I went digging in our old photos, from when we'd had our T1i for just 2 months. I chose 5 photos to convert. It turns out they were all taken with the 50mm f/1.8. Anyway, it was a ton of fun taking old photos, trying new things with them, and seeing how to get various looks and feels. Descriptions of what I did are on flickr. The first is my entry, the rest were just fun.

Just to double check what's covered here. Does the image have to have been processed for this effect? I mean I have some high ISO, noisy, images with flare and low contrast that certainly look Lo-Fi, would they be the right sorta thing?

As far as I understand, that is fine. The processing is so that we don't have to buy old or low quality gear if we don't happen to have some.

Correct. This assignment covers a wide arrange of photos. With and without post-processing. If you think yours fits, just upload it. If you have doubts about an entry, you can always ask Dr Croubie if your photo fits the description.

Here is one example of a new photo that I edited to look older(and fits the description). I'm pretty sure he isn't, but he did remind me a little to John Cleese.

Bob, that one says "Print me!"

Thanks Ahab, glad you liked it. But I printed it 35 years ago----and still have it. Although there is a little more color in the original

Here is my entry. Perhaps a bit macabre, but I found this doll on a forest path next to a kindergarten, and it reminded me of a horror movie of some kind. Since I was alone, I could take some pictures without appearing like a total lunatic. The doll was returned to the kindergarten, though.

Wow, a lot of good entries so far (a lot are better than I can manage, I suppose I need more PP practise, normally I let the film decide how the colous are going to look).

And Ham, they can look however you want i suppose, it's a very open-ended topic. The main thing is that there's not too much pixel-peeping detail, just keep it to a 'simple' subject or scene, as it were. (the easy way is, if it looks good at 1200px wide/long, it shouldn't look any 'better' by zooming in)
