Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

ok competition is now open

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Russell, those are lovely pictures you have put into the comp.

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Totally Agree

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

I like the 'Lady Yvonne' picture. It has elegance, poise and a delicacy about it.

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Thank you both for the kind words. This is Lady Yvonne taken recently.
She is still as sweet as ever and she rings me about once a month from Swanland where she lives. Originally a Hebden Bridge lass.

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

A beautiful girl turned into a beautiful lady......please tell her I love her picture.

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Russell, your new additions to the comp are charming.
I like them a lot.

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

I will do that Margaret.
Yvonne is a real down to earth lass and gets stuck into village life, even donning waders when it's time to clean out the village duck pond.

I was with her last weekend at her mother's (my aunty) 98th birthday.

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Mick, that is a lovely shot of you with your Mum and Laddy.

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

I agree, Margaret. What a lovely turn this Comp. is taking! Not all of us have youngsters readily available for recent snaps, but the entries are showing ingenuity and fond memories. I hope more members post theirs soon :)

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

I do too. I like looking at these older black and white pics.
I know they aren't as polished and perhaps not as clear as the digital pics, but they take me back to an age when things seemed a bit more sedate - not naive, but gentle.
OK. I'll take of the rose tinted ones now and put my old ones back on :)

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Have been looking at the entries and am in a real quandary - how the heck can I choose just one out of all those beautiful pictures. I like them all - maybe I'll use the system that I have when making a selection in the Melbourne Cup - just close my eyes and point!!!!!

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Dotti - sometimes that is the ONLY way to do it!

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

I just wish that more people had entered.

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Here , Here

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Ditto.

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Managed a couple (think i`m pushing it with one of them), difficult one for me this time, only old pics and no scanner, had to take a pic of the print.

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Well, at least you have submitted something.
And I really do 'get' the fact that this time the remit might be just a bit challenging, but it makes you just a bit more innovative...or it should do.

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

I like both of those pics.

For those who have not entered...there is still time!

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

ER not now uploads are now closed so please go have a look and vote:D

you have till about 10pm Sunday to decide and vote

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

My vote's in. Well done everyone!

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

My votes in also. Gorgeous pictures, but eventually had to make a choice. All worthy winners.

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

I can't make up my mind yet, too many good photos.
We have until Sunday evening to decide so I have lots of time to cast my vote.

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

:) My votes in :)

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Come on .VOTE VOTE VOTE

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

I have done.

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

I have voted.

Re: New Photo Competition 31

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Up to press there are only 14 votes cast for the pics in this comp.
Just how sad is that?
It isn't even like you have to stir your stumps to go to a voting station. It akes no effort and very little time.
Come on you folk out there. Get voting!

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Come on we have had plenty of viewings now lets have some votes.

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Ok this competition is now closed and after looking at the results of 1874 views

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Well Played Russell. Love that pic...a worthy winner.

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Congratulations Russell. You thought you would have nothing to enter and you won.

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Well done Gremlin.

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Ironic isn't it Frank?
We didn't get a look in :)

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Better luck next time, Margaret.

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

well done gremlin

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

I just like entering...and seeing others get involved too.
I like seeing how others have interpreted the theme.

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Well done Russell

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

It's a lovely photo, Gremlin! It deserved to win - congratulations :)

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Great Shot G . A worthy winner :)

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

Thank you all for the kind words, I didn't really deserve to win because I didn't take the photograph. It was taken by Alice Longstaff who I believe died over 40 years ago.

Alice was a professional photographer with a studio in Hebden Bridge and there is a very good web site dedicated to her and her photographs of old times.
Me and a few of my cousins had our photos taken there when we were young.
The link below will take you to a website with a lot of her photographs on.

Zenfolio | David Martin Photography | Alice Longstaff Gallery Collection

Anyway, thanks again for voting for me, I will see what I can dig out for the current competition.

Re: New Photo Competition 31
 

An amazing look at times gone passed, and at a time when photography was more of an effort to capture the image. Also a female photographer must have been a bit of a rarity back then.
