But why would you want to fake film? There's nothing wrong with digital, and if you want film, then why don't you use film? Analog SLRs are relatively cheap and you can get cheap film if you search for it.
I'm also skeptical that you can fake film, though. It's just a different technology - it's like making a cotton shirt look like polyester.

i've seen it all. digital has created billions of wannabes but few shepards.
its the eye that sees not the machine, thats just a tool.

^ I get what you're saying, even if I don't entirely agree. To take your argument to it's logical conclusion, you shouldn't agree with shooting/processing in black & white...
I agree that slapping on a "vintage" filter/action onto a digital photo is often used as a shortcut to make a shot look more than it is, but it's just an aesthetic tool - one that will fall out of favour and instantly date a photo (just like spot-colour does now). That said, I think that the effect of film grain is genuinely nice to look at, and I often recreate a bit of grain in a digital photo. I tend to rarely use vintage actions, just because they will date a photo, but carefully used, they can look nice.

No it was taken in Cincinnati Ohio at Colraine Park. I used Kodak film for that. I had a plastic blue filter with a hole in the middle of it to get the blue around the photo.Yellow Records wrote:By any chance, it's a long shot, but idk...polar sky wrote:![]()
Was this taken in Binghamton?
Also, what camera/brand of film do you use???
I use 110 (16mm) Film with a 1984 Kodak Ficher Price 110 Camera.
Here is a picture of the one I use:

You've been parading these same pics for some time now. You didn't quit making pictures did you?polar sky wrote:Use 110 film (16mm)
Here's some of my 110 shots, no photoshop used, just colored plastic filters:
Throw away your smartphone.
Haha I know. I am sure a lot of people are sick of seeing them when I post em. I just don't upload any of my film stuff anymore because I don't have a scannerCupz wrote:You've been parading these same pics for some time now.

I should get a new one. Maybe I scan them using my phone?
I wouldn't say we're sick of seeing them. I'd say we're just more or less disappointed that you haven't posted new stuff yet. Your pictures are amazing and we want more!
