There seems to be a lot of interest in "Grunge" type post processing so I thought I would throw my hat in the proverbial ring. I'm using Lightroom 3 for the effects which are actually pretty easy to accomplish (you can find numerous tutorials on the web on the process).



A few adjustments a voila you've given new life to an old photo or at least a new twist. I don't think this will suit everyone's likes but it does yield some interesting and very different results based on the content of the photo. The results can vary from an illustration to an HDR feel.



All three of these photos used pretty much the same general settings but produced very different results. 
This is fun and as I said brings a new perspective to an old photo but like any post processing it can be over done and does not take the place of solid photographic techniques and composition.
