May 2010 - Photography assignment - Vintage

[Bambi]

I took this shot with this exact assignment in mind. You might recognize it as Casil's tub. My grandparents had one of these. We used to use it as kids to keep the pets we found: frogs, polywogs, and once, a turtle

That door knocker is amazing! I would love to know who and how that was made :P

Basingwerk Abbey was probably founded in 1131 by Ranulf, earl of Chester. Which should get it into vintage bracket.

The abbey has very little left and when I wanted to take images for art exam I realised there was not enough to cause enough interest so I decided to use the images but warp them to an extent where visitors would have a hard time to place where taken. I wanted to make it look like something from Disc World or Harry Potter.
There is a government web site here which tells a little about the Abbey and I have already taken pictures of the other abbey talked about and when I look at my album on here it seems all the images from what I had considered for exam as "Structures in the landscape" would fall into vintage.
This is the image entered for exam except reduced in size.

My father took this photo in old format 120 film. I can estimate the time frame because there are other pictures of me at about 8 years old. I scanned the negatives, did dust and scratch removal and added the frame. Vintage, yes. (There are no longer any grain elevators like these on the prairies.) Original, no.

Love the elevators Mike...my Uncle Joe used to paint them...he would travel all over Alberta and Saskatchewan to paint the old elevators.

Oh the McDougall United Church is lovely. Not just subject but way taken one feels it would take you straight to alter.

I'm loving the variety here folks. Great job!

Old Paddock at Cochrane Ranch:

This is a wonderful picture. I saw the picture on my desktop at first but later on I happened to be looking at the forum on my iPhone and noticed that there was a sepia background to it. But on my desktop in Firefox, the background is completely white and blends into the page, so I only see the wood fence and frame and the hill in the background. I checked in Google Chrome, where it is white as well, with no border visible to the picture. I far prefer this version. But in Safari on my desktop, the sepia, sort of noisy/grainy background is visible, right up to the borders of the photo. So I checked on my Macbook using Safari and Firefox. In both browsers on my Mac the sepia is present. Again it's much darker with the sepia tone. So I was wondering what you intended, and if this sort of difference in the way browsers render photos is common?
