No doubt lots have seen this exhibition already http://www.npg.org.uk/glamour/index.htm
Well worth the visit. Mostly quite small images which is fine, my only complaint is that the larger prints clearly states something like modern silver bromide from the original negative, Oh really? they look like copies and poor inkjets to me.
The Charlie Chaplin one is very contrasty and you can clearly see the shadow of stipple paper lit when copying. Others I can see banding across the image and they look quite flat.
Still well worth the visit and great pictures how ever they are reproduced, the large prints would of been better if they were an original silver bromide though. I would of liked to see the genuine quality at a large size rather than the muddy prints on show claiming to be new silver bromides.
