lost in time series

this is one of the lost in time series that i started to work on just for something to help me take photos of something.Also to tell how the things seems to vanish with out notice in this world . I have found that after i started to do this i am watching for more of this type of things and really take the time to think of what they might have been in thier "hay days"

Let em know what you think of them

Interesting shot. How many pictures do you have in this series? What did you do to the original to achieve the above "aged" effect?

right now i think i have six or eight,

as far as the aged effect , here gose nothing LOL

faded,sepia toned,film grain,grunge brush, burned in some spots to cut the glare down.

this was all done in p/s, i will post the orignal i have to resizes it real quick

did you take a digital picture. If yes, then does your camera support SEPIA mode.

I am asking this coz I have heard that pictures taken in sepia mode in digital camera gives better result than converting it to sepia in PS.

Also this picture has a slight bluish tinge..... maybe you need to look at the color balance.

thanks

no the digital rebel dose not have a sepia mode almost wish it did i have done alot of converting after the fact. it also dont have a B&W mode that i have heard other saying they have . that would be nice also

Yeah, the only digital camera that I have that has b&w and sepiais is my old sony mavica... sometimes it can look quite cool even for that camera. That being said... if I were going to convert to sepia especially, I would probably rather take the color shot first and convert later anyways...

im not sure i would even use it if it had this feature i seem to like more controll over the way the final turns out

Yeah, exactly... I'm the same way, Mickey. ;)

interesting shot. Have you toyed around with giving it a more aged looking border to complete the feel?

and I agree... I'd rather convert to sepia or B&W etc. in post and still have the color orriginal. Never know what works best till you see em all :)

no i hadent thougtht about building a fancy border for this i have pretty much done the typical drop shadows etc.. noting to fancy . i will have to try it to see what it looks like when it is done. Thanks for the sugestion .

Exactly... it's always fun to play around with the shot afterwards... so if you take it in b&w or sepia, you're limited in what you can do in post production.

that is verry true

I can do all kinds of things with it right now as a color image i can use pretty much all of the filters i have on it

cool cool. I think it would add alot to it. maybe just a smaller choppy faded one?

Yeah... try a couple out... a choppy, faded one might look cool. :) Like a really old poster/picture from the midwest or something. ;)

Big Ups to the Mid-West 8)

LOL i have been trying to figure out how to make rolled edges for a while i have a tutoral here but i think it is only half right i get to where you select the flap and then go in to the fill flap to get the curl right but i cant get p/s to allow me to select the section i need so i i have to figure out why or find a diffrent way LOL we shall get something done, I did figure out the burned edges thoug
