An important press release and some high quality images.
My day at James and Sons started with putting out a press release about a significant development (see added media) and ended with imaging some cigarette cards.
My personal twitter following (@aspitweets) continues to grow at a satisfying rate. I have a special post in mind to usher in the new year but until then enjoy these…
NORFOLK AUCTIONEERS APPOINTED FOR SUFFOLK ANTIQUES SHOWS AT NEWMARKET
I have spent my entire working day imaging auction lots for James and Sons November Auction (Saturday 29th November, Prince of Wales Suite, Fakenham Racecourse, starts 10AM sharp). I have already tweeted some of the images and will be doing some more before today is out. Meanwhile collected here is a a selection of the best images…
Yesterday I attended a meeting of the King’s Lynn Photography Club. They had a chap up from London to give a presentation about conventional and unconventional photography which was quite good. It was excessively hot in the room where this meeting took place, and I had come straight from a tough day at work. Because of this I left at the end of the presentation.
I was very glad to get out into the cool of the evening, and had a late supper outside. I managed to grab a good picture which shows that is not only flags that fly from flagsticks.
After an organising meeting at Raynham Hall for the Great Centenary Auction this morning it was back to James and Sons for another days work. My work images from the last two days are of cigarette card lots, of which some are worth showing. Owing to the sheer number of cards in each lot I generally select one card from each set contained within the lot and make an image of all the cards I have chosen. Facebook and twitter continue to make progress, and we are beginning to get more stuff.
Now for the images…
The process of imaging lots for the June sale continues. The catalogue has gone to the printers (proof read and corrected by me first), and should be available for distribution by Wednesday at latest. I did a very varied lot of imaging of today, using both scanner and camera. One of my images shows two sheets of stamps of different sizes, which were imaged by different methods. The scanned sheet of stamps were penny rose reds, while the larger photographed sheet were penny red browns.
At this auction I will be running the auction side of my database live for the first time, thus moving a step closer to the time when my system does everything.
Things are starting to move on the social media side of the Great Centenary Auction, with http://www.facebook.com/GreatAuction having over doubled its tally of likes in the last week, and http://www.twitter.com/great_auction steadily increasing its number of followers.
Enjoy some high quality images of stuff that will be going under the hammer at the Maids Head Hotel, Norwich on June 21st…
Everyone at James and Sons was hugely impressed by the new camera, and I got some good pictures with it, as you will see below.
Having spent most of the day taking pictures with the camera I finished with scanning some of the smaller lots.
As usual I have some highlights for you…
