America’s Wonderlands

IMG_9319

Olen ehkä kertonut teille ennenkin, että suosikkikirjani koko maailmassa on National Geographic Societyn America’s Wonderlands, The National Parks. Tässä eräänä iltana selailin kirjaa ihaillen vanhanajan kuvia ja päätin opetella editoimaan sellaisia itse. Tein pikaista lisätutkimusta Lightroomin Preseteistä sekä vintagekuvien muokkaamisesta, ja päädyin lopulta väsäämään nämä. Kaikki kuvat ovat omiani, vuosilta 2008-2013, vain pienillä muutoksilla ja entisaikojen filttereillä tuunattuna. Olisitteko te Lighroomin käyttäjät kiinnostuneita pienestä vintagekuva-tutoriaalista ja lämpenettekö te vanhanajan kuville?
I might have told you before that my favorite book in the entire world is The National Geographic Society’s America’s Wonderlands, The National Parks. The other night I was browsing through the book admiring the old time pictures and decided to learn how to make some myself. After doing some quick research on Lightroom Presets and Vintage photo editing I came up with these. All pictures are mine, ranging from 2008 to 2013, with just a little tweak and some yesteryear filtering. Would anyone of you using Lightroom be interested in a little tutorial and are you guys into old fashioned pics?
