Sunday ~ UK Spring APUG Gathering, Cornwall

The beast of Ian Grant awaits his nimble fingers. This lovely camera probably started it's life, at a guess, some 70 to 80 years ago, probably more, photographing the sombre faces of the UK's gentry. Today it gets a trip out to the lovely beach at Gwithian, Cornwall.

This is a wonderful location and although there is so much to photograph here, I chose to keep my camera in it's bag and just enjoy the sun, sea, sand and conversation with fellow APUGer's

Ian Grant
The Agfa Ansco & 12" Dagor started life at the hands of a lecturer, Charles Brown, around 1938/9, he taught at the Clarence White School of Photography, NY, in th US. Later the camera was consigned to ignominious use as a copy camera in the 90's by it's second owner, a photography professor, in Portland Maine :smile:

A fine looking machine, Ian. That's a great history. Fun when we have a little context behind the tools of our trade. How did the neg turn out? Looks like an interesting spot you were working. All the best. Shawn

The negative's excellent Shawn, Adox/EFKE 25 at 50EI in Pyrocat HD, in fact I have made a print but I don't feel the image really works :smile: I'll scan it in a day or so.
