Hi all,

We've touched on this before. Does anyone else enjoy making new photos look old? It's tricky to eradicate all signs of modernity, as a close look at some of these images will demonstrate Smile

On Flickr there are a lot of people 'adding age' to there photos, we see a lot of WW2 re-enactors pictures 'aged'. Quite often it doesn't work and really doesn't look authentic. With vehicles I think its easier and more impressive than when people are involved.

I'm afraid these people are far from convincing and I guess I should have removed the TV aerials.

Its weird being the same age as old people.
You are either part of the problem or part of the solution
