Winter tree and two gentlemen
by Richovery
This image is one of twenty large glass negatives bought at a car boot sale in Wellington several years ago, the box cost me £10 so I am more than happy with the 50p I spent on this one! The glass negative measures 6.5 x 8.5″. I did scan the image which produced a very dark image. The image shown was photographed using a lightbox, digital SLR and a tripod and inverted using photoshop. Judging by the other photographs which show a large stately home in the countryside the gentleman on the right might have been the home owner and the gentleman on the left looks like the gamekeeper. Sadly the box had no further information regarding the people shown in the photographs.
lost and found 
What a wonderful photograph and how interesting your explanation of how you have brought it back to life from the original glass negative.
Thanks for sharing it Richard.More please !
If you throw a pic of the stately house up, someone may well recognise it. The winter photo does have the look of a country park about it. But especially thanks for the tip on copying glass negs; I have several hundred in my garage (nicely boxed!) rescued from various places over the years, and will now be off to buy one of these new slimline LED lightboxes and try the technique out. It might even fit on the flatbed scanner and enable me to work that way.
I will photograph some of the others soon Simon. I’m pleased the lightbox tips were of use to you. Hope to see your glass negs soon.
