Finished 9th in the Your Best Sepia Art Challenge in the “Tone It Down”! (3/day – No [EXPLETIVE] color allowed!) Group May 28, 2010
Finished 6th in the Antique Photography – Sepia(Brownish yellow tones) Challenge in the
The Wild West Show Group May 2010
Imagine yourself in the late 1800’s early 1900’s dressed in your SUNDAY BEST with a lovely high stepping mare with a glossy coat in the harness, taking a ride to your favorite picnic spot in the sun. Ah for the Good Old Days. It is very hard to find exact information on these buggies based on a photo only. If the buggy is in excellent condition and still has the builders plate intact it can be tracked far more thoroughly. Unfortunately I do not have this available to me. I have used a Sepia treatment From Adobe Photoshop Elements to get this effect. Taken South of Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada

wow, where do you find these gems sis,,,,,,,,,,well I know, south of Sherwood Park, but you always have the neatest old transportation shots, I love this. Love it! And I totally agree with Rosie, the sepia adds to the nostalgia of this beautiful photo.
Thanks ever so much for the Comment and the Fave Sis. It helps when you have an antique buff near you. We do love seeing his stuff and when we get our horse we will get one of the sleighs I hope.:>)) Leslie
