capturing it in-camera vs. post effects

Recently I've been participating in challenges with some friends. Our most recent was the idea of photographing "THROUGH". Here are my captures, all film, with the new kodak porta.

The first two are warm to me, very romantic. I think its funny to note that there are a lot of photographs that look this way-- the key difference is that this is not digital manipulation or an iPhone app that is creating this look. This is what I saw through my viewfinder.




These next two are eerie. I'm pleased with them as well. It was pretty cool to get two completely different looks on the same afternoon, depending on what I was using between my lens and the subject.



So what are you waiting for? Go try this yourself. It was fun.

This is awesome. I love the dreamy quality to the first ones, and while you used the word eerie for the next two, the word that keeps going through my mind is ethereal. Regardless of what word you use, these are gorgeous.
