How to take a photo like this...

[satanikritual]

So I've been wondering how to take a photo like this: http://b3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/00902/33/29/902319233_l.jpg

Is it taken by some old camera? Or is it just photoshoped? Please give me some tips. I like those little spots, dirtyness and contrast...

I've seen photoshop filters that will achieve this effect... Let me try something.

most old cameras take by far better images.

this looks like a print, put on a very dirty scanner with lots of dust, mud and sand on it.

or someone played with photoshop.

PS is my guess

definitely photoshop. He put the capricorns thing in with photoshop...so it probably wasn't too hard to use some sort of plugin or something to make the picture look crappy.

I don't care about the logo... I just want to now how to take/make that kind of photos. If anybody knows some plug-in or something to photoshop tell me too.

Maybe try adding some noise and messing with the contrast and colors a bit in photoshop?

I was just making a point. I know you don't want the logo.

looks like a texture overlay. a bunch of folks sell dvds of textures...jesh derox, nichole van, etc.

Just find a "grungy" texture, place it as the top layer and set it to Overlay.

Taken with a Canon and photoshopped with PS v.7.0.

Its not what I would call a "quality" pic under any circumstance.

just for fun, I decided to mess around... I'm still very weak with photoshop, but i was able to come close
