How is something like this achieved? Is it a filter?

Hard to say. Seems like it was a bright cloudy day and the photog over-exposed the shot just a bit. Doesn't explain how sharp and dark the birds are tho. Any idea who took it?

Abbas Kiarostami - Iranian most famous for his film career, but also a fairly prolific photographer. Another of his.
I started taking pictures because of him.

Could be post processing, but honestly it just seems like a good exposure in the right place at the right time and shot on film.

I believe the OP was taken in the 80s

Nah, you couldn't do that in post, or at least if you tried it wouldn't come out quite right. It's def shot on film, probably with an ISO higher than one would usually use to take pics in daylight. That explains why the birds are still so sharp (fast shutter speed) and the artificial look of the mountains (ISO grain)

You are so fucking stupid and yet you continue posting. fucking cuck 2.0, you should kill yourself too

Uh, sorry? How do you think the photo was taken?

Given the recording medium - film - and the climate, weather and lighting conditions of the place this was taken and the strong telephoto compression of a faraway mountain range, I think this is just exaggerated film UV distance haze, which could be further increased by using a blue filter, although I think here it's just a far enough telephoto shot to show natural haze in that area. Remember haze is stronger on film than on digital cameras that all have built-in UV gilters by deafult.

Look at this picture, and imagine an unaltered version next to it. Ask yourself "what is different, and how?"

You guys always just said I was stupid without ever disproving anything I said, and then usually you would just disappear into the woods until the next thread, where you would pop up, get wrecked, and disappear again.
