I love the look of film - especially when taken by a classic camera like a Nikon F. I own a couple of them but I must confess that this image was digitally processed to make it look like it was taken by an old film camera. Using Nik Software, I think blended the looks of Classic Camera 7 in Analog Effects Pro 2, and the Agfa Film vintage filter in Color Efex Pro 2. I do find it interesting that people like myself use the most up to date software and professional digital camera to get the imperfect look of film. I think of this urban legend that Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones would use the most expensive microphone and the most elaborate studio board during recording - only to try to get a sound as though it was recorded through a crappy cheap microphone.
My colors are off but I like it. As Magnum Photographer Elliott Erwitt's once said - photography "has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them."
Techie Notes: Taken at Ventura Harbor, California using a Canon 24-70mm EF 2.8 ii mounted on the Canon 5d Mk ii (my go-to kit for shooting events like weddings and parties where people are embarrassing themselves). 1/4000, f2.8.
