Kodak Portra 400 seems to be the things all the kids love these days so I thought I would see what all the hype was about. Well - I'm not sure. I understand it is supposed to be a more subdued film than some of the stocks I like - but it really came out over-exposed and under-saturated. This is kind of my problem with color film - did I over-expose, was it developed bad, did my scanner not like it? As washed out as these look I actually did darken them a bit and add some contrast in post. I don't know - I have a decent amount of color film left in the fridge but after that I think I'll stick to B&W. I can just control all of the processes so much better and have a much better eye for comparing them. I still dig some of these photos even if it looks like they were shot on expired film.
The Rubber Worker
Northside at Night - which further confuses me - all the low light and indoor images came out the best.
There were all kind of weird artifacts in this image I had to clean up - again - no idea where they came from.
It looks vintage - I give it that.
Have these kids ever tried Ektar?
Indoors - looks way better.
