I put the bright leaf on the 'Intersection of Thirds' as taught after over 60 years in Camera Clubs -- the local Priest came by and commented " That is a wonderful old ROLLEI " ( 47 years old ! )
Taken in Republic of Ireland some years ago during a Coach trip. I had never done anything with this photo -- I cropped out some stuff at the side and tried to adjust out a Blue Cast -- I think the PLANAR lens gives a Blue cast on overcast light as I have had it before
Some years ago I went to the National Arboretum War Memorial with all my 'Veterans' gear' on for the 50th Anniversary of National Service in the UK-- nobody worried that I was a short-term REGULAR Soldier' in the RAMC so I marched with everyone and was presented with my 'Veterans' badge' by an RAF Chief Vice-Marshall ( whom I saluted very smartly!) After the parade we could wander around and I went to see the wall where all the names of Servicemen killed in action are inscribed to find the 21 year old Son o
Out with my 1969 ROLLEIFLEX 3.5F Planar as it was sunny _ got this bloke washing his horse in the Pond near our Town Centre !!

My Old Friend Bart who gave me this Rolleiflex 3.5E Planar, with one of his famous funny 'self-portraits' I used full aperture with no flash by window-light.
I met an old friend out in the town -- he posed for a photo-- I was using my 1962 Rolleiflex 3.5 E-3 Planar loaded with 2007 outdated Ilford XP2 Super 400 I rated at 250 ASA and processed in C41. I used full aperture .
Taken many years ago in Dubrovnik-- at the time I had a Carl Zeiss IKOFLEX camera I had bought new in Germany when I was there in the British Army 1956-58 for the equivalent in Pounds Sterling of £ 15 -00 -- it had a Zeiss Opton-Tessar lens which was 'good' for a while then it sunk into the lens mount and I could never get any sharper photos -- I was told those 1950's Opton-Tessars were set in pitch and when it got HOT the pitch softened. I used Ilford FP3 film. I did a 20x16" print for Camera Club competi
Taken many years ago in Dubrovnik, I had a ZEISS IKOFLEX at the time I had bought in Germany new when I was there in the British Army 1956-58 -- I used Ilford FP3 film -- I did a 20x16" Exhibition print for Camera Club competitions -- this is scanned from a 10x8" darkroom print. The lens was a 75mm f3.5 Zeiss Opton- Tessar which sunk into the mount later on due to heat.

Seen in my home town of Brentwood, Essex (England) I was using up some outdated Kodak GPF film I had been given . I home-processed it in C41 and scanned using Vuescan on an old Epson 1650 flatbed.
a Double Exposure in my house -- our glass front door and my wife's Geraniums in the back garden ! I used up some 1999 Kodak GPF film I had been given and home-processed in C41.
