Getting a vintage look and feel – first trials

I have created a camera set-up to help me get a vintage look and feel to some of my garden photography. The essence of this look is achieved using camera techniques, not the use of Photoshop or similar software, nor apps with filters – just using the camera in an unusual manner. Obviously, different colour effects, exposure controls and cropping is done on the computer. I may describe it in a future post but here are the results of a few test runs. I am still developing the technique but it has promise:

First vintage look
With a strong sepia conversion
Another view with a different vintage look
And a strong sepia look
Another view with a strong vintage look
Again with a strong sepia look

I am an amateur photographer whose photography is mostly of gardens, nature and the rural environment. My specialities are close-ups, panoramic views, or a combination of both that I call 'Nearscapes'. I work mostly for my own interest having closed my business PM Studios Ltd.
