asdarley Posted 27 July , 2009 Share Posted 27 July , 2009 Today an elderly neighbour handed me a 2"x3" cardboard box with the comment "You like the war don't you" In it I discovered over 100 photos and negatives taken by a Lt Observer in the RFC, Here is one of the negatives Any Tankies out there know much about it? I will scan and show the rest when I can find time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Morgan Posted 28 July , 2009 Share Posted 28 July , 2009 Tom That's great! How did you do that? In the basic photo software that came with my computer, there's an option to reverse a picture and turn it into a negative. Of course, if you turn a negative into a negative, you get a positive. If you can't find anything on your machine, I'd be happy to do some more for you. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarylW Posted 29 July , 2009 Share Posted 29 July , 2009 "Today an elderly neighbour handed me a 2"x3" cardboard box with the comment "You like the war don't you" Lucky you! This must feel like finding gold, can't wait to see the rest (Note to self: Must inform elderly neighbours of my war obsessions interests!) Found the tips on turning negatives positive very useful too. My late dad, a war veteran (unfortunately wrong war for this forum) was a prolific photographer and amongst his war photos are a number of negatives that I can now look at Caryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
