Hi all, last week I was bored for the bad weather, so i took my Kiev II, the Jupiter-8 and the Jupiter-12, and went to do some black and white (Kodak bw400cn) photos to an old little village, destroyed by an earthquake a lot of years ago
... Enjoy!

Some good shots there, I especially like the one with the old shoes at the door.

What a treasure trove of images! I'm not one to make favorites, but my personal preference is towards #6: inviting along an entire side, yet dark in the other three corners.

Where's the place? Liguria?

You've managed to convey a great sense of timelessness. Good combination of texture and tone.

Really nice shots. Hard to pick a favorite. I did enjoy #1 and #2 the most I think. But all are enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.

Great shots, KB400CN scans pretty well. What dpi were they at and what scanner. My favorite was the last shot, great angle. Cheers!

I love places like that for photography! Go back there with a nude model.

Great photos. They work well as a set.

This is what a village with its people having all been kidnapped by aliens would look like as well... 
Kidding aside, I like them very much. The last one is my favorite so far.
Could you refine the PP a little bit, and re-post it ? The actual compression leaves big pixels behind.
Yet another proof that "bad" weather and black and white photographies are good friends...

I did the scan at 3200 dpi with the Canon 8400 of a friend, then the postprocessed it with Photoshop CS2 (levels, light/contrast and cleaning) and iPhoto (light points and shadows), and finally resized the image for the web

I hope "terrific" means "good", and not "scary" !!

Depends on how many flying saucers coming from Andromed's galaxy have landed at Balestrino International Airport, seeking a Kiev II desperately.

I saw one, but was from Alfa-Centauri, they were searching for a man called "Ruben"...
