1940's Ladies

Phil & I visited the annual 1940's festival at Woodhall Spa this afternoon. An entertaining few hours taking pictures of strangers & somehow because they are in costume, it seems much more acceptable!
Thank you for all your comments & favs on yesterday’s photos.

Good b&w. We find if people dress up for an event they enjoy being photographed

[Gillian Brown]

Great shot. If people have taken the trouble to dress up like this, they want to be noticed and probably enjoy being photographed.

[Loopy-Lou]

Great capture, fabulous in black and white.

[Phil Sandford]

Lovely capture. (Think we should dress up next year) x

[Suzanne]

Ooo, I'm hoping to go tomorrow Carole, is it held in town? Lovely shot :)

[Carole Sandford]

@suzanne234 it’s in one of the main streets. There is a park & ride system, to bus you into the centre. Quite well organised.

[Suzanne]

Great stuff, thank you, what a shame we didn't go today, could have met up! I'll FB you but it's in gary's name, I'm not on it :)

[Dawn]

Wonderful fav

[Carole Sandford]

@suzanne234 ah is that the message I’ve received & don’t recognise the name?

[FBailey]

Love this pic! Yes, I think being 'in disguise' must make people much more amenable to being photo'ed.

[Milanie]

Wonderful - takes you right back. Love the b&w.

They sure did a nice job with their 40's outfits.

[Valerie Chesney]

This is wonderful, hats & "gloves" what a super capture.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Great shot- perhaps they feel just slightly unidentifiable with the glasses and hats.

[bkb in the city]

Wonderful costumes

[Babs]

Love the outfits. I am sure they loved having their photo taken.

[Susan.T.]

[Shirley B]

Lovely capture and you have captured the atmosphere in b&w.

[elkehochban]

well done!

[Wendy]

The work and preparation is wonderful! The ladies are so perfectly dressed for the era. Your B&W processing adds authenticity to the shot.
A great event and A FAV!
