We really don't know how lucky we are to have our expert photo daters here on Rootschat who give up their time and knowledge for free. Thank you :-*
I also want to thank our fabulous restorers for the hours of eye strain they put into restoring our photos for free :-*

The beauty of posting on here is that lots of people, not just one, give their opinions, so you can be fairly sure that the date given is accurate. I never cease to be amazed by their knowledge and how they can date from one or two clues.
I am very grateful for the dating and restores that have been done for me. Thank you all.

And me!! I don't ask for restorations, but I do ask for, and receive, dating information. I'm so jealous 8)

Service by members on RC is many people can compare their own know dated photos or knowledge like clothing style etc. ( as an example:- Say a member has in the past worked in theatricals costuming department with a wide knowledge range of different dress though the ages but has no knowledge of dating photos but put the two together and bingo.)
One persons view is very limited against the many.

Thank you everyone for your responses, I think we are all in agreement that we are indeed very lucky.
I love to watch the threads on this board and have learned a few tips from the photo daters. I do like to have a guess at the dates of photos and then wait for the opinion of the experts. Occasionally I get it right, then other times an expert comes along and proves I have a lot to learn ;D
As for the photo restorers, I am totally amazed at what they can do, I really don't have the talent, patience or eye balls to try and do what they do.
-
I agree with everyone's sentiments.
Like you Jool I have learned a lot from reading other's dating estimates, and most importantly, the reasons for giving those dates. Many of the analysis of photos posted on rootschat would probably come under the £35 service.
I would be interested to know how "in depth" the reports are, but for an expert I would think this would not be a time consuming task. I wonder how many takers they have for this service? :)

Just adding in my huge appreciation and very grateful thanks for the amazing restorations I have had done over the years by our incredibly talented and generous team of restorers! Thank you all so much for your time and wonderful contributions!
When I am at a loose end, I often pop into the restoration board, just to have a look at the great results these people are able to produce. So clever, and again, thank you all for sharing your skills so freely! Jeanne :) :)

Echoing all the above sentiments. I, for one, truly appreciate any and all assistance on any image I have posted. I also enjoy making my own guestimates on images posted and waiting for the experts to comment. I'm seldom right, which is why I rarely comment, but it's fun when I'm close.
Happy New Year to you all :D :D
-
I too really appreciate the restorers on this board. I have had so many photos restored by our kind restorers for free. I have most of them hanging up around the house so I count myself very lucky.
Well done to you all.
I wish each and everyone on Rootschat a very HAPPY NEW YEAR.

And an ENORMOUS THANK YOU from me for all the help given over the years.
A FABULOUS NEW YEAR to you all.

I'll add my thanks for the help that the restorers and experts have given me over the last year! This is definitely one of my favourite boards (I have been known to browse through some very old threads ;D)

Where's Jim? I hope he's not setting up his new website and planning his price list ;) ;D
