Filters, Photoshop, Actions

I have to say that I am VERY careful if I use filters on any of my images....I perfer the real deal....meaning the juiceness of the actual moment without the added effect of filters. Although, I just found a couple interesting things online and thought I would experiment and give it a shot! So here's my tribute to the origina TIN TYPE photography. I just thought it was cool so I used it on one of my favorite couples and close friends wedding image I photographed a couple of weeks ago:)

Tin Type images were made in the mid 1800's and were very popular and fairly easy to make
"Being quite rugged, tintypes could be sent by post, and many astute tintypists did quite a trade in America during the Civil War, visiting the encampments. Later, some even had their shop on river-boats."

Eventually they were superseded by other forms of print photography including the Polaroid and 35mm camera. And now , of course...the Digital era has fully arrived and we can make 'mock tin types' on the computer...isn't it crazy!
