Back in time 40's

[Sems]

Saw some signs while out today for a 1940's railway/military weekend so had to stop off. Photos taken with my 300D and sigma 24-70, I would have killed to have my 30D+70-200 back from repair for this.

Just tried some quick edits to try and get the feel of the period, wondering if it works.............

Very well done, especially 5-7.

The second one has a great time contrast with the cell phone in his hand!

All of these look fantactic...wish I would run into a weekend or day like this. Nice work.

Very nice captures of a fun event. The 300D (and you) are doing a pretty good job.

3, 4, and 5 have a quality about them that really reminds me of photos I have seen in National Geographic magazines of the period. It's a color tone that seems like it was printed off old ASA 10 (ISO 10 to you young folks) Kodachrome. However, cloning out the modern elements would be a good idea - plastic cups and containers for instance. 6 & 7 are great. Again have that something that makes me think of my grand parents' old National Geographic magazines from the WWII era, but it is a completely different feel than the others. I would be hard pressed to tell if the last one was modern or from the '40s.

fantastic shots and so very sharp.

[Freddeh]

Love them. But the plastic Coca Cola bottle in the last image gives away that it's not really the 40's ;)

[Chris71]

[Grace]
