>>7848909Well for 100 years before the advent of digital photography, photos were taken by exposing physical film and then developing the film. Most of the images I post were taken using analog film cameras that were manufactured in the 70s, 80s, or 90s. It's what gives the photos their distinctive color and tasteful "graininess."
I'm a very, very amateur photographer myself and I've experimented with shooting film but I just don't really have the time, money, or energy to fully invest in it. But I have worked quite a bit on replicating the look of film on my digital shots, with mixed results. I'm happy enough with the results that I don't really bother too much with actually shooting film anymore.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/190038443@N05/I use a lens from an old Minolta film camera and then process my photos a little bit by playing with the contrast, color balance, and saturation and then adding a little bit of "noise" to the photos in a photo processing program. And I guess one other characteristic of these photos is a "low focal depth" or low depth of field. You can google those and learn more about what they mean if you're interested.
If you like these types of photos I'd encourage you to pick up a cheap used camera somewhere and just start shooting and experimenting. It's fun.
