Sepia?

[Xavier]

I simply love those old grainy Sepia pics and decided to give it a shot on one of my sky pics.

After a pseudo HDR followed by some processing in PS (changing the tone, adding grain, etc), here's what I got.

I'm pretty pleased with the result, hope you people like it too.
Oh and please post your Sepia pics here.

Bad choice of subject for a Sepia, I know. But I was playing around with a few sliders my newly installed Lightroom and kinda liked this one. :)

Nope, one of my very good friends, Sagar on his R15. :)

It does. Nice shot!

Two questions:

1.What time of the day was this shot?

2.Which mosque is this?

@Xavier: Great portrait. I missed out on this earlier.



@Arijit: Is this SOOC or you worked to get the sepia tones?

[arijit]

@arijit: Beautiful shot. I liked the grainy feel to it. The old world feel goes with the cigarette.

Arijit, great shot there! Kinda reminds me of Synns style, not to take anything away from your style, I meant it as a compliment.

[synn]

Lovely!

Titus is right, The angle and processing are exactly how I'd have seen them!

I don't mean anything else by that, btw. Just really connected with the image that much. :)

[arijit]

@ken-thanks:)
@shutterbug- thats a big compliment yar...i am fan of few people here... if this photo reminds you of synn...i am honored:):)
@synn-glad you liked:)

Good idea! However I am not a great fan of Sepia in such circumstances. I will tell you why... I associate Sepia with aging. And here, the spiral bound with the style of the pen is not depicting signs of aging. Sepia here seems artificial, you get the drift? But this is my personal call. As I said, it is an interesting idea and a decent photograph and a decent sepia treatment as well.

interesting vision ken...i am not fully convinced but surely it has given me a perspective to think upon!!!:)
i personally tried to highlight the golden through 'somewhat' sepia!!!:o
on second thoughts...i should upload it again after 10-15 years...then it would go right!!! LOLZ:D

Yeah! Something like that! :D :D

[Xavier]

Or maybe, it would be more convincing if it were an old fashioned ink pen and an old tattered diary?

[KrishnenduKes]

I agree to this too! :) I meant something like that actually.

Excellent shot Ashish. (Other than the Sepia bit) :)

[ashishtamhane]

Thank you!:)

Why did you not like the sepia?:confused:

Thank you!:)

I am not a sepia person. I never liked it! Even in the older days.

[ashishtamhane]

I thought something is wrong with my photo's Sepia conversion.:)

[ashishtamhane]

Another one. I hope that this image size is fine. It is 1024 on the long side.

A Deserted House.

Is this part of your hometown story project?

[ashishtamhane]

Is this part of your hometown story project?

Yes it is.

This house is about 70 years old and is deserted. A Banyan tree has grown right across it's roof. There are certain rumours that the house is haunted!

All this elements enhances the photography experience!

Very well. I will try harder.

For me the shot of the flip-flops is not doing anything to me you see! Even with a powerful caption.

It says "This photo is currently unavailable"! I can see it if I click on the flickr link you provided, though.

Liked your shot quite a lot. :)
I have a few faint memories of this place from 15 years ago! Looking at the photos that my father had taken then, I still never cease to be awed.

EDIT: Uh-oh, by the time I was typing this, you fixed the link!

Cannot recall this.

Good shot btw!

[sandeep_141]

A slight tint of sepia..
does this qualify here?

Can... May... Would... !!!

But the shot does not look bad... reminds me of the shots from Antonioni movies of the 60s! (Red Desert)
