More info | Apr 17, 2010 11:00 | #5 It looks like the sun was shining directly on the front of your lens. There's so much glare. Is this what you mean by vintage look? I can think of a half dozen approaches that one could describe as vintage. Which is it? One thing that comes to mind with vintage look is that the optics and film were more primitive back then. So you must do something to reduce the strong color rendition and sharpness of digital for an image to look vintage to me. Joe

So you must do something to reduce the strong color rendition and sharpness of digital for an image to look vintage to me. There's another problem with this photo. What's the subject? The Azaleas on the left have the focus. However, they're a small part of the image and they're all the way over to the side. Study up on composition. Also, before you take the shot, imagine in your mind's eye what you want out of the final product. This will guide your camera settings, point of view, and composition. Keep at it. I agree with most of this, but I'll throw out there that "rules" of composition are really just suggestions, not hard lines to follow all of the time. This picture might not be the very best example, but it's definitely doable to compose a subject to the edge of the frame and have it look good.
