Do you have a trained eye for analogue? Take this test and find out!
As I was browsing through photos on the Lomography website, I realized that some photos seemed to scream “analogue” while others were slightly more ambiguous. I don’t feel as though I always can tell the difference between a digital and analogue photo at first glance. Sure, there are some of the obvious telltale signs – light leaks, vignetting, dust or scratches on the film, but it made me wonder…how many people in the lomo community can tell the difference between digital and analogue?
Below I have a mixture of digital and analogue photos. Can YOU tell which ones are analogue, and which are digital? Post your answers below if you think you know! (No cheating by looking at my home!)

5, 9, 12 for sure.
Maybe 1, 2, and 8.

I'm usually pretty good with spotting the difference, but i might be wrong!
1 digital, 2 digital, 3 analogue, 4 analogue, 5 digital, 6 digital, 7 analogue, 8 digital, 9 digital, 10 analogue, 11 analogue, 12 digital

Too data... You have posted the answer, but (If someone want to believe me) I had just one mistake before reading answers.

Kind of misleading. Analog doesn't have to be blurry and off color, and digital can be. If you compare a crappy plastic camera to a modern digital, yes, you can tell the difference, but a decent film camera will rival digital. I am a film guy, and have fun with my Holga's and 110 cameras, so I'm not saying that's not OK, it's just not the only thing.
