Little Boy Big Shed by

This is a picture of my son taken about twenty years ago. He was I think two when this photo was taken.

Image was taken on a Pentacon 6 on Ilford HP5 film in Albany, Western Australia.

One thing I can recommend is taking good care of any negatives you have.

It took me about two hours to clone out all the dust and hair marks from this negative.

    Thanks for the tip Andrew. I will get back to you when I get around to working on my old negatives, some going back more than 30 years. I did not know you can get this good quality pictures from them digitally.

  • No worries Faul, I am still learning myself about how to scan negs.

    Like yourself I spent a lot of years away from photography. I restarted about fifteen months ago. Digital is the best thing that ever happened to photography.

    A lot of photos that I never got around to printing I can now develop digitally. Its just so much easier.

    congratulations, pure magic Andrew, a wonderful captivating image beautiful light, and what a story it has to tell? I’m not surprised it has wonderful memories, cheers, Jim.

  • Hi Jim I actually remember the lovely light in the place I took this image. Its funny how old places like this often have good light.

    The good memories were Neven and I used to go everywhere together and visit all sorts of places. It was probably the most enjoyable time of my life. I miss those times when the kids were young.

    Maybe I should become a Father again hahahha.

    All the best JIm

    Nice work, have you thought about re-washing your old negs and using a chamois to wipe them dry?

  • Thanks Reflexio Hhahaha now you told me its so bloody obvious rewash them to get rid of the stuff a simple wipe can’t get off hahhaha.

    This will stop me getting callouses on the mouse finger hahaa

    A wonderful and sweet image here. When I first glanced at the title, I read it as “Little Big Boy Shed”. made me smile. Anything can be a fort when you’re young.
    Cheers Andrew.

    Fabulous moody image!

  • Thanks Mindy and the feature is much appreciated.

    Its strange I remember taking this picture but because I did not print it other details are vague.

    Our memories are such strange things
