Britannia Shipyards

I have posted many pictures of the historic site of Britannia Shipyards so today I thought I would try something a little different and attempt make the photos look historic. Using the program DXO Filmpack, which emulates over 200 types of film from the early days of photography to the present day, I tried to make this image of the labourers housing look like the kind of faded snapshot you might find in a box of your great-grandfather's possessions.

How wonderful, I have plenty of these. Did you take the shot knowing how you wanted to process it?

This composition looks as if it has been taken from a very old newspaper! Well done!

[Chris Cook]

@ludwigsdiana I did. I took a number of images trying to keep signs or anything modern out of the shot with an eye to making it look like an old photo.

Classic old newspaper vintage look, well done

[Mags]

Looking very vintage. Well done!

[Kathy]

This looks very vintage.

I think you have definitely achieved that old and faded look but I think I prefer the one of the shipyard. It has a vintage look too but still keeps more detail.

What a great result. It looks as though it is a picture from an old newspaper article.
