I love seeing old photos of cities! I look forward to seeing more!

Mr Bricks · June 8th, 2009, 02:50 PM

Interesting! Would love to see some pics of Berlin and London since those cities have changed so much since 1985.

capricorn2000 · June 9th, 2009, 01:49 AM

Sorry Mr. Bricks, I don't have photos of London cos I never been there. I have quite a few pics of Berlin cos a lost a roll of film. I didn't properly load the film on my cam. and this also happened for Florence, Pisa, Heidelberg, Frankfurt and Hamburg. my bad.

Glad you liked it.

I am really no specialist in image processing and I don't even have Photoshop.
Any software will do as long as it is able to separate RGB channels and to adjust the colour temperature.
Even IrfanView can do some basic work on such small images.
I am using Paint Shop Pro but that means nothing.
Here is another one - Nr. 28 (quite a challenge since most of the green channel was lost).

That might be interesting to process the pictures digitally to get back to their original color spectrum, but that's also nice to see how their colors changed throughout the years...
Anyhow, I really like this idea of posting argentic pictures to show Paris and suburbian areas 25 years after.
Thanks Capricorn2000 !

Rinchinlhumbe · June 9th, 2009, 06:10 PM

nice idea, not only the sights (the Eiffel tower did not change that much within the last 25 years), also people/lifestyle/clothing/cars which document such an era make such threads interesting.

***christos-greece*** · June 9th, 2009, 06:16 PM

Lovely photos capricorn

thanks for those updates; you said: you have photos from Piza (Italy)? I would really need to see them

capricorn2000 · June 9th, 2009, 07:25 PM

no Christos..i don't have the pics on those places i mentioned in post no. 6..all in all there were like 6 rolls that were improperly loaded to my cam.
it was my bad i didn't double check. so i settle for postcards..

i have some pics of athens though.
