ttv of an old house
Oh yeah I don't take anything away from the tehnical, lighting and good composition of the original. The shot was great as it was I am sure but the old film look suited it superbly and it's that look I find myself more and more attracted to these days. I am a mostly a landscape photographer and I would like to achieve this same look on a landscape image. I have seen it done before but rarely well. The ones that did work though were breathtaking.
Thanks for helping :)
No you didn't miss anything.
Maybe it is just me, but it seems that as the new months assignment comes along we forget about the last month. I thought it might be interesting to look at all the submissions at the end of the month in the context of the topic. Maybe the comments we make as each submission is are posted are sufficient?? Maybe a poll? :twocents: Of course this means more work for someone.
If you have photoshop, here's an easy way of achieveing the same kind of look you can easily do at home.
Find an old (preferably) brown paper shopping bag and photograph the surface of it with wrinkles and creases. (Make sure it is well lit) Then open the shot in Photoshop, resize and convert it to Black and White using the Desaturate option. Open your Landscape image, create a new Layer and then use this Paper Bag image as your overlay for your landscape image and set the Opacity to your preference, I use around 40%. You can use sepia toning for your landscape shot before doing the overlay. Merge the Layers. Next, you'll need to to Burn or Darken the edges of the photo by selecting the Burn tool and using a soft brush paint around the perimeter of the photo (Try to be consistent). And that's it! Good luck with it, I hope it works for you! :-)
My part of nostalgia, this reminds me when I was still a small girl always wanted to go on these merry-go-rounds

very cool shot Ray - I like!
jventer, I like this one too really cute! maybe a slight contrast boost would make it pop just a bit harder tho.
One of our functions tomorrow involves the use of a few props. This old desk was one of the items brought in.
