The camera in #3 looks like a Kershaw 8-20 Penguin, it must have slipped back in time as they appeared in the early '50s.
Nice set.
Nice set.

Nice work.
Question?
Have you tried post processing the images to re-create the look of photographic work/gear of the time?

Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

Yes Don, in No. 2. The crowds were so intense I got vignetting on the edges where people overlapped into the frame so I exagerated this and did a desat/sepia surround to the image. Nice work.

Thanks for your comments. HG: The couple with the vintage camera are both Fellows of the Royal Photographic Society getting into the spirit of things.

Great shots!! Lovin' the first shot in particular!!!
btw - Personally I find trying age modern photographs, even when it's a retro weekend, is cheesy. Don't like the sepia at all. I think the perfect gent would have been better regular B&W
Although in the 2nd shot the Corporal Jones on the left holding the rifle almost looks like a Banksy on the wall because of the sepia effect.

It was the 1940s Weekend at Pickering, North Yorkshire, this weekend. Just like the Goths at neighbouring Whitby in two weeks time, it was a photographer's paradise.
