Cornish Mine Engine House

[Mgdh]

Hi.

Having 'de-lurked' in another forum, I though it was time I posted some pictures. Living in Cornwall, we have many photogenic old tin mine engine houses. Here's a pic I have been playing about with - hope you like it. C&C welcome.

Hmm. That sort of goes with the ageing effect I was trying to achieve. I've had a look at your website and I have a long way to go to reach your level :o , but here's the b&w before applying the 'old photo' effect. C&C welcome again, as are post processing examples.

Thanks for looking,

The first one really does look like an old photograph. Really nice effect.

Thank you Steve.

both 'shades' are very nice

I like the first best but the piece of white sky showing on the right is a little more obvious in it
it's like an old castle . nice angle you got

I actually like the first one better b/c of the old picture effect. But I agree that it looks a bit flat. I've grown to love b/w's recently so they are both nice looking.

Hi, Mark. I loved the sepia tone on it!!!!

And in my opinion composition was great, you've zoomed in on the castle to fill the picture......

Liked it a lot.

Congrats.

Thank you vey much. I just used the auto settings for the conversion - maybe I'll have a look at tweaking it a bit.

I love both images, the first one certainly has an authentic old photograph feel to it, and I like the border too.

Had a quick look and they his work is indeed very impressive. I'll have a look through the whole thread when I have a bit of time to take it in - then probably re-read it more times to get bits I've missed.
