Retro chairs by helstor365

Retro chairs

Those chairs wasn't there the last time I walked past there.
How interesting, did someone just dump them there?

Is this the camera you are not fond of? I'm not being critical here and I hope you understand if I say that this did not look like one of your images when I first scrolled down to it.... It seems to lack the crispness and wonderful clarity of your normal images. I hope I haven't been insulting here but it just seemed so different. :)

This building has been empty for a few years but recently a leisure club for children and teenagers moved in . The leisure club has an art school and various art projects so I think the chairs might be a part of that. There is is also a group that organize voluntary services for adults and the elderly in the building and they also run a cafeteria there. I haven't been in yet but I probably should check it out.

@robz Thanks for your comment Rob. You are spot on! There is actually nothing wrong with the camera, it is a good one but I have so many good cameras and this one just doesn't "inspire" me.

I usually don't do much editing on my shots, just adjust shadows and highlights, correct or adjust colours and add a bit of contrast, sharpening and noise reduction (if needed). I had just done a retro edit of the shot of the VW bus (basically crushing the blacks, reducing contrast and clarity and desaturating the colours) and I accidentally applied that edit to the chair image. I kind of liked it so I kept it :-)

Hi Helge - thanks so much for your reply- that makes perfect sense. I was really interested in the fact that you can do a series of changes to edit a shot - and then save the complete series to apply to another shot. I'm pretty sure i can't do that in my old program - but will have a bit of an investigate - it would be handy. I also liked your description of how you produce a vintage look - they all make so much sense when you list them like that... Thanks again Cheers Rob
