- NikolaNovak 4y agoIt's tricky. I got one that was full bright standard colour... from 1912. Normal contrast and hue and saturation, no noise. I assume recoloured later? There are bw photos from 70s and colour photos from 50s. Contrast and noise and hue can give clues, but nothing stops a photographer from using old film in new times. I ended up going for cars and styles more when possible.
- softfalcon 4y agoFair point! Maybe I just got lucky and my 5 or so photos were all time accurate to their development methods!
- kxrm 4y ago> I assume recoloured later? Color capable film has been around since the late 19th century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_color_film_systems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_color_film_systems
- function_seven 4y agoSure, but the character of the saturations and hues is different. I think that’s what parent is talking about.
