New Old Film Challenge #25 Show Us Your Best "blue" Shots (Entries - poll added)

[Chrisphoter]

That's "blue" in any sense except pornographic , just in case you were doing a double take...

A shot from your archives please - let's see what you've got.

As usual it must be an old shot, not shot for this challenge. It must have been shot by you. It must have been shot on film.

Closing date for entries will be Wednesday 2nd December and voting will close 3 days after that.

Well my grandson looks like he has got the blues, mind you I've seen that look when they are doing something in their nappy :-

Easily the bluest shot I have. London Eye, Ektar I think, SQ-A.

Blue Sky and blue water... I think (I hate being colour-blind)

This is extremely weird - I posted a picture and it's gone! Oh well - take two: a poor scan but it does show the blues Kodachrome 25 was capable of. Zorki 4 with 50mm Jupiter lens, 1975.

I was asked to do the photography for friends at their silver wedding which was to be a mediaeval banquet thingy. It was 2003 and I felt I couldn't risk my new-fangled Fuji S2 dslr, so I used my Nikon F80 and good old film instead. The guy is my friend from primary school days who died very suddenly just about this time last year, so it seems like an appropriate shot.

Taken in 1976 near Robe, far south of South Australia, half way to Melbourne. Unknown transparency film (possibly Fuji), Pentax Electro Spotmatic, 55m Takumar lens...

[Cannyekerslike]

Thank you, I will give it my best attention and come up with something in the next 24 to 48 hours.
Understand there is a list of previous themes if some kind soul would point me to it I would be grateful.

Cheers....

Congrats Andrew

"Understand there is a list of previous themes if some kind soul would point me to it I would be grateful"

I asked that - there's a link in the previous but one challenge thread (cityscapes?), or its discussion thread.

 

[ChrisR]

See the sticky on Film & Conventional Challenges....

 

[SlimShaney]
