Stored safely in our attic for years, I rediscovered an old file of negatives, mostly black and white 35mm, but also many sheets of two-and-a-quarter-inch-square negatives, shot on a waist-held YashicaMat, while I was a student at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee.
Subject matter ranges from photos of friends, college mates, girl friends, locations – including the Fife coast, a distillery, a shipyard and others – objects and things.
In my (limited) spare time, I’ve scanned the negatives on my flat bed Epson (4990 Photo) scanner and have been impressed by Photoshop’s ability to rescue some of the over- and under-exposed negatives, mostly by using Levels.
Below are a small selection. I’ll add to these as I work my way through the folder.
