A nice set. You captured the sparkle of the snow quite well in the first and I like the composition and light on the rock in the fourth.

The two bulbs of the five that are in focus are on opposite sides of the frame making it hard to know where you want me to look.

Really interesting. I can remember my dad had an Agfa 35mm camera when I was young - It's a name I haven't seen for a long time. Can you tell us more about these?

Hello Yaelle

I have photographed three cameras that were small for their time, just like our M4/3.

The Vest Pocket Autographic camera made by Kodak dates from about the First Worlds War. It used a miniature 127 film. It was marketed as the soldiers camera. 1,750,000 of these cameras were made. With a special pen one could lift a window and write notes on the photograph.

This Zeiss Icon Nettar was a half frame camera that took 120 film. It was made in the mid nineteen thirties.

The Agfa Karat dates from about 1938 and was made in Germany. It has special cassettes that take 35mm film. The film starts in one and then is passed into the second. It was quite a daring design for its time.

I bought these cameras long ago in Portabello Road when I lived in London.

I second that.
 
Yesterday I was messing in the yard. A rock was misplaced. I moved it and noticed a Peony trying to push its way up. Later I came back and photographed it.

I like the idea of the hidden beauty to found in our back yards. Nicely done
 
Really nice. I'd give it a little more room at the top, if that is possible.
 
I particularly like the first one, and find the composition fine. For me, and I repeat, for me the green leaves and yellow chair seem a bit over-saturated. But a wonderful photograph.

Nice set wormy! I especially like the second -- the tilt adds to the image immensely!
 
Nice series! I like how you have used a subject and found different compositions and styles of interpretation.
 
Dramatic sky! The processing is interesting and adds to the drama.
 
Thank you all for your feedback
