What speed should I shoot Portra 800?
What speed should I shoot Portra 800?
With Portra 800, we rate our camera to ISO 100 or 200 (effectively giving the film between 2-3 stops of over exposure) and develop as normal. If you’re struggling for light, it will do the job at 800, but in most respects Portra 400 will do it much better, especially pushed to 800.
What ISO should I shoot Cinestill 800T?
We recommend shooting 800T in Fluorescent light, meter as if your film is ISO 200 or 250 with a shutter speed of 1/45 or below. If the light seems especially “cool” balanced, use an 85 filter.
Can you use 800 film during the day?
The tungsten balance makes for some extremely interesting results, and it’s true that photographers can make pictures with 800T that we can’t make with any other stock. The rule with Cinestill 800T is, in most people’s eyes, that it’s a film not meant for daylight photography.
Does ISO matter film developing?
If you’re shooting film that has a higher ISO rating in the first place, that just means that the emulsion is formulated to be more sensitive and therefore requires less light for a proper exposure.
Is Portra 800 grainy?
I tried Kodak Portra 800 pretty early on, and, to be honest, I hated the results. The images came out muddy and grainy. It’s a film that has a bit of a learning curve. After some fine tuning and learning to rate it between 200 and 400 ISO, I now love the results!
Is 1000 ISO too high?
If you’re photographing a moving car, 1/1000s might be more appropriate. And if you’re photographing a diving falcon, 1/3200s is a safe bet. Unfortunately, even in relatively good light, boosting your shutter speed to 1/3200s will result in a too-dark exposure – unless you raise the ISO, that is.
Can I push process 400 speed film to EI 800?
If you push a 400 speed film to EI 800, you should develop the film based on the development time for ISO 800 film. This will give you a solid starting point as you learn to push or pull process film.
What happens if you shoot 400 ISO film as 800 ISO?
If you shoot 400 ISO film as 800, that is a 1 stop underexposure which will require a 1 stop push in development by processing it as an 800 ISO film. If you shoot a roll 1 stop under-exposed and don’t push in development, your photos will be under-exposed.
What is Portra 800 film used for?
Portra 800 is very well-suited to photographing moving subjects and working in low-light conditions while maintaining true color reproduction. Kodak’s Professional Portra 800 is a high-speed daylight-balanced color negative film optimized for use in difficult lighting conditions.
Should I over- or under-develop my film?
When pushing or pulling film at different EI speeds, you must over- or under-develop the film to compensate for over or underexposing the film. Generally, pushing the film to another ISO makes the development process much easier. If you push a 400 speed film to EI 800, you should develop the film based on the development time for ISO 800 film.
