pics you took that you're pleased with

You are right guys, there are limitations and it is difficult to draw that line.

OK, so how should I ask to get some really realistic-like photos?

thought it best I use my voice to reply to this one

filters might not be important but fucking recording it at the right volume is, you shit

If the purpose of that example was the demonstration of filters, you failed hard.

it's pretty bollocks to talk about seeing as if we were still BITD and using real cameras and film then we'd be doing post in the darkroom and no-one would be like 'can you process that shot again mate i think i'd prefer it sat in the developer for another 2 seconds tbh'

oh no they would, i forgot.

Least they haven't started talking about nulls.

I think he's just asking for some photos with a neutral colour balance and exposure, no point in making such a big deal about it.

I don't know why though, pro photgraphers have been using specific film stock for ages to achieve certain colour balance and contrast ratio, even using high iso film to ad noise when there's plenty of light. Nothing wrong in emulating that in the digital format if you ask me. Digital often looks pretty flat and boring sooc, because of limited dynamic range and whatnot.

Fuck, I'm just as bad as you guys. Sorry Jev

can you post that again without punctuation so i can get ore meanings from what you wrote

That's OK, mate. I thought about it more and I agree it is a highly relative topic.

Yeah, I am basically interested in some good neutral pics that present atmosphere of a place/objects as true-to-reality as possible. It has unique feeling to me.

I saw this pictures from pre-revolution Russia and it struck me how normal everything seemed. If they were in black and white or in a super-bad/old quality it would probably feel mystical/magical/from different era etc (like WW2 pictures). I realized how manipulating (in both good and bad ways) stylized photos are so I started to prefer the "boring" ones if you know what I mean.

Sorry, I don't understand your point.

film cameras have a special quality that digital doesn't, maybe that's what you're after

I understand that but my point was that those pictures from pre-revolution Russia seem so normal and "boring" (even though they are analog) which I really enjoy. I am basically looking for pictures "without character" if you like.

For example these pictures from 70's NY has tons and tons of character and vibe but I would love to see them in similarly "boring" quality like this picture for example. Of course I would not expect 70's NY pictures IN a modern, digital camera quality but the more neutral the better.

Not-very-well-focused microscope shots of rocks, look quite IDM

very nifty, reminds me of that guy who did the artwork for The Downward Spiral

yo Mr. Sagan, those are nice, specially the middle one
