Bugger. You're right. Hate that 🙁

Good thing about shooting in these dark conditions is that sensor dust is the least of your concerns 🙂

Its one of my favourite pictures but still not managed to get it to look old the right way yet. this is just latest attempt

Mikkel it's too dark. Old photos don't have true blacks. You need to lighten up the darker areas all round. Also old photos don't have perfect details so if your losing some of the detail y lightening it don't worry.
Can I suggest you don't try to make it look like something it's not? The subject matter is strong enough on its own not to need it and trying to make it look like an old photo', however you do it, will just make it look hackneyed. Perhaps try making it just regular B&W?

fisha thanks for the suggestions, its amazing how hard it is to lose details when you want to do it on purpose lol

Yeah, I finally got round to getting a tripod so thought I'd try it out.
Don't suppose you were planning on coming to our opening event? Trying to figure out what to do about getting some pictures. I'd do it myself but I'm doing the BBQ and playing with my band.
Don't suppose you fancy taking some pics in return for food and drink?
I was thinking about it, aye! Been a long while since I photographed any mountainbikes 😀

Mikkel it's too dark. Old photos don't have true blacks. You need to lighten up the darker areas all round. Also old photos don't have perfect details so if your losing some of the detail y lightening it don't worry.
Depends on the old photo, I've got a copy of a group photo of the staff at a paper mill, with my great-granddad in, probably taken in the twenties, likely on a plate camera, and the detail is extraordinary! I scanned the print on a drum scanner at a resolution of 600dpi, and while retouching some damage I noticed a spot on the blazer worn by the son of one of the staff; when I zoomed in, I noticed it was a Boy Scout badge, turned upside down!
I've got another of a group of Victorian cyclists, and again the detail is astonishing, but some parts are blurred due to people moving during the long exposures.
Can't post them at the mo', my scans are Photoshop .eps files, and I no longer have a copy of Ps that'll work on my Mac Mini, so I'm going to have to find the DVD I put copies on and get a friend to convert them to JPEG's sometime.
