About This is the house typic in Valencia: La barraca is its name. This is the fishermen home, near the water. his building is very used in the Blasco Ibañez's novels as "Cañas y barro", "La barraca" etc. This great valencian writer was a celebrity here (and all world) at the beginning XX century.
I have made an old effect with the PS looks the my grandfather's photos in remember that age.

For make this work, I taken the shot in the night for the natural grainy.

Merci pour le commentaire ; vous dites que celle-là vous l'aimez vraiment. Et les autres? c'était pas vrai?
Thank you for the comment; you say that that one really please to you. And others? it was not true?
Moi aussi votre baraque je l'aime ; elle me fait penser à une vieille photo faite avec un vieux box kodak. C'est bien, très bien.

Sergio Sánchez   {K:2308} 10/31/2004
Auténtica, realmente parece hecha hace mucho mucho tiempo. No solo los tonos son buenos, sino que el grano y el desenfoque la hacen parecer aún más antigua. Gran trabajo.

Mark Susa   {K:2283} 10/31/2004
Very nice, I love the grain and the overall effect, especially the tone,and the composition. Perhaps sometime you can post a sharp picture for us, and I bet it will be just as good. Was it really dark when you took the picture? How long was the exposure time?
Superb image, Maria, thanks for sharing.

Hola, Maria,
I'm gradually learing several new languages on UF, including Spanish.
You really managed to give this barrack the old grandfather look you were aiming for.
Thank you for your comment on my "Variation d". Some saw in it the white good attempting to escape the black evil.
Saludas and Shalom,
Rafi

Hola Maria Jose,
