These are really well done. Very nice.....

I think the processing also contributes much to the set....in a good way....except perhaps in number 4 where it seems to exagerrate the details in the background....making it a bit busy.

3 and 6 are my favorites.


Thanks for sharing.

Very nice images - but I can definitely do without the processing.

Thanks very much for looking and for commenting!

goldilocksandmy3bears, in a nutshell, I played with the following tutorial: http://photographersnest.blogspot.com/2008/02/david-hill-technique.html and then added a parchment background layer to the result. The opacity of the parchment layer was set to Overlay. Initially that made the picture very pale so I brought back some detail by adjusting the Levels on the parchment layer. I'm still new to this type of effect and haven't worked out a more efficient way to do it yet.

Nice imagery
Did you use Topaz Adjust for some of your post procesing? Here's one of my Topaz Adjusted Civil War Images from a reenactment in Vista, CA.

Nice shot!!!

Nope. Didn't use Topaz. Did it on my own with a little help from a tutorial and a parchment background layer.

I love the grizzled look of the re-enactors displayed here.


I was wondering if you were going to suggest B&W perhaps, BD?:D
