Stephen Rothery Photographer

Fantastic photograph from the July 7th 1913 edition of AP Magazine. It is
the Vol-Plane and is claimed to be first successful photo of an aviator.
I wonder what camera was used to take this photograph.

This website is a work in progress and not that well organized.
My excuse is that I see this as a type of scrap book. Also I would
like to encourage other wannabe webpage creators into using
free software. The next camera I decide to write about will result
in a more polished webpage. I am still on a steep learning curve
on how to use Linux which is great fun. For those interested in
free software I suggest the following

NVU DigiKam GIMP JAlbum MEPIS

For MS Windows (or Windoz) users I suggest

GIMP Paintdotnet Irfanview Xnview

I would advise MS Windows (or Windoz!) users to try Gimp or the
Paint.net option as I think these are the best and quickest way to
get into free photo editing without spending loads of money on
Paint Shop Pro, Elements or Photoshop. Most of these options are
also available for the Apple Mac OS. Most Linux software is also
available in Windows and Mac flavours so do an internet search
and you will be amazed what you can get for nothing.

For those who do not know me, I am apparently an avid yet skinflintish
camera collector who has a penchant for Eastern European cameras.
My main interest is in collecting and using rangefinder cameras from
the golden era of photography which is roughly from the mid 1930's to
the early 1960's. You can contact me at the following but please be
patient as I cannot respond instantly.
