At Open House we work hard to re-connect the people of Bangor to the seafront and town centre through arts and cultural events, and Seaside Revival is a perfect way to embrace the things that made Bangor a great place in the past and help shape its future as a modern seaside city resort.” Open House Director, Kieran Gilmore said: "From the 1940s to the mid-70s, Bangor was a thriving seaside town with a strong local community and a successful tourism economy.

We need to look at them as a whole.Seaside Revival, the vintage festival celebrating Bangor’s heyday as a prominent seaside resort, returns to the new city’s seafront this summer.

The reality of all this is that we can’t hyperfocus on one specific area of images. Otherwise, the lenses were just not very old. I’m pretty sure vintage lenses were used for that look. It wasn’t distracting to me it enhanced the look of the scene. I was watching Watchmen the other day on HBO Max and fell in love with how beautiful the onion bokeh was in some of the scenes.

I mean, who ever complained about onion bokeh being a problem? For years, no photographers had problems with it. In truth, Japanese manufacturers will, for the most part, end up creating lenses that look like one another. Can you tell the difference between a Sony G Master lens and a Nikon S lens? I’m not talking about pixel peeping the photos, I’m talking about looking at them as a whole. Eventually, all the lenses end up giving a look that appears exactly the same. The reality is that look gets very boring quickly. From how I’ve interpreted it, they’ve wanted photos to be just the way the human eye sees. Over the years, Japanese manufacturers have tried to get their lenses closer to what they think is perfection.
