these three did not catch my eye the first several times i looked at them. what do you think, especially the first one, whose focus is on one tiny spot - that little island in the middle of the creek. all bw400cn, rokkor 45/2.8 (what else? it's a fixed lens), walgreens processing and scanning:
i just did not notice all the detail in this one before:
on this one, i wish i had focused on the foreground, not the tin roof:

Good shots. The slight tone seems to suit these. Were there applied or did you scan in colour?

walgreens drug store does my processing and scanning. it has fuji processing and scanning equipment. so if there is a bluish tone, either the film does that with ice or it's the walgreens machinery.
thanks for the compliment.

Atmospheric shots - the first especially seems vintage.
Which brings to mind - and this is not a complaint about your images, just an observation from my own photography and that of others... wellll,, ok these ones too  - the difficulty of holding holistic clarity in a busy photo with small formats. In my experience, I have to have the 35mm camera (or digital) on a tripod, with a cable release, to have a shot at keeping the detail from becoming... busy, unsettling, too harsh. With medium format, and those who are fortunate to have a real (big) camera, it is this sort of detail that tends to not get so busy, unsettling, harsh. It is an interesting thing to me.
A long way of saying: I bet #3 would have been better if you were lugging a nice 6x7 or 6x9 120 cam

nooooooooooo, no larger format! noooooooooooooooo, do not tempt me!
but i think i will start using a tripod for such shots, so i can use much longer shutter speeds, and much smaller apertures on early morning and late evening shots.
must ... keep ... things ... simple ...

Oh, but a nice TLR, maybe with a close-up lens, for those mini landscapes, or a good Bessa 6x9 for the majesty... Really, your style of photography deserves proper tools... maybe a modern 645... or check out Bill's Koni Omegas, there's a proper tool to use... The best thing about these is 8 - 10 - 12 - 16 shots and you're out of film, you get to develop it right quick, mmm... and scanning's easy, you only have to fight the dust...
 OK I'll behave. You have a bessa R coming. Really, I'm jealous
