i don't know a name for it but different films have different tones, so you could possibly check out this list of films with examples for each

http://curatingcuteness.com/2013/05/35mm-film-guide/

and then look that up

it has virtually nothing to do with the lens and more to do with the film or the post-processing done to the digital photo

but I'm a photography pleb, I like my shitty D5000 (not to mention the fact that the OP pic was taken with a D300 of all things)

Cool, thanks! I'm tempted to just stick with digital because I'm fully aware that I don't have the skill right now to be confident that a scene will turn out the way I want, but the descriptions in that link definitely help with putting my lack of knowledge into words

>>2772554
All that turns up when I Google VSCO is an iPhone app, what are you trying to tell me lol

It's a decent filter set that fools plebs easily.

Honestly shoot film, it's much easier, way more rewarding than you realize.

A good film camera and tons of cassettes (35mm is full frame with 25 mega pickles, and most importantly with slide film more dynamic range than anything out there) is cheaper than a good camera ( Pentax k-3 II, Canon 5d II, Fuji x-t1 ).

I shoot both but I love film so much more.
Film is truly art form. It's used for so many movies and professional instances, I can literally tell at an instance now ( recent star wars was all film ).

>>2772572
I meant 35mm is 25 MP equivalent, and it's full frame by definition.

The only bitch is digitization, but there's plenty of good options.

>>2772556
This is a sensible plan. I shot about 15,000 pics in my first year being serious about photography. I'm shooting film now but there's no way I could have improved at the speed I did if I was shooting film back then. It would have cost way too much.

>not Sony
Give up

Found the shitter using deprecated sensor tech

VSCO will work the same way but part of it is PP.
Don't be scared of using film if you already know how to user a shutter speed dial and judge exposure.

C41 (mostly colour) film has a lot of latitude and is actually more forgiving than you may think.

>>2772605
Color neg is obscenely forgiving (bar Ektar). Accidentally shot a roll of Ultramax 400 at 100 because I forgot to change the ISO for my meter. Came out just fine, really smooth tones.

No way you could consistently overexpose by 2 stops on digital and expect it to come out well

>>2772612
I'm pretty sure digital can withstand 7 stops overexposure.

Not really. DR on sensors is more suited towards shadows. Overexposing highlights in digital leads to clipping usually. Film has a lot more latitude for overexposing highlights.
This was a super quick test. When I used Aperture instead of shutter speed to Over/Underexpose, the result of highlight clipping was much worse.

Digital sensors lose a huge amount of shadow latitude when they are underexposed compared to when you overexpose. You can bring back overexposed areas a lot while retaining shadows by exposing to the right. When something is underexposed, most of the data is simply lost; replaced by noise. However, overexposing retains much more data, giving you much more latitude when editing, along with better noise in the shadows because of how digital sensors work.

Familiarize yourself with ETTR.

That anon is, of course, completely wrong. On my camera, my default exposure compensation is usually just below or at +1, unless I'm watching the histogram, in which case I could compensate up to +2.

I would go so far as to say that most photographers underexpose their RAWs and lose the ultimate possible picture quality by leaving exposure compensation at 0.

I'm already familiar with it. Thanks for nothing I guess.
>That anon is, of course, completely wrong.
No shit. You can't just overexpose 7 stops and expect a digital sensor to not clip highlights.
>Digital sensors lose a huge amount of shadow latitude when they are underexposed compared to when you overexpose.
This is highly situational and most times there is more details in the shadows than in the highlights. Not every scene is suited for ETTR/EFTS. Noise in the the shadows/black is preferable to lost data in the highlights though.

At the same time, It can also be better to underexpose digital at a lower ISO/Sensitivity and push than to increase the gain of the sensor. Use common sense when under/overexposing.

TL;DR:
Expose your images properly when you can with digital and lose a headache, Pull > push in tough situations and don't over-expose.

Fuck off jojo faggot.
