Olde thyme photos

[tom in nc]

Unsure which forum to post this in but... I want to have some photos taken of my wife, our dog, and myself that look like old photos. I have let my beard grow as long as it's ever been and I have a Confederate uniform to wear. My wife is willing to wear appropriate period correct clothing, and the dog won't mind. My phone/camera takes good clear pics and I have went several times to Walmart and used the instant photo option, if I can find it in operation, for photos before.
Wondering how to get black & white, or actually sepia I believe they're called (the brown & white look). I might check with a local professional photographer.

Most cameras have modes to do it and photo editing is on most photo storage of your computer. I did this in a couple of minutes just now.

Ok, I got the black & white part figured out,now to find the filter(s).

You’re on your way.

As you can see, with a mug like mine, less photo quality is good. My sister says I was a pretty baby but soon got over it.

Check for filters that do "sepia".

I would take her off the Christmas card list.

When I was a youth my Mom entered me in a pretty baby contest and won a studio photograph of me. It’s been a long rough road to get to where I’m at now. It’s not the age it’s the mileage!

There are online programs that will help you age photos. Not perfect but not bad. I’m still learning and by no means a photographer.

Okay, thought I’d give it a try. I’m definitely no photographer, but it’s fun. Life is good.

Ha ha.

But I think most of us remember when that was proper etiquette. When I was in the military you always took your hat off indoors anywhere. I think airports were an exception.

I have the knowhow on altering the photos but can't think of any that would look cool.

How do you cover up the bald spot without a hat?

Somebody with a newer phone should be able to use the included filters and get ya set up pretty well..
