Fundoshi Rehash 49 - Lavender Voile Take 3

For the third look from the fundoshi of lavender voile, I decided to take it to a 'vintage' route....like old faded photos stored in a box under the bed for far too long. You can gander at the original shoot here.

First up was to lighten the photo a bit. As you can see above, the original lighting was pretty dark. I upped the exposure and turned down the black point a bit to get to the photo below. Just a bit too crisp and clean for a 'vintage' look.

After a buch of playing around with different things, I found a filter I haven't used called 'Antique'.....and that was it. While I don't know exactly what it is doing (other than the obvious white-point adjustment), this is how I envisioned the look, so I took the easy way!

Fundoshi Rehash 48 - Grey Voile Take 3

If you need a refresher, the original photos from the grey voile fundoshi shoot can be found here. Take 2 will show you the previous set of 'rehashed' photos, with much trickery involved. 

The trickery involved with this current set was to make the photos a bit 'richer'. Yes...a very subjective term. If you didn't click on the links above, here is a reminder of how the original photos looked.

To achieve the look below, I simply turned down the exposure a bit, added a little vibrancy and a vignette filter (which darkens the edges). I did this a while ago, and realize I don't have each individual setting to show, so it leads me to believe I may have just applied a pre-canned filter that did those three things....
