Kodak Portra 400 35m 36exp Film Professional 5 Pack

Product Information

Nine times out of ten, I always overexpose Kodak Portra 400 by metering it at 200 and meter for the shadows or midtones. This, as most of you know, will give you a beautiful and colorful images. If you’re uncertain of how your subject should be exposed the sky can be a good reference point in this sort of light. On Portra I feel that the sky, whether partly cloudy or clear blue, looks best when exposed with that extra ⅔ stop of compensation. This reduces some of the saturation in the sky, which often leans towards an unattractive cyan on Portra. If your entire scene is in daylight, chances are that metering the sky and adding this extra exposure will result in a good exposure for your image on Portra, no matter what the subject is. It’s everyone’s favorite go-to for a reason. It’s easy to handle just about any scene. Dynamic Range Visit us and you'll always find a friendly welcome. Our policy is to treat our customers as we would like to be treated ourselves, a simple ideal that we try hard to live up to. Aside from just metering Portra 160 at 100, I also err on the side of overexposure. I pay more attention to the average reading in the foreground rather than the entire scene including the sky and I often have exposure compensation on my metering camera set to +0.7 for an extra two-thirds stop. This means that the film is almost always being overexposed by more than a full stop, and skies might be overexposed by a stop or two (or sometimes several) more than that.

If I wanted to give one of my point ‘n’ shoot cameras to a friend who doesn’t shoot film to try and see how they liked it, Portra would also be a likely choice. I think it’d give them results that’d make them want to shoot more film. Want to see some of the different ways you can use Kodak Portra 400?

Here’s what the film looks like as the sun is starting to sort of set in Brooklyn, NY, and the clouds are rolling in. The colors are still nice and muted. But see how the sun gives a really nice rim light to Rory’s hair? Hi Simon, nicely done! I’m really loving the first and second images. I’m guessing the higher contrast is from the push processing. Love the look!

FAQS

It’s by far the most searched for film on Google, according to my rudimentary research, and also the number one figure of fun on r/AnalogCircleJerk, which is a less scientific measure but also a good sign. Portra must be popular if it’s become a cliché. It works because nothing in the image is overdone, yet nothing is bland either. I assume, since I never shot them, that it’s like they took the differing attributes of the NC and VC versions and somehow got them to work together. Camera films with a high exposure tend to produce images with more grains as it captures crisp and sharp details in every lighting condition. That’s why Kodak has introduced the micro-structure T-GRAIN emulsion that prevents grainy texture, especially making the film roll suitable for enlargement and scanning purposes. The Kodak professional film also features a cinematic VISION film technology that provides a fine grain structure with edge detailing and sharpness.
