    What's interesting is the quality and resolution of the glass plate in comparison to the presumably 35mm photo from 1990.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyelightfilms] Would imagine it was 35mm alright.
  • Robin Parkes said:
    A good big one beats a good little one every time. Even medium format beats 35mm hands down so you may guess what resolution a 19 x 13cm glass negative has.
  • Swordscookie said:
    What is really interesting as regards the buildings is how many of the large two storey ones are missing from the 1990 shot. Population density had obviously dropped considerably. The number of farms/cottages and more remote buildings is no greater. The Abbey in the foreground was an Augustinian Priory. A neighbour of mine was from Ballinskelligs and her father was a noted Gaelgoir and author who wrote about the area. He published a book about Ballinskelligs just before he died a couple of years back.

    The striped poles are beacons - navigation aids for boats. maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V2,443338,565955,12,9

    As the setting is on the shoreline, I would guess they are a Nautical Marker, in lieu of a Light House. Could even be some form of Nautical signal station/beacon. As there are two, maybe align them, as the ship's/boat's pilot/Captain nears the shoreline guides the vessel safely in. Guessing only.

    I wouldn't mind that camera. Wonder where it is today.

    Wonderful Flickr post and photo. I'd also love to know the make of that camera on the tripod in the field. Who's the photographer and what's the photoshoot all about? Great Flickr work as always by National Library of Ireland on The Commons.
