A few snaps I took while wandering through an abandoned small town newspaper print house. Lots of gears and grunge.

I like the tone and texture you have here. Special processing? E-M5.2 settings?

Thanks! I'm always drawn to the wear of knobs and switches and wanted to bring out the years of use in those. In LR, I started out with a T-Max 3200 preset (the darkroom still smelled like fixer, so I got into a grainy Kodak mood before I even got my camera out), dropped the grain just a bit, bumped up contrast and played with curves - dropping highlights and raising shadows mainly. Then finally I messed with the clarity slider to dial in the "grit".

Thanks. Sounds like a simple processing pattern.

Simple is all I know

A very nice set. It's too bad that print, which brought news and literature to the masses, is slowly disappearing.

Artisan work. Brought a great many respected jobs as well. Families could be raised well by a printer back in the day. Now the artisans are making beer, but you can still raise a family if you own an artisan brewery. Opening the fourth one within 5 blocks of my house next year!
