Family Fun by nicolaeastwood

Family Fun

Obviously not one of mine!
Taken in 1938 by SunnySnaps!

I love this style of shot, and with film quite expensive in those days, I guess, you had one shot to get it right.

Not sure where this was (I'm thinking seaside) but my Grandparents are on either side of my Mum and her big sister Pauline.

Busy day today, and some work to finish this evening, so no time for a shot of my own, highlighting just how precious family fun time is!

This is a tribute to my wonderful Mummy, who keeps the world spinning for us all! xx

An update from Mum, who follows my shots on 365...."yes it was the seaside, I even remember the dress it was lemon yellow edged with white angora wool, hand knitted, maybe by Mum, she did used to knit in those days!"
Wonderful photo and a great tribute retro entry possibly assuming you've scanned and processed ?

@paul2782 yes scanned and cropped a bit, and slightly warmed the sepia tones, to repair a bit of a "blob" another of my technical terms on the original print - cheating a bit, isn't it!??

@nicolaeastwood I would say not people make a fortune out of restoring photos tag it and see! What's to lose?

@paul2782 oh. How interesting...what should I tag it? "Old photo" ?

@nicolaeastwood I think it's just retro :-)
