By following these instructions, you can make a postcard effect too!

Take 3 pictures of the same scene, setting your camera to different shutter speeds. In the end you want to have an overexposed, properly exposed, and an underexposed image. One of each exposure.

Load the 3 images into HDRsoft’s Photomatix Pro and produce a Tone Mapped HDR image.

Using Nikon’s Colour EFex Pro 3 I altered the image with Tonal Contrast, Bi-Colour Filters, and Cross Processing.

The Final Step is to Overlay (Soft Light) another image of a texture in Photoshop.

Fishing is an ancient practice that dates back at least to the Paleolithic period which began about 40,000 years ago. Isotopic analysis of the skeletal remains of Tianyuan man, a 40,000 year old modern human from eastern Asia, has shown that he regularly consumed freshwater fish.

Deer have significant roles in the mythology of various peoples.

As you have probably seen, I love retro and vintage photography (actually, I love anything retro/vintage). I get my inspiration from other people who are adding the same effects to their photos. Here are just a few examples of what my Flickr friends are up to.
