At Urayasu, where I went for a swim, in the fiftieth year of the Showa. |
One of the recent pictures of mine showed that I had a close resemblance to my father in his youth. This brought me a good idea: if I take a picture with old-fashioned clothes and its color fades, people may not be able to judge whether it was taken recently or a long time ago.
Here, following are some characteristics of color pictures in the old days:
-dull red color
-bluish or yellowish over the whole picture
-with frames and dates
-rough to the touch
Generally, colors in old pictures have low chromaticity. Aiming at creating a photo with the above mentioned features, I tried using graphic editing software to retouch one of my pictures. As a result, I have successfully got this Showa style picture! |
