Something a little different!

Took a trip last Sunday to Woodend and Malmsbury about 75km North West of Melbourne. I decided to play around a little in Photoshop (still pretty basic sort of stuff!).
Please let me know what you think!

Jane like the bridge and house though think the house needs straightening. For some reason I find the wire clamp strangely appealling, even when I dont want to

The second shot really works for me - very antique looking. Nice stuff.

Like the second shot Jane, looks real old and historic.

Thanks guys, and welcome to the forums thelastname!
Glen, the house shot most likely is crooked
, but adds to the 'old' feel...that's what I'll tell myself anyway!! I had this type of treatment in mind when we drove past it...great looking place!

Funny how we are all different (well, it appears GLen and I are similar, poor bastard)...I really like the 3rd one too...has a strange appeal indeed. Nicely done Jane.

I like the grainy effect in #2, was that a high ISO or PP?

Of the three shots the one that has a good deal of merit is #2

the house in the 2nd pic looks crooked but i think that adds to the quirky characteristic of the image, the treatment is great too, excellent work

Great stuff Jane. Your skills behind the camera as well as away from the camera have certainly developed in leaps and bounds.
I like the house pic out of the 3. Maybe it's crooked 'cos they didn't have horizontal spirits back then?

love the house pic. has on old school feel about it. i think the lean might actually be in the house if my eyes arent deceiving me.
number 3 also really appeals to me, cant put my finger on why.

Thanks Fellas!
The house image is all done in PPing. Shot on ISO 200, I desaturated it, played around with the colour balance to get a soft sepia tone, added a little noise, sharpened, levels, curves etc (not in that order). It took me all of about 3 minutes! The effect on the bridge was mainly done with curves, once I had altered the colour. All a good exercise in learning more about Photoshop
