Cool car photo Tony. Based on the lights mounted on a pedestal on the bottom (versus side mounted) that would be a 1935. (Possibly 1934...but don't think so.) The 1936-38 lights were side mounted and the '39s different again. The grill on your car matches a 1935. Fun stuff. Sorry...just saw Bill's comment. '35 it is. |

Thanks, Clive. I usually start with a preset in SilverEfex and then adjust but your results are prompting me to experiment a bit more.

An abandoned Leica IIIc.
The Leica IIIC was both produced during and after the second World War. Based on the serial number, this camera was pre 1948, but probably post war. My uncle Chuck, another uncle and my father were in the Canadian Army in WWII in the UK and on the continent. Chuck married a German lady after the war and they lived in Germany for a while before moving back to Canada. He purchased this Leica while there and somehow my dad ended up with it and he gave it to me when I was in university in the 60s. I took hundreds of photos for the faculty yearbook over four years with this camera. In about 1969, I took it to Oregon and managed to drop it on the marble floor of the Portland airport. (Not sure why I never took my fancy Minolta SRT 101 SLR....just as well.) The lens elements separated in the fall as can be seen in the photos. Shot in the dining room on a piece of foam core board using a soft, bounce flash and a slave fill flash with a white Kleenex draped over the unit to mute the light....highly technical stuff.  They are lighted differently. Abandoned, but it brings back fond memories.   |

Pete.....perfect processing for this old warehouse. I like how the leafless trees add to the feeling of abandonment. Clive....glad to see that your camera wasn't completely abandoned as I imagine it now has found a permanent place to be displayed in your home. Thanks for including its backstory. Andy......looks like an interesting location for photography. The subject, snow and shadows make this a great candidate for B/W photography. Because we read from left to right, some pictures may be more visually appealing if they are flipped horizontally. Sometimes this is difficult for the person who took the picture to see as it is not how it was photographed. I took the liberty to flip your picture. See what you think. I will certainly delete it if you want me to.  |

First... Helen, thanks for the challenge. Really like your mages in the intro post. Last one. Abandoned press drill used for seeding barley. Near Cowley, Alberta. Summer 2018.  |

An abandoned building that was once part of an oil refinery - built in 1901 and closed in 1952. Converted to B&W using Topaz B&W - and having read Helen's note I did flip it horizontally  Tony |

Used On 1 effects. Then Elements.
This ship has been sitting there for a lot of years. Don't know why they haven't demolished it. Not what you want, but I decided to try the old fashioned look.

Looks like a huge piece of property, Bill. Just did a quick search and found this article from 2012. Looks like they haven't decided what will be done with it yet. Does look like there are many photo ops if they allow you on t he property. Margaret...your processing seems appropriate for the subject.....good choice. |

Not quite abandoned, but what is it? It was in use about 80 years ago, fell into a bit of disrepair but has recently had some work done to make it occasionally available for its previous use (if that makes some sort of sense). No prizes, but the warm glow of satisfaction for the right answer... Conversion in Silver Efex Pro then various tinkering of sliders to lift shadows in some areas, increase contrast in others.
