I almost forgot!

A few days ago Glenn and Anne McCreath popped down to the house - Glenn had a very old Kodak film with a few exposures left in a much older Bellows Camera, and he thought it might be good to capture something really 'period' with all of the old gear. Anne brought down a dress that really fitted the mood and to work they went. 
Once back home Glenn developed the old film and I have been fortunate enough to see the proof.............making it quite clear to them both that I want to buy a print to hang in the house once we move in.
I happened to have my little Nikon D5100 handy and quickly snapped a few shots of the lovely Mrs. McCreath in her Victorian/Edwardian dress, and spent a little while playing with the pics in Lightroom.
This one (not great compared to what Glenn did), captures a little bit of the Spirit of Place as it might have been 100 years ago, but I urge Glenn to publish his image somewhere .......... as a valid "old" film and camera archive image it is truly remarkable.
Thanks so much for your enthusiasm guys ......... it is really something in very short supply these days.
