Background notes on the author

 of the EdinPhoto web site

Peter Stubbs

 

Early Photography  -  Yorkshire

   My Photos - St Bede's Grammar School - In the school grounds - On the Log - 1962 ©

My interest in photography began while I was living in Bradford, Yorkshire.  The school had a Photographic Society and darkroom. 
I was particularly interested in:

-  railways

-  other transport

-  school events

-  black and white printing

 

Move to Edinburgh

Edinburgh Castle - Late afternoon - Winter

I moved from Yorkshire to Edinburgh in 1963 and joined Edinburgh Photographic Society.  I have used the Society's colour and black & white darkrooms over many years, and recently joined the society's digital imaging group.

 

Documentary Projects

    Leith Dry Docks ©

I am continuing a number of documentary projects in my spare time, including:

-  Edinburgh at Work

-  Scotland at Work

-  Edinburgh's Shops

-  Citroen 2CV Cars.

-  Scottish Railway Stations

A few photos from  these projects are included on this web site.

For almost all the photographs for these projects, I have used Fuji Velvia slide film.  I have a large collection of  these slides, and have made 50cm x 40cm colour prints from several of them.

The photographs for the Scottish Stations project are black and white  Most have been taken on Agfa 25ASA or Ilford 50ASA film; some are on Kodak High Speed infra-red film. 

 

Research

   EPS Transactions - 1880-1900 ©

My research into the History of Photography in Edinburgh, and creation of this web site www.edinphoto.org.uk has been carried out in my spare time.

The research began in 2000.  The site went 'live' in 2001.   I have a lot more information and images still to add to this site, and more photos to take to capture scenes around Edinburgh.

 

Recent and Forthcoming Talks

35mm Slides and Digital Images

In the past, I have given talks to photographic societies and local history groups, usually illustrated by prints and projected 35mm slides.

Now, from 2008 onwards, as more societies have digital projectors, I hope to be able to base these talks around images on the EdinPhoto web site.

If the images are not yet on the web site, I'll add them to the site before giving the talk.

A Few Talks

Please click on one of the links below (then on the links at the foot of the page that opens up) to see the scope of some of these talks.

Some pages may be slow to display, as they are designed primarily to be viewed off-line.

Please scroll down the Pages

You'll need to keep scrolling down the page.  You may find some quite large areas of blank space as you scroll down.  I've added the 'space' so that individual images can be viewed in isolation, without distraction as you scroll down the pages.

Some of the comments on these pages may appear a little cryptic (without the additional commentary that I would normally give when delivering the talks) but I hope most of the comments and pictures make sense to you as you scroll down these pages.
