A few from the 1st roll out of the Rollei

[Gary R. Smith]

I'm pretty happy with these although I'm not sure why I only got 11 shots. The scans that I received from the lab have had the curves adjusted to givem me what I like to see in b&w.

A few more...

 

[Pete Askew]

Well, there’s nothing wrong there. Sharp and clean and the exposures seem pretty good.

I especially like the shot of the cottage.

 

[Gary R. Smith]

Thanks Pete! I like the moose in front of the barber shop. I was just happy to see good exposures and focus!

A good set of photo. My favourite is the first one, with the reflection on the top of the barrels.

 

[Gary R. Smith]

Thanks Gianluca. The barrels seem to call to me whenever I am on that property with a camera.

 

[Beth Anthony]

i'm pretty happy with these, too. i love the moose in front of the barbershop.

 

[Tony Warren]

You will be happy with the performance Gary to judge by these results. I like the barber shop image too. That moose is quite something.

 

[Gary R. Smith]

That moose is quite something.

There is a local sculpture in Troutdale. I'm not sure if he's responsible for the various pieces found "in the wild" in Troutdale (there are several). He used to have a huge bronze elk on the rook of the gallery but as of this week it's gone (I'm assuming sold).

Very nice set, Gary. My fave is probably the cottage, though the moose takes a close second!
Btw I hoping to take my old (slightly shabby looking) Yashicamat EM away with me on holiday soon. I'm just running a quick roll through it to check all is ok before we go.

 

[Gary R. Smith]

My fave is probably the cottage,

There are a pair of brothers in the area who buy up old properties and turn them into hotels/bars. This property used to be the "poor farm" and the "cottage" is called The Red Shed and it is actually a bar used to service outdoor events (no real room inside for anything other than the bar tender. In the first set of images, the barrels, the building shown just above the "cottage" and the cottage are all on the property which comprises 74 acres.

Crisp and sharp render Gary, glad to see the Rollei is out and about with you on travels. That moose and the closed sign shack are my faves of the shots.

Any plans for the next outing? I’d encourage shooting some choice scenes wide open- fantastic separation is possible with these.

 

[Gary R. Smith]

Thanks Wes, I was just trying to burn a roll to see where the shutter, aperture and focus were going to end up.

They ended up where they were supposed to.

The Rollei is very comfortable in the hand.

 

[Gary R. Smith]

Here's the moose and the barber shop on a different day with different film.

 

[Pete Askew]

Nicely rendered, and I prefer this to the B&W shot. The colours help differentiate the ‘statues’ from the background better and you’ve caught ‘his’ eye nicely too.

 

[Pete Askew]

Mind, the two figures in the window seem to have seen you coming and have turned their backs!

 

[Gary R. Smith]

...and I prefer this to the B&W shot.

I think I like the B&W version more.

I'm hoping I get some sun over the next few days so that the Lomo Turquoise shots turn out.
