White Waltham, 1997
I have received my negative scanner and set about the process of scanning 35mm negatives with gusto. I am still at the point of sussing out different software and methods of achieving the best result. Some of my negatives are in a bit of a state sadly, others are not so bad.
This image was one I had totally forgotten I had. In 1997, whilst working in a care home for the intellectually disabled, I took one of the residents to an airshow at White Waltham, near Maidenhead. He was even more fascinated by aeroplanes than I was, so he had a great day. Armed with my 35mm compact camera and precious little idea about photography, I took a few photos over the course of the day.
This one shows a Sopwith triplane, a couple of SE5As and a further plane behind that I cannot recall. I've always loved the early biplanes, which obviously prompted a bit of extra effort taking this image as there are no people in the way and it is from relatively close up.
As I learn more I will either rescan or clean this up and replace it, but here it is for the time being.
