Making Your Photos Look Vintage

ATARI 2600 1983 Model 4 Switch Woody

  

  I shot this photo using my Panasonic Lumix LX-3 camera. The image looks vintage 

  but was actually shot in the year 2010. I used Gimp to process the image and used

  special plug-ins  available to replicate a lomo  film camera shot. There were also some

  flare spots added and color selection from the 70's. I was actually in pressed by how

  well the image turned out. It is important to start with a high resolution file, so when you

  edit the image using Gimp you can make all your adjustments and not loose sharpness

  or other important features  of your original photo. If you start out with a poor image

  then your final picture will look pix elated and blurred. Here is a link to lomo photography 

  using Gimp and special plug ins ( Lomo Script with Old Style Colors) Lot's of fun and

  good way to recapture a nostalgic  photo you may remember from the past .
