Clearing out the loft, ready to move house in August, came across these old negs, FP3, home developed!.....

Digitised with K5 & 100mm D FA Macro & Pentax Auto Bellows M & film strip holder.

Converted to positive in Elements 11.


A view from, I think, The Monument in London.





DeHavilland Comet, from the observation balcony(!) at Heathrow.






Some latest models on the top deck of the car-park!






I think these are pre-1986, when I bought my Pentax MX, so would have been taken with my Exa IIb, a simpler Exacta Varex, otherwise known as "The Tank"!


Any ideas from anyone would be much appreciated!

I tried the Scotch aerosol stuff once, years ago.

Not successful, inasmuch as the "draught" from the aerosol carried glue over-spray under the print onto the face side....

Messy!

Inside a corner of the lychgate at a village Churchyard.







K5, 100mm D FA Macro.

C&C please.

Roger.

Is this still available, Dan?

Roger.

Thanks, Greg & Dave for the further comments.

This (final!) version re-cropped, eye detail lifted, de-noised with NeatImage.




Thanks again everyone for the interest shown & your continuing support!

Roger.

Thanks, all, for your honest, helpful comments & guidance.
Looking at it again (& again!), I know you're right.


Went back & started again.

Cropped.
Brightness dropped.
Auto sharpened.
All in Elements 11.






Any better........?


Roger.

Feel free, Nigel.........

Roger.

Call it a draw, then...........?





Roger.

Having done a little re-working of this image from that on The Gallery, I thought I'd pop it on here for a full & frank exchange of views / opinions / criticism, at which no offence will be taken.

Promise!
