On Golden Pond

On Golden Pond

I would like to dedicate this photo to ALL of you who are going through some form of trauma, hardship, pain or hurting in your lives at the moment. No matter what it is all will become good again soon. Trust in the process.

This shot was taken on my Canon AE1 35mm camera about 35 years ago. I have always loved this photograph but the original shot has faded over the years so I have just scanned into the computer and then tweaked in Photoshop Elements 5. It almost has the feel of a painting to it, what do you think?

And as to where it was taken, well I can’t remember, sorry, but I believe somewhere this side of London maybe in Hertfordshire?

Sorry I don’t have any new photos for you yet that’s why I am going through the old shots again.

    On Golden Pond is right! This is absolutely breathtaking! And to think this image came from a 25 year old negative! It just goes to show you how important it was/is to store our old negatives properly ;-). I love the effect you achieved via PhotoShop, too; Very nice work!!

  • Anthony Hedger replied

    Hey Judith, thank you so much for taking the time to view and comment on my work. I am glad that you like “On Golden Pond” I shall have to try to find where it is and shoot a new photo to see if it has changed.

  • Anthony Hedger replied

    I guess you had other things on your mind my dear, other things more important and a lot more pressing. However, I think as a punishment you have to go right through my portfolio for another look, how say you? And don’t forget the writing. LOL

    Tony, firstly I love this shot and the title. I don’t care that you took it 35 years ago. That shows that you had an eye for photography, even then. Secondly, love the old scanned, painting feel to it. It is part of the appeal. Thirdly, you say in your profile that you couldn’t afford another camera on a 6 year old’s salary – you must have been sent out to work very young lol…Fourthly, many thanks for quoting me. That’s it.

  • Anthony Hedger replied

    Hi Elana,
    That was lovely of you to drop on by to see little old me and thank you for such a wonderful comment on my shot that was very kind of you. And as for the quote – well you said it first and it’s a great one to go by. So you haven’t been on here long eh? Well I had a sneaky peak at your work and what can I say – WOW! amazing and wonderful photos. I’ll come back again when I have a little more time on my hands if you don’t mind and I am so looking forward to that.
