<p>Hi All,<br /> I want to create - or capture, or express - a certain feel and tone in images. There is a tone and colour that I like in some images, and in other images of same or similar location the tone and colour gets completely different.<br /> <br /> I am trying to find out why is that. I like gentle but clear tones and colours, with no strong blacks and balanced contrasts. Some of the images I like are here on the links below, and I would be extremely happy if you could help me to find out what equipment has been used to get those? Is it film or slide film? is it mobile phone camera? DSLR? GoPro Hero? Is it the natural light of northern latitudes? Post-processing? I imagine all those factors influence the end result, but what is the crucial, the main element, which gets you closest to such results?<br /> <br /> I hope the 12 images below will help to explain what tone, colour and style I am after.<br /> I do not think it is the post-processing only as no matter what you do in Lightroom, if you do not have something to begin with, one will always end up with results far from desired.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/10/a9/50/10a950b75f6208e079a8ed097eaeb45d.jpg">https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/10/a9/50/10a950b75f6208e079a8ed097eaeb45d.jpg</a><br /> <a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/64/84/83/648483f4335604790c759df472cc445b.jpg">https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/64/84/83/648483f4335604790c759df472cc445b.jpg</a><br /> <a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/dc/dc/d6/dcdcd6410b5f29123826f74a141bf82b.jpg">http://41.media.tumblr.com/5552e37b14ce971f767bf55fa999d1b4/tumblr_nj8wa8Eax01qza249o1_500.jpg </a><br /> <a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/6d/5c/4e/6d5c4e3020e950c47e9795dbd466b312.jpg">https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/6d/5c/4e/6d5c4e3020e950c47e9795dbd466b312.jpg</a><br /> <a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/a8/ba/b4/a8bab484d35202c32f8399b65b550ada.jpg">https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/a8/ba/b4/a8bab484d35202c32f8399b65b550ada.jpg</a><br /> <a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/0b/47/fc/0b47fc11a3d3ce68a94ed54169414eec.jpg">https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/0b/47/fc/0b47fc11a3d3ce68a94ed54169414eec.jpg</a><br /> <a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/23/fb/d1/23fbd1ce3fb6b1a662ce8f82460a7cee.jpg">https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/23/fb/d1/23fbd1ce3fb6b1a662ce8f82460a7cee.jpg</a><br /> <a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/44/67/c8/4467c89421b232d106027af6fb7212bc.jpg">https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/44/67/c8/4467c89421b232d106027af6fb7212bc.jpg</a><br /> <a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/43/1f/84/431f84ef96ac45b007279896607cf982.jpg">https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/43/1f/84/431f84ef96ac45b007279896607cf982.jpg</a><br /> <a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/4e/5e/22/4e5e22b9409a4e0f0019124b3aab8a4f.jpg">https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/4e/5e/22/4e5e22b9409a4e0f0019124b3aab8a4f.jpg</a><br /> <a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/e4/5c/fb/e45cfb0796f1ea254c435f77c41bc9a3.jpg">https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/e4/5c/fb/e45cfb0796f1ea254c435f77c41bc9a3.jpg</a><br /><a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/24/bc/66/24bc665e309b12e8f59a496af4af53b9.jpg">https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/24/bc/66/24bc665e309b12e8f59a496af4af53b9.jpg</a><br /> <br /> Many many thanks for your kind help!! :)<br /> p.s. since I am a beginner and I believe many beginners might have similar questions, I put it here. <br /> Luka</p>
