Vintage 35mm Slides

 Below is a set of 35mm slides I recently restored, they were taken in the 1960's, 70's and 80's. During the restoration i replaced the sky with something a bit more dramatic as the original sky featured in each picture was washed out and had no life.


Taken in the early 1980's the picture shows the Arc de Triumph in Paris, France. 


Aros Castle ruins on the Isle of Mull, the castle is also known as Dounarwyse Castle. The picture was taken in 1969.


Shrewsbury Abbey, Shropshire picture sometime in the 1970's.


Taken in the 1960's this picture which I restored to colour shows a Welsh coracle boat.

Taken sometime in the late 1960's this shows the Wye Valley, Herefordshire, sadly the exact location is not known despite attempts to find it.

Boating the Northern Coast of Ibiza, San Miguel to Portinatx.

 In July 2014 whilst on a trip to Portinatx, Ibiza I had the opportunity of a boat trip along the coast to San Miguel bay, I've previously posted the pictures taken on the Portinatx - San Miguel part of the journey, the following pictures were taken on the return part of the journey which took approx 1 hour skirting the northern coastline.

There are a total of 16 pictures which can be viewed below or alternatively on Clickasnap full resolution and un-watermarked. They were taken on the 12 July 2014 using a Polaroid is2132 bridge camera.

Accademia Bridge, Venice

Accademia Bridge is a set of pictures I around the bridge area and bridge in October - November 2018. The bridge itself is known locally as the Ponte dell'Accademia and is the southern most crossing of the Grand Canal. The full set of pictures can be seen on Flickr and Clickasnap with a small selection shown below.

The bridge is located near the final loop of the Grand Canal before the canal enters into St Marks Basin, Opened as a steel structure in 1854 the bridge was the first crossing here despite a previous attempt by locals to get a crossing built there. This bridge was replaced by a wooden structure in 1932 which stood until local politicians asked for designs for a replacement in the early 1980's. In 1985 the new bridge opened, it was an exact wooden replica of the 1932 bridge. There has been talk of again replacing the bridge, but I hope on a personal level they decide not to. I found it my favourite of the 3 bridges I saw that cross the Grand Canal (there are 4 bridges across the canal but I only got chance to see 3 of them), I felt it was a more interesting design than the Scalzi Bridge and a lot calmer than the Rialto Bridge.

There are a total of 11 pictures that were taken around the bridge area. They can be seen below or on Clickasnap where they are un-watermarked, full size and resolution.

Water Bus along the Grand Canal in Venice to Rialto Bridge Stop.

I have recently uploaded to YouTube this video I took whilst on the public transport boat bus along he Grand Canal, Venice. The clip follows the canal from the stop at Casino S. Marcuola to Rialto. It just gave me a chance to film some of the magnificent Venetian architecture that sits on the canal side. The clip is 9 mins 29 secs long and I have added the music Blue Danube by Strauss over it. Please take a moment to view, share and subscribe to my channel.

Early Morning Sunrise in Zeebrugge.

These photos capture a moment etched in my memory: the November dawn breaking over the port of Zeebrugge, Belgium. Our ship was just arriving, a prelude to a magical trip to Bruges. That sunrise, a burst of color against the industrial harbour, felt like a promise of the beauty to come. It's funny how the start of a day can amplify the wonder of a place, and Bruges certainly lived up to that promise
 
The pictures were taken using a Polaroid IS2132 bridge camera on November 2, 2015. Clicking any image should open a link in another window to my Colin Green photography store on Zazzle.

Through a Glass, Darkly: Hebden Bridge Railway Station in Negative

 There's something hauntingly beautiful about old photographs, especially when they're presented in a way that flips our perception....
