Description
I was trying to recreate the feel of the old tin type photographs from a century ago. Most of the subjects in those photos seem stiff and expressionless, I think mostly because photography was so new and the people treated the opportunity to be in a photo as a more formal affair. I tried to give it a banged up look using Ron's vintage brushes. I wanted it to look like it was a photo that had been in someone's attic for a century. Hope you enjoy it and thanks for viewing!

Zoom gives a much better look at detail of course.

You have achieved your goal. As to the stiffness in old photos: Most of the time the films [plates] were very slow photographically. The lighting wasn't always uniform or very bright. We have some old photos in an album where you can see the head brace often used on children to keep them still for the exposure. People were very rigid so there wouldn't be movement [blur] in the photo. Jim

Oh that makes perfect sense! Thanks for the clarification. It would be hard to hold still for me I know.

Excellent. Looks the real thing. I can almost see the old photographer with his head beneath the black hood cloth of his big box camera. I think one reason people looked so stiff in those old photos is the shutter had to remain open for a long time, so the film picked up any movement at all.

An excellent recreation of the old photo process. Tintypes date from the 1860's and where a cheaper process than the then current glass plate style negative which was just getting going from the earlier paper negative and the Daguerreotype. However, Tintypes persisted well into the 20th century particularly at seaside places and with travelling portrait photographers. Glass plates also persisted right up the 1990's. I've even use them myself.
