For Paula’s Black & White Sunday – Old Singer seen in Puglia…
…and after post-processing, with a sepia tone

Pingback: BLACK & WHITE SUNDAY: AFTER AND BEFORE Y1-01 | Lost in Translation
This is a beautiful rendition in monochrome, and a rare object to see. Thank you, Sue. Have a great Sunday!
Thanks, Paula! Have a great Sunday yourself!
Doesn’t look as though it would be much use now! I actually prefer the non-processed version, already monotone, and the cloth behind it looks similar to one my mother had (and I still do) which makes me wonder if my dad picked it up in Italy during the war.
Hmm, interesting….
Ah, and a really lovely submission for the Traces of the Past too :D. You made me smile, Sue. Cheers!
I’m all for smiles!
Pingback: THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: TRACES OF THE PAST Y3-01 | Lost in Translation
I like being able to see the traces of the (peacock?) blue in the first photo.
It’s a nice old relic, and I am wondering if it might still work, after a good oiling!
Best wishes, Pete.
I don’t get any blue on my monitor, Pete! As to the oiling, it looked a bit far gone for that!
Maybe it’s my eyes! Perhaps green? I am not 100% on colours, as my wife will assert.
OK!
I like both versions. That net curtain is a great backdrop.
That net curtain was brilliant for the shot!
I like the Singer and the edited version seems to really match the patina… 🙂
Yes, I thought Sepia suited it’s era!
🙂 well done
😀
My volte is for the black and white version.
Thanks’
I was a rubbish seamstress back in those days, Sue! Still am but I do love the look of those old machines. 🙂
Well, I have never been a seamstress, I knew it wouldn’t be my ‘thing’!
They are precious, even if they don’t work anymore. Both look very nice and so does the curtain.
They are precious, I agree! Reminds me, I must take some more Still Lifes with the old Singer I inherited
My mother had one and we gave it away …. sigh
Lost opportunities !
Well done! Such a cool capture, Sue!
Thank you, Amy
What a great find. I do slightly prefer the color though. I tend to notice the leaf design a bit more in color.
Fair comment, Emilio!
I see what Pete means about the blue, and what a lovely find.
Yes, interesting about the blue….
The sepia wins for me! Lovely shots Sue – they really capture the era of hand-operated sewing machines (when I was at uni, hiring the college sewing machine was the first task immediately after exams so that we had some new summer wear for our travels!)
Oh, you talented girl – I am no seamstress!
Super …
Thank you!
I like both versions! Tried to pick a favorite between the two and just couldn’t.
I know what you mean!
they are both great but I like the mono best!!
Thanks, Hannah! I’m still not sure which I prefer….
