Description
An old antique cupboard I found inside an antique dealer in Malacca. It was painted a lovely bright turqoise and I couldn't resist taking a photo of it. I used my Lomo cos I thought it would be a bit more discreet than my SLR and since it had slide film I went on to cross-process... voila! This was the wonderful result.I had to mess around with this in photoshop quite a bit to get it as close to the original photo as I possibly could. Still, it lacks a certain depth and the fantastic turqoise colour. I SO can't wait to get a better scanner!
Camera: Lomo LC-A
Film: Fujichrome Provia 400F Professional - cross processed
Photoshop:Scan, sharpened, adjusted levels, colour variations, and goodness knows what else!

wow -- you're photography is so rich. I love the life you give to this...amazing.
its thick like an oil painting but smooth and clean like a well perserved antique...amazing. the lighting is great...it give the color room to run a range of tints...fading into black on the top and bottom
the gold is fantastique and makes me think of something royal.
my only critique would be to burn down the white glare a bit on the handles. just a bit.
great job inky brains!!!!

Simply wonderful color tones....they're just so deep, almost mesmerizing. The only thing that distracts is the bit of glare on the knobs, but that's a minor thing. Very nice.
