Colorizing Black and White Images …
This image is an uncropped scan of a glass negative that I have. As usual, I have no clue who the children are or where this photo was taken or the year. Next image is the cropped image.
Here is my first version of the image after I cropped the image and then worked it up in Photoshop. I flipped the image before I started coloring the image …
There still are a lot of areas that I need to improve and I plan on doing some more in the future. I plan on colorizing a few of my father’s old photos, especially the one of the old San Carlos Hotel in downtown Pensacola, but that will is going to take some time to do. The cars, people and details of the building will have to be done individually and those will take time. The next image that I am doing is another glass plate that I have scanned of an unknown baseball team from back in the early 1900’s. Thanks for looking. As I have mentioned before, most of my posts are to my Instagram account so please go and check it out – @frankhardyphoto I believe is how I have it listed. If not, just search Frank Hardy Photography and my account will pop up. Thanks again for taking time to look and please feel free to comment and ask questions.
Glass Plate Negatives …
The images that I am going to post today are from glass plate negatives that I purchased off of the Internet a while back. The first one is of a baseball team somewhere from the early 1900’s. No information about the date, team or the players … just an interesting image to me. I plan on cleaning it up and trying to colorize it at some point, but more on that later.
The team is a little short of players, but who cares? They were playing for the love of the game. Now when you watch a baseball game and you see all of the equipment that it takes to field a team, you wonder how these guys got by. I am sure that they would be stunned to see all of the helmets, shin guards, gloves, etc, etc to see what it takes to get a game going. And I am not even going to say anything about what these players are making in salaries today … you know that would probably shock them even more! Next is a couple of kids painting a brick wall …
Here is the whole glass negative scan. How about those outfits that they are wearing to paint in? I have no clue of the year here either, but I would have to say late 1890’s or early 1900’s. More on these later when I have some time to work them up. Thanks for checking back …
