Luckily it was mostly automatic. Dial in a bunch of 30sec exposures and let it rip. It’s the processing that takes a while.

Comment on The difference a decade makes… by Dominic H https://affable-lurking.org/2007/10/29/the-difference-a-decade-makes/#comment-31767 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 12:13:08 +0000 http://affable-lurking.org/blog/2007/10/29/the-difference-a-decade-makes/#comment-31767 I spent more than 10 years as a child and teenager in one of the “new” houses on the Leys/Rookery Farm estate in that picture. My understanding is that the estate was built in 1947 (and the houses supposedly had a 15-year life expectancy! Sure, they’ve had much renovation, on numerous occasions since, but they are still basically in good nick – much more so than some of the newer estates built, and in some cases demolished, since).

So I also suspect that the earlier photo is somewhat earlier than 1950. Earlier than 1947, too.

Comment on The difference a decade makes… by mark gillman https://affable-lurking.org/2007/10/29/the-difference-a-decade-makes/#comment-31629 Wed, 15 Dec 2010 11:05:12 +0000 http://affable-lurking.org/blog/2007/10/29/the-difference-a-decade-makes/#comment-31629 The Leys field…I think this picture was pre war (pre 39) as the open air pool was opened in july 1939. It should be at the middle of the bottom picture. I put this picture as early 30’s.
