My Thoughts
Apr 11, 2010 | Posted in Blog, Life, Photography
As the weather starts to warm up in NYC I want to take advantage of the weather, so I decided to do a little shopping. It's been a while since I last shopped. I decided to go to the Woodbury Commons Outlet in upstate New York. On my way there, I took some photos with my 50mm 1:1.8 lens DSLR.
I always like the cross-processing techniques back in the day, which created a very retro look on my photos. To recreate these techniques now, I have to play around in Photoshop by using some adjustment layers. Check out these photos below and my vintage tutorial on how to create this photo effect.

Doesn't this look like an engagement photo?

I really like the tightly cropped shots with the dog! The composition with the combination of the cross-processing effect has a very nice overall result. The last picture is nicely framed as well. How did you go about shooting that one?

Hi Ryan, Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy them. The last one was shot by my friend. He was holding my camera when we were walking toward our car. It was a random shot. :) Sarah

Dear Sarah,
Very nice photos. Can you explain on which type of photos we can use vintage effect? Like we usually snap photos, how to make sure or make sense which effect would suits best on a photo? What do you do for that?
Thanks
