Views around London from 1980
I said a couple of weeks ago that I had discovered a whole load of colour slides in my late father’s office and that I am working through scanning them. In fact, I’ve discovered that I can get much better results by duplicating them using a slide duplicator I’ve bought and I’ve also discovered that not all the slides were ones that he took – some are pictures my bother took when he was in the merchant navy, and some are pictures I took when I first left home and paid visits to London.
The last set of pictures I posted were from a trip to London Zoo. This set of images come from around London and were taken about 1980. I remember also taking some images in central London – specifically at 10 Downing street, so I will probably add them to this post once I’ve duplicated them. In the meantime, here are some snapshots taken around London with either a Petri MF-1 or an Olympus OM-20 on Kodachrome 64 and duplicated my re-photographing them on my Nex 6. They are not particularly good pictures, but they are of interest to me because I remember the day I took them and so they have sentimental value.
