New old film challenge #176 - "Image for a Magazine/Book Cover"

[Cluster]

The next New Old Film Challenge (#176) is "image for a Magazine/book cover".

Something that I have wondered about for a while, we are guided to compose our images to cut out unnecessary "empty" space, but what about all those wonderful images that have a lot of space for the title, text etc that could be used in a cover. (Not images of existing covers).

As usual the following rules apply:

Must be taken by you
Must be on film
Must have been taken, developed and scanned prior to the start date of this challenge.

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 will close at midnight on Thursday 24th March and voting will be open for 3 days shortly after that.

Entries only here please, discussion thread is here

Taken at the 1991 Royal Tournament (a UK Military Tatoo at London's Earls Court no longer done). This was Royal Marines' Year and this shot made the front cover of the Globe and Lauerl which is the Royal Marines' Corps Magazine. I was up in the rafters of the building witha Bronica ETRSi during the weekend when they used to film the show for TV so the lights were a bit higher, HM the Queen was in the audience for this one and took the salute. Kodak VPL.

This taken in 1977 on Kodachrome using a Zenith E, Pentacon 200mm and a 2x teleconverter was used as the basis of a cover for a poetry magazine in Winter 2021

Book/brochure cover as it's square(?), but well suited to the malt whisky industry who like to be slightly different. Bronica SQ, Kodak Ektar, Filmdev, 2018.

Have I overstepped the brief?. Here is the cover for my latest book! Sorry, obviously there is a lot of of pretty amateurish post-processing involved here, but I promise the original photograph was taken on film.

The two 2021 FPOTYs tied again. @FishyFish shall we both throw a couple of ideas into a virtual hat and throw a d4 dice?

The New Old Film Challenge (#177) - "Workplace".Poll ended

The next New Old Film Challenge (#177) is "Workplace". A toss of a dice selected my choice of subject (So @FishyFish still has two in reserve). I spent almost all of my working life visiting other people's workplaces to watch them work and try and prevent them being made ill by their work. Saw...
