As I have been culling through dozens of my pictures from Italy, I have been thinking about how to give them a fresh perspective. One of the fun things about shooting digitally is the photo shop actions you can find by just Googling. About a month ago I found one such action called "Toy Camera" which is the digital way to give your images an old fashioned, dreamy look. I have only had experience doing this with my old school Diana camera which I got on Ebay years ago. So it's been a blast to discover it can be achieved this way.
All of these images were shot in color - then after sharpening and adding contrast with levels and curves, I used my "Toy Action" which automatically gives it a sepia color and border. I took it one step further and added a blue split tone color on top of it. It's fun discovering new ways to give an old subject a new look.
