This was one of my first darkroom images, i used a Illford HP5 400 36 exposure film and used and enlarger to make a print, i scanned this in on my dads crap scanner, and because its crap i made it a little dark in photoshop as the scan as too light. During the enlarging process, i gave him twelve seconds exposure, and burn the right hand side a bit.

This old man came up to me and a few others in Banbury, told us that he was 88 and he did photography all his life, and loved it, he said roloflex or something was the best camera he used. He didn't mind getting his picture taken too. Its a shallow depth of field because he is in focus and the rest isn't, i like it, everyone else did.

One of my proudest photos to date.
