Title: Mum and Dad on their wedding day
Post by: enigmatic on Sunday 06 September 15 12:05 BST (UK)

Hi

Can someone please help me with this photo? I've scanned it but because of the paper it's printed on it's blurry. I'm happy for it to remain in the sepia tones.

Photo is from 1956 and taken in Burwood NSW Australia.

Thank you japeflakes. Looks good in black and white. My dad looks very handsome for Fathers' Day here in Australia.

Thank you for saying they were good looking. I think so too but I'm biased. Unfortunately they've both passed on.

Just bringing this back up, I think you may have missed some restores when you were on this morning. :)

Thank you everyone for your efforts -they all look much better than my original scan. I like the frames that have been added and appreciate the b&w versions. I like the paper the original photo was printed on but unfortunately it did not come up too well in the scan.

I'm sure whoever originally printed the photos would be absolutely amazed with what can be done these days.
