Old Farm in Fresh Snow/ Sepia Scenes

It snowed again and everything looks pristine once more. We could use some sunshine but today I'm grateful for the clean snow.

The process: Using PhotoShop Elements, I changed the photo into B&W and then applied "Old Paper."

  1. What a super picture. It looks like it was taken 100 yrs ago. I like it. MB

  2. This photo looks like it could be a framed work of art. Very old-timey. Is this barn in your neighborhood?

  3. Great shot and I love how you "tweaked" it. I told my daughter, when she was here for Thanksgiving, "I really should get PhotoShop, but I'm too lazy to sit and learn it." She said, "Oh, Mom!".

  4. This is a very nice capture - it almost looks as if the background is a very high rock wall or cliff behind the farm! Niiice!

  5. Your scene looks great with old paper. It feels like it fits the subject well. It's snowing here in northwestern WA State too today. We are supposed to get 3 to 4 inches of snow.

  7. I'm glad for the new snow, too. Ours all melted on Saturday, and the world seemed so dark on Sunday morning, with nothing for the light to reflect off of.

  8. There is the cool "old paper" look again. Someday I'm going to have to hunt that down. Love the feel of the picture - almost like an old Currier & Ives picture.

  9. Lovely picture.
    I'm just catching up on your posts, have been away from blogging for a day or two.... I love the pic of the decorated tree in York Regional forest, is that the part east or west of 48?

  12. Shammickite,
    The tree's in the YRF west side of 48, between Vivian and Davis. ;-)

  13. Always in awe of your photos when I come here - today is no exception - very well done.
    It looks like an old farm and that bare tree beside the barn just adds to the old-timey feel.

  14. Very cool shot, thanks for sharing. Now I am off to fool around with photoshop to see if I can do something like this. Thanks so much for sharing.

    Cheers!

  17. The "old paper" background really goes hand in hand with the mood of the photo.

  18. The photo is great and you've done such a good job changing it with your photo editing program. I have to learn to use that.

  22. Great photo to start with but your transistions make it all the more interesting, like that old paper background, it feels like snow to me.
