This posting could be slightly off topic. Not sure. Here are 3 quarter-plate negatives of Times Square taken at night on January 16, 1947. The negative envelope says exposure was 14 seconds at f/6.3. The three plates are color separation negatives. The color assembly was done in Photoshop.

Found a number of 4x5 glass plate negatives in a Central Dry Plates box. The photos are from Oregon. I've already posted a few of the images. Here's another.

You fellows have some gems. I followed your link, DrTang. That is a fantastic collection.

Here are two more that I printed on Sunday. First is a 5x7, second is 4x5. The second was very tricky to print.

Spirits? I love the vignette, which I presume is due to ageing emulsion. Super.

Here is a damaged 5x7 glass plate negative that I found in an ancient and poorly stored 5x7 film holder, of all places. Lots of damage to the emulsion but still... there's life there. My quick scan may not have done this justice.
