I love any place with people traveling.<br /><br />@Maisie: so you are into history and old buildings? You're lucky to be in england, where things go past 250 years old unlike here! Thanks for the very nice words, I'm glad you liked the pics.<br /><br />@Natalie: thank you, I really appreciate the support. Do you mean the colors on the locomotive?<br /><br />To get that nostalgic look, I made a vignette, then put some strong contrast with a nice S curve, and then a layer of black set to "hue" blend mode and brought that opacity to like 40 or something. <br /><br />In case you don't know how to make a vignette or use curves, I can help you further should you need it.Mr. Condescendinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485174691445528415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689744155520853939.post-11309923232701122772009-08-25T06:12:42.677-07:002009-08-25T06:12:42.677-07:00The one from the ceiling is breath takingly gorgeo...The one from the ceiling is breath takingly gorgeous.

It was a new, old style pinhole camera. Takes great, old fashioned photos but you have to have somewhere steady to stand it. You can create some great effects though.tennysoneehemingwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10999047427848122510noreply@blogger.com
