Well it's a wall and I was leaning on a wall when I took the photogaph. I did have it printed and it's now on my corkboard.


Taken on Tri-X with a Contaflex II. That old Tessar seems to have imparted an old-fashioned look to the shot. If it weren't for the modern cars and the satellite dish, you might expect Stanley Holloway to appear and declare the area part of Burgundy!

I had spent 4 months in 1970 working in Sofia, Bulgaria (then Comunist) as a young team leader for ICL, and when that stint finished I went down to Greece and took a boat out to Mykonos. My camera was a Werra 1 with an East German Tessa (copy) 50mm lens. I didn't know it at the time, but I had wandered all over the Acropolis with the lens set to a portrait focus length, which is pretty annoying.

Stayed in a dingy room right on the harbour front in Mykonos, breakfast of coffee, rolls and honey at the cafe on the street outside, to the sound of fishermen slapping their octopus against the harbour wall... the definition of exotic for someone from grey, post-war Britain!

This shot was from the back lanes, and I entered a print made from it for the company photographic competition that year, and was pleased to get a second placing... my sole photographic prize ever! No light meter on this version of the Werra, so exposure worked out from the notes inside the film boxes (basically Sunny 16, I suppose). No idea of the settings. The film was PlusX.
 
Well bad shot of my pic using flash, the white smudge is the flashgun and not in the pic.....but was amazed what a lab can do with a 35mm neg....Viv CF 28mm superia 200:-

Still-life-in-garden-b&w by Andy, on Flickr

Just a grab shot on Vista 200 that I converted to black and white, but I really liked it and it is hanging in the hall.
 
This is the only photo I have had printed and hung on my wall.

Bessa R3a 40mm Voigtlander and Velvia 50.

Sunrise in Albir.

 
Converted from an old Kodachrome 25, 35mm colour slide taken at the Severn Valley railway about 35 years ago. The image was processed with PS and MacPhun a few months ago and hangs on my study wall.

I've printed very few of my photos and haven't actually put a single one on the wall yet. When I eventually get a house this is the first one that I'm going to frame and hang, so it's my entry for the month.

Edit, forgot to add that it's the view from the Eiffel Tower, taken on HP5 using the C220.

And here's the print. I spent a long time and wasted a lot of paper printing this one as it took ages to get the contrast right, and then dodging and burning bits to get it just right. I was super happy in the end, though.

Most of the ones on our walls are family pics, and I tend not to put those on forums. However, this one made the grade

Kodachrome Seaside II by wakarimasen1, on Flickr

From my notes, it's the beach at Hayle in Cornwall, looking NE towards Godrevy Lighthouse. Kodachrome in a Bessa R. The one on the wall looks better than the picture above, which seems a but scruffy!

This was from possibly 10 or maybe even 15 years (it's a real darkroom print) ago in a bar where we used to meet up after work occasionally. The woman on the left was giving me lip about not being able to get the camera to work, unaware that I was taking photos without them realising it. I'm guessing that would make it either the Oly XA or the Minox 35 as the Ricoh Gr1 had a motor which they would have heard. She was a very close friend who died tragically young, but I always have a smile when I see her in this photo taking the mickey out of me.

I have a few of my photos printed and framed on my walls but this is my favourite. It's the only 'proper' photographic print I have on my walls. It was very kindly printed for me by @joxby (thanks John (y) ) on lovely big 12" x 12" paper, John produced a variety of print contrasts but this is the one the works for me best, it also mirrors the scanned version that I had inkjet printed myself.

Away from the glitz and glamour of Brentford High Street, hidden down a maze of backstreets is an area most tourists never see. A canal-side community of barge dwellers, decaying industrial buildings and the occasional oddly posistioned boat.
Squeezed in between the towpath and the more permanent buildings there are often small gardens, usually adorned with boating flotsam and jetsam, like this one.

Nice thread! Ok, when I heard on the news that the Berlin Wall was about to be opened (fall), I jumped into the car and drove over to Berlin, got illegally lost (somehow) inside East Berlin and found myself on the other (wrong) side of the Brandenburg Gate. Cue lots of suspicious and very curious looks from people in Trabants looking at my white Mazda car! Just kept smiling a rictus smile back and hoping the Stasi police along the wall didn't stop and check.

Eventually found a way back to West Berlin (no signposts as it didn't exist as far as East Germany was concerned) and the Western side of the Gate. Where I took this picture. The film was then accidentally 'cooked' in a stupid lab... but managed to salvage this. I think it captures the mood quite well.

Congratulations to Littletank - a worthy winner, and my own favourite. Well done Norman - over to you for the next one!
 
I am highly delighted to win a challenge and my thanks go to all concerned. There have been one or two near misses in the past but this is my first success.

There is a slight problem, I am a bit of an old codger (88+ years) and not very familiar with the setting up of things on the forum. Therefore, I would be grateful if some kind person could guide me in what I need to do and, more importantly, how to do it, please. I have an idea which could be fun and quite 'challenging' I think.
 
If no-one minds, I'd be happy to set it up for you. Just 'pm' me your challenge. :D

Congrats you could be our oldest member, and don't forget to post more as you must have a wealth of knowledge even if it just about the old days........I too didn't know how to put up an entry or poll, and my answer has always been esp to my wife when fixing something or whatever and is:- Einstein was a genius but didn't know how to cook a Vindaloo curry......if you don't know you don't know ;)
