Kodak Retina II, 35mm folding camera

Trying for a very soft and vintage mood with this one... My typical photos are sharp and vibrant so this is a bit challenging for me...

 

Shot with Canon 5DII and Vivitar Series 1 Macro Zoom, with available indoor light.

Processed in CS4 primarily with Nik color efex filters. I used both 3.0 and 4....

 

Let me know what you think please...

 

My Grandfathers Kodak Retina II. ( Captain Byron Cramblet )

 

He picked it up following WWII to supplement/replace his Kodak 1A folder

 

It flew with him during the early years at SAS (Scandinavian Airlines System) the Berlin Airlift, and throughout his career at American Airlines.

 

I am slowly scanning in his photo albums from 40's and 50's and fixing them up if possible in photoshop....
