Theme Thursday: Aged

Well I intended to go out into rural Texas (which frankly is ALL of Texas pretty much) and find me some awesome barns to shoot but post-vacation business got the best of me so here I am posting what I already had. I really do love this assignment and hope to revisit it in the near future on my own because I only just recently, within the last year or so, started to see value in shooting things that are old and juxtaposing them with things that are new. I never understood the appeal, now I do. But my eye rarely goes to those things and I rarely remember to look for those shots. I’m getting better but verrrry slowly. So this is all I’ve got, from my recent Mother’s Day picture series.

This is when I first moved into our new house. I loved all the rusty metal and weathered wood contrasting with our “new” yard and home:

None Shall Pass

Bonus: this is aged via post-processed. Usually I’m not a fan of the sepia and the post-process aging but I had this photo I loved that was otherwise too grainy to use. I really like how this one turned out :)

    Love those shots. The perspective of the gate hinge is great and I really like how you converted the picture of your daughter to an aged look. She’s too darn cute, too. :)

    These are all beautiful, and I particularly like your first shot. I can’t wait to find some “old stuff” and shoot some “new” by it, as I didn’t get a chance to this week. It’s a great assignment, I agree.

    Have you tried running actions? I’m not sure what program you’re using, but I use nicholev actions which are available for photoshop and elements.
