I think the main problem with these (leaving the lack of mirrors aside) is the need for transparencies. You can't readily get the film now. ....... Can you?

I recall some sort of problem doing that too. It has something to do with a need for TWO sizes of image. One is for the top right, where you log in/out etc. and a smaller one to appear on the left, against your postings. Short of re-doing them that's all I remember.

And welcome to the forum! I'm a relatively new member but I'm very happy with what I have found here.

The Cotswold one and the goth silhouette are particularly nice (to my eye).

I tried to post these when the server crashed the first time and was most surprised to find they had vanished. It was that day of freezing fog so I stayed in with an SMC 'A' 50mm macro and made some portraits. They are presented in date order so that no lady should be offended .....



Saint Jagwiga was the very first Polish Queen and was crowned King (Yes !) in 1384 at the age of 10. She married at age 12 and founded a dynasty. She has been revered by Polish people through the centuries for her piety, charity and generosity and was beatified in 1986 to become the patron saint of Queens.
This is a gorgeous art deco 5 zloti coin from 1933 with radiating wheat ears making a lovely halo.




All older British people will know this portrait by Mary Gillick, made (I think in 1953) when the Queen was just 25 years old. The likeness to her father is striking. This is a 1967 halfpenny.




This mint 500 lire Italian coin is from 1966. The first was produced in 1957 and, since there were but 1024 of them, they are worth a fortune. Mass production began in 1958. They are known as Caravels due to Columbus' three ships appearing on the other side but this lovely portrait is of Letizia Savonitto, the wife of the master sculptor of the Italian mint, Pietro Giampaoli. He produced it as a gift to her for their 10th wedding anniversary (That could only happen in Italy!).

The descriptions are hardly 'photography' but coins are real perishers to photograph and ladies can be even more difficult - to photograph, that is !!

I too put a set of photos on at around 2am (my first) and was surprised to find no trace of them.

I'll go for #10. It almost unveils it all but retains an edge of mystery. #11 has given most of it away.
Looks like you didn't get cold for nothing.

The third one with that file of railing tops is very nice

It certainly is.

I need to burst out of the close-up box. My landscape is hopeless - not surprising 'cos I rarely ever do any!

Curious one that. The lighthouse appears to be quite vertical, so that suggests lens distortion BUT there is a low-lying something or other in the sea right up against the horizon which visually pulls it down slightly.
I'm going to say 'not guilty' as regards an actual slope.
