What a great picture. Was it altered by PC or taken using real equipment?

It was altered by me, using a PC.

Which I'm sure is what you were asking, but just to clarfiy I didn't just press a button that said "make old photograph", and the camera, although very real, was modern.

We should have a had a historic camera at the event, but I think he was quarentined at customs with an infectious moustache mite, or some such, before being sent home without any tea.
It's a very sad story.

Hello mate

Well considering that wasn't done with the 'make old photograph' button, I thought it had been its a very good job indeed :) You've a good ey for it, I tried doing that once and then decided to look for the button instead as my efforts where dreadful to say the least. Great job!
