Thanks for the good close analysis, Omar. I know you're right about the technical elements of film (especially the antique) and digital. About the best we can hope for is an approximation, I guess. The eyeglasses, though, are not completely out of place, although they would have been rare for an ordinary soldier of the period. John Loreaux's observation about the haircut (of the guy in the right foreground) is right on, though. Good thing about your comment (and the others) is that it invites closer observation. That is a wonderful value of such an exercise. Thanks again. --g

J'aime beaucoup ce petit coin du monde et hors du temps où la rouille s'est installée pour de bon; mais j'ai pas l'impression que la grange est si vieille.
Merci, drilan

Hi George,
really effective ageing effect. I studies for some time to figure out what the subtle things are that prevent it from being 100% identical to an old photo. Apart from small details in the image itself (eg the glasses), I think its something to do with the way digital cameras render b&w and how photoshop deals with colour conversion. I'm not sure if it is actually possible to replicate the contrast of silver halide, although this gets pretty close with the grain effect. I think there is also something special with old cameras(uncoated lenses and using large format films) that subtly changes the feel. its hard to put ones finger on it, but anyway you have a pretty convincing result here!

Thanks, John. As you know, these guys are all volunteers at the historical site. Haircuts are surely a challenge, but several of them look pretty authentic--real characters! ;-)

Nice work George! You did a fine job ! Never gave much attention to the overweight soldiers mentioned by Joggie, but did notice the perfect haircut on the closest guy on the right. The grain looks great! Well done! My best...........John

Welll....I like the color and detail better in your last print, George. I think you have washed this one out a bit much. I like the pose of the troops..overweight tho they may be :-). This is a good series. Well done. Larry.

Great image and the vintage effect very well done - the only thing that gives it away may be the number of overweight soldiers. Regards.

Very intersting image George. Five organic forms from the plant: stem, leaves, planks, needles and spokes. One from man/metal the wheel. Those from man - defunct, those from the plant - all functioning! Thanks for sharing - great work!
