Why can't digital into color like this? Why is it often instantly obvious a photo was taken on film or digital? What is it that prevents digital from looking as pleasing as film? I don't think it's just a bias or nostalgia.
because the people who designed the emulsions are better than most people at editing raws
also because that image has godlike light in the perfect direction against nice appealing objects
>>3065092
Well shouldn't there be digital photographers able to find the right lighting and have good editing skills?
>>3065095
There are but this is all irrelevant to you since this is just a bait thread anyway
>>3065101
>There are
But where can I find them?
>>3065108
Better start going to galleries, or googling
>>3065113
Could you post some?
>>3065129
Stop shilling your snapshit blog
>>3065129

all the subsequent images - typical shit tier digicolour.
way to btfo yourself with your own fucking example.
8x10 does this crap as a one-shot, btw

lololololololololololololol

Even for the nth time still worthless shit and hipster/10. I hope someday someone puts comparable quality shots in your face, perhaps until you'll start to puke too.
I hate this shot profoundly! Also your perception has to be really hindered or you are blinded by nostalgia! If your camera were digital, I'm sure you'd be annoying us with your brand and gear talk. Fuck off!

These honestly just look like snapshits to me. Nice composition but that's it. Am I missing something?
can someone please tell me who took this anyways, not the first time I've seen a thread like this either lol
digislugs already roasted and rustled. good thread.
>say colors "like this"
>don't specify what you are looking for
>when people post examples, dismiss them as wrong
>wait for thread two die
>wait two weeks
>post again
>???
>autism
this thread again? even with the same OP picture.
kys film shills.
>>3068118
y-you too
>>3068113
>>when people post examples
I don't see any.
>>3067099
OP's picture is an Eggleston.
Egglestons photography is basically godly, and I'd have to agree digital colouring is shit, after fucking with levels then you may get some good colour but nothing that stands up to colour film !

how is this one i took ?

Nothing special.

the fact that it's possible to display it on a screen is proof that digital can into colour like that
>bump

is this the sound of a meme on life support?
Here's a pic of some sheep I took with Superia 400.
I took some similar raws with my girlfriends digital Nikon and couldn't come close with Lightroom no matter how hard I tried
I'm with OP to be honest. Digital is more convenient and cheaper but I never find the results as appealing

Not really... It's the fact that it was scanned using a sensor, the exact same technology in digital cameras, that proves it.
Computational photography, on the other hand, can also be displayed on a monitor, but can do things that violates laws of physics, so that alone is not enough.
>>3070274
How much colour correction does pic related have?
>>3073606
None on my end, that's the scan I got directly from the lab
Whether the lab's scanner applied any correction or not I don't know
Okay.
Film is biased based on the colors and how chemicals reproduce them, and over 50+ years of experience and brilliant minds trying every combination under the sun, the output was the pinnacle of how one can translate an image onto a physical medium.
However, digital cameras have pixels, which in essence, like recording audio on a CD versus vinyl, may not have the type of "bit detail" as a vinyl would (think cameras with lower megapixels; you get the entire song as a whole but you may not have many nuances only the most expert would search for), but this detail is completely marred by the fact that you convert energy (light or sound) into a physical medium.
Digital sensors however, are much better suited at understanding the energy impulses that a photon or light wavelength can leave, and basically can store this as it's raw info.
From years of seeing edited images and films, photos of real life unedited and taken digitally, tend to look flatter and way less "smooth" / appealing because you aren't seeing the colorations that the translation to a physical medium, provides, and the numerous years we've had to cater for it, much like 120 gram vinyl or exotic cartridges and turntables.
However. One can argue that while you can take a very high megapixel photo, edit it and emulate grain, and have it transferred to the physical through newer digital to film methods, a digital shooter can produce a film shot indistinguishable from the characteristics of film, while to do it the other way is almost impossible without sourcing the finest films and flawless darkroom technique, not to mention scans and all the work it takes.

Forgot to say:
Film is like adding the pops and crackles to the song; for some, that's the truest experience, dynamic and "colored" off the vinyl, while those of us who grew up in digital see film looks as "old" simply because we immediately spot (or hear) the differences between coloration and purity.
This is NOT however to say film is worse. Need dumb ass high resolution shots? Rolly. Want the experience of taking your time and not relying on a delete button? Film. Archiving photos and you don't trust how hard drives and solid states both degrade data faster than a properly preserved glass plate or film stock?
All else, go to digital because well, are you doing this to enjoy the experience, like a vintage vinyl, or approaching this as a modern HQ MP3?
>>3073614
I'm clearly not fooled into thinking your picture is shot with film. Neither have you an understanding of the energy impulse that a photon can leave to make a picture. You suck.
>>3073645
>Implying ultimately, DSLR's do not convert the raw intensity, frequency, and impulse of said photons and energy into electronic signals versus an imprint on a physical medium

You're not fooled because I wasn't trying to, and implying any photo here can actually fool you without looking purposely fuzzy and punchy to imply film.
If I suck, then you definitely blow. See how that works?

ah ok. looks great
