A life long forgotten

I think I'd like number 3, but the windows cut off put me off.
Pentax K10d, *istDL, Kit lens ( 18-55mm ), 50mm f1.7 lens, Tamron 70-300mm lens, Prinzflex 70-162 manual lens, Various old flashes.
The bicycle would be my favourite- the most successful in selective DOF but I like the workbench too.
The portraits look a mite soft? maybe just flattering!
These were taken at the Brum back to backs in Hurst St. They are NT property, but similar ones can be found at the Black Country museum,certainly worth a trip to the later as there are always people in period costume, who are happy to pose. I intend to revisit as all my pics from there are with non Pentax cameras!
Yes the portraits are a bit soft, shot at higher iso and tried to grain them, to give a bit of atmosphere { aided by me missing focus probably}

Ahh right- I didnt know about the NT houses- I will go and visit in the near future. The NT seem to have a bit of a random policy on photos inside their properties. I visited the Lennon and McCartney houses in Liverpool but photography is not allowed and this is the case in many of their grander properties.
They operate a timed and booked visit system, so call first. Re photography, I always ask, and was told that pics in the courtyard were ok, but not inside. Once inside I was told that it would be ok and a blind eye applied. The reasoning was stated as pics might show valuable items, but they didn't consider that there were any in the back to backs.
Yet on a recent visit to Upton house, I was allowed to openly photograph priceless objects.

I particularly like number 5 (The bike saddle).

Thanks, I looked at the original but not much more window before I cropped... a lower position might have worked...or wider lens, but only took the 28 with me.

Number 6 appeals as well, another good application of DOF and focus. Very good set
Gear Not enough!!

I really like Number 5, very good DOF use, I would like to see a mono conversion, would add to the atmosphere IMO

Thank you, here is a quick conversion in iPhoto.
and the uncropped one for Father Ted

I'm sure Hardgravity will have a multitude of pics
Our first house was a back to back in Bradford, and yes we still had an outside toilet though it didn't take us long to get the place modernised and have one inside
