Description ...Modern of The Past.

This is a large wall full of super-heroes and cartoon and movie characters that is part of an office building complex in Lisbon.
As most of those characters can be considered vintage designs I felt like aging the photo to make it look like it was taken when the 'vintage' of today was the 'modern' of the past... confused?
With the edits I also wanted to establish a more sureal enviroment.

Works best in Full View.

[ Edits: noise, levels, color balance, saturation in Photoshop CS2 for the old look ]

Skeletor!!
This is such a great nostalgia trip. Awesome picture, I love the angle and it does look kind of retro-futuristic.

Hopefully I will, one day!
And then I'll look this place up, dress like Wonder Woman, and take a picture in front of it.

very cool, has a nice aqua blue to it, and the lower left corner, who knows what's going on there, and that's the beauty of it, nice shot.

pa... isso ta muito escuro, podias ter tirado melhor, ou melhorado no photoshop, alem disso podias ter tirado a foto de frente axo eu...

Caddielook In reply to 7grims [2005-11-29 21:40:53 +0000 UTC]

meu amigo, o que eu fiz no photoshop foi mesmo "piorar" a foto, pô-la mais velha e piorar a luz. se eu quisesse mostrar planamente os bonecos tinha tirado de frente, mas os bonecos não são obra minha. por isso preferi mostrar o caminho das escadas, escadas essas que aumentam a sensação de profundidade/afastamento do painel conforme o escondem. a iluminção irregular confere-lhe também um ambiente mais surreal, a meu ver. aquele contraste entre bonequinhos coloridos e um ambiente cromático fraco...... bla bla bla. lol
