Thanks, greg's dad. A wonderful view of a scene long gone! This photograph, I believe, has been posted at Yo Liverpool before. Is it your photograph?

Chris

[gregs dad]

Thanks Chris, yes it is mine. It is scanned from a colour slide I took in 1961.
I still have the original slide.It was mentioned by PhilipG on this forum
where he gave out the details where it could be found on the Old Liverpool
site.
There is a very similar photo on the Liverpool Pictorial site by the late
Brian Granville.

That's right, I do recall PhilipG posted the colour photograph and that the similar view by Mr Granville was posted. Excellent work, gregs dad.

It's one of my favourite Liverpool photos of all time, and I include all the famous photographers.

The lines of the red car tail lights was a trendy thing then in photos. The national Geographical had lots of photos like that.

What camera and filmstock?

[Steven]

Excellent and scanned from a slide. Nice one

[gregs dad]

What camera and filmstock?

Exacta 2a slr camera and Kodachrome colour slide film.
The camera which I still have in working order but not used in these digital
times,has 24 speeds 1000th of a second to 12 seconds.It also has a built in
guillotine with which you could cut your film before you had used the full roll
and develop the piece of film if you wanted your pics in a hurry. You had to
open the camera in your darkroom of course. All my old colour pics were on
Kodachrome and they still as good after 40 years or so.I have used other brands but they have deteriorated.

st.georges place in 1965. the occasion Liverpool`s homecoming after winning the FA cup for the first time. This is one of a set of 39 pics on my Flickr site
www.flickr.com/photos/exacta2a/ all taken from the police traffic control
box which stood outside Lime St. station. When I arrived there the policeman
was still in it but he vacated it soon after and 3 of us squeezed in it. We had
a better spot than all the press photographers. I was contacted by the late Bill Shankly`s granddaughter who was publishing a book called The Real Bill
Shankly and she used 8 of the pics in the book stating that I had captured the day perfectly.

Great photo.
The curved building is Hellewell's, mentioned in a recent thread.

Exacta 2a slr camera and Kodachrome colour slide film.

I have never heard of Exacta. SLRs were not common then. I have a mint condition Olympus OM2 - now 30 years old. A professional camera. Takes pristine piccies as the lens is superb. A very small camera too with superb exposure electronics. The most advanced camera in the world when it came out. I'll never sell it.

Hi Waterways
the exacta was one of the first Single lens reflex 35mm ever to be made .
Made in Dresden Germany of all metal construction. Before they invented
the fibre optics that they use today for internal views of the body they used
this camera in medicine
It had well over 100 attachments you could you use with it. The viewfinder
was interchangable with a waist level viewer. The pentaprism alone had 24
screens you could interchange. I bought mine for £36 and £33 secondhand
46 years ago they are still working.
