Photographes are visual food, why not dress the borders nicely ?
Borders are part of the visual experience....
I started doing it to tease (or piss off?) Sanders McNew and honestly the first time I did it, it was a digital shot framed like film just to see if anyone could tell the difference.
But now I change the borders to signify which media I use, small format, 120, big, etc.
The browser can really mess up the shadow separation so I uploaded two versions. I am trying for a feeling of dark creepiness....
and just for whatever....
Frank. I like film borders too. I know you actually know your shit and can handle a Crown Graphic so it doesn't bother me that yours fake.
It does get my panties in a bunch though when digi-dorks add film borders and have no flying clue....
Frank I'm immediately thinking... darkness with a hint of sadness. Great cover for a Irish folk album! Could you photoshop out the cameras;0
I hate it when they leave a comment, "Nice Capture" -- makes me want to puke.

Frank, Considering your stated objective, my suggestion would be to either lose the legs entirely (preferable) or show the feet.Quote:
