boxer_inv Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Today I managed to negotiate some 'me' time and decided to take Dorothy for a run to a very small community out of Cairns. I picked up a friend of mine who needed to have a 'guys' chat and we took a leisurely drive together. I took the opportunity to park Dorothy in front of the old hotel front in this town, liked the kind of 'art deco' facade, and took some photos. I took the liberty of playing with one of the photos to 'age' it a little - she looks nice in them. I like the 'grainy' black and white one. You gents may or may not be interested but thought I'd share. Unfortunately, I don't have a dog at the moment so there isn't a co-star such as the famous 'Cooper' to steal the scene! Rob. Quote
randroid Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Rob, Please don't ever be shy about posting altered pics because although I'm not actively into it there are a number of folks here who love to experiment with different programs to create desired effects and your work just opened a number of doors for you. Someone posted here a year or two ago about a website or program that allows you to alter your photo to make it look really old in several ways and a lot of people became interested in it. I'm probably with you on the grainy sepia rendition being the closest to looking authentic. #2 looks the sharpest but it also looks as though it just came out of an album, whereas #3 looks as though somebody carried it around for more than 60 years. There are probably a lot more of those that come from albums but the ones that get carried around are a symbol of caring and therefore more endearing. Yeah, I'll go with #3. -Randy Quote

1940plymouth Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Rob, Thanks for sharing the photos, they all look great. My niece does lots of weddings as a photograper, she says that many of the bride and grooms want a certain portion of their wedding photos in either black and white or antiqued.. By the way, thanks for mentioning Cooper:) Bob Quote
busycoupe Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Rob, The car looks great. I find it fascinating to see our old cars in different locations. Is the Aloomba Hotel still in operation? Dave Quote

Dave Yes, it certainly is. There were a few patrons there at the time, you can just see some to the RHS of the first shot. Its the quintessential 'local' bar... Quote
