Some more glass plates. Look at the dress on the group and the boxes are interesting.

I’ve been sorting through a few glass plates I’ve been given some really interesting images. I’ll post a few over the next few days there’s about 50 +. Mainly the Oxford area.

I have been taking Polaroids of my garden and the views from it and divided them into seasons - an ongoing project that started a few years ago and here are a few from Winter on the Pennines.
A Polaroid picture of a view of a tree in the winter setting sun. The colours are a mix of pinks, browns and blacks - the tree is in the middle of the picture with the sun behind it. A Polaroid picture of a snow scene - there are trees and sheep as well as a traditional northern stone wall. A Polaroid picture of a snow scene - there is a snow dusted hill in the background with a woodland below. Cutting across the picture is a fence. The colours in this picture are white, black and blue. Another Polaroid of the setting sun in a winter scene - the sky is blue, purple and pink and the sun is just behind the tree - the land is snow covered.

A few Polaroids from my garden - this time taken in the Autumn season. The Alt text explains the images.
A colour Polaroid image of a landscape - the scene is of a fell with the sun over it - there is mist laying to the bottom with trees - the colours combine greens, yellows and blues. A colour Polaroid image of a horse in a field - the horse is dark bay and grazing - he is in shadow but the light falls into the distance - the sky is moody and evocative. The colours are mainly light and dark green with yellow and blues and greys. A colour Polaroid of a landscape covered in fog - the landscape is barely distinguishable but is shaped by colours - dark green to the bottom that drifts into yellows. reds and greens. A colour Polaroid image of sunflowers against a overcast sky and a tree enters the top right hand side. The day is full of heavy rain showers and the sunflowers catch the intermittent sunlight.

A interesting project started. Restoring a 5x4 Gowland TLR. Just started on the shutter a Syncro Compor no 1 shutter. Not done one of these for a while.

I have to work out how to post here. This is an image taken in the Roches, Staffs in the 90’s. Fuji 645. One of my selling regrets.
