~ AOL Community Photo Challenge•AGED-FUN ~

aged.jpg picture by 55hockeyfan


 

This week's challenge is AGED.  So find something that shows age or take an image & make it vintage or aged. 

Post your challenge entry on your blog, come back here & leave your link in the comment area on either the FUN or JUDGED category.

 

Click on the banner to join in the fun. 

 

I had this picture from when I visited Niagara Falls over the summer.  Definitely something aged in my opinion.  I added the sepia toning to add to the feel.  Had the topic been old, I'd have done a snow scene.  LOL at this stage of the game ... snow is old!!  I'm ready for spring.

I am doing this one in the 'fun category' but may come back and do another for the judging category.  I've had my eye on a few scenes nearby but I'm waiting on the lens I ordered to arrive.  If it comes in time........  ::evil grin::  I looked at other cameras but holy shit I can't swing it at this time.  Not for a hobby!  I will stick with my cheapo camera and add to it.

I had no idea how beautiful Niagra Falls is. Marilyn Monroe was there... Breath-taking! So does this have to be a photo that you take yourself or can it be from the net? Please reply.

I know what you mean about looking at photography stuff and wanting it, but deciding it is too expensive for a hobby... but I do keep asking for stuff for birthdays, etc ;p

But, what I wanted to say is that it is the photographer, not the camera, that makes the shot! You show us awesome pictures all of the time! Yes, it's fun to have the 'bells and whistles', but it is -more- important to have 'the eye'!!

That's beautiful Donna, so very good! If you can do this with a cheap camera I'd love to see what you could achieve with an expensive one. I don't think photography is all about the price of equipment, it's also about spotting a great shot before you shoot it. You'#ve definitely got the knack! Jeannette xx

Nice twist!  You can't get much older than something the Ice Age created!!!

This is fantastic, I just went by the Falls today on the way to McKinley Mall.  My son took us over that way and then to Easter Hills.  I always love to see pics of the Falls, an this was is absolutely beautiful, Donna.

I've never been to Niagra falls.  It looks like quite a place.

I love it in sepia.

Donna, this is perfect. Love the idea of changing to sepia and the framing you added. Beautiful image.

Yes, Niagra Falls is eternal.  You have caught that idea with the sepia tones I think, so the photo looks old as well as new. Gerry
