To my eyes they have a look of old colour prints printed on newspaper.
Overall, not a bad appearance.

That's a very effective filter, John. I do like the effect. It's something I try to do from time to time when post processing but these are much better.
I am fond of Whitby: we've happy memories of holidays spent in Yorkshire.

That filter has certainly captured the look of some 30 plus year old slides taken out of their box and viewed. Very effective. Presumably you can take in RAW and subsequently apply the filter to make a copy?

It was a JPEG capture. I have a selection of filters set up for use via the front quick dial of the Q cameras.
It's a question of approach. In this instance, I decided in advance what effect I wanted from the shots and shot accordingly. That's the way it used to have to happen when we used film.
Using digital cameras, the thought process is almost always the other way round. We shoot the image and then decide the style later. There are no rights and wrongs, but it does affect the thought process and I think sometimes it's a part of what makes us want to try out film again.

Thanks John - you're right of course about film. One had to think a lot more about what we were trying to achieve pre-capture. And that was a good discipline. The danger with digital of doing it the other way round is that so many images 'lie around' on the HD untouched as it were!

The colour changes look very effective John, but the graininess appears to be more pronounced than it appears in my old colour prints.
Cheers.

They look like autochromes, very nice

I like them all .... I agree that the effect works well and suits the place very well. Do you have any control over the size of the grain in the camera settings?

The grain was part of the final tweak in Photoshop, to give the very effect that Ken noticed.
Best regards, John

One of the things I tried was the Antique Colour filter on the Q-S1. I quite liked the effect, so here are some images processed in camera, with a final tweak in Photoshop. These are not in the blog.
