Kodak Portra 400 35m 36exp Film Professional 5 Pack

Product Information

In most of these images you can see that there is still plenty of detail and color in the highlights, but that colors in the brightest parts of the image are certainly on the soft side which is a desired look that I’m wanting to achieve. If you want to use the film and still retain more saturation, I would recommend not adding the additional two-thirds stop as I do and then also using GND filters to control the sky. You can actually end up with quite a bit of saturation on Portra if exposed this way, but be careful as shadows can get muddy and oddly oversaturated. Now this quite a fun time to use Portra with some really interesting results! Night scenes with lights in them are going to have an incredible amount of contrast so a film like this really shines. It’s important to still make the image look like it was taken at night, so remember that shadows and unlit parts of the frame should still appear properly dark. My first tip for these scenes is that you shouldn’t worry at all about overexposing the light sources, instead concentrate on what part of the image you want to see rendered as a middle tone.

Finer grain?Micro-Structure Optimized T-GRAIN? Emulsions enable PORTRA Films to deliver finer grain than ever before. With a wide range of exposures from bright light to low-light situations, you can create photos that are precisely how you want them. Portra 400 is an iconic 35mm film that captures the honesty of life's moments with beautiful results every time! Features: Kodak Portra 400 is the most popular color film on the market today, so popular that it’s become near synonymous with modern color film photography – and for good reason. It’s a highly versatile, professional-grade film with wide exposure latitude, modern grain structure, and warm pleasing tones. But, it’s no secret that shooting color film, especially professional-grade Kodak color film, like Portra, has become significantly more expensive over the past couple of years.If you have a camera or photography shop near you that keeps a good selection of film, they should really have some Portra 400. The only reason they wouldn’t is that they’ve sold out. It comes in a 5-roll box but any shop worth their salt should let you buy single rolls from open boxes too. Other films might push a certain attribute as their thing, like high contrast monochrome or excelling after dark, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Portra shines though by not turning anything up past around an eight, never mind all the way to eleven. Indoors with a flashNow this set was done with a Canon 580 EX II attached to a Canon 1V and using Zeiss and Sigma lenses. Sigma’s older 85mm f1.4 (non-art) did a great job here when blending the ambient light and the daylight output of the flash being bounced off of a ceiling. While I enjoyed the more vibrant results I got from the likes of Kodak’s Ultramax and Ektar films, the paler Portra photographs are very good too. In the late 1950s, these were replaced with Type S for short exposures and Type L for long exposures, before a newer version called Ektacolor Professional was introduced in the early 1960s. This also came in Types S and L.

For street photography, Kodak Portra 400 is the best 35mm film. At a speed of ISO 400, it is fast enough for most scenarios. Also, the color tones of Portra 400 (Portra = Portrait) is optimized for red, yellow, and orange tones (skin tones as well). 2. Portra 400 x Flash Film Leica, 35mm, Kodak Portra 400, flash. Shot with Kodak Portra 120. Outdoors during daylightKodak Portra likes daylight: so that means always ensuring it’s around. If you’re shooting with it at night or around Tungsten/Incandescent lighting you’re going to get very orange tones to the scenes you photograph. If you’re shooting in cloudy situations, I also highly recommend using a flash unless your lab is very good at fixing colors. Outstanding scanning results with finer grain and an emulsion overcoat specially designed for scanners, Portra Films reproduce beautifully. Superb colour in mixed lightno matter the lighting conditions, even under fluorescent, you can expect beautiful, natural colour. Before you shoot your rolls, Kodak recommend you store them at 21°C (70°F) or below, or 13°C (55°F) if you’re saving them for an extended period of time.For years, professional photographers have preferred KODAK PROFESSIONAL PORTRA Films because of their consistently smooth, natural reproduction of the full range of skin tones. In that same tradition, the new PORTRA 400 Film is the ideal choice for portrait and fashion photography, as well as for nature, travel and outdoor photography, where the action is fast or the lighting can?t be controlled. Fear not, though. If you can’t find any in person, don’t have time to go and look, want to find it at the best price before buying, or indeed want to buy less than 5 rolls, there are plenty of people online who will sell you some instead. Spectacular skin tones Portra Films delivers smooth, natural reproduction of skin tones, plus exceptional colour saturation These image qualities made Portra a favourite among wedding photographers in the days before most of them went digital, and among new film shooters in the more recent resurgence of analogue photography. It is a part of the Kodak Portra range of professional quality, daylight-balanced, colour negative films. Well known for producing natural-looking skin tones, with high detail and fine grain. It is also known for its natural warmth, like most Kodak films. Portra 400, in particular, has undertones of orange and yellow.

Notice how you’re still getting muted tones here but they could be better if there was just more light? I probably should have overexposed it but for this session. I was using a Mamiya RB67 Pro S. Kodak Portra 400 35mm Film Single Roll 36 Exposures probably needs no introduction. It is the most popular film on the market today and a favourite choice for a huge amount of film photographers. All that said though, does it really matter? It’s a point worth mentioning because it’s a real phenomenon and I couldn’t write this review without bringing it up. It’s not something worth preaching about though. You can shoot what you want.Its easier to keep a consistent aesthetic when shooting color film than with digital. Digital JPEG presets, filters, and RAW post-processing is constantly changing and evolving. As someone who shoots film, doesn’t develop it myself, and likes to get good results, that’s more the kind of stuff I care about. Kodak can worry about how they make the film. I’m just very grateful that they do.
