232/365 - Jim - Old Garage

( f/16 105mm 1/50 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

I used the Argus Seventy-five camera again to get the borders. This is one of my neighbor's garage and the only thing around my house that looks old enough to look this way. I took this image with my Nikon, but pointed at the viewfinder of the Argus. Then used Lightroom to apply the Antique Light preset which gives it the sepia tone and low contrast. I was trying to somewhat match the vintage look of Tyler's photo. I may have gone about 20 - 30 years too far back...

117/365 - Jim - Argus Borders

( f/22 105mm 1/250 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

Theme is borders. I set up an old Argus Seventy-five camera and shot at the viewfinder. Since it is so old, there is all kinds of dust and crud on the glass. I cleaned off what I could reach, but it left the edges dirty and whatever was on the inside of the camera. This gives it an old photo look. If I wanted it to make it look even older, I could have warmed the image. I have been wanting to try this for a while and finally got the chance. There is a group on flickr called Through the Viewfinder that has a collection of photos like this.
