D I G I T A L P H O T O G R A P H Y — More photos from my walk around town the other day. I gave these digital images more character, looking faded and worn, perhaps hand-tinted or painted, perhaps much more aged than they obviously are. These photos could have been taken last Thursday or some Thursday seventy-five years ago.
CAN I TAKE A WALK WITH YOU WITH MY SCOOTER. YOUR PICTURES GIVE ME CHILL BUMPS. I JUST TOLD GRAMPS IF I HAD TO CHOOSE WHICH PICTURE TO BUY I JUST COULDN'T. I'D HAVE TO GO FOR BROKE.

Casey, this is a great series. I visualized you running in and out of people's yards to take these photo's and couldn't help but chuckle a little bit. The hydrangea photo is spectacular ! What did you superimpose over the photos to create the antique effect ? - I'm detecting a pattern.
ReplyDeletethanks, I really like the way these turned out. You're right about the patterns. I have a huge book of paper for scrapbooking, all wonderfully designed letter-sized pages. I've scanned several to use as overlays for projects like this. The rest is filters of some sort in photoshop.
ReplyDeleteI've seen photographs, and other paper items, fade in an old attic, and sometimes the ink from a newspaper or magazine above will burn into the lower image if the conditions are right. I try to use a lot of 'tricks' when I'm aging a new digital image in an effort to replicate what I've seen for real.
I love these Casey, I could easily make my home in one of those garages. I think the Classic Thirties has my name on it, since I am a 1938 model. lol
