I can assure you that this is NOT scanned from film. I haven't used a film camera in over 10 years. It is in fact a digital photo from start to finish. The end result took me about 10 mins in Photoshop using toning resembling old news print, and Layers with Overlay as the blending mode and 40% opacity. The only thing I didn't do here was add a gradiant, but I did darken the edges of the photo to get that "old fashioned photo" look. For this particular shot, both the location and lighting are worth more than the processing. Oh yeah, and having a model helps! :-)
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
