Makina 670

Portra 400

VueScan/LS-9000

 

A little graffiti from the Boardwalk of Asbury Park, NJ.   I was surprised to see how vivid Portra rendered the colors in both images, especially the second. Both represent how I see it when there in person, with hardly any editing in post.  Velvia seems to be an obvious and popular choice for graffiti, Portra seems to do a pretty good job to me....no?

Indeed Marc, based on what you have posted, and bearing in mind we don't know how vivid (or not) the original scene was.

I'd say though, Portra would have to be by far and away easier to use, exposing wise and processing wise, surely.

Gary good remark. :)

In all cases the color is better with film than with the digital

It's  my conviction since 5 years that I return to film :)

Hi Henry,

 

From my own experience, any standard lens of focal length 35mm and wider will produce that "Pisa Tower" effect if shooting while tilting the camera---and yes, it has its charm!

 

I own a MIREX tilt & shift adapter that allows me to use Hasselblad lenses on Canon EOS bodies. In the past, I used it on a 5DII, until I got fed up with all those digitals and sold it. I'm about to use it on a EOS 1 or similar. The combo is heavy and bulky but it is fun! Plus the Carl Zeiss lens!

Paul you're right ... I begin to have WA effect already with my 35 mm for some pictures.

Sometimes It brings a nice effect for one picture.

It doesn't exist WA for Hasselblad ? I think the effect is more visible, no ?

Ok Gary sorry for the confusion ,  but as I said to Adam Velvia and Portra are 2 good films

may be the blue is more beautiful with Velvia deeper than Portra  :) but Portra is a bit sharper !

IMO grains of Ilford HP5 400 Plus are more visible than Kodak TMAX100.

It depends what you like.
