Old age is not confined to humans!


Indeed, that's why I said "anything" changed over time.  ;)
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Ol' blue eyes

Went out this morning to shoot something/someone old, but the weather wasn't obliging. It was simply too wet. To keep my camera dry, I had to lurk under awnings, but everyone else was lurking there as well. It was quite warm and muggy, so people were congregating there, to catch up on the latest gossip.

People going about their business, were all hidden in umbrellas, and virtually invisible. Got a few 'Bus Pass Pensioners,' but the shots were nothing much.

So, I had to use my studio (bedroom floor in this case), to photograph some old stuff that is lurking (lots of lurking today! You would have felt totally at ease, Mick.) in the cupboard.

To keep in style, I gave the end result a vintage look.

I am in with:

Weather! Why couldn't we have had the umbrella competition this week?

(It's been lashing down all day, and a big dog show (for dogs of all sizes) in the park I wanted to photograph today.)

'Hands Of Time'

OK, I had a go with an effect called 'dragan', to create in image in the style of Andrzej Dragan. I took an image, hand held, of my mums hands and applied the technique using inverted layers/masks before making the image B&W and dodging/burning some areas. I think this is a 'marmite' thing, like HDR, you either love it or hate it and can use it subtly or exaggerated.

My original idea, when I said I needed a week to pull it together was no good. I had planned on a triptych (or however you spell it...) of a flower open, dying them dead but my lilies are all blooming and lasting ages so it didn't work! Hence the replacement image.

I'm assuming that Jeff (kerbside) was the winner this week with his amazing pic of the suitcases.
Just wondering if Jeff will share how he did this (ie what post production work he did to get that look).


Hinfrance

The voting doesn't actually close until tomorrow morning UK time, but unless there is a sudden rush of voting it looks like Jeff has nailed it.

It would be interesting to know how he got that look.

Would like to thank all the persons that voted for my Suitecases, I will think of a suitable topic and post later this evening.

As for the PP it is about 4 layres stacked on top of each other to create the crazed look of the glossy picture, tinted with a light cream colour to give the old yellow look to the borderland then added a vignette to give it the old camera look, it's a combination of Photoshop and Snapseed.

Hope this answers some questions.
