Ossie, Nice treatment. Are these photographs of photographs?

Thank you. No, I have tried to give the illusion of old photographs. I like to think the treatment recreates the atmosphere of a bygone age. The frames/mounts were produced in photoshop.

Ossie

In that case you did an excellent job. I was completely fooled into thinking that you took photos of photos.
The treatment certainly conveys the nostalgia of the bygone era.

With best regards,
Sury

Great pictures and processing. I'm with Mike on the bus stop shot.

mikehawthorne and the_hefay Thank you too.

The "Tommy", one of the volunteers at the museum, admitted to me that he was "improperly dressed". It was a warm day and he had removed his army blouse. I can't say I blamed him for that but it would have been nice to have photographed him in full uniform.

Hi Ossie;

I'm almost always impressed by your subtle processing. You follow your instincts and it turns out just right.

I like them all but the first and second are really neat scenes with the impression of pertaining to a certain period in time, thanks to you. The third is also neat though. I would of loved to have a fashion or artistic photo shoot in there...

Thanks for sharing,

Yildiz

Hi Yildiz

Thank you for your kind comments.

Ossie

Three more from the same trip but different processing and I hope a different feel.

Lovely set Ossie. One small in-congruence for me is the carts in the second
one look very new to be in that frame. If you can make them weathered down,
it would enhance the image. IMHO.

With best regards,
Sury

Sury

Thanks and well spotted. They had recently been painted and were looking "new".

Definitely a different feel, Ossie.

Genuinely interesting location. A functioning farm, I presume?
