I have this image scheduled for August 1 on my Project 365 blog on Wordpress, but am posting over here so you can see an example of what I was talking about in my comments the other day.
This shot was taken with the Nikon L16 – f2.8, 1/218 sec, ISO-64, 6mm fl.
For this image of an old rail trestle, I did a little post-exposure manipulation to give the image a ‘vintage’ feel to it.
I de-saturated the image to remove the color, added some sepia and pushed the contrast. I then ‘brightened’ the image just a bit. I am rather pleased with the result. It took me about 30 minutes on this one. I had to clean up some 'speckling' the different processes left behind.
Here is the before shot -
