Long time digital artist turned photographer. My work has been seen in the Bend Bulletin, the New York Times and National Geographic. I am a photography addict. An observer of life. A fly on the wall. A thief of moments.

on December 27th, 2009Love this. Love the effect you use on this and the old truck interior. Are you prepared to explain how you achieve this “weathered” look?

on December 31st, 2009Thanks Julie! First, I shoot in color. Then, in Photoshop, I apply a filter called ReDyNamix. It’s a third party, pseudo HDR plugin.
I soften the effect almost all the way and then desaturate to black and white. Next, bump up the contrast to about 20%. Finally, duplicate the layer and add a sepia “style”. Fade that layer till you get the right tones and you’re done.
Hope you find this helpfull.
Cheers
