    Old style

    Trying to get the old style effect, does it work ? Just B/W conversion, sepia, reduced opacity for fading. Yeah I know car is a bit central. Think it needs a few scratches and stuff

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    Good shot...I would add a bit of contract so not quite so flat.

    Re: Old style

    It definitley looks old. Many people spend a lot of time trying to restore old photos and here you are trying to achieve the opposite. Rather ironic!
    I see JOhn's point about the contrast but then it wouldn't look as old.
    Keep Shooting!

    Thanks Writer and Frog I was trying to imitate an old faded print so the contrast was
    deliberate.

    Where are the scratches and the tears, without them they cannot be old :-)

    I like the subject matter.
