Notes:

SETUP
teddy bear
belonging to
young Bobbie Swainson
c. 1960
wooden top and plaid scrapbook
belonging to
young Aldo Notarianni
c. 1930
+
wooden crate magazine rack
belonging to
my late sister Elissa
before I painted/distressed it 'shabby chic' style

setup
(+ tripod)


original photo
SOOC


Numerous shots in Manual mode,
playing with depth of field,
focal point
and shutter speed.

***

 In Lightroom
I cropped (4x5),
cloned away the dark corner,
played with
multiple adjustments
...
and then I scrapped it all
and started over
with Kim's
kk_oldendays preset.
Perfect!
Just the effect I was looking for.

***
In Photoshop
I added two layers of
kk_waterfront1
Hard Light 20%
and
Multiply 30%
(I lowered the saturation on this layer)

I masked the texture
off of the bear and the top.

  1. Hi Cindy,
    Such a lovely warm, vintage feeling in your photo ... The teddy bear is adorable, it brings me down to memory lane to the house of my grand mom ~ the teddy in her bed.
    I love the light, bluish shades ... I look forward of following you in Be Still 52 :)
