Photography Effects In Photoshop
Seasoned photography experts! What do you need to take authentic “vintage” photos? (No photoshop!)?
I’m desperate and determined to find away to get pictures that have that beautiful, almost warped, color and grainy-ness of photos in the sixties and in old Rolling Stone magazines. I
especially love my parents old pictures which are square-shaped rather than rectangular and on thicker, almost rough canvas-like paper. It isn’t the effects of aging that I’m describing.
I’m clueless about what technology and materials I need to do this! I’m hoping it isn’t in the developing process, because I’d never find a place that uses outdated technology to develop photos. Is it the old film, the old camera, an outdated developing process–or a combination of these? I know this is very complicated, nit-picky question, but you’ll be making a young lady’s day if you can help! Thank you!!
Here’s an example of what I’m looking for: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/185/483198575_5c7d26829c.jpg or
(I don’t want to photoshop or do any tints.)
If I remember correctly, the square format came from the Kodak Instamatic camera, which was 126 rather than 35 mm. The film came in a plastic cartridge that you just dropped into the camera. Of course, there were also some consumer level Polaroid cameras being used back then as well. Those pix would definitely have a thicker back because after developing they were mounted on card stock
Yeah, I was taking pictures back then. And have many shots of my first trip to Hawaii (while on R&R from Viet Nam in March 1968) and the first house I owned, and early pictures of my children – all taken with my trusty little Instamatic 104. BTW, that camera had a fixed focus, fixed aperture, fixed shutter speed. There were absolutely no adjustments possible. The film also came in only one ISO, designed specifically for that camera. The only thing that moved when you pressed the shutter release was the little spring-loaded mechanical shutter. Unless, of course, you were using a flash “cube” which mounted on the top of the camera and contained four bulbs. After you took a shot, the cube rotated to the next unused bulb. After four shots you removed that cube and plugged in another one.
There were many models of the Instamatic. Some were pretty fancy. But I could only afford the basic ones, like the 100 or the 104.
The texture of the paper you’re referring to was a commonly used pebbly kind of surface.
Far as I know neither the camera, format, nor paper still exist, except as collectibles.
BTW, the color shift of the kids on the beach pic you included is what you see these days in almost all of those old prints.
Sorry to have to tell you this, but perhaps the only way you’re going to be able to come close to replicating this look is with Photoshop, textured inkjet paper, and a lot of experimentation.
Photography Effects In Photoshop
in photoshop/ photography/ lights and shadows?
what do you call that effect in a photo that makes the image looks dark or almost a shadow because the background light is too much? example: a man sitting near a window. The light from outside the window is too much and it even floods the entire room leaving only the man’s shadow/ silhouette.
Sounds like you’re thinking of backlighting/silhouetting. You can achieve this by photographing your subject with a strong, soft light behind them (so that the subject is between the light and the camera). To intensify the effect, try underexposing the shot by one or two stops to turn the subject into a solid black shape.
Not sure if you could do this in Photoshop without losing image quality. I’d try altering the curves into a strong S-Curve; which will give you the contrast you need, but if the original photo isn’t lit correctly you probably won’t get the effect you’re looking for.
Good luck!
