Blacksmith

Fri, 09 May 2008 17:12:13 GMT

I have just added a new Photo Album entitled “The Blacksmith”. I use the term NEW loosely as the photos were taken over 17 years ago.

I was taking photos at a Plough Match just outside Randallstown County Antrim it was a cold February morning the light was dreadful, I was working on a shoestring in those days using a Praktica camera and cheap east German ORWO film, because of the light I had to push the 400asa film 2 stops to 1600asa; the film was bad enough at 400asa but at 1600asa it was bloody poor, However I persevered and made the best of a bad job.

This is where I got talking to one of the old boys who was ploughing a well turned out team of Clydesdale Horses, he told me he was going to have the horses fitted with a new set of horseshoes and I was welcome to come along and take some photographs.

We arranged to meet at the Blacksmiths, a traditional blacksmith called Willie Brown just outside the village of Rasharkin in County Antrim and these are the photos.

The negatives lay forgotten in an old box for many years until a few weeks during a clear out I fell in with them again, I scanned them in to the PC and here you are, the quality is not the best however the content is magic.

Copyright

Mon, 05 May 2008 06:15:13 GMT

I have had to add a Copyright mark to all my new photographs, also i will soon be deleting all my old Albums and any of the old photographs that are put back on my web site will have a copyright mark on them, this is due to the number of my photographs being ripped off and appearing on other web sites, also i don't like the way people can down load my photographs and order prints without my knowledge or permission.

You will still be able to do this however the photographs will have a copyright stamp on them.

If you require copy's of my photographs please get in touch with me via email. keiththeduke@hotmail.com

Purchasing Copies of Photos

Purchasing Copies of Photos

The photographs have been reduced in size and compressed to reduce the file size to save web space; unfortunately this also reduces the quality somewhat.

Full size & quality versions of the photographs are available on request for a small fee to cover costs.

I can email them to you or supply you with a CD or a printed copy in approximately a5, a4, a3 or super a3 size.

I will general have considerably more photographs available taken at the same time.

Please note all my photographs are covered by Copyright © if you wish to use one or more of them for publicity or whatever just let me know, their will be no fee for using the photographs, all I ask it acknowledgment for the photo and a copy of whatever the material is used in.
