Sparkassenkunde Posted February 16, 2016 Share #11363 Posted February 16, 2016 Is that a scan of a print ? I would prefer to scan prints for posting but the dust can be so bad with prints and a little more manageable scanning negatives. This is a negative scan - but the film was very curly and I didn't take much care. As it was just a test roll to see how my summitar handles color, I did no re-scan so far. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A miller Posted February 16, 2016 Share #11365 Posted February 16, 2016 A very bright and hot midday in early Sept a couple of years ago. The Millau Bridge as seen from the viewpoint at the northern end. MP, Summaron 35mm, Acros 100. Keith - LOVE this one. It seems a little overexposed and wonder whether a little more drama could be gained from dialing down the highlights just a bit in order to bring in more mid-tones. Could just be my monitor. In any case, it has great lines and depth. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattsy Posted February 16, 2016 Share #11367 Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks, Christoph. The portra 800 is ok for this type of shooting. I shoot it about the same way that I shoot portra 400 pushed 1 stop (by over exposing a bit). But it is considerably more expensive than the portra 400 and I am coming around to thinking that the 400 is a little better for this type of shooting. It handles the push really well and is more balanced in its colors (the 800 is warmer). Adam, I'm not sure from your description whether you are pushing the film (underexposing and compensating with extra development time) or overexposing and developing at box speed (which isn't a push)?

Guest JMF Posted February 16, 2016 Share #11368 Posted February 16, 2016 Hi all, thanks to this thread, I am sorting out my films and files and have to apologize for some recent mistakes in labeling the film stocks !

A miller Posted February 16, 2016 Share #11369 Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) Adam, I'm not sure from your description whether you are pushing the film (underexposing and compensating with extra development time) or overexposing and developing at box speed (which isn't a push)? sorry for not being clear. For shooting in the street, I typically will develop portra 400 at 800 and I will expose at around 400 based on my incident meter reading. So it is a 1 stop push over box speed. The various subjects in a typical street scene will have varying degrees of light falling on it, including many shadow areas. Given this lack of consistent luminence (and appreciating the wide latitude of film, which can tolerate over-exposure quite a few stops quite well), the 1'ish stop of over exposure (relative to the 800 rating) helps get to the detail in the areas that have less light falling on them, while not blowing highlights in the areas that would be perfectly exposed at the 800 rating, given the film's exposure latitude). So if I am in the middle of the sunlit street and I hold my meter perpendicular with the street and it gives a 1/1000 @ f11 reading (based on an 800 ISO rating), I will typically shoot at f8 instead of f11 to account for the fact that the light falling on the white ball of the meter is brighter than many areas in the broader scene (which are under varying degrees of shadow). It also takes into account that the closer you are to your subject the more light you need. So if I am 1 meter away (such as in the shot of the commuters that I posted this morning) I will need to open a good stop compared to if I were shooting the same subject 3 meters away. Hope that was clearer; let me know if not... Best, Adam Edited February 16, 2016 by A miller 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A miller Posted February 16, 2016 Share #11371 Posted February 16, 2016 well, let's see... If I set the meter to 800 and indicated an exposure of 1/1000 at f11 If I changed the ISO to 400 instead of 800 and pushed the button, I would get 1/1000 at f8 So I am essentially exposing at box speed but developing at 800 (N+1) No? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you get similar results if you metered at 200 and developed at 400, I've never developed colour film apart from E6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, "my way" (which obviously by no means is my way) pops the highlights a bit (like "expanding" the film of a full stop) But I do it for the extra stop (which increases the DOF which is helpful for zone focusing). Your way is the typical way you would use portra for controlled settings such as portraits where you don't need the extra speed. You meter on the face at close range and then open up a stop.

In any case, it has great lines and depth. Thanks Adam. I can see where you are coming from. I suppose I still have the visual memory of the searingly bright sunshine on a hot, cloudless early Sept day in southern France and wished to retain that feel of eye-squintingly bright white concrete etc. In light (!) of your feedback I have darkened the mid and darker tones/shadows to give more depth, leaving the lighter tones untouched (except for the grass & gravel in the foreground).
