Cheryl posted a lovely shot of the middle meadows walk in Edinburgh. I used to live just across from there and it brought back many memories. I found the negs from a fair held there. I have never printed these as I knew I was going to leave college. So this is scraping the barrel as far as filler goes, not taken today - more like 1986 ! so much catching up to do, thanks for all the comments on the polaroid boat - like the way people see it. It's great to get a fresh perspective
Nikon FE
Film Kodak tri-x
developed in D76 most likely
@chezza - will scan more and doesn't really scream Edinburgh or Meadows - sorry :)

Great old shot... what else did you have on the film? What other treasures have you got hidden away?

@gailmmeek Just fairground stuff and a band playing Gail - it takes so long to scan and the first lot were too low a resolution so start again!! Grrr . Will probably upload more as I'm struggling to find time to do much photography at the moment which is exceedingly frustrating!

@gwhit123 Ooo, Portobello is gorgeous, you have the beach too. I love the name Granny Scotland!

@ingrid2101 Do you only have film cameras, or do you own digital as well?

What a great find. Nice feeling of movement

lovely blurr -- this almost looks like a Lensbaby shot. Love the face in the foreground that is little camouflaged by the movement.

Fabulous shot Ingrid. I love the feeling of movement as they race around in the bumper cars.

Oh I love how the boy is in focus yet the car shows motion !!!

Fab shot. Love it. Thanks for sharing it. I hope they have Dodgers this year. Perfect timing too it's this sat/Sun coming. Nice to hear the meadows shot brought those fond memories back.

What a fantastic action shot! Great to see such old negatives getting developed. I have some old film I haven't had developed from about 10 years ago- must get to it one day soon.
