New Old Film Challenge #148 - Parent & Child

[PeterSpencer]

Show us a a picture of parent and child, any gender or species indeed.

Last time I was looking for a theme I made some notes with a list of possible topics. Luckily I saved the list, not that I expected to be chosen again of course, well you never know. This is one of them. Other, spare, unused topics can be purchased on advantageous terms, PM for a personal quotation, anonymity guaranteed.

Usual Rules

• Must be taken by you
• Must be on film
• Must have been taken, developed and scanned prior to the start date
• Please include details of the camera, lens, emulsion and anything else of relevance if you can possibly remember that far back
• One entry per person

Entries close on the evening of Friday 26th. March, and voting will be for about 3 days after.

This thread is for photo entries only; discussion to be kept in the discussion thread here <-

Val and Nick, chez maison Kypros North Finchley, possibly 20 years ago. Yashica Electro GX and TRI-X, scanned using Minolta film scanner, duotoned in Photoshop.

I bought the Yashica GX to complement my Yashica Electro 35. Absolutely cracking camera, at one point I had two but they were in such good condition that I found myself avoiding using them in case something bad happened to them. In the end I sold them and bought something else. Slightly regret it now.

You'll get it if you like Star Wars. Plus some non-fictional parents and children in the background.

Friends in photo decided to have a medieval banquet for their silver wedding and asked me to photograph the costumes being worn as people arrived at the venue. Camera was my shiny/new-ish Nikon F80, Nikon 35-105, proper quality film (Portra?) sent to Peak Processing for one of their new-fangled (2003) scans to CD.

Melissa and Amelie, Nikon F100 and HP5.

So, a complete shoehorn, feel free to ban it (but it made me laugh, and we all need cheering up).

This scene shows an Applied Mathematics A level class from 1979. The teacher - in loco parentis (hence the shoehorn) - clearly saw the funny side of it.

I can't recall why the pupil decided to wrap his entire head in bandages; perhaps he had just watched The Invisible Man, or maybe he had sustained some minor injury on the rugby field.

Best if none of the individuals are named.



Canon AE-1 (probably), Ilford HP5 (before they made it better by adding the Plus), at who knows what ASA (as it was), developed in something for some time - ID-11?

 

[PeterSpencer]

Perfect shoehorn!
