Digging into my Instamatic negatives and experimenting with scanning them in a 35mm holder.

This is the Columbia Icefield glacier in 1974, a two image stitch of two Instamatic images.

Just noticed the thread. I can’t contribute to this amazing collection, because of my age , but it is still a great place to scroll through some interesting photos.

1985 'Honeymoon in Egypt' with 22 members of The Pentax Club of Great Britain!

My 'Honeymoon' with Wife number 2 was in 1985 with 22 other members of The Pentax Club of Great Britain to EGYPT. I took my Program -A won as a Prize in the Pentax Magazine for SLIDES and an ME Super for B&W . On the Nile Cruise I got Dysentery and missed The Valley of The Kings Tombs and various Nile Locks we went through. we finished up at Aswan to see Abu Simbel reconstructed Statues. FILM was PERUTZ 50 for Slides except for the one of ME on CAMEL ( Finished up a Kodachrome 64) and Ilford Pan-F foe B&W . These are SLIDE SCANS , some had fungus.

The Sir Tristram tied up in Stanley Harbour in 1982. This is what a 500lb bomb does. At this point the conflict was over and she was being used as an accommodation vessel. Pentax ME Super with 50mm F/1.7. (Scan from photo).

Yup! I went down after the war on the SS Uganda which was converted from being the hospital ship during the conflict to being the first vessel to bring replacement troops down.

Here she is (not a good image sadly)

Peter the Dog

Taken with my first camera, a Ross Ensign using glass plates. I was using it in my teens until about 1970, as long as the stock of plates lasted.
My father bought it when when he was a young man, and it was old then, but good. It was a cube of about 8" side covered in brown leather, with a frame rate of about 0.01 fps It had a focal plane shutter with a max speed of 1/1000 sec, amazingly (but not accurate, we found). I think it was a half-size version of that used by Frank Hurley on Shackleton's Antarctic trip of 1914. IDK what happened to it, but I believe my Mother sold it (together with my late father's Rolleiflex) to a door-to-door calling scammer antiques dealer for a fiver the lot

Second picture shows the 3.5" x 2.5" plate alongside a 35mm slide holder.

Plate copied with K-1, M100mm macro, reversed in PP.

I showed some slide scans taken in Egypt recently in 1985 and then found my slides of a trip to KENYA with the Pentax Club of Great Britain. I mostly used AGFA 100S but some were on the 'Short-Lived' ILFOCHROME 100 which was exactly the same as the AGFA, made by Ilford Limited. Camera was PROGRAM-A

"Bitten off more than he can chew?" - undated photo probably from the mid-1970s at Blackpool Sands, South Devon. Scanned from Agfa slide film. Probably shot using Pentax SPII.

Trying out my pixl-latr with the Forster add-on for mounted slides. Seem to work OK. These slides are from a visit to Blewburton Hillfort in Oxfordshire in January 1984 taken with an ME Super and Boots cheap slide film.
