With all the debate going on at the moment I thought it might be fun to present a set of images for you to guess the origin - film or digital. Prize for the winner will be a large box of smugness ;) The first 5 images are with this post and the last 2 with the next. Cameras used are film SLR, Film RFs, MF RF, Digital RF and Digital SLR.

Please do not take this too seriously :bang:

I'll reveal all sometime later.

All are digital?
This could be film http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=35732&d=1162915739
On all of them highlights are very badly damaged, you don`t get 100% white on film, so you have altered film photos :D

They are all analog in origin!:D

Seriously, I only looked really quick (late for work!) but I think the middle two of the first batch and the dog in the second, are digital.

1-digital, because it's wine glasses
2-digital, because it's people having a meal
3-film because it's a record of boats stuck in mud
4-digital because its about homework
5-digital because its about a guy in a kilt.. who really wears kilts anyway right?
6-film because it's a dog and dog photography is serious and I like dogs

Please don't reveal because my mind's made up okay?

Badly damaged highlights are my speciality in both film and digital :D

If I'd thought analog instead of film I know I would have done better. I'm an analog guy.. shame on me. Thanks Mikael for setting me straight.

One sharp eyed customer has 6 out of the 7 correct :eek:

The 10 x 8 inkjet prints of these images don't reveal any more info - that is, the screen shots are very close to the prints. At larger sizes it might be more obvious.

If I were to produce the same image shot on film and digital with comparable equipment, then it would probably be easier to differentiate. However, I think this shows that it is not always obvious which is which.

Answers to be published later this evening. Anyone spot the M8 shot?

6 out of 7. I whiffed on the dog. Does this mean I get a half-bucket of smug?

If it had been anything other than the dog I would have said yes, but she's hurt that you thought she was digital :D
