Works pretty good to me.... maybe a boost in contrast or blacks? Looks like it's made of chocolate... Mmmm...


I tend to ramble. Feel free to put me on ignore.

My dear hubby is 40 today. Let's all wear black. :lol: :lol:

What's wrong with 40? Many of us will never see that again, unless we adopt it as a "reversal point".

Happy Birthday, Wade! The best years are yet to come.

I like it (of course :lol:). It is too clean if you are trying to create an 'old look' in the shot, but not unacceptably so. You could try adding a little noise, but only if you're trying for the look of an old, worn photo.

Interesting effect from the lens you used. The normal perspective seems a little whacked. Apparently you used a fairly long lens, and it actually makes the engine look tapered (i.e. larger in the back than the front).

I really had to look closely to determine this was a live steamer, and not a real loco.


I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

Ah... 40. Those crazy, carefree days! Not a care in the world! Thought we'd live forever. The world was our oyster when we were that young. If I only knew then what I know now....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WADE!!

I am trying for an old photo look. And it does look like clean chocolate.. Back to the drawing board.

Don't worry, Dan. It's only a temporary frustration. When you reach my age, you'll have forgotten it again.

Happy Birthday, Wade. FWIW, you're just a kid. :wink:

Not really. Older photos tend to fade, and the contrast washes out a bit. You might want to try that.

Come on, let's get that #1 spot!

You got two votes from me today. I voted at work from my laptop via the hospital's guest wifi. But, when I tried to vote again from my workstation, every time I clicked on the vote button it just went right back to the "select a shelter" screen, kinda like it knew I'd already voted. I don't know how it would have known, though. Two different computers even separate networks.

Oh, well. I just got the second vote in once I got home...
