I got excited about it being a film photo but it's just a filter. Nice composition though!
How can you tell it's a filter vs actual film?
I think it may be the level of "film grain", as well as a bit of glow around the buildings in the sky, both are a bit too high admittedly, I honestly just liked the look of the shot with the added grain and I've just started getting into photo editing so I'm still not too great at it. I probably should've put some sort of disclaimer in the description that it was edited rather than an actual film photo. I do have some old 35mm point and shoots and even an early 80s ricoh SLR I just got, but haven't gotten to use them quite just yet, my first film roll is supposed to come in in a few days so I should hopefully have some actual scanned film photos coming in a couple months or so.
I think you nailed it. I'm not trying to rain on your parade. I made the comment because I've just started getting into photography with a film camera myself. Really, I was looking to nerd out with someone lol
I'm trying out Fujifilm 400 and Kodak Ultramax 400 as I get started. What film are you starting off with?
Oh no you're totally fine! At the moment since I'm new to film photography I'm just starting off with some kodak gold 200 since it's fairly cheap by film standards, I'll likely just use that until I feel more comfortable shooting film then once I'm confident enough with the medium move up to some nicer fujifilm, maybe superia 400.
