Escarabajos de colores // Colored beetles [ESP-ENG]
Greetings! Many like to share with family in the month of December. But some can afford to do things differently. For example, we once saw these panas that seem to travel states on board their Volkswagen beetles. They occupied almost the entire edge of the plaza with their beautiful, well-kept vehicles. It was a pleasure to observe these bastions of motor engineering visiting the town. So much so that I walked among friends and we stopped to admire them. I took these photos with my Canon EOS Rebel T3i camera. We talked for a while there and suddenly it seemed like we were in another year. Surely, these people must love this kind of possessions. Well, we should all take care of what we have, and it's commendable that these owners keep these vehicles in very good condition. They sure do enjoy driving them. We at least enjoy watching them.
Bueno, para usar un poco la imaginación y divertirme usando los filtros disponibles para edición de imágenes, les muestro cómo queda una de éstas fotografías como si le hubiésemos pedido a un pintor que hiciera una réplica al oleo:
Well, to use a little imagination and have fun using the filters available for image editing, I show you how one of these photographs looks like if we had asked a painter to make an oil painting replica:
Ahora un par de imágenes a blanco y negro. Envejecí los bordes para darle más apariencia de una foto antigua. Los modelos de vehículos, los bordes, el fondo y los colores hacen que realmente me guste mucho el efecto:
Now a couple of black and white images. I aged the edges to give it more look of an old photo. The vehicle models, the borders, the background and the colors make me really like the effect:
