Very nice. I like the photos quite a bit. :clap

I am curious what technique you used in post. I like everything about it except for how the blacks look. They seem washed out, but that could just be me.

Thanks!

Yes, I could see the problem with the blacks. I have adjusted them a little. Maybe they are better? However, there is only so far you can push 'exotic' PP. :wink

These were reprocessed from jpgs from a P&S with LightZone. I used various filters from the Styles menu, as well as basic adjustments. The 'daguerreotypes' were done with Paint Shop.

Glad you like them, Richard. Thanks for the encouragement! You didn't find it too difficult to take care of the thirst, I presume!

The post processing reminds me of a pseudo HDR...yep...sure looks like it. The clothes...and the faces...resemble that sort of processing.

Was that part of your post processing? Just wondering since you didn't disclose what filters you used.
