Don't get too Photoshoppy, Stone. I did dumb luck bag a deliberate redux pictorialist shot on the beach not long ago, with some amateur plein-air painters and
their little easels propped up on the sand. What made this one work is that it was one of the rare instances I was carrying both fast-operating MF gear and soft
Portra film. The light was very soft and diffused, and one of the painters was a little old lady in exactly the right colors, a bonnet, and pretty much old-fashioned
looking clothes just like an old stereotypical Victorian shot of a painter, but anachronistically of course, with everyone else in the background in bikinis or whatever. A nice fun shot, if I ever get around to printing it.
