These are some edits I made in Photoshop of my London trip last summer. I was just trying to create the old timey look that’s all the rage now with Instagram but without the iPhone. I happen to be very iPhoneless. Take pity on me.
I do have some better images but I don’t fancy plastering my mug all over this here flog *shudder* – there’s enough of that on facebook thank you!
Anyway, it’s just a case of finding some viewfinders (that would be the black border) online and placing them over your photographs. You can play around with different filters, the colour levels and the brightness and contrast settings like I did. Or alternatively download some actions to make life a bit easier. You get a ton of results if you google ‘photoshop actions vintage‘.
Funny how HD cameras come out and then everyone wants to blur up their photos like they took it on ye olde Agifold. Immediate nostalgia. Hey everyone let’s reminisce about yesterday! I still like it though.
Nods to Kev who may have taken the photos themselves.
It's All Bright
