    subbed and liked!! really loving your "run along" videos. do you tend to meter for the shadows or just center-weight the meter? i find my highlights overly blownout when i meter for the shadows (rating portra 800 at 400), and have tried a few rolls that did not give very nice highlight rolloffs even after post processing, so am looking for some advice if you'd give it :) also, can't seem to get those nice portra pastel pinkish colours. greens are always too green. wondering if it's a scanning issue or my lens (a leica 35mm f2 asph, on a leica m6 classic). finally, what is the "joe greer technique" mentioned at 6:05? thanks in advance!

      Thanks mate! I tend to meter always for the shadows. I do this by metering for the ground or shadow parts in the image. But also like to measure the light from my hand, like you said the “Joe Greer” way haha. I think you have some issues with scanning, because I have overexposed Portra 800 for 6 stops and still didn’t blow out the highlights. How are you scanning your negatives? It’s not your camera and lens setup for sure.

      @@TIPSinc01 thanks so much! I'm not sure how they are scanning but I'll check it out for sure. I was worried it was my camera or light meter but both seem to work fine and you confirmed it!

    This, for me, proves that a good shot has nothing to do with a how expensive your camera is. Thanks for the upload.

    when you shoot it at 400 instead of 800 do you also let them know in development? or do u develop at box?

    Think I need a full on tutorial lol. So if you are sending a roll of 800 that you shot 1/2 at 400 and the other at 800 into a lab, do you ask to push or pull? Or do you just have them develop at 800?

    • @TIPSinc01
      @TIPSinc01  26 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Haha no problem! Just let them develop as normal. So as 800 in this case. This way the shots that you rated at 400 stay overexposed and the shots that you rated at 800 stay normal exposed. 🙏🏼

      @TIPSinc01  26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @ depends if you push or pull the roll. In my case I like to over expose my color film. So that means nothing in development will change.

    Great stuff! Your exposures are always spot-on! Do you adjust the shutter/aperture on every photo or just use a different combo for sunny shots / shade shots and roll with it? Keep up the vids!

    • @TIPSinc01
      @TIPSinc01  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks man! Appreciate the comment! Uhm.. if I have the time to adjust I will. But when shooting fast, more street work, I stick to a couple of combos with an occasional metering for skin tones. ✌🏼
