[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I'm still in 'antique photo mood', so today I upload an old car from the main firestation of Stockholm. It was funny to see, because this old Volvo still had a valid licence plate an appearantly was still the part of the fleet. I don't know exactly, but the age of this car may be between 40 and 50 years and it's still in a good (working) condition. This shot was perfect for me to play with Photoscape and create an 'authentic' antique image.
Thanks for viewing!

that old foto' s be attractive by their colour and acerbity

Hi Kristof,
Amazing to see this old beauty still in action! It wouldn't be as quick as today's fire engines but I bet it still gets the job done well. Looks in pristine condition. You've done it justice with the sepia conversion, works really well. Certainly looks authentic.

TFS,
Scott.

Hi Kristof,
From new to old- really excellent here. You've done a wonderful job, with no outside signs indicating that it is indeed in modern times. Bravo, I love your work on this. TFS Julie

Hi Kristof

Maybe I would have given this a slight reddish sepia tint, to fit the firefighters title? Just a subjective idea of mine. Regardless, it's a good shot of the old car, & the antique filter has done its job. Good sharpness & framing. Have a great weekend!

Hi Kristof,

this is really splendid PP work...and what a fabulous car! :) I like it and this image looks like it was taken in the 50s and not in 2007.

Great format and crop, very good B/W conversion and great POV.

Have a nice weekend,

Stasa

Ciao Kristof, beautiful composition with fascinating old car, splendid PP work, very well done, have a good week end, ciao Silvio

Hi Kristof,

Good focus and clarity.tfs.

Hi Kristof,

The antique effect really works well with this old Volvo. POV and composition with the firehouse in the background is excellent. I think you're right about the age of the car, because one of my high school teachers had a Volvo with the same style front end :(

Really good artistic take on this!

Regards,
Werner

Hi Kristof...

Nice POV - Fine car...
Excellent capture and wonderful presentation of old "Vplvo"...
Excellently done - nice details and colors.
With my compliment,
George

Hello Kristof,

Your treatment has certainly given this an authentic appearance!
The shot is nicely angled and I'm so pleased that you were able to capture it in front of the station. That gives it a good context, second only to being at a fire!

Have a good w/e,
Bev :-)

This processing is PERFECT for this old car Kristof! I love how you did this! Nice and sharp, great comp, photoscape is a cool tool for things like this!
