I hadn't played much with that Ultimate-Snooper-ap; Jeez We Are Jaded! Increíble techno, at a ~~mouse~~ trackball click..! Ahh.. IF.. ... .... the Teleport-via-Google "3-D-with-Meat-allowed / Sixpence per KG" AP were, at least in beta..

One thing I have noticed whilst processing these is that they don't look at all good when they fill the screen; in this modern world of megapixels and 48-bit colour and so on, every imperfection is writ large across the frame. I normally process pictures at 1:1 in Lightroom. This time, though, I did them with the zoom set to 1:3. Technical perfection is not the goal here. All I've really done is straighten them a bit, give the contrast a bit of a tickle, and remove the most egregious bits of dust and fluff from where I failed to clean the negatives properly.

Lots of places over here love posting old photos showing their history. I would have sworn the first photo was a ~ 1970s Honda Civic but it isn't (at least not a US one). The 1970-early 1980s VW Rabbits looked a little different - e.g. had more chrome. Cheers, Scott.
