Old Style Fishing

[poledark]

Peter and Chesters, I did a high res scan and saved as TIFF and it came out 26mb, but after a great deal of complaining from my PC I have reduced the file to 2.6mb. Still to big for me to use it as a background, but as I said earlier the detail is staggering when you consider it is from a B/W image printed on yellowing paper in a 100 year old book!.

 

Would you like me to ZIP it to you Chesters?

 

Original now restored... Chesters, Write out 100times.."I must not interfere with other peoples pics"

Sheesh i really must get my eyes tested, for a moment there Den i thought you'd said "i must not interfere with other peoples pri*s"

So the Bivvy was there 100 years ago then? I thought Chesters had cleverly inserted it! And to think I thought how clever he was .

 

Yes, it would make a lovely screen saver.

Its Bob Nudd, Chris Sandel (or something like that, you know the antique tackle collector who presents Just fishing) with a very young Mat Hayes in the middle.

They are field testing the very first black magic poles with a weight of 5000 grams!!!!!!!!!

Den - I'd love a copy to nvail@ctc.net if you wouldn't mind. But the 2.6Mb version rather than the 26Mb one.

[poledark]

On its way Newt, zipped down to 1.4mb.

 

Anyone else want a copy (makes a nice "old" print) just mail me,

Got it Den and thank you.

 

BTW - converted to .gif it's about half the uncompressed size and as a .jpg around 250Kb.
