    Yeah, that's one of the best I've seen of the Albany.

    Very nice, Dave.
    This is all that my Zenith was capable of in 1982.
    It's interesting to spot the differences.

    Phil, I love seeing older pics of the ones I've taken. If you asked me about the Albany Building 10 years ago, I wouldn't have a clue what you were on about!
    They are fantastic pics. You need a proper website to promote all your stuff (hint, hint)

    Thanks very much, Dave.
    I don't know about a website - I spend too much time on the PC anyway!
    I've got a flickr page (is it called a page?), and contribute to the "Old Liverpool" group, and, of course there is the "1980s & 1990s Liverpool" thread here, and the other threads.

    Unfortunately, I'm only too well aware that the Zenith wasn't the best camera in the world, and I always went to Max Spielmann's, so (especially nowadays) I can see that they're all slightly out of focus.

    Peeps, take note that today ASDA's photo department gives much better results than Spielman's or Samson's (who crop too much off).

    Philip, you mention cropping - is this with digitally captured photos? Don't forget, a lot of digital cameras take photos with a 4:3 aspect ratio, so if you get 6x4 (standard) sized prints, they get cropped on the sides. Some places (Jessops for example) do 6x4.5 prints to deal with this. If you knew this anyway, ignore me, but thought I'd mention it.

    Anyway, since I'm up so early, I may as well add to this thread...

    Yes, a digital camera.
    It was definitely the processing.
    Samson's cropped all four edges, enough to know that wasn't what I originally snapped, so I took the memory card to ASDA & got them done again - which they did with more of the picture showing.
    They were honest enough to say that slight cropping happens even with them, but it certainly put me off Samson's.
    And ASDA's results are sharper than Spielman's, whose focussing was always rather poor.

    Sorry Kev, if I've strayed off-topic.

    Sorry about this.

    I thought Snappel's picture was connected with his comment about cropping.
    Was there a date on it when I posted my pic?

    Snappel - WELL DONE!

    That's one of the best pics I've seen in a long time.

    Excellent photography.
