I never think of using filters but you got some pretty good results.... I guess I have to give it a try now....

The Retro is more like an aged photo to me.. it has an interesting effect.

I like "Let's Go Home" best.

Thank you guys. The "retro" effect is definitely is more washed out than this. I upped the blacks, etc. to make it look better in my eyes.

I used to think the effects were gimmick-y, but I'm really starting to like them.

The filter & your adjustments have created a nice tone to the shots.

I'm also enjoying experimenting with the filters on my e-pl1 at the moment.
