Fuzzy at the seaside

[Stevenson Gawen]

Anyone want to guess what camera/lens/medium this was taken on?

 

[Gary R. Smith]

Pin-hole camera with positive paper then manually tinted with water color and scanned to post?

 

[Wes Hall]

Wow Gary, that's almost too specific to think you weren't at the seaside when Stevenson took the shot

Definitely feels film and the vignette makes me think pinhole could be...

But, could also be a small sensor like the Pentax Q and adapted lens

I'd better give the game away before this gets out of hand I don't want to be banned for deception!

It's just a phone shot - DNG processed in Darktable with some 'interesting' colour tweak, grain, and some judicious use of the 'blurs' feature that aims to simulate actual optical blurring, albeit in a simplified fashion.

I was quite pleased with the 'authenticity' of it... hence the quiz.
Sorry it's dull...

Sorry it's dull..

Not dull at all, I quite like the three horizontal color bands.

 

[Brian Moore]

I like it. It's got an infrared vibe happening.

Haha, further proof in the right context most of us couldn't tell what's made the image . I'm a dyed in the distaste phone camera derrider, not for any quantified reason, I just personally dislike mobile phones (contrarian necessity the damn tech is), but you tweaked this good Stevenson.
