My mother has about 150 glass B&W "plates" which I believe were taken by my late Grandfather in the 1920s. Three of them are of yachts, and here is the best one:
The image quality could be improved, if anybody (present owner?!!!) is interested. I sat the glass plate in front of a light-box, took a photo with my digital camera then converted the negative to a positive in Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 - a professional would do a better job...
Is she an early 12metre? What is her name?
Judging from the land/hills behind the yacht I think it may have been taken from the Lunderston Bay (just south of Cloch Point - north of Inverkip) area, but am open to suggestions. I am going to cross-post on some of the other forums also.
Thank you for your help.
