i'm new to photography, and i've been looking at some pictures i really like.
most of them are older, so it might just be aging.
ROGELIO LOPEZ MARIN (Gory) does a lot of desaturation.
there is a picture of a swimming pool with chairs lined up around it facing the sea.
is there a certain type of film i should use?
transparency, negative?
push or pull?
thanks.

Can you post a link? Most modern colour films are quite highly saturated so it's hard to achieve what you describe without post processing.

this looks photoshopped, but some of the pictures on the show i watched were'nt, but they still look similar to this.
the show was Independent Lens on PBS if you ever get the chance to see it.
its also called REVOLUC!ON

Looks like some good use of a graduated neutral density moreso than the film to me.

Neutral density grad probably, but wide angle definitely. For some reason, wide lenses tend to give a little extra punch to colors.
Anyone have an explanation?
Slide film can render things more saturated than negatives can, and do it more gracefully. There are a crop of high saturation negative films out there but it seems like when you get something really brightly colored in the scene, all detail is lost in it.
Try a roll of slide film if you have a way to get the images into the form you ultimately want. If no, use negative film or digital.
Hope this helps!
