The Fair

The Fair

The Texas Star Ferris Wheel, built in 1985, has been an icon of the fair ever since.

The first State Fair of Texas was held in 1886 - That was my inspiration to transport this imge back thorugh time using PSCS5, Topaz Adjust and NIK Silver Efex.

Canon 100-400L IS at 120mm. ISO 100, Late-Morning, 1/1600 @ f5.6, EC -1.0 (DD)

This is after processing the RAW image, basic PS adjustments, noise reduction and a small amount of Topaz Adjust.

  Neat work turning that modern picture into something that looks antiqued! Do you have more detail about what you did?

  Your choice of effects for this is perfect, Jeff. You've definitely put that impressive wheel into a time machine, with excellent results.

  Thanks Everyone!

Richard - My first adjustments with CS5 were levels and slight increase with hue/sat on individual colors. I then used NIK Define 2 for noise. Over to Topaz Adjust 5 HDR (Light Pop Smooth preset). I then went back to NIK Silver Efex using "Old Photo".
