Something Old - Photo assignment for July 2007

Yes, I know it's only midway through June but since this is a new feature on PAF, we're going to give y'all a little extra time on the first one.

The theme for this assignment is Something Old. The idea is for you to go out and use your camera and create new images along this theme.

OK - I just got home from roaming around the country with my camera and so will include something fresh from today - an OLD BARN that really caught my eye with it's green wash paint set against the beautiful green vegetation. The lighting was perfect too. Looks just like a painting to me instead of a photo. The sky looks like I smeared yellow chalk pastels on it.

This is an old pump house in Eastern Oregon just off of the Columbia River. It was used for irrigation. Does anyone have any opinions about whether it should be black and white or maybe sepia??? I thought that the tree framed it nicely.

Cindy - do you mind explaining how you processed that image, maybe as a separate thread? I really like that look and it definitely looks like an image you'd see sitting in the bottom of a shoe box from your grandparents' wedding - the effect, not the image itself Grin

Hi Ryan,
I wish there was some mastery on my part, but I simply hit the image with "Old School HQ" from the new Boutwell action set. :-)
