    @LexanderMiller 2 місяці тому

    Yeah, I got them all right. 1) the DR of the film just doesn't compare to the modern day DR of SLR cameras. Her dress has much more detail in the folds and creases in the digital photo Edit: I posted and then felt the need to say; the DR doesn't compare, but the color contrast of the film seems more pleasing to the eyes. I think you guys might help yourself by compressing the luminance a bit. 2) this is the easiest one. There is that weird banding/lining artifact of color correction on the out of focus rocks but especially handrails and posts. 3) The banding from the last one was there but not so obvious and it could be the way the lens resolved the out of focus background, but this time what gave it away was the sky. There was slight grain in the sky on the digital image and none in the film and in fact, maybe it was YT compression, but I feel like I could see the scan lines in the film sky where the older machine just can't reproduce the natural grade of whites and yellows in the sky. The presets look great though. I don't have $70 to wantonly spend on presets currently, and I think they would need some slight adjustments on my end, but I think the average person buying a photographer's work wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Not that those people really care these days anyway.

  • @thejuxter
    @thejuxter 2 місяці тому

    No it wasn’t that hard to see which ones were film. The difference is bigger than you think and it’s not just about colours and grain. There is a depth that is nigh on impossible to get with simulations.

  • @GUILDWORKSnewmedia
    @GUILDWORKSnewmedia 2 місяці тому

    #1> FILM ON RIGHT #2> FILM ON LEFT #3 FILM ON LEFT FYI, this is a completely non-standard test, as the comparison images are not exact duplicate compositions, and this affects color perception. Also, Monitors have a million variables. You would have to embed all settings in the 2 images, make a single side-by-side composite, and then choose an application to view them in (e.g. lightroom) to have consistency across the spectrum of viewing.

  • @user-mw4zr3re9o
    @user-mw4zr3re9o 3 місяці тому

    I didn’t catch the part where you explained why the photo has to be backlit? Is that because you push the exposure up?

    • @mastinlabs
      @mastinlabs 3 місяці тому

      The main reason we recommend backlighting for a light and airy look is that it provides soft, even illumination on your subject. When the sun is behind your subject, acting as a rim light, it creates a beautiful glow around them. Critically, it also means your subject isn't being lit from the front by harsh, direct sunlight. This backlighting, especially when the sun is low in the sky at around a 45 degree angle or less behind the subject, bathes them in soft, diffused light. It's almost like the world's biggest softbox! This'll give you a great foundation for an evenly lit, glowy portrait. In contrast, front lighting from the sun can create hot spots and dark shadows, especially on faces, leading to a harsher look. Side lighting can be dramatic but tends to split the face into a very bright and very dark side, which goes against the soft, airy aesthetic. Backlighting is all about the quality of light it provides soft, even, and flattering which is perfect for a dreamy looking photo. The pushing of exposure in the edit is a separate step, and not directly tied to the backlighting. But pushing exposure cab help achieve the bright, airy final look. Basically it helps to have a good foundation of soft light to start with. The only exception is when backlighting is combined with other attributes like a busy background or non-neutral wardrobe and then, backlight alone isn't enough for the light and airy look. Hope that helps! :D

    While I love the Gold 200 look, I feel that the edit at 12:00 doesn't look natural. It's backlit and yet the subjects are extremely bright-it's lost natural shadow. While the tones are gorgeous, it looks fake. I guess it ultimately depends what the client thinks, and in this instance they'd perhaps want to see themselves with the baby, and their expressions, over realism.
