kodak portra 400vc – heath ofee dot com https://heathofee.com Tue, 28 Feb 2012 03:28:00 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.1.6 Late Summer Fun https://heathofee.com/2011/09/02/late-summer-fun/ https://heathofee.com/2011/09/02/late-summer-fun/#comments Fri, 02 Sep 2011 13:10:45 +0000 http://heathofee.com/?p=3228 A couple of weekends ago my wife and I took a made a trip to her family cabin in BC with my parents, sister, bro-in-law and two little nephews. We had some pretty great weather and had plenty of fun relaxing out on the deck and in the big back yard. I decided to shoot exclusively on film for the weekend, so I filled my camera with some Kodak Portra 400VC and did what I could with it.

To say I was excited to get the film developed would be an understatement. I had done a fair bit of reading up on the film I had chosen, and all reviews and sample photos I saw were fantastic – great colours, fine grain, nice contrast. Unfortunately, when I got the roll developed and scanned the negatives at home, it appeared that all of my shots came out underexposed by between one and two stops. I wasn’t impressed. I’m not exactly sure where the process broke down – poor processing by the lab, crummy scanning at home, (dare I say it) poor exposure control in camera? Regardless, I used the wonders of Lightroom to bring the images back to where they should have been without losing too much detail. I guess a bit more experimentation is in order.

Have a great weekend!

Equipment:
– Canon Elan 7
– Canon 50mm f/1.4
– Kodak Portra-400VC
