Alright, here’s the big reveal: Option 1 is the digital shot, and Option 2 is the analog one. Thanks for playing everyone!
Some of you can take bragging rights for sharp eyes others for their tech savviness (or both)! I’m also proud that I managed to fool some people
The analog picture was from the first (and so far only) roll of film I ever shot. I thought the pictures would be less contrasty blacks would be more gray and overall colors would be less saturated. Instead black came out inky and the whole photo is super saturated and contrasty!
So now my workflow is applying my ultramax style: (reduced dynamic range, with nice contrast and colors) and then pivot from there (adding some dynamic range back, playing with exposure and colors). This way the results of my edits are more “organic” for lack of a better word.
Edit: Posted a playraw with the same raw file if you want to play around with the picture too.
