    Another vid another banger! Keep up the great work! I am more than happy to have found your channel as I am first starting out with analog :D Would love to hear your opinion on what film stocks to get if Porta and Cinestil is to expensive to shoot regularly as a student (environmental portraits & travel)👀

    • @SkylerWagoner
      @SkylerWagoner  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks so much for watching!! I appreciate that. As far as what films to by that are cheaper I love Kodak gold 200 and Ultramax 400 is a cool one for good colors! Ektar 100 is also a favorite

    The sample photos go crazy! I'm so curious about your scanning method. They look like darkroom prints.

      Thank you!! I drop them off at a lab then once I get the scans back I put my touch on them. 🙌 no darkroom but would love to experiment in one some day

    BRAVO! Okay so…….. When shooting indoor with Portra 400 should you suggest using lighting ? Or do you find that it’s good without it?

    • @SkylerWagoner
      @SkylerWagoner  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I think Portra 400 has the capability to shoot indoor well because that 400 speed iso is gonna help you with more low light situations compared to like Portra 160 but if you have enough light indoor there shouldn’t be any issues! I look at Portra like a great all around film stock for any situation really.

    • @GrungeVogue
      @GrungeVogue หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @ Thank you! I feel sometimes it comes out to contrasty even outdoors…. So I’ve tried getting the more airy look by using Portra 800 but still not totally satisfied….. idk…. Trial and Error … I’m going to keep going till I get it right….

    • @SkylerWagoner
      @SkylerWagoner  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Definitely! Maybe try shooting Portra 400 at 800 ISO to get more of that less contrasted look or just work on overexposing 400 with your shutter & aperture

    Good morning and happy new year, when you shoot with the Canon EOS 630 in aperture priority, do you usually use exposure compensation or do you let the camera meter normally to finish the photo? Thanks

    • @SkylerWagoner
      @SkylerWagoner  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Happy New Year! I've been shooting with Canon for 12 years and their light meters have always been on point so I just use the settings its reading for most of my film photography on this camera!

  • @bringo4392
    @bringo4392 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Most of yall shoot portra 400 because yall wanna look alike. Thats the reason why most of yalls pics come out looking the same tone wise and its cuz most people just settle because the general consensus is that portra is the best looking film. Its not even the best looking kodak film.. portra 400 is the safe option. Most people can't shoot other films and handle em correctly cuz all alotta yall know is portra 400. Truth is alotta beginner photographers jump to portra when they first start shooting film because youtubers made it popular to do so. There are many great options besides portra 400 and especially within kodaks lineup. And let me correct myself, I don't wanna say that most people "Can't" shoot other film stocks, I just think most people get stuck on portra because its the popular option.

  • @garethjones5068
    @garethjones5068 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The latitude in Portra 400 is what makes it stand out for me & why it’s probably the stock I’d choose everytime for shooting professional work
    For my own personal work though I love the warmth of Kodak Gold 200 & it’s not that far behind Portra in its latitude either

    • @SkylerWagoner

    The reason everybody shoots Portra 400 is simply because its basically the only professional grade 400 speed color film left.
