Wanted. Your old unwanted B&W Negs.

Post by Ancient Wanderer » Thu Nov 09, 2023 4:14 pm

It is no big deal but I am now living on borrowed time.
I am virtually housebound so my photo. days are over.
To help me keep active , along side working on my very extensive slide/digital library, I am starting a project with B&W .
I am asking for donations of any redundant B &W Aircraft negs., older the better! you may no longer have use for.
I have a set up of photographing them with a quality DSR using a copy stand and light pad, to very good effect.

I am happy to pay postage etc and return any Negs if asked for.
With thanks for any response to my request.

I've got a few dating back to the 1970s which I've already scanned into my computer. I'll see if I can dig them out for you. Would you want aircraft related ones - airfield fire tenders?

If you are planning to scan them in I could just email you the images which you could save directly to your computer. save you a bit of time and effort - and be quicker as I know where they are on my computer as opposed to going through a box of a mountain of negs! But you're welcome to the negs.

Hi Ian.
I would prefer the actual negs.
I photograph them on a light pad with a quality Digital Nikon.
Then work on them in Photoshop, this to me is where I find it helps me in the challenge to produce a good result.
If your happy to let me have all you have scanned it would be most appreciated, more the merrier.
As I noted, I am more than pleased to reimburse any postage costs.
Hope this works for you.
Terry
