gwpics Posted April 22, 2018 Share #1 Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I have just rediscovered a couple of rolls of HP5+ which I shot in 1998, developed and filed away. They are of a trip to London I took on our wedding anniversary, but have never printed. As far as I can remember/guess they were taken with a Leica M3 and 50mm Summicron f2 but I have no idea what I processed them in. I have now scanned them, and they are mainly of Pearly Kings and Queens arriving for the traditional Harvest Festival service at the church of St. Martins-in-the-Fields which is on trafalgar Square, London. Here is just 4 as a taster (the first one also shows a Chelsea Pensioner) Gerry Welcome, dear visitor!

erl Posted April 23, 2018 Share #6 Posted April 23, 2018 Great series. What a delight to to 're-live' some of your old pics. # 1 is definitely the pic of the bunch because of the engagement between the two subjects. I am currently delving into my own past, consisting of at least 23,000 rolls of film. Where to start? I know I will never finish. I'm just 'cherry picking' at random. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwpics Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share #7 Posted April 23, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Great series. What a delight to to 're-live' some of your old pics. # 1 is definitely the pic of the bunch because of the engagement between the two subjects. I am currently delving into my own past, consisting of at least 23,000 rolls of film. Where to start? I know I will never finish. I'm just 'cherry picking' at random. Firstly, thanks for your very kind comments. I think the only advice I can give is to make sure you do whole sheets, edit and then scan as if you were never going back to them. After that I am finding that one thing leads to another (e.g. I scanned some Paris images and that then inspired me to look for other Paris images with the idea of maybe a book although I doubt that will ever come to fruition). The 'Pearly' series are particularly poignant for me as I realised they were taken on my wedding anniversary which bought back many memories of my wife who passed away 4 years ago. Good luck - and then of course there are the transparencies! Gerry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OR120 Posted April 23, 2018 Share #8 Posted April 23, 2018 Very nice set. I like the reactions in the background of #2 and #3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted April 23, 2018 Share #9 Posted April 23, 2018 What a delight it is to find such remarkably beautiful images of correct exposure and tack-sharp focus on here today. I can only wonder: is there anyplace in the world today that such innocent and charming play-acting still goes on? It seems to be long-gone from America . . . sadly. Please share more of your abundant talent with us in the future, Gerry. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
