I am sure this is a post processing ,, but does anyone know to do this ?

 

Is this a photo shop, or is this a setting that can be achieved ?

 

Any suggestions or ideas are highly appreciated, thank you.

 

GREAT PHOTO BY THIS GUY ! ,,,, :)

Here's my attempt.

 

I added a sepia layer, then reduced its opacity to 70%. Then upped the contrast with a curves layer. Finally I added some vignetting - this is perhaps a bit overdone.

Jack,

 

I'm sure this has nothing to do with M8, but is digital post processing all the way. Of course you need to start with a DNG (RAW) in order to get the most out of the processing.

 

The toning reminds me of a standard developping preset for Lightroom: "aged photo". There's some desaturation in these photos and some sepia. Furthermore there is a vignette, which I'm sure has been applied on purpose.

 

I'd try a white balance of somewhere around 10.000 (yep, really high) and a desaturation of 60% and start from there. Add the vignette and see what you get. I did some local burning and added a slight graduate filter on the bottom.

 

Oh, and why not ask the guy who took the photos how he did it? I wouldn't mind if someone asked me :p

Someone said it: it looks a bit like LR's "aged photo" preset. What that preset does is reducing saturation, increasing exposure and adding warmth to the photo by pushing WB quite a bit to the right. You might want to add some colour back to the photo using "vibrance" and avoid pushing the exposure as far as the LR preset does, and you'll have more or less what you see in those photos.

If you have iPhoto you can achieve a similar result by selecting 'effects' 'antique' and then 'fade color'. The great thing about this process is that you can make progressive changes and preview before saving. Also, no need to work with RAW images...
