In the Garden by the Church...
Found this roll of 616 Kodak Verichrome Pan in a box with dozen of other rolls and 35mm cassettes I recently received from camera collector. He had this set of dusty things after 30+ years of collecting old cameras.
The Six-16 Brownie camera pictured is not the camera used to take pictures below; it is just happened to be around when I decided to take a picture of the roll. Possible candidate at most.
So, what's inside?
#1
Considering all the circumstances the quality is very good. Image can even withstand moderate degree of enlargement:
#1 (fragment)
Background is sharp but not the faces. This is may be due to slow shutter speed and slight subject's movement at the time of the exposure:
#1 (fragment)
#2
#3
#3 (fragment)
Peaceful, almost biblical composition is destroyed by this strange column in the foreground.
Yes, the shutter speed was slow, we can now see it.
#4
#4 (fragment)
Car, electrical transformers, "Coca-Cola" ad...still, nothing feasible to put a date stamp on.
But I can hear the voices:)
#5
This one is fogged which is quite common for the last frame on the roll.
Not much to say.
60s, first half?
Just a guess.
Could not recognize the car on #4 -- too small part, I do not think it is possible.
Clothes, hairstyle are the only time marks.
It is also unclear who took the pictures and what kind of camera was used.
Probably not box-type Brownie: all the frames were taken from high view point and Brownie suggest lower point.
Place? No idea. I received the roll from Colchester, Connecticut.
That's about it. Sunday's afternoon 40+ years ago.
