Default Diamond in the rough

Found this little gem while apple picking on Sunday. This old farmer had a bunch of gorgeous old relics. If it hadn't started pouring I would have spent all day playing.

I absolutely love the effect you put on this. I have a hard time doing that to my pictures. What is it called again? And how do you do it? I mean I'm sure it's different every time - but in general?

She's a beautiful relic of a bygone day. Very nicely captured.

Such an old classic... back when vehicles had class and style. Like the shot, thanks for sharing.

Thank you! It was just one of many and I did do one in b&w


Another vehicle


LifePhotography08, I added a color pop and a vintage action to the first one to get that look. Don't get me wrong, it had a lot of class on its own before my pp as well.

Nothing more classic than a mid 50's Ford truck. Love the vintage look and feel to it.
