I do think that the toning unifies the series well though. I think that it is most effective in the interior shots like 6, 8, 21-26. With a little pleasant flare in those too, they show to advantage for the atmosphere.

I just uploaded the photos with the warm tone: http://mcclary.zenfolio.com/f753905414/ <http://mcclary.zenfolio.com/f753905414/%3c%3c%3c%3c%3c%3c%3c%3c%3c> <<<<<<<<< Harrison, Interesting effect without question. However, anytime I see this "warm old time photo sepia look" making modern day photos look like "old time images" they never do what a real image of the time looks like. Maybe it's because the modern day lenses and film or digi cards don't create the sort of "old time "un-sharpness" we see in pictures from the 1800's and 1900's? I suppose it's just me in this relationship when sepia tone is added to modern images. But maybe there's away to "soften?" or give the image a kind of "glow" along with the sepia effect to the modern day image to make the toning and recorded image look very much old time? Just a passing thought. The comments have nothing to do with the quality of the recorded moments as they're all fine as usual when you do your thing! ted _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
