you Søren! I was lucky to find some unusual characters and the light was cooperative.
Wonderful set of images Juliette - just love that first one!
Thank you Lin. Yes, I led with my favorite!
Brilliant set of images, Juliette🤍🖤! For some reason, the 'Jesus saves' one is my favourite!
Thank you! I appreciate your feedback and yes, that’s one of my favorites as well.
Really fantastic work. Thanks for sharing :)

Thank you for the insightful comment! You’ve given me some food for thought… I really appreciate it!
Beautiful images. The train tracks and the old gas pump reminded me of the movie Stand By Me.
Thank you so much, Daniel! Believe it or not I have not seen that movie but it’s now on my list!
I might have to watch it again now that it's in my head. You'll love it.
Love the tree shadow and the double exposure photos Juliette.

Great photos, Juliette! I especially love the first two.
I’m so glad you appreciate them! Thank you for visiting!!
Great series of photos, Juliette. I especially like the first one.
Thank you so much Mark for having a look. I really appreciate it!!

Great photos! I am wondering about your V600, how would you rate it?

I would like to look into those after-market film holders. Maybe I’ll do that and let you know how it goes!
