Please look at the attached. I am interested in your comments. Is it captured in digital or film.

Let's face it. It's a photograph that, at some point, has been digitized. That could be at the time it was taken, or at the time you turned it into a digital file to post it here.

There is no EXIF data, but that could have been stripped.
Um, if the EXIF data were there, how could you deduce if the original was film or digital?
What we're viewing is a digital image.

When asking anyone to review an image, you need to store a file that is 2048-pixels, or longer, on the image long side. There's rarely any comment of value that can be made from a thumbnail.

If the EXIF listed a digital camera, obviously it's a digital capture. The fact that it has no EXIF could mean it was a scan from film, or that the EXIF was stripped.

The fact that we are looking at it here, it's a digital image.
Doesn't matter if the EXIF was stripped or if it was a scan...
We are viewing a digital image.

I guess it matters to the OP. That is the question he is asking - was it captured digitally, or originally shot on film and then digitized.

What do you mean captured? Was it wild and free and now it isn't? Feral mountains?

You aren't familiar with the use of the word "capture" to mean taking a photograph? It's commonly used, especially with digital photos.

Let me help some. It is digital infrared, originally in color. If we could look a print, it would help to see that another photographer could not tell was not a darkroom print. Thanks for your comments.

Based on your question it's digital.

And how does one tell from a digital image if the original shot was on film and subsequently digitized to display it on the web?
Much easier to discern the difference if the film shot is printed on photographic paper and compared to a printed digital image.
