So I didn't wait for the lens, shoot me. I was out and about today. Of course I had my camera. I've been getting into the habit of bringing it with me where ever I go. As I drove along, what really wasn't a country road, I saw this barn. I cropped it to get rid of the telephone poles to the left. I gave it an old paper type look, or tried. LOL Burnt edges, sepia tone and crumpled. I softened it up to try and give it a faded look. I am not sure if got the aged effect I was going for, but personally I was happy with it.
There is also an ice cream stand near my house. It's set up like an old gas station. I pulled and grabbed a shot of the pumps. I didn't like the umbrella and electrical wires in the shot, shooting in the other direction gave me a parking lot full of cars and a shit load of buildings. ::sigh:: figured I would add it anyway since I had it.
