I like it! I like it fine!
HMS Indomitable is the finest example of the art that I think I have seen.
If anything, I think its enhanced by the B&W. Not only does it reduce the
pic to very realistic colours, but it also gives it that WW2 reconnaissance
shot feel.
And the Torpedo boat looks cool too - can we see some more :-)

Thanks for the kind words--and for mentioning the B&W as a positive.
I'd wondered about that possibility (which has the added benefit of
offsetting the odd colour scheme of those early ships) of "aging"
the photo--if possible I'll try to "sepia-tone" the next batch to
make it more of a WWI feel than a WWII, since the pattern-ship is
the actual HMS Indomitable of 1909, *very* loosely translated from
its 1921 appearance.

I have to get some more film (from the "bad camera," of course)
developed, but once that's done, there should be plenty. It's
three rolls, so there should be a few useable pieces there. The
better colonial cruiser, a few more sailing ships, and a later
(c.1930s) cruiser will also be on those. Hopefully by the weekend
they'll be up.
best,
LFB

Hey all,
I've updated the site a bit--added more ships of various sorts, and
fixed bad attributions. I've got some good ones of the destroyers
coming on Sunday!
best
LFB.
