I wanted the photo to look like it might have been taken 50 years ago—when the signs would have read considerably different. I thought that a boarder would help achieve this look. As I was working on this one, I thought that it might be very interesting to see photos of the market taken every five years since it was originally built.
Enjoy.
Camera settings: Nikon D3, Nikon 28-70mm f/2.8 at 70mm with a polarizing filter attached, shot at ISO 200, f/9.5 and 1/125th of a second on a tripod.
Post Processing:
Lightroom—Set white and black points, added mid-tone contrast, clarity.
Photoshop—ran nik Color Efex Pro tonal contrast filter on the butterfly to add contrast to shadows, mid-tones and highlights and added boarder using onOne Photo Frame Pro,
I think the treatment you used was the right one for this shot. It does give it that old timey look. I don't think any other version would have worked as well.
ReplyDeleteNice job.

I agree with Doug, your edge and the sepia toning is a great treatment for this image. I am not sure that your camera and post processing information goes with this image --- I don't see a butterfly anywhere...
ReplyDeleteI like this one a lot. It reminds me of a store that I went to as a boy.
