Footage photo's continued...


Recommended Posts

Here are some photos I "found" in the atic. Funny... I didn't know I had relatives in the USSR in the 40s....

Incidentally -- Some photoshop filters I've found useful for... um... "improving" these atic photos include motion blur (3 or 4 pixels) and add noise (3%).

It also helps to erase little bits out of the edge of the picture after you place it in the frame. You can also rotate the entire image before you crop it to put it in the frame, photographers under fire have a hard time holding the camera perfectally level.

Finally, I tend to think that photos from camera level 1 look best as that is the highest a real photographer could have gotten.

Hello Maastrictian,

Thanks for your post, they are good footage pics you have there.

Also thanks for the hints, i will use them for an updated version of mine later !

btw where did your nick Maastrictian came from ?

im just curious because in Holland we have a town called Maastricht and your nick is close to that name but i guess its purely coincidence.

Michael Emrys --

I *think* the AC's wheel is on the ground, but its a few meters ahead of that crater, which makes things look odd.

Monty --

The Maastrictian epoch in geology is named after a rock formation near that town. Its the last epoch of the Cretaceous, the last time period in which the dinosaurs lived. So my nickname comes from my interest in the extinction of the dinosaurs, and, kind of, from that town.
