That's the second funniest toon I've ever seen!

Stezza · April 30

LoRenzo as Cpt Cook

wsterdan · April 30

Very cool! I chuckled the first time the gull flew by, priceless!

Loved it, though it's no "Scallop Rockers", that's still my favourite.

Stezza · April 30

lol

I've run out of credits to do a Scallop Rockers video.... gets away quickly when you do too much!

had to revert to manual mode

Clydeside, so the oposiite side of the Cairngorms - they are in the lowlands area that also has Glasgow and Edinburgh.

I bought a gizmo this week that transfers slides to digital.. I have a heap of slides from the 70's that I took with my Voightlander 35mm camera that my uncle ( who operated a Churchill tank ) got off a German soldier in Germany during the war. He swapped it for a pouch of tobacco, anyways my uncle gave the camera to me ( I was 16 at the time ) when I visited my relos way back then. This is one of the photos I took with the Voightlander.

Lorez Funky Phantom LoRenzo & LoRetta are where in the world?

( for the history buffs - looking at you Richard )

It almost looks like the Devil's Bridge (Rakotz Bridge) in Kromlau Park, but history and geography were my worst subjects in school. Great picture, though, and a great camera!

Stezza · May 8

actually, one of it's names is known as the Devil's Bridge !

just the wrong country

It is a great camera though I haven't used it now for more than 40 years.. I often wonder what photos were taken with it over 80 years ago, I keep it in my display cabinet with a couple of box brownies

my uncle had some box brownie cameras from that era

I have some of those glass and foil wrapped negative things in one of my many boxes of photos, some 126 or more years old

Update, are called Ambrotypes

not exciting ones though, just old rellies

Sorry,I don't recognise it if you meant me-Richard

yep, for you

One name for Old Lower Hodder Bridge is The Devil’s Bridge. This may stem from a tale written in the note book of Reverend Thomas Jolly. Writing around 1690 he states

“Not long since one Richard Atkinson, a profound drunken bailiff, who was one that reproached and cursed the faithful servants of Christ…riding over Hodder Bridge was lifted off his horse, turned thrice about and thrown into the river by an invisible hand, when he was taken dead, it was supposed that he was dead before he came into the water; as he lay dead his wife confessed that the evening before he told her that the devil brought him home and said he would fetch him shortly“.

the desire to have a secure bridge dates back to Medieval times. In 1329, Adam Walton, the Rector of Mitton, testified that the bridge over the river at that time was frequently broken, damaged by floods.

When King Charles I escaped from captivity during the Civil War, he was able to persuade large numbers of Scots to rally to his Royalist cause. This had the effect of starting up the armed conflict once again between the Parliamentarians and Royalists. Oliver Cromwell had been fighting in South Wales, and after re-equipping his men with socks and boots which had been worn out by long forced marches, he brought them into Yorkshire looking to engage his enemy.

Having intelligence that the Royalist forces were in Lancashire, he marched his 8000-strong army from Skipton to Gisburn. The next day, 16th August 1648, he gathered his New Model Army and local militias at Old Lower Hodder Bridge and there, in his own words, “held a council of war”.

Cromwell’s Parliamentary forces engaged the Royalists at Preston and nearby Walton-le-Dale, defeating them soundly, This action was the decisive battle that ended the Civil War. Subsequently, King Charles I would be executed and Cromwell would become the ‘Lord Protector’ of the country.

Cromwell’s Bridge, The Devil’s Bridge, or simply Old Lower Hodder Bridge.

That concludes today's history lesson.

that's pretty cool, I've never seen one in real life. I have some old photos on cardboard like paper. You should take photos of them with your phone and share them around family members or historic FB pages.

I would need to find which box they are in but they are not in good condition

were already like that 50+ years ago and was always told exposure to light causes deterioration, hence kept wrapped up in foil in a dark box

am a bit reluctant to expose them until I have the means and equipment to capture them properly

there is a lot of stuff that is more important I need to do too but lack the means to do

at least until hardware prices drop

my PC cannot capture analogue signals and I have lots of home video footage I want converted

and for various personal reasons I won't disclose, cannot get a third party to do it.

my Win7 could do it to an extent but that died a month ago

its CPU reliant and I only have a Ryzen 3, cannot even use a webcam with that!

if I knew who they were photos of, I'd be more keen

I have utterly no idea, there is 3 or 4 of them, boring portraits of unattractive old people

I bought a vhs to usb cable the other day, works okay with free obs software , from Amazon wasn't too dear , let me know if want link

WendyLuvsCatz · May 9

I have one of those but it won't work on this PC

worked on the Win7 because it was Intel i7

this AMD Ryzen3 won't even do Zoom or run a Webcam video (will take photos)

I can use OBS but not with the Webcam, just screen capture, tried 3 different Webcams

the CPU is just inadequate

a Ryzen5 or more likely could

I did get the Webcam to work with a Nvidia program

7fps but they updated it and now it won't work or the old version with the drivers needed for my 3D stuff
