Vintage - A Revisit

[Yi-P]

From the earlier post in the week at Vintage - All In Line, I'm spending a few more mintues in PP time so to see what else can I make out of them.

The original BW


Adding few fine grains and a duotone touch-up, cloned out the lettering on the ground.


Original BW


Vintage like circa 1930s (I tried to make it look old, I have no idea what films in those ages looked like)


C&C please

the film grain one seems to be good but somehow i much prefer the first 3

still a fan of that absolutely balanced composition in image 1
if you are to pp our whole set the sepia tone works
but for a black car i would keep all images a simple black and white
no need for extra effects on an excellently composed and executed image

Thanks Wendell, will take those into account

I like #2 the best, it seems to suit to my tastes the shot better then the treatment in #1

I think you have done a good job taking #3 to #4, it really looks like a photo my great grandparents might have had, except I doubt it would be that sharp. (not a huge fan of the numberplat on the front. but.. other then closing it out.. not much can be done.

I love #2 - I think the tones suit that image really well. Not a real fan of the last one - the grain is too much of a distraction. The smoothness of a low-iso shot and the shiney-ness of the cars really go well together.

I think the last one has the most authentic old print look. Maybe still a tad to sharp, but very nice tone.

Cheers
Steffen.
