Summer ball, Exeter 1986

I remember taking this picture, which isn't a bad feat of memory

considering it was 17 years ago. The were just things I happen to

have handy. It was shot on "Own brand" i.e. 3M slide film, which has

lasted well even though it hasn't been stored in ideal condition. It

was shot with a 50MM lens using available light, and it was one of

the first things I scanned when I got my new HP3970.

I think I would want the "invitation" to be more in focus, I think the date on it is important. Just for "historical" perspective.

There is very little depth of field, from memory I think the lens was only about 18 inches/50CM from the subject, and it was probably shot at f2 (f4 at most) so there's very little d.o.f, I quite like that the text on the card is soft. There's nothing signigicant about 20th June 1986, except that was when the ball took place.
