February Photography Thread

[Vintage Paw]

I lost my Dad a little over 2 months ago and I'm in bits now

I love seeing him in the old photos we have stashed away, he was a brave man when he was younger and I wish I'd been able to spend more time with him like this instead of when he was lingering under the spectre of depression and alcoholism in the late 80's and 90's

I'm sorry for your loss

Photographs are a double-edged sword in this respect: on the one hand it's so important to remember the happy times, the good things, but on the other it's so painful to know your arms aren't long enough to reach back there and grab what used to be.

To carry on the cheer, some dead tulips:

Taken on a £3 car boot sale Petri SLR with a f1.8 55mm lens using Kodak B&W C41 film. Processed & scanned at Asda for £2.47 and then levels Gimped

I like that last picture. I hate the purple cast in all of them though. It reminds me of a print taken out of the developer and exposed to light without fixing, in the seconds before it disappears completely.

Seems to be an issue with B&W C-41 processing, some films come out slightly red others yellow. I should have converted them to grey scale in Gimp.

Digital made to look like film, the original colour image was rubbish!
