I recently copied (photographed to digital) some ancient slides of my Dad's. Amongst his collection were some old NASA slides (Gemini/Mercury era) - If I photographed those, they'd fit your title nicely... - But I guess that's cheating.

I would suppose so. But I'd like to see the photos anyway.

I believe the originals are now freely in the public domain so here's a couple:

http://flic.kr/p/94brRY

Both have distinct colour casts from the old slides, which I've only partially removed in PP.
As they're not really my own work I'll be removing them from flickr in a week or so, & to err on the side of caution I think it best to only post links.

Just a quick hello to go with my first competition entry. Going to try to take part regularly as motivation to get out taking pictures.

Appreciate that my entry isn't up to the standards usually seen here but was out on a walk and the competition subject popped into my head. Limited time to think with a pregnant wife to get home...
