STK Posted May 11, 2017 Share #32381 Posted May 11, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) 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. What do you think about dia films like Fuji Provia or Velvia?

chrism Posted May 11, 2017 Share #32382 Posted May 11, 2017 I daresay hundreds of other people have already posed this photograph and taken it: Spring by chrism229, on Flickr I have sadly boxed up my two OM-2n bodies for shipment to the USA. No, I'm not selling them, but sending them to John Hermanson for a CLA so they should be good for a long time to come (hopefully longer than my own expiry date).

stray cat Posted May 11, 2017 Share #32383 Posted May 11, 2017 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 Hi Wayne, I did significant testing years ago in college and concluded that colour negative films perform significantly better over a range of factors with up to one stop overexposure, so I've done that since and I continue to like the results. Ektar is an exception to this rule. The one stop overexposure also works well for me when I use the chromogenic emulsion, Ilford XP2 Super. This was recommended to me by Mary Ellen Mark who knew a thing or two about these things. What do you think about dia films like Fuji Provia or Velvia? Don't know about current Provia, but Velvia 50 works for me slightly overexposed (one third to two thirds of a stop). Depends on the picture of course. Kodachrome was very different - I used to habitually underexpose that by 1/3 stop. Other positive films I found I liked better rated at box speed (like Provia 400X and E100VS) but these are no longer available. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbealnz Posted May 12, 2017 Share #32395 Posted May 12, 2017 It's a nice shot Adam, but the honest side of me says "Heck, the way he makes colour smoke, this would have been awesome". Don't take it negatively, but if you had Ektar/Portra/Velvia in another back, slip a shot up please. As an aside, the foreground bush area looks considerably "higher" than the buildings. This is an illusion I take it? Gary 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stray cat Posted May 12, 2017 Share #32399 Posted May 12, 2017 I need to ask a favour. My Nikon Coolscan 9000 has a broken flap/door thing at the front. I've taken it to the Camera Clinic who said they could get parts, but now they tell me they can't get THAT part. Does anyone know where I could possibly get a spare front flap? Alternatively, does anyone know of smeone who may be able to 3D print one? Thanks a lot for your help. Great pics above, BTW. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardkaraa Posted May 12, 2017 Share #32400 Posted May 12, 2017 What do you think about dia films like Fuji Provia or Velvia? I think there is nothing much to say here. You have to be very clinical with exposures. There is no or little way to correct anything in post. As mentioned above some film liked a slight underexposure, while velvia (original) true speed was 40, the current emulsions are all true to their box speed. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
