Historic one room schoolhouse ~ 1800's

If you want to made a digital color image look like an old B&W film image ... you should start by examining the characteristics of old B&W images.
example: Over the Hill, Getting Old, Retirement, Senior Citizen Photos
Then reproduce those artifacts.

thanks, I just bookmarked those links.

I like pic 1 but I'd have lit the door/front porch up a little with off camera flash or maybe reflectors and drug that picnic table out of the scene.

then if i looked like you I'd have put the camera on a tripod in timer mode and posed in front of that door too

Umm M stands for manual...if it's a Canon, AP is aperture priority and Tv is shutter priority. M is full manual.

Thanks, I'm not finsihed editing. I actually posted the worst of my edits to see what you would say. I wanted to drag out that picnic table, but it is marked at historic "DO NOT TOUCH A THING." You tryn to get me in jail, LOL!! I have an appointment Wed to see to inside. I can actually re-do #1 and bring out the door and porch. I have to get ready for this Van Halen concert tonight, provided I am not hung-over tomorrow, I will re-do #1. p.s. If I put it on a tripod, and time it, I will have to dress in 1800's type clothing with my hair in a bun

Since you shoot in full manual, why shutter speed 1/350 and f4.5 on a very bright sunny day?

What would you suggest my shutter speed to be?

Well, dam sam...I just have it all backwards. I should have had A set at f16 and shutter speed at 1/60.

To be honest, it depends on the lighting condition at the time that you take the picture. It's a combination of both aperture and shutter speed, since your ISO is already at 100. IMHO, the color version appears to be very bright and colors are washed out so the aperture/shutter speed combination may not be optimal. Well, unless you were going for that looks.

Sunny 16 is probably a good read.

As I said above, f/16 may have been a better option and shutter speed at 1/60. I'm going back Wed.

I'd go a bit higher than that if your're not using a tripod.
Distance from the subject, and the focal length of the lens you're using............you could get away with F8 and a higher shutter speed than 1/60.
Like 1/160 - 1/180 or something and still have plenty depth of field. Depending on if you have the same lighting as you did for these images.
While still keeping ISO low.

That's right, you need to reproduce those artifacts like incredible detail and beautiful tonality.
