Hand-Coloring

So one place that Ann and I differ in our photo preferences, is where I get excited about stuff that was new in like the 90's and if not done properly, might be considered a little corny (at least when I do it). I think my excitement is mainly in that I can do it myself. I'm not sure I would want to look at picture after picture of this type (though at the moment, probably more than most). But I figured out how to do hand-coloring (though I've just seen it described as color-tinting, which sounds much more likely to be accurate) and I had to experiment. You definitely don't want to do this to everything, and I've probably done it to more than I should, but it was in an effort to find one or two interesting transformations. But I'll try to keep my postings of them to a minimum.

Not sure if these classify as interesting, but I had fun doing them. The originals are both from point-and-shoots...again.


This was taken in Alaska. Not sure what Denver is significant for besides it being a capitol city of one of our states. I mean...in that sense it's significant. I don't mean to downplay the importance of the entire Denver population. But a sign with the word "Denver" holds less significance in general, and even less still when put in the context of a train car in Alaska.
