Days gone by

Uploaded: September 27, 2004

Description

A less-than-favourable day's weather to get a chance to capture some images of a friends restored classic car. But with the use of Photoshop Elements and a few changes in the colour variations ended with a better than expected final result and a complete nostalgic feel.

Very nicely done, Karen-Jane!!! It looks great in that landscape and the toning is perfect for it. #173193

Nice captured old car! #808547

Paula Showen September 27, 2004

I love the old feel you have given this image! Nice work on the sepia tone. #808566

WOW! I love the Sepia tone. What a great image. Looks like the pictures my parents use to have in an old tin or shoebox. Great work, Karen-Jane! Thanks for sharing. #808719

The gravel road is the finishing touch for this great image - well done! #808734

Many grateful thanks, Duane, Ralf, Paula, Mark and Bonnie for the very kind comments. I had a great time taking this image apart from the weather, which was cold and damp. But thanks to Photoshop, I was very happy with the final results. We are very lucky here on the island to have such wonderful landscapes to use as a great backdrop and really set the car off. Many thanks. #812048
