Back in fash­ion, the 70s have also their pho­to­graphic face. If you are of my gen­er­a­tion or older, you remem­ber the 70s quite well. Point and Shoot pho­tog­ra­phy with sim­ple 35 mm cams became pop­u­lar. Plas­tic lenses and cheap lens’s dis­tor­tions, zoom avail­able to any­one … pho­tog­ra­phy gained a wider pop­u­lar­ity. While film devel­op­ment cost was still high, the Point and Shoot cam­eras of the sev­en­ties guar­an­teed at least a clear picture.

Sta­bi­liz­ers were not yet avail­able but the shut­ter speed was set to 1/100 or 1/125 so that most pic­tures came back shake-free and fairly sharp with wide depth of field.

Sev­en­ties

In fact, why fil­ter­ing at all? At a time when most any­one can shoot a sharp pic­ture and where Dig­i­tal Cam­eras do “it” all, the trend to fil­ters is increas­ing; maybe because most images are taken using auto­matic cam­era set­tings, which give to all those pic­tures the “same look”. That “same look” often is flat and lack­ing depth, soul and emotion.

Seek­ing the imper­fec­tion of the pop­u­lar cams of the 70s can help to dis­tin­guish your pic from the indus­trial mass output.
