    Sally B

    At the Duxford BoB display, about to set off for the London flypast . . .
    Some of the Forum at the fence, I would guess (looks like MikeJ over there on the left).

    Hurricane LF363

    LF363 about to take off at Legends this year – welcome back Phil!
    Sorry it’s not an airborne shot – but my camera’s not up to anything better than this!

    View from the Tank bank, Duxford

    If you go along the fence a hundred yards or so past the AAM at Duxford there is a mound on your right popularly called “the tank bank” with a wooden fence on top, in front of which (hanging over the taxiway fence) are usually some Forum members with “drainpipe” lenses on their cameras.
    This is a view with my “box brownie” Minolta Dimage A1 over their heads – taken on the dripping wet BoB display this year.

    OK, thanks, RobAnt, I scanned it before I bought and started using Photoshop; the aim here was to show that a decent picture can be obtained from a negative – of course, one could go on and improve it afterwards, but this was a direct scan without post-processing.

    Swordfish scan

    This was scanned off a 43-year old negative (that was stuffed into a cardboard box and survived about 20 moves to and from France, the UK and Sweden).
    Scanned at 1200 dpi and then reduced as stated above.
    The point being that it’s fine for the Forum resolution (well, in my humble opinion!)

    If you scan the negatives (as I do) use the highest resolution possible to make an archivable digital photo, then in the computer take a copy of this (don’t forget to rename it!) and reduce its resolution to 72 dpi and a pixel width of 700, for example for putting on the Forum.

    Maple 01 – I only have a stand-alone combined DVD/VHS player just now (and a DVD burner on my PC) – looks like I shall be re-equipping soon!

    Re post #28
    Does this mean that a combined DVD/VHS recorder/player can do it in one fell swoop? Can you suggest any models that can do this?

    Desktop – Nice

    The seafront at Nice, when this summer I was obliged(!) to spend a week there in discussions with my lawyers. It happened to coincide with a heat wave, abnormally warm even for the Riviera!
