Wayne Posted May 11, 2017 Share #32363 Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) I have been reading a bit on shooting color film. There seems a huge school of shooters out there who advocate "overexposure," possibly as many as two or three stops, above meter readings rendered for the film's stated ISO value. I have been treating my color film the same as my B&W and just shooting per stated ISO value. Are the rest of you folks doing the same?, or are you treating your color film as though it has a lower ISO value? Best, Wayne Edited May 11, 2017 by Wayne 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the rest of you folks doing the same?, or are you treating your color film as though it has a lower ISO value? Best, Wayne I shoot color negative film at the stated ISO, keeping in mind that it doesn't like underexposure. Some emulsions are better than others. Portra can take easily 1stop underexposure while Fuji negatives will not. Overexposing by two or three stops may produce interesting results for portrait and wedding photography but again it depends on the specific emulsion you're shooting. For instance, Ektar should not be overexposed by more than one stop while Portra and pro 400H can take at least 4-5 stops.

Michael Hiles Posted May 11, 2017 Share #32366 Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) Suggest you test. Point at a gray card (or newspaper text out of focus) and make exposures of .5, 1.0, 1.5 (or more) stops over and under the box speed. And of course box speed... The one that best represents the gray card density will be your best ASA. Other people's experiences are interesting and sometimes might be useful - creating your own experience is best, in my experience.

Doc Henry Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share #32367 Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) An interesting comparison: http://canadianfilmlab.com/2014/04/24/film-stock-and-exposure-comparisons-kodak-portra-and-fuji/ Thanks Edward , both Portra have a nice rendering in color IMO ... don't forget : "each new film is a new sensor" for those who still shoot digit. The choice of films still cost less than the change of digital cameras (quickly obsolete) every 3 years ... and buy all film brands you like and make tests according to your preference I was a fan user of Fuji before ! now Portra Best Henry Edited May 11, 2017 by Doc Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramarren Posted May 11, 2017 Share #32371 Posted May 11, 2017 I thought this might be interesting to film users. It's a Kickstarter campaign to fund the development of a smartphone app (iOS and Android) that allows you to quickly capture a negative to a positive image with your smartphone. I figure it would be good for previsualization and review before you get into your full scanning or darkroom print workflow. Kickstarter: Film Lab app I opted in early so that I can be part of the beta testing. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
