Looks like an old weathered postcard from a place lost in time. Folks, this is called Sepia in your editing software. You’ve used it prefectly, Carsten.

I think it’s bronze. The photo I mean, not home. And it does match the sepia tones of the old family photos I encounter. I wish I could truly know what those photos looked like when they were brand new. Even more, I would like to see the tintypes with a contemporary eye. Contemporary, that is, to the time when the image was made.

I would not like to live in Antrim County in 1890, no indeed. But I would very much like to glimpse it, just for a bit, as if I did.

And now welcome home. I’ll bet there is a bright red Nisse hat lying in a corner somewhere. What do you suppose they’ve been up to while you were gone . . .

There’s no place like home.

It is not giving too much away to say that I reached home at last! –Or did I now kill the excitement?
I tried to find the color of some of our old family pictures. I think this tone comes pretty close.

I’m glad you like it Scott.
In case you’re interested in the technical side of it..:
I took several shots and aligned them using the piano keys as guide. Then I mixed the layers adjusting the tranparency of the ‘secondary’ fingers.

The black and white (or rather brown) gives the photo magic and mystery with the headline: I wonder how the ride home proceeds?!
Images that set the imagination in motion – are good!

I’m glad you like it Isa.
Now I recall the evening we celebrated my wifes 25 years birthday. He was playing the piano all night and all the other guests were dancing. What a party. 1978 is far back in time now …

It was shot in a dark room with sparse red and green light on the musicians.
These days I’m concentrating on B&W photos. You can have a look here: http://herlevfotoklub.dk/klubkonkurrencer/2011-12-glas-4/
