WHAT CAN BE SAID IS THE PHOTOS LOOK WAY BETTER ON THE SUBSTACK APP, REGARDLESS OF THE FILTERS, THAN READING FROM THE EMAILED POST. COULD LEAD TO MORE QUESTIONS ❓
halfway through I was about to message/respond/ whatever and tell you that the filters were the thing you wanted from the camera in terms of a marker of an era, and then you arrived there yourself, so I didn't have to message - but I wanted it to be known that I thought that and the world is meaningless, so, nice post
I avoided those filters as much as possible. I was more into just using edits to slightly adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, etc... When I did use the occasional filter, I usually dialed it down a bit to keep more of the original image's integrity intact.
I don’t like overuse of filters or effects of any kind, though I’ll sometimes use some kind of effect then rein it right back in… just a little pinch of vintage, rather than a bucketload of retro, can be nice. Wildly over-processed skies and that thing with water motion are my particular bugbear…
Love this one.

This was really interesting!

For my tastes, the crops do more to enhance than the filters. But I’ve never cared for filters much.
Those filters are so dated! But the pictures are timeless.
The quality drop-off is wild. Fun and thought provoking read. I LOVE being able to see the originals of those crunchy ig burnt posts.

Agree 100%. I looked back this week and found all the iPhone 6 images I took with filters. It was a rite of passage. A brief one.
Sounds like a dream job however I'd have lost my mind over the cropping and filters. But then again I also have control issues...
