Stunning!!Its been awhile since I've ventured out, up at 3:30 am, had a location in mind, the inversion was a bonus.

I find this type of specific project fascinating. Here in the States and I'm sure elsewhere, there are books entitled "Then and Now", or some similarly themed title. Side by side are a pair of photographs, one taken decades ago and another taken recently from the same spot, showing the development, changes and/or progress made at that location or simply depicts how time has marched on. It often opens the doors to simple questions, like are the external red bricks of the building in your image, simply covered up with present day wood (and why?), or have the original red bricks for some reason removed and replaced by the wood?CARTE POSTALE REVISITED # 3 Fresnoy-FolnyDoing a little project for our village here in France. Collecting old postcards is a big hobby over here.
I am now photographing the same scenes as the old postcard photographers did in the old days.
Finding the exact point of view and give it that unreal postcard look.

I have no direct experience with the 50 Mp CMOS backs. I'm still loving the IQ160, however...So...Am I the only one who's not loving the 50mp CMOS backs/cameras? Ive been really underwhelmed after playing with them and looking at files. If it wasn't for firewire at the end of its lifespan, Id continue to rock these older P backs. Tempted by the IQ160..the LCD upgrade is definitely welcomed.
Hi Dave, A friend of mine from the village came to me with a bunch of photo copys of old postcards to photograph them again. I hope to scan the originals as well soon.I find this type of specific project fascinating.

Definitely sounds like a fun project to work on, especially when a bit of the history is known about the evolving changes depicted.

Yes I have done this trip a few times and left with nothing. The only trouble with shooting in the spring/summer is getting up at daft o clock. All the elements I wished for came together. The inversion grew from a fairly small patch to covering the entire valley within an hour, amazing to watchI Think that ome is amazomg. Seems getting up early was worth it!
