I've spent some time recently scanning some of my early efforts at photography into a digital format from the 6x4 originals. Wasn't entirely sure how much post processing should be performed, and ultimately decided that it really wasn't worth performing anything barring a minor touch here and there...
Unsurprisingly, the earlier images (and the first photos I took were way back at IAT 1994 at the grand old age of 10) leave a lot to be desired. Saying, that some of my more recent efforts can still be rather suspect
Thought I might share some of these scanned photos - only the 'better' ones of course, so don't worry there probably aren't going to be that many!
Couple from IAT1994 as mentioned
Czechs were there in force, only this Su-22 was worth sharing - or more importantly it was the only one to actually appear properly in a photo
