An Accidental Faux Post Card
This was an interesting situation; in the center of the town where I live, there is a wonderful duck pond with great views. But because of the tight paths around it, there was no place to set up my models for a photo shoot; until now.
To do repair work on the nearby spillway, the town drained most of the water creating a fairly large mud flat. Boldly hauling my stuff on a luggage cart out onto the former bed of the pond, I set up the shot to include the town hall and the flowering flora.
As serendipity would have it, when I downloaded the photos, all of the images had the the look of postcards from the 1930's.
The only processing I did was filter it through the Kodacolor filter which muted the color palette. Plus I added the type to give it that old post card touch.
The convertible diecast car is a 1935 Chevrolet Standard Roadster by Danbury Mint. The 1932 Ford by The Franklin Mint can be seen on the right.
