Half frame Slides Photo Gallery by Keith Berry at pbase.com

Half frame Slides

Photos taken by half frame cameras, mostly Olympus Pen F and FT models, but I also had a Pen
S, Pen D, still have a Samurai and I borrowed a Canon Dial 35 until the winder spring broke.

Many of these slides from the 1960s were only recently rediscovered in a forgotten box.

I have many more but a glance at the viewing figures shows that this is not a popular
gallery so I'm unlikely to invest much more time in uploading additional ones to it.

I came across this gallery when searching for a Pen F/T. Wonderful images, very evocative. Just fantastic colour, feel and charm to them . These belong in an museum archive. Please do more. Please do NOT throw away your slides.

A wonderful selection of images, I love the colour saturation from the old slide film (at first I thought they were HDR images!), very atmospheric and very good images too, they remind me of the type you used to see through a View-Master reel of English villages.

Hi These are great slides - I'm sure many more people would find them if you sorted them into the different places - i.e.you need a seperate folder for the Alcester ones. Have you also considered putting them on geograph.org.uk.? They would be very much appreciated on there. Thanks.

A wonderful trip back in time, with so many excellent photos. Very nice...There's something in the color of film, even when viewed digitally that is unique and in my mind very beautiful (even though I've been shooting almost exclusively digital for the last 8 years because of the ease of it)A wonderful gallery.

Wonderful photos! I would like to know how you digitally converted the half frame slides. My father has thousands taken with an Olympus Pen and I am trying to find a relatively low cost and quick way to do this. Any advice much appreciated Heather Melbourne

I'm happy with all of the colour on these. Colour temperature variations are because of the times of day they were taken and I don't interfere with those.

Very interesting collection. It is amazing the quality of image you were getting. It is s shame about the colour casts; you could get this removed easily on photoshop...

Hi Keith Can across your lovely pictures whilst searching data on Olympus PEN F camera's love the old Kodachrome also your B/W Regards Don (Boston Lincs)

Hi Ice, Thanks for your comments. Most are Kodachrome 25 half frame slides and were processed and mounted by Kodak themselves.

Hi, I am from Hong Kong and after browsing this gallery, I love this gallery so much...are these all half-frame slides? Where did you develop these slides?? It was so good. Thanks, Ice

I was so excited when I discovered your B&W photos of Liverpool Docks - my family arrived there (it was all B&W!) Aug 1960 from New Zealand. Now I discover these wonderful photos. My family settled down to dairy-plus farming in Devon - love the Jersey Cow! thanks for that - just outside Dalwood, near Axminster. As children we roamed south east Devon: Seaton, Beer, Axmouth (smuggling history!) etc, Colyford, Colyton, Shute, etc; fell in love with the old cottages, pubs and churches, small country villages, the patchwork of green fields and hedges, and the cries of gulls and smell of fish, the gear tackle and trim of fishermen and messing around in boats - and we longed to go on donkey rides. We roamed further afield too - were no strangers to Lyme Regis, Salcombe Regis, Dartmouth, Dartmoor (granite quarry railroad and swimming holes), Exmoor - ad infinitum. If you have many more, here's one avid fan who'd pore over every single one - beautiful photography, a great eye you have - flooded with memories, and so appreciative am I. I now live on a small island off the west coast of British Columbia, Canada. I'm off to roam the rest of your site...
