Johanneskirche am Feuersee

Saturday Self Challenge: Vintage/Retro - take a new photo of your choice and make it look like it's from an earlier era

This neogothic church was built 1864-76, looking over a fire water pond.
I used a vintage filter in Color Efex Pro, then desaturated further and added more film grain, sepia tint and a frame.

The 1st inset was done using Silver Efex Pro with the "old photographic plate" filter,

the 2nd inset shows the original photo.

Thanks a lot, Val! The only problem were the modern buildings around the church but the crop took care of most:-)

This is an amazing church. I love how you processed it. It's perfect! Love the images in the notes too!

Gudrun ^club has replied to Karen's Place ^club

Many thanks, Karen! The church is a rather typical 19th century example- at a first glance it's not always easy to see whether it's genuinely old or neo-gothic.

Herzlichen Dank, Ulrich! Die Nik-Filter machen Spass! Wenn du Photoshop oder Lightrrom hast, kannst du die kostenlos als Plug-In verwenden.

Thank you, Jaap! It's a great setting- one day I must take night shits there.

Now that is clever, Gudrun. I will try to get the colour efex and the silver efex downloaded, but I'm not the main user on our computer, so I'll have to wait. The original is lovely too.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Amelia ^club

Thanks a lot, Amelia! The pond makes for a good foreground which helps with photos.
Playing around with Nik filters is for a rainy day;-) There are also tutorials on the pages I linked though I admit I hardly ever use them even if I get stuck;-)

Ich dachte es sei wirklich gotik.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Daniela Brocca ^club

Neogotik unterscheidet sich eigentlich nur darin von echter Gotik, dass es zu perfekt ist, um ganz alt zu sein;-) Die echten gotischen Kirchen haben doch meist irgendwelche Bauteile aus früheren oder späteren Epochen.

Adele ^club

I like both the original and the processed pictures, Gudrun! Congrats for this excellent work!

Gudrun ^club has replied to Adele ^club

Many thanks, Adele! It's an attractive looking and attractively situated church. The rubbish left by people around there is less attractive though;-)

Gudrun ^club has replied to Graham Chance ^club

Thank you, Graham! The Nik filters are free and very good, they work as plug in to PS and LR.

Heidiho ^club

Das ist schon sehr erstaunlich, welche Verfremdungseffekte mit diesen NIK-Filtern möglich sind.
Im Vergleich zum Original ergibt sich eine völlig andere Stimmung. Der Vintage-Effekt überzeugt.

8 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Heidiho ^club

Schönen Dank, Heidi! Für Vintage musste ich ja irgendwie auch diese 50er-Jahre Gebäude aus dem Bild bekommen bzw. abmildern, da half die Vignette im Filter sehr:-)

Leo W ^club

Gelungener Einsatz von Silverefex, wobei das Farbbild auch sehr schön ist.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Leo W ^club

Besten Dank, Leo! Die Kirche hat einfach eine sehr fotogene Lage! Leider wird der See oft zugemüllt...
