Mateer 010a, Ipswich 1980s
A view looking southeast over Princes Street and Greyfriars. After 12 years in the photographic trade in the RAF, Brian Mateer joined Fisons This was part of their Farm Photo Plan in which two cameras one with 35mm colour Infrared film and the other with 120 negative film were used. The infrared film could pinpoint any disease in the crop.
A precarious method of photographing was employed in which Brian had to stand on the pilot seat and photograph through the open window using a fast shutter speed. Generally pictures were taken at 500 feet and the whole job would take about 30 minutes.
These images were donated by Brian Mateer.
