Overuse of orange/teal (or other similar unnatural) color grading. I can understand it at some photos for expressing a mood, but why is it almost everywhere and especially in nature photos…
Oh no, the trend just shifted. Before orange/teal it was lifting the blacks to look milky and faded, before that it was using the colour curves in post to add wild shifts to the shadows to look like a holga. Now we are doing jpeg “recipes” by overcooking the white balance because it’s easier to make everything look like a 7500k muddy sepia than composing colour, and putting on cheap diffusion filters even in the day time to turn $1000 lenses into $80 lenses that look “filmic” or like you touched the front element with greasy fingers.
Can you tell I don’t like this trend? 😂
It’s ironically why the price of Fujifilm second hand has doubled or more over the past two years. People think it’s a Fujifilm colour thing. When you can do the urine filter style on literally any camera.
For some reason I really prefer cool tones in my photos so this is a big one for me
The hype about the yellow duochrome Polaroid on r/Polaroid not only makes no sense to me, but I feel like an ass because I don’t like any of them. I just don’t like the colors at all
Personally I often find myself having to add more of a blue filter over photos sometimes if I’m editing a photo more to my liking color-wise. So many have that orange tint to them like you say.

Mercifully it seems to be a little less lately…

Can you give an example of the latest one you’re talking about?
Fujixweekly is the Bible for people trying to do that trend.

I call the yellow/orange color grading “welcome to Mexico”. Every movie or TV show set in Mexico for the last 10 years seems to use it.
Season two of Lincoln Lawyer just did it in a Mexico scene and it was really exaggerated. I’m no film buff but it was beyond the stereotype bad.

Came here to say this
Yep
This is because Sony cameras push picture in orange/teal. And Sony is everywhere.
