The best camera is one that still works!
Following on from roll #4 posted in this thread.
This roll is Agfa again and was marked ‘Niagara, NZ, Lepperton Farm’ … there are thirty five exposures on the roll and it seems like the film was a bit over developed or over exposed to me!
No sign of Niagara but we are definitely in New Zealand … being a Kiwi the countryside is unmistakable to me. Lepperton, where almost all of the photos are taken, is ten kilometres from where I spent a lot of time as a chid and then as a youth staying with my grandmother in New Plymouth which is a large seaside town … probably now a city! My father was born in a place called Eltham about forty kilometres south of Lepperton so my Father’s family were all from this area.
The first few shots on the roll are taken leaving Suva … I scanned the Suva roll the other day and recognise the docks. Like I said these films were definitely not stored in chronological order … which kinda makes it fun at times … and sometimes not!
Some of the pics are definitely on the blurry side so I’m again wondering about the user of the camera and who actually took these photographs … sometimes it seems like they may have been taken with the lens not quite fully extended? I thought maybe it was a scanning problem at first but after looking closely at the negs with a loupe they aren’t great and the grain is excessive in a lot of exposures! No real standout images in this roll IMO but interesting none the less!
Once again … thanks for looking and please continue with the valuable feedback.
