Title: Could anybody help me with this picture of Mary and John McDermott
Post by: k_faz22 on Saturday 03 January 15 22:41 GMT (UK)
Hi
Please could anybody help me with this picture.
It is off my Gr Grandma and grandad Mary and John McDermott of Ireland.
If possible I would have like it clearer of gr grandad face or anything that brings it out better than it is.
Thank you

a bit of an improvement - but you can't fix out of focus - as I know to my sorrow!   ;)

 I know you didn't ask for a coloured version ... but ....  as it was probably taken in the Emerald Isle .... a verdant version....just for fun ;) ;D 

A super variety of  restores gang ...

 ;D  A s long I  wasn't the one having to mow it all  Carol!... It's been so long since I spent time doing stuff on the board....it's been a nice change  as I  usually just go direct to  the posters  if I see  something I really feel I  want to do ... ... Just seen your thread on "Is it worth it? "... same old chestnut innit... S'why I  have been away for so long elsewhere .... it started to feel souless  and a bit like  I was on a  conveyor belt in a factory .... and you didn't even talk to the other workers !! ;D
 Feeling a bit nostalgic  for those days..... ;)

As soon as I saw this Poll I thought of Clee Hill and stopping to try and get photos, but if memory serves me correctly it was blowing a gale.  Can't remember if that was before or after the pub though!   :o :o :o ;D ;D ;D ;D

Beautiful work BTW!

Oh for the days when restorers were a team actually communicated with each other and had respect and admiration for a job well done.

Thank you everybody for you versions of the picture I am happy with them all.
Polldoll Thank you for the coloured one it seems strange seeing them in a coloured photo as I have only ever seen them black & white.  :)

Thank you everyone  :) :)

You are welcome Kel...
 I nearly always prefer  to see the original tones in an old photo   ... but as you say  sometimes it can just make people seem more real when a bit of colour is added ...especially if you have never known them personally ...
