A bike in this one, of the Motorised Variety, lol. The interesting perspectives between the two shots are Carol, the Church spire & wall are upright in both photos, yet the House on the right hand side in this leans back, where as in the earlier shot Leans more forward. This I presume is due to the characteristics in the lenses of the Cameras used?

ClickKen04 Tell me about it, Ken! I tried to overlay half of one photo over the other in Photoshop, and while they were a very snug fit, the "leaning" you're talking about nearly brought on a bout of vertigo...

Carol have you tried applying vertical alignment to both the images after they have been merged ? Click Ken Uprights in photographs are dictated by the back of the camera being at right angles to the ground otherwise convergence or leaning outwards will occur. This is not a characteristic of the lens but a common fault created at the time of taking by the photographer. In darkroom days it was corrected by tilting the baseboard on which the photographic paper was held to correct the verticals, so this flaw would be present in many old negatives as correction took place in the darkroom and not the camera. Later plate cameras incorporated a rising front and dropping back which allowed correction to take place in camera. SLR cameras had special lenses called tilt and shift which allowed correction at time of taking and are still used by some in this digital age. but most photographers use the vertical alignment feature which is present in many post processing programs, photoshop being just one of them.

ClickKen04 Ken as the shooter chose a slightly different position to take the shot the angles are slightly different which may have caused the change in leaning. On the other had in the intervening years we had a great deal of political change and the house may have changed sides;-)))

The best of the newer Photos so far, in my opinion.

After returning back from Nam in 69.bought a brand new Honda 350 Scrambler almost like this one.

Very good camera lens

I wish I had bought one!

Great image - is Menasco in the middle or on the right?
