Blind test...can you find the film?

[Lakmir0]

I have been thinking about this lately and wondering...how many people can actually isolate the look of film nowadays? My opinion...almost everyone but I could be wrong. Let's see how many of you can tell which is the film (there is only 1 film shot).

This is for fun and not to put anyone or anything down. Just for entertainment and scientific purposes only.



Good luck.

If one of those is film, I would guess that it is #3, but each of those shots is so different, I don't think anybody is going to be able to say for certain. Though I'm fairly positive that #2 is digital.

Perhaps I should try this test sometime with an identical subject and framing for all three shots.

I don't think anybody is going to be able to say for certain.

I would say that it's #1, as #2 looks too clean and #3 looks like the black levels has been changed.

I say number 1. Number three looks like a digital image altered to look like film, but it doesn't.

What type of film and was the photographer good?

Film is capable of deep blacks, crisp definition and deep DoF... so I don't see how anyone could tell... especially when the film shot has been digitized.

Image number 2 is a ludicrous subject for shooting on 35mm anyway, so even without looking you can tell that wasn't film.
