Vintage Pics in your vintage threads!

[Darhling]

I have loads, some better than others, some taken by professional photographers, others are snapshots.

Agreed!

So awfully nice to see you back, Darhling - you've been missed, I am sure.
(Oh how I love that shot with the umbrella )

Here's my go at the vintage - doesn't always have to be sepia, me thinks...

Tally-Ho Squadron Leader!
Where did you get that type B helmet & type D mask?

Splendid picture!

 

[Spitfire]

Sefton Clothing Co. UK made it.
The helmet is new - made to measure. The goggles are original. And the mask is made up from new and original pieces.
The guy to call is Stephen Silbum. Great guy to work with.

The irregular edge which many photos from "The Golden Age" had was referred to as a "deckle edge".

They are somewhat hard to find, but if you look around and are lucky you can find scissors which cut that pattern, and so can produce actual photos that look proper for the Golden Age period. (This assumes that you develop film and print photos in the darkroom as they did at that time.)
I use that method a lot to produce photos for my reenacting unit and will post some as soon as I learn how to do that.

Fabric scissors can cut in a zig-zag, so you cut the edges once, then offset the cut again for that irregular edge.

Fantastic, Sir! Love it...

"Fabric scissors can cut in a zig-zag, so you cut the edges once, then offset the cut again for that irregular edge."

That technique will result in approximation of the true deckle edge, but having the right scissors-blade shape will reproduce it exactly.

Same picture - just fooled around with my new editing app.

With a little too modern leash:

Oh, perhaps I'm intruding in a gentlemen's thread? If so I will remove my post.

 

[Cicero]

You looking good in vintage Isis.
Keep the pic's coming!

No, no - absolutely not. You are more than welcome and so are all your sisters
