Challenge: Image Grain (Advanced Editing IV*)
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Location: Leeds & Liverpool Canal
Date: Oct 23, 2005
Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/125
Galleries: Black and White, Water
Date Uploaded: Oct 23, 2005

 Snapped the barge coming around the corner on the canal. It was a very misty late afternoon. Tried to go for an "old-faded-photo" look and not go 'over the top' on graininess. I like it, but think the voters will probably prefer more contrast and grungier grain shots. It was a pity there were houses in the background or that they weren't older buildings.
Adjusted Brightness, Contrast. Added 90%noise. De-Sat. Slight curves. Crop and Border added.

I really like this a lot. The grain does help convey the mood of the photo. It looks like it belongs. Good job.

I like this image..the grain adds a nice feel to this composition;almost an 18th century image feeling.

The modern houses in the background spoil the illusion here, great shot.
