Ah, good question, both of you.. what I mostly meant by "realistic": something which I haven't changed completely in Photoshop or by cross-processing. :-)

Re: PHOTOS AS USUAL (4.00 / 4)

Well, cross processing is a trend, while PS is just as a darkroom (less smelly though) !

There is also a trend in saturated colors ("vivid" they say in manuals), but as Sven said, it's also about culture !
Have you seen any movies from J-P. Jeunet, each has a slight green dominance for drama... He tests his films quite thoroughly and at one time even wanted some 3D software for calibrating some scenes !

I agree however that color isn't easy, most times it goes for a "busy" picture... But you can also almost have a B&W "colored" effect in some...

This was a quick shot in "clair obscur", "The writer" ! (a fellow teacher) :-)

Black gamma raising is my current favourite. It makes images more velvety

Well, I've seen Amelie, which I adored, especially the garden gnome.

Wonderful shot.

You should see "Delicatessen" and "The city of lost children", as they are quite incredible... And a very special form of journalism ! :-)

Re: PHOTOS AS USUAL (none / 1)

Hmmm, I've actually seen those, just did not remember whose films they were.

Agree (4.00 / 4)

Loved Amelie ... Here's my photo homage to the saturated colour of Jeunet ... :)

Fascinating photos this week, and interesting discussion on B&W!

The Friday Photography Blog series is just wonderful, and I look forward to it every week.

Nice one... Though a bit small :-)

I like the "more then open" feature of the flower with a shallow depth of field !
