The grain in the sky is too much. If you zoom in, you can see yellow grain like flicks of glitter. Real film doesn’t do that unless there’s something atypical.
Here’s a close crop of sky from one of my shots with Fujifilm 400.
You can see the grain but it’s much softer and not as contrasty. I’m using super technical terms because I only just started shooting film.
I think you nailed it. I’m not trying to rain on your parade. I made the comment because I’ve just started getting into photography with a film camera myself. Really, I was looking to nerd out with someone lol
I’m trying out Fujifilm 400 and Kodak Ultramax 400 as I get started. What film are you starting off with?
