The Autochrome look ...
Passion flower. Digital image with autochrome styling.

To explore more of the ideas behind using grain and muted tones to evoke an ethereal quality when making images I've tried recreating the look of Autochrome, the colour photography process from the early 20C.

I do rather like the stylised, almost painterly, look the recreation provides.

Passion flower without any cropping.

Lots of information and "how-to" instructions at:
