Monochrome Weekend
Piccadilly Circus, London, England, May, 2000
Usually the photos I post have been taken very recently. However, I have a large number of older photographs taken in years past. Right now Tulsa is a mass of icy slush which does not always photograph well. So allow me to share some oldies with you.
While on a tour of England and France with Tulsa Community College in May of 2000 I took a large number of photographs with a film camera using Kodachrome. A CD of digital images were produced by the developer at the time the film was processed and printed. I have converted some of these to black and white (or sepia) using Paint.Net. Brightness and contrast was adjusted to satisfy myself. I will be sharing these from time to time. I hope you enjoy them.

This is a lovely shot - I think the fact that it's raining gives this picture so much more dimension!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!

ReplyDeleteThe Road to Here
I imagine, at the moment, London may well be covered in snow. The novelty of pictures we are shown on the news of England experiencing a load of the white stuff is beginning to wear a bit thin now!

Hi thanks for visiting my blog. I followed the link to your road trip. Some years ago I had a wonderful week driving in New Mexico and on other occasions a week in California and New England. America has such wonderful scenery and vibrant cities.
ReplyDeleteHello from sharonsmum.anne
ReplyDeleteI think it's a terrific Photo of a (what we think) typical London scene.
