    The Old Engineer

    Yesterday Our Train Historical Society took out the Steamy for our annual meeting to a local winery. I got the opportunity to get into the cab to take a couple of images of the engineer at work.


    1/30 sec @ f/3.5, ISO 350
    EOS-M w/EF-M 22mm f/2

    To give it a period look, I was reading about the Casein Print Method that was patented in 1908. Couldn't find anywhere on how to recreate this method digitally so I thought I would have a go.

    Used LR for preprocessing on the image then over to Elements 11 where a Layer for Color Efex Pro 4 to create the color effect I was looking for using 3 filters (Film EFEX: Faded, Image Boarders, Paper Tone). Used 6 layers to create a Old Paper Texture. The 1 Layer for Yellow.

    Checked Some of the Casein Prints and I think I'm close, WDYT?

    Well done Tom, the subject suits the treatment.

                    Processing suits the picture.

                      I like the picture Tom but not sure about the processing - did you do a "standard" conversion

                        Thanks Doug and Stan for stopping by and commenting. I've done a couple versions on the image they are on my blog.

                          Tom, really like that. And well done on the processing: to be honest I wouldn't know a Casein print method from any other, but it has the right period feel to me, except perhaps the red handles have come out too red?
