50 years in the making

Nandita

Mother-daughter portrait 50 years ago and today. They are now 80 and 55 yrs. old respectively. Would love your comments.

System

a very neat idea and neat shot-

I agree, very nice idea. My only suggestion would perhaps be to take the old picture out of the frame so there's no glare from glass.

Nandita

Thanks. Actually, it isn't my idea. I saw it one of Nick Kelsh's books and got an opportunity to try it out.

I'd love more c&c.

Another idea - remove the glass from the frame and re-insert the photo back into the frame. With luck, the photo is old enough not to hold to much of a gloss finish, thus reducing the glare. If so, try using a CP filter to reduce the glare a bit (understanding that this will cost you 1 to 2 stops of light).

Scan the photo and insert it in photoshop.

That's just too easy, Owen. Kinda like cheating:D

But would probably work.... The image could even be made larger for better inspection and comparison with the present subjects themselves.

Nice idea for the shot.

Shooting with a framed portrait is kind like shooting with glasses on some one....just tip the top forward a bit and EUREKA!!! no glare.......:D

However I am sure the mother and daughter will love what you have shot already...it is a great idea, even if it wasn't yours originally...but in reality is any of our ideas truly original......Hmmmmmmmmm
