Ektar :architecture and Portra : portrait. Job done I have a mnemonic for the rest of my life! Thanks for the video. Nice pics!
Definitely better the Ektar!
Portra is more for portrait than for landscapes or urban photography
+chiara - A lot of people agree!
Pro tip: watch series on flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies recently.
@Casey Ayaan Yea, have been watching on Flixzone} for since december myself =)
Nice shoots, I like them both. Portra looks more creamy yellowish while the Ektar has more punch and reds.
Ditto, a fan of both. They have their strengths and weaknesses for sure but I agree with your observation of the color palettes. Certainly each has their use.
Love the little more fadded tones of Portra... I don't shoot that much color but I loved my experiences with the Portra line of films.
It's look is undeniably classic. A favorite of mine for sure, though there are cheaper alternatives, Kodak still has it in the back with Portra. There's no full stop replacement for it.
@@ActiveCapture Can you please name those alternatives to Portra?
Great video guys!! Man it makes really happy to see a younger generation pushing the use of film! Both these films are favorites of mine..I have to admit.. I'd kinda like the more neutral look of the Portra 160 ! Great job look forward to more videos!
Courts Griner Thanks so much for your kind comments and taking the time to watch! There are lots of videos out to enjoy and many many more coming in the future. We don't plan on stopping ANY time soon!
Its a great time for film at the moment. So many people getting back into it.
Beautiful. I love the subtle warmth, especially from the Portra. Bravo
Gabe Sanchez Thanks so much! That means so much to me! Thank you for watching!!! 😎
Haha no problem, keep it up!
Gabe Sanchez Aye aye! Were filming Instax vs Polaroid tonight at the local arcade so keep an eye out for it!
I enjoyed this one. Both are beautiful films in their own way. Also like to see you guys shooting the minolta SLR's :) My x-700 that I inherited from my father was the camera that got me into film.
Keep up the good work! (subbed)
Thanks Miles I'm super happy to hear you've joined us as a subscriber. I'm so glad I started with a Minolta. The X-570 will always hold a special place in my heart and I'm pretty sure it will forever always be a little "better" than any other camera I use. No matter what I pick up I'm always going to compare it to my X-570.
Thanks for commenting, looking forward to more of your feedback. See ya around!
Two marvellous stocks that are in the top of a number 5 favourit lists alongside Vision 3 . Love this video, thanks a lot. Regards from Brazil.
The Ektar looks better in these shots, but when i shoot Portra it usually looks better maybe its the scanning.
tallaganda83 Perhaps! I tried to be as thorough as I could and I've been getting MUCH better at scanning but it's always a possibility! Miranda also likes the Ektar shots better.
...and I was looking for a comment like this before I write the same thing. Awesome shots, Ektar is magnificent but something is off with the scans (?) or post processing of Portra. Looks a bit dull. Yes, Portra is more "creamy" and "pastel", but this roll looks a bit off. Nevertheless, great video :)
Thank you, don't worry this is FAR from the last time we will shoot with the Portra! Hopefully I'll do a lot better scanning them next time. I've learned a lot about the scanning process since shooting this episode. We'll see what the future holds!
I wasn't actually insulting the Portra more complementing the Ektar, i am yet to shoot a roll I'm happy with, i wish i could get it right as I'm more into landscapes, i use Velvia 50 for landscapes and its mind blowing in the right conditions, but has terrible dynamic range is useless for people.
We haven't shot color slide film yet but it's on our list!
Very good video...hope all is well after viewing this 3 years later...
We're alive. Feels so long ago now. It was a different time.
I love both films but in mid-day light I prefer portra films. I think their lower contrast handles that sort of light better. The results in the video seems to show that. I use Ektar quite a bit in large format and for morning and evenings it reigns supreme for me. Love the video and enjoyed seeing the side by side comparison.
Ben Bateson Glad you liked it, totally see about how the Ektar would be STELLAR in mornings and evenings. Thanks for watching! :D
This is awesome. I'm going to Hawaii in a week and I'm debating between Ektar and portra. After watching this video I am going to stick with the Ektar because I love the colors and high contrast. Looking forward to watching future videos from you
itsLiangry Thanks so much! I'd definitely bring a ton of Ektar to Hawaii! We just published a video on Pro 400H, a roll or two of that might be great too. Thanks for watching! :D
Good job! Great to find a video comparing these two readily available modern emulsions. Thanks
+colliedogjoy No prob! Thanks for watching!
Lovely format, great editing, gorgeous choice of music and cracking subject matter. Subbed 👍🏻
+Sean Sankey Thanks for your gracious compliments! Means a lot to us!
I've never been into Ektar's color palette, but Portra never disappoints!
Ektar is DEFINITELY not for everyone but I think you need to shoot a roll to really discover whether or not your like it, ya know? I don't love it either but Miranda was in love with the shots she took when we got them back from the lab. :P She always surprises me with her tastes.
They are two color films that I have always loved. I have the Ektar loaded in the Pentax Me Super and the Portra loaded in the Pentax P30n. Depending on the subject I choose which body to use. The result is always magnificent even if the two films have changed a bit over the years.
Thanks for doing these side by side comparisons. I'll admit that I have a soft spot for Ektar and this video simply has reinforced that even further. L&S
+Vincent Cheng Ektar really is something else! Thanks for checking us out!
Good video. Your shots mirror my experience with Ektar & Portra. I prefer the look of Ektar for daytime outdoor shots. I have a hard time getting the look I want when shooting outdoors with Portra on landscapes. On the other hand for people shots Portra looks great.
While I was happy with the shots I got with Portra they certainly didn't come out the way I was expecting them too. Definitely takes practice. I foresee needing to shoot through a number of rolls of the stuff before really being able to take advantage of shooting it.
Fills my photographic heart with joy to see young people shooting film, lovely pastel quality to the porta and the Ektar as more kick, I would like to shoot that sea scape with B&W on 10X8 on a very early morning with the sea fog rolling in.....Nice review and watch out for the great whites.:):)
:D Harry thanks so much for your wonderful comments and thanks for watching, these two films are certainly world renowned for a reason! Morning with the fog rolling in would be wonderful with a black and white. Though it gets incredibly foggy there in the morning I've never actually been to the baths while it's rolling in. I'll have to add that to my bucket list!
As a Minolta fanboy, I’m delighted to see people using them instead of usual Canikons
I really like their unique lens coatings and color rendition. And Ektar is my go to film for street photography and landscape.
Subbed.
Right on! More videos coming soon! Thank you for watching! MINOLTA FOR LIFE
Active Capture Cool, can't wait to see it 🙌🏻
Great video! I love the side by side comparisons, really helped to show the difference. Interestingly, for me there was no clear winner. Sometimes I liked the softer pastel tones of the Portra, and sometimes I like the blue shadows of the Ektar. Although, I still find Portra easier to shoot because of the exposure latitude, but that's just me being lazy.
Same! Incredibly, painfully lazy. Still. Maybe in the future I'll get a little un-lazy and let Miranda shoot the Portra and I'll shoot some of the Ektar. It's really a gorgeous film if the camera is pointed at the right subject. We'll revisit these films again in the future! Thank you SO MUCH for watching Brian!
Thanks. Great video concept - very helpful. Looks to me like Portra wins for portraits (duh) where dark shadows might be unflattering, but Ektar wins for architecture or other shots that need more depth and clarity. To me the Portra shots look a little flat and over-exposed by a stop or two. Not saying that's always a bad thing - just another tool in the camera bag. Or maybe a light meter issue?
Not to mention novice editing. I definitely over did these. We've been looking forward to revisiting this episode for a long time with the new skills we've gained from our experiences. Hoping to provide a better comparison in the near future. Thanks so much for the kind words, and keep an eye on the channel! :D
For me, Ektar wins with better/stronger contrast and it resists being too yellow far better than Portra.
There is too much hate out there for Ektar and, IMHO, too much love for Portra. I have been very disappointed in Portra for shots in the shade and it may be because I exposed at box speed (maybe overexposing would have done it justice). I think it was the first couple shots you took on this video with Portra, same result as my disappointments. I hate the magenta/redish tint. I think Portra should be shot in full sunshine to look proper. Ektar, however, can be shot with shadows and sunshine mixed in the same scene because of its wide dynamic range. Just don't shoot people with it. I really enjoyed how the Ektar results looked from Miranda. Thanks for the vid!
No problem! Glad you found some truth in it! We try not to "review" the films when we're done for this very reason. People should come to their own conclusions, we're just here to share the fun of shooting film and examples of what each stock /could/ look like. I love Portra, but the Ektar is DEFINITELY extremely underrated!
this video was painfully awkward, but it got the point across and served its purpose. Thanks for the help on picking between the two!
Still learning and growing but try to improve every episode. Thanks for the feedback. :)
Ektar looks great to my eyes and taste. Love the biased blues and reds.
Totally! The blueeeeees. I'm a blue guy. Love those blues.
Good comparison of 2 very good films. The Ektar gave colours that popped, whilst the Portra is a little bit more mellow. Nice sharp and good exposures withe some good composition. At $8 or $9 a roll, these films are not cheap. Personally myself, I would shot these if I went somewhere nice, just like you guys did, but for general shooting around my neighbourhood, I'm sticking to the cheaper films like Fuji Superia or Kodak Gold. Nice video and photographs as usual, keep up the good work.
Thanks! Yeah the films are on the pricey side, but at least they get 36 exposures! I agree though, going with something cheaper for general shooting is probably your best option.
Thanks again for all the great feedback and we hope you keep watching our videos!
Another brilliant video. Now I know there is no logic to this, but I really like Ektar at 35mm with modern lenses and I shoot Portra 160 at 120. I always find it slightly poignant that some of the places that are most photogenic, for texture, colours and social comment, also show the failings of society, and I think that is that is a world wide phenomenon.
Totally agree. It really was beautiful and full of opportunities!
You had me at Minolta X-570! Sweet Jesus!
You liked it then?! :D Thanks for watching!
Yes! Good work on comparing both films! Subscribed and following on IG & Twitter! Always great to see new channels pop up promoting film! Keep up the good work! Next time I am in SF, i need to visit the Sutro Baths!
Will do, and yes, you must! Though it FEELS like there are a lot of tourists there it's hardly a "top spots to visit" kind of place (not that that's an issue, it's nice to go and have it be /relatively/ quiet...) Highly underrated in my opinion and BEGGING to be shot with some film.
I think you just made it harder to decide between the two! :D
Ahhh!
absolutely love this! Just stumbled upon this but you've def got a new fan!!!
Whoo hoo! We love new fans! Thanks for sticking around, there's lots of great stuff coming up just around the corner so you picked a great time to subscribe!
Nice comparison of the two stocks. Thanks.
+Lenny DeFinis thanks for watching Lenny!
great video. gonna try them both. nice to see good comparisons. thank you!
dave hyper Glad we could help. It's definitely worth it to shoot both films. Obviously they're both incredible at what they do! If you haven't, don't forget to subscribe for more in the near future! ;) Thanks for watching!
So, did you come to a conclusion as to which stock you prefer?
I personally adore Portra 400, to the point where it's pretty much the only thing I'll load in my rangefinder - combined with the Sonnar it gives the perfect old-world feel.
Horst G. Burkhardt Honestly I think we were a bit biased in deciding. I really liked the Portra much better but Miranda was a fan of the Ektar. Each liking our own film made it difficult to come to a firm conclusion. I think we're going to have Chris and Rheannon do a critical capture without us and let them come to a decision on that since they weren't involved in the shooting. (Portra is better, don't tell Miranda I said that though lol!)
Potra 160 is so bomb. One of my faves
+Bliss Culture Super pretty! We love it!
Just found your channel. Subbed. You got some great shots. Next time I'm in San Francisco, I think I'll visit there, for sure. Cheers and keep up the good work!
The Vinyl Album thanks yeah you should definitely visit there! Though it gets a lot of visitors annually I think it's one of the more underrated spots in the city.
Cool, cool. I'll check it out. Follow up question... what do you like about the Minolta cameras over other brands or systems? I have a X-700 that I love because it's so portable and easy to use. However, I still the "tank-y-ness" of the Olympus OM cameras - and the Zuiko lenses. Thoughts?
If I'm being honest with you it's just a use bias. The 570 was my first camera. The meter has always been spot on. Every roll I've put through it has come out spectacularly. I simply haven't had a reason to move on to anything else. It's probably pretty easy to tell, and I say this a lot in the comments, but we're all very new to film, we aren't experts by any means.
THAT SAID, we do have a camera exchange program we just set up with one of our new viewers. He'll be sending us a new camera to try out every week or so. So keep an eye out for that, you'll be seeing much more variety on Active Capture in the near future.
Very cool. Makes sense. I have an Olympus OM2n, Olympus OM1, Olympus OM10, and Olympus AF-1 point and shoot that I'd be willing to send you all to try out if your ever interested. I have about 5 OM lenses, as well. Just let me know. Been enjoying watching your vids all day, so it's the least I can do. Take care and keep up the great work!
Thanks for the offer! We'll definitely take you up on that. Go ahead and like the Facebook page and send me a message over there to work out the details, thanks for watching, talk soon!
Ektar really pops with its colors. Portra is nice too. I've heard it's the preferred of the two for portrait photography.
Totally! :) Thanks for watching!
Thanks for making this video, as well as reminding me about these film stocks! How could one forget, right? I've been messing with a lot of B&W films lately, but... you know, this video's got me thinking about grabbing some Portra again. Good stuff, man!
great video! it was interesting how on some shots they didn't look very different, and others they were vastly different. I really like both, porta definitely has a look to it that is classic. looks like the x570 is up to the task of exposing ektar spot on as well.
Josh Sporre Yeah Josh the X-570's metering system has really proven to be incredibly flexible and accurate across a great range of film stocks which is awesome for us because we've gotten to share some great videos AND photos with you all as well. The camera has just proven itself as generally reliable in just about every situation we've thrown at it so far and I'm really glad I chose Minolta as the brand we started with on AC. Thanks for watching, as usual Josh! Can't wait to share more with you.
love these kind of vids, keep it up!
Aye, will do!
Just subscribed! Great video keep up the good work!
So glad you liked it! Comments like yours keep us going! Thank you for sharing your comment!
Really cool video! I really like what you're doing! Just subscribed 😊
Hey that's awesome, thank you so much for watching AC! :D
Wonderful video on differentiating between the two!
Thank you so much for watching! We love having you here!
Good content but I have to say I had a hard time watching because of camera movement. Like a high-frequency jerkiness in the video. Motion sickness inducing . . . . maybe it's just me . . . I couldn't finish watching. What equipment are you using to video?
Dean, I'm so sorry to hear that. Every episode we try new techniques to make filming on the go for Active Capture the highest quality possible for you guys. Smoothness and frame rate are two of our constant battles we always seem to be fighting. We record every episode of Active Capture on a Nikon D750 with a hand held Neewer rig. There are better alternatives out there but they're not really within the shows budget at the time. We hope to upgrade in the future. All of our episodes are shot at 60fps and rendered out at 24fps in an attempt to smooth some of the jerky motion you've noted. While we do our best to provide a consistent viewing experience it can be difficult to achieve still motion when "running and gunning" so to speak. AC is very fast paced and mobile during filming so it's not well suited for tripods. Someday I hope to invest in a nice gimbal or mounted stabilization system.
I'm sorry you had a bad experience watching our video :( I hope you give us another chance in the future. The quality of our productions will only get better as time goes on. Thanks for your kind comments and support.
-Alex @ Active Capture
Amazing work, guys! You just got a new subscriber. BTW, is there any link to watch your photos besides youtube? I'm really interested in your photo style. Greetings from a peruvian photographer.
Oscar Roncal yes! Check the description for links to all of our social media! Instagram is usually up to date and for high res versions on 500px.com there's a link to that in the channel description so check there too!
I've used both, and I like ektar much better for both portraits and landscapes, but these rocks and ruins look so much better on portra. Its pastel, less contrasty and saturated look adds some atmosphere and mystery to this place ,whereas ektar is too in your face because the contrast and saturation bring up too much details, and the place is not as atmospheric. The wall at 5:56 though looks better on ektar because of the same reasons other stuff looks worse - the texture of the wall and those crevices look better because of the contrast and saturation
Thanks for watching :)
Shooting mainly portraits, I tried Ektar only once and found it really too punchy for my liking. The model was wearing a yellow woolen sweater and it was so intense and saturated it took away the attention from the face. Portra 160 is my to-go film for color, if enough light is available.
I preferred the Portra from this shoot but Miranda LOVED her Ektar shots.
portra has this dreamy feel!
+Patrick James Juplo My personal favorite from this shoot!
Nice Video & Nice photographs :) I liked the results of both the films :)
Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!
Hi there!I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for doing this
Stefanita Sandu No problem! Thanks so much for watching! If you haven't check out some of our other work as well!
Ektar is the shit. Images are almost 3-dimensional the contrast is so good.
They do look really good! Thank you!
Great video and wonderful shots. I might have missed it in the video, but were you shooting the films at box ASA or were you both shooting at ASA 100?
Tim Heshka Great question! We didn't mention this in the video, good catch. We shot both films at ASA 100 because we thought it would offer the closest comparison. you could argue that the Portra was over exposed but I don't think 60 speed is enough to botch the comparison! ^^ I'm glad you enjoyed the episode! Thanks!
Active Capture Portra 160 looks perfect over exposed, just like most C41.. Except Ektar of course ☺️.
Nice video.
Yeah I think the 60 ASA over exposure looked great, since the film was shot at 100. Just has that "look". Really great film to shoot with. It sucks that I can't just shoot it all the time, but I have a channel to run! ^^ Thanks for your comment!
Active Capture If you get the opportunity, have a go at shooting Eastman [Kodak] Double X B&W movie film, 250 ASA Boxspeed but easily pushed to 6400 or pulled back to 50 ASA or even lower to increase/decrease contrast & apparent grain.. Superb quality and relatively cheap when buying a length of film and a bulk loader.
Spehmaster G. I've made a note of it! sounds fun! Bulk loading is still a little intimidating to me but the best time might totally be the present. Either way I'll shoot this film for sure. It sounds so versatile.
Beautiful landscape!
Raincoat Thank you! And thanks for watching!
loved this one especially the sea scape!! i agree, super cool picture! ;D keep up the great work!! im sure youll get tons of views and subscribes, this is quality stuff!! my fave vid!-star
Spirit of Iruka Anime Studio thanks! I really appreciate you watching. I can't wait to edit together more for you to see!
Thank you, very nice ans simple and usefull
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Awesome video. Fun to watch.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this review.
Thanks for watching! It's great having you here!
Awesome! I like your style. Can you do a review on the cameras too
Thank you! We definitely want to do some camera reviews at some point in the future. We'll need more cameras coming in and going out of AC in order to do that but I definitely see it in our future.
Thanks for this nicely done, informative video.
You got it! Thanks for watching! :D
Awesome video! Just subbed.
Thanks so much! We won't disappoint, keep an eye on the channel!
loved the video! subbed!
AMCBENJAMIN Great! Thanks so much for watching! New vids every week!
Next time use a polarizer. For most of the pics you were shooting in this vid - i feel both films would benefit from the filter.
Teng Vang Great tip, thanks! I've been hoping to pick up a few 58mm polarizers for our Minolta lenses. I guess I should get on that!!! 😊😊
Active Capture perhaps Portra may benefit on some shots with a linear polariser. Ektar however, Is saturated enough I think.
Saying that, I usually find a polarising filter add an unrealistic look to a photo.. I'm not really a fan. Rather than a polarising filter, although they can sometimes work well, I much prefer using ND filters more, either for landscapes on a tripod or when I'm pushing ektar 2 stops in bright sun.. It tones down the saturation, and adds a touch of grain.. It's hard to describe. I think It looks kinda like kodachrome.. I like it.
Occasionally we use a basic UV filter but I try not to filter too much for Active Capture episodes because I want the episodes to represent the film qualities out of the box, but I totally agree. ND filters are excellent as well. That said, I did kind of personally enjoy the desaturated look of the Porta pictured here. I couldn't tell you why ^^ Ohhhhh kodachrome. I hope some day I might be graced with the opportunity to shoot it. Only time will tell!
Active Capture It's nice to hear Kodak Ektachrome is coming back.. In name at least, we shall see.
However, I don't think we'll see the like of Kodachrome again. The process was so particular and involved, and It is required a highly trained technician to complete. Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to use Kodachrome, it was already discontinued when I took up photography..
Same here, oh well! :P
Yeah I never got to shoot ektachrome either! Obviously the four of us are new to film photography (the AC channel is kind of about that journey) so anything before maybe six months ago I have missed. Can't wait to get a roll of that day one.
a majority of the video is footage of two people taking photos. there's no detailed comparison of the film or in-depth analysis of the resulting images - just the occasional side-by-side shot.
There are a ton of professional photographers doing comparisons on youtube, might want to check one of those out!
great frames, good show case of the two
Thanks, that means a lot! We appreciate you visiting our channel!
next video when
@@homesickphotographycomau4107 Well as you see we just released the new Kodak Gold episode. Our episode with all the photos we took when we drove across the country will be out soon which features some ektachome, instax, and hp5. Then after that we have a Superia X-tra slated for release and we also just shot our Ektachrome vs Velvia episode.
It's all at the lab right now, should be back soon and then we'll get started on our editing schedule. Hope that helps!
I shoot both digital and film. Still prefer the latter...
+Project Hydra Many do!
Thanks for the video, good stuff :)
Jéhan de Lange No problem! Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Ektar for my taste! Btw both are nice👍🏻
Right on, thanks for watching!
Minolta represent
+Blue Oval Forever The best!!!!
what camera are you guys using in this video
Minolta X-570 and Minolta X-700, links to both in the description.
You guys use video tags right? I can't understand how you only have 60 subs
Game or Nothing Tag like crazy! These things take a long time. I have a feeling TH-cam's search results are pretty biased against channels with low sub counts which doesn't make a ton of sense, how are small channels supposed to grow?
At any rate, we put in a lot of work on social media which has really gotten us as far as we've come. I think word of mouth is obviously powerful so if you enjoy the channel please share it with your friends and family, ask them to sub, etc. It makes a huge difference.
Thanks for your kind words. We appreciate the support!
Ektar is the name of the game ✌🏼
woot woot!
why a beat starts in the moment they start to talk is bejond me.
other than that: Portra ftw!
This was one of our first videos, bad timing, not great editing. We'll redo this episode sometime in the future with some of the polish that has come with our added experience! :) Thanks for watching!
I'll buy both + portra 400
Nice!
Not the best time of day for photography. The sun appears to be directly overhead much of the time. Longer shadows and softer light of morning or late afternoon would have been better.
With a 5 year old at home the best time to shoot is when you're able! :P But yes, of course you're correct.
Plus it is a good test of the exposure latitude of colour negative film
Sono due pellicole a colori che amo da sempre.
Ho la Ektar caricata nella Pentax Me Super e la Portra caricata nella Pentax P30n. A seconda del soggetto scelgo quale corpo usare. Il risultato è sempre magnifico anche se le due pellicole sono un po' cambiate negli anni.
Better not to expose film in direct light, such as skylight
Видео обо всём I know, I know, you think we'd remember something basic like that. Still, I think they came out ok. You're totally right though I would never recommend someone do that! Thanks for commenting! :)
Active Capture You are right, some rules can be avoided. But this does not apply for beginners who watch the video. Liked your demonstration very much.
Видео обо всём I'm glad to hear that, thank you so much!
Wearing all black to the shore👌 my kinda people ✌📷
#beachlife
3:49 money shot
Steven Lawrence Thanks I really like that one too! Almost didn't stop to take it!
Nice video but the Portra looks way too flat, I've seen photos with nicer colours and slightly more contrast taken from that film
Hopefully we'll do better next time! Always trying to improve!
I really enjoy shooting Ektar.. I think it adds something to even the most mundane of photographs.. These photos from my first test roll are shot using a Pentax Spotmatic and a Mayer-Optik Görlitz Lydith 30mm f/3.5 (Original 1960's copy) and the photo of the tulips were shot using a Soviet Jupiter 37A 135mm f/3.5: www.flickr.com/photos/133238604@N05/shares/0JS8Sn
I miss your videos 😀 Be well 🖖
+Spehmaster G. We're coming back this month for more! Hope to see you around!
love it
Thank you!
I wish my wife would go out shooting with me. Nice to see you guys share the same passion.
Chris, Rheannon, and Miranda had ZERO interest in doing film photography OR a TH-cam channel for that matter. Just had to go for repeated exposure to cameras, and after their first few rolls they were hooked! :P
wind goes woosh
muffemod true story
If you load your film in the light like that you always burn it that’s why the first shot is so bad
>< #noobfails
We work daily for our magazine with Ektar and Portra and have written an article when we use which film. mare.photo/en/https-mare-photo-kodak-portra160-kodak-ektar-en/
Cool!
Ektachrome rules
We shot some recently on our drive across the country and have an episode featuring it coming out in the next couple weeks!
Awesome! Thanks. For me, Portra 400 gives the best of both worlds. Whatever video camera you shot this on seems to beat both of those films. We're in a digital world now
Bob Sykes the D750! thanks for watching!
You clearly didn't see the whitewashed highlights at half a minute. The dynamic range of film is far superior, you can't even see the potential of film if you just look at screens. That's not even mentioning the fact it's a lot more satisfying to shoot with and more easier on the eye if you're into more natural looking things
+yashicat5 Obviously both have their benefits but Yeah that background at half a minute was some rough shooting and a still film frame of the same shot would have looked much nicer I think, especially when considering dynamic range.
cool
Thank you! :D
很有参考意义!
Thanks! I'm glad it helped you!
also thank you far the relpy!
No problem! I try to respond to all comments, I don't think I've missed one yet!
Portra is for portraits LOL
Portra is made for photographing people not those kind of scenes! Hence the name is PORTA. You're so failed lol
Thanks for your comment! :D
No problem!
