I had some film that needed to be used before expiration (Polaroid film is extremely expensive for the amount of exposures you get). I took some shots around Duke University. When I first moved to Durham back in 2021, I lived in Durham. My apartment was in walking distance of Duke University. Now that I live in Greensboro, I don't go out to Durham much anymore.
Duke Chapel taken from the main roundabout. Older Polaroid cameras aren't the best when it comes to taking distance shots. It's also hard to see the Chapel due to how bright the sun was.
A closer shot of the chapel as I drew closer. It's still difficult to see due to the color of the chapel and how bright it was that day. Adjusting the brightness to get the best shot is always a challenge.
The chapel taken from the "main" courtyard of the campus.
Adjacent to the campus is the Sarah P Duke Gardens. Sarah was the widow of one of Duke's founders, Benjamin N. Duke. This shot was taken near one of the various entrances.
The Terrace Gardens and Cindy Brodhead Pergola (in the way distance)

Roney Fountain in the Mary Duke Biddle Rose Garden. This area of the gardens is my favorite location.

The Meyer Bridge in the Culberson Asiatic Arboretum. It would have been an immaculate shot if it weren't for the four light streaks in the photo.
One of the entrances into the Arboretum. In the distance is the tea house.

A Tetsu Bachi.
Day-Lilies I saw in someone's front yard in Chapel Hill. The film doesn't do the flowers' colors justice.
The lilies taken with my iPhone. The deep red lilies are my favorite. Fun fact: Daylilies are not real lilies. They belong to a different genus.
