[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo is taken in Kg Pasir, a fishermen settlement in Johor Bahru. I wanted to do something different and create a different mood with the original photo. I converted it to B&W, added grains, readjusted curves and levels to achieve this effect.

The objective here is to create a haunting sensation, like an old photograph that holds lots of unspoken stories, untold tales....to create a mysterious by making it look a little old.

Hope it works...hehe..

It actually does work. Before starting to read your note, I was reminded of certain photos from the wild west taken in the 1880es and 1890es, of mining ghost towns or other godforsaken places. A shade of sepia coloring would have taken it all the way.

You succeeded Thong! Congrats ! Your effect made it look a old and rare register.
