Thanks. I am going to have the editor make a change to the text.Great intro article on ND filters. Both are excellent films.If you use an AE camera like Aukje then you also make sure that when the camera gets fooled by bright backlight then you’ll still be safe at 100 as you have two-stops of light to make up for the mis-read metering by the camera.Lovely photos, I do really like the EktarIt’s pointless to meter Portra 400 or almost any other neg film at anything other than box speed UNLESS you are pushing or pulling it in development. The filter ratings for round and rectangular filters are identical.Sorry for the delay in replying. And somehow when an object like a boat is in the photo the pop of colour brings a fun element, while I prefer the softer tones for the landscapes. I would suggest Kodak Portra 400 or overexpose your Fuji Pro 400H to get a nice creamy portrait. Combine this with a 6-stop for a 9-stop combo when needed.Does anyone have an idea of exposure times when using ND filters?Nice, james!
Excellent.
Add your polarizer to make it an 8-stop ND stack.If I follow your question, yes, there is a disadvantage by using ND-Circular Polarizers. Getting ready to 'slow down' my photography with ND filters.The more “classic” use of the ND filter regards its effect on shutter speed. Keep up the fantastic job, it really is an inspiration!Keep it up and definitely keep printing ! I’m looking forward to a trip to Paris in Feb 2017, and I’ve be racking my brain about which film stock to bring along – and it’s definitely between these two. But it has also to do with being insecure about exposure, and since Portra as most film has more latitude for over-exposure rating film at lower speed is safe. With film, one doesn't know what they got until they get the film back. And yes, I am enjoying the journey myself, I love to learn.Thanks so much, David! The cheat-sheet tables are especially good.
Add an ND filter and see what happens:Does an ND2 filter and 1st stop of ND16 means the same?Some wedding and portrait photographers prefer the 3-stop ND filter to give them a wide-open aperture option while shooting in sunlight. I also have an F100 and I’d love to get more specifics on how you use the spot meter to get your exposure. So while the celebration of film is wonderful, I take these “I’m just trying it out comparisons” with a mountain of salt.Instead of printing I often prefer making a book just for myself… there are lots of options out there.Portra 400 / Summicron 35mm ASPHMost people just meter for the the shadows with Portra safe in the knowledge that the highlights will never blow out. My first try with Ektar was over the summer on a trip to the beach:The absolute best results with Ektar typically come from setting the ISO/ASA at 100 (box speed) and developing normally.At first I was a bit hesitant.
What I've read here and other places is that by opening the f-stop too wide it will generate that miserable black X and closing the f-stop to f4 or F5.6 will eliminate the problem. Hd. These are likely the top 3 densities used. But I couldn't stich the three photos together seamlessly even though they were done in fast succession. But the FD book can be used for EF lenses since an FD 28mm lens has the same coverage as an EF 28mm lens.
A couple of weeks ago I loaded a roll in my M2 with the intention to try it on my regular daily photography. Thanks for taking the time to point this out!Faster shipping methods and other carrier options may be available—just upgrade during checkout. However, some ND filters are rectangular or square-shaped and are inserted into special holders that affix to the front of the lens.
)arpathos if you have the opportunity, really nice people and great food too!I have mixed Ektar and Portra 400 in a single project, and with scanning and appropriate colour correction (given the vagaries of colour in scanning…) it was almost impossible to tell them apart. Again, I didn’t have a the same location, but it is in the same direction with respect to the sun, so I think they can be compared.Thanks for your comment Lee. :)Prices, specifications, and images are subject to change without notice. Portra doesn’t look bad at all, it’s just that it’s known to be so wonderful with skin tones and somehow in my mind it’s locked for that ! It really blows my mind, you have an incredible eye for pictures, and I’m incredibly jealous! Kodak Ektar is the reason I fell in love with film photography. The local camera club's Show & Tell theme for one meeting was panoramic photos. I was used to waiting for overcast days and nice spots of open shade.Really nice photos & makes me want to shoot Ektar more! We’ll leave it to you to decide on the attributes of the film, but the photos added to the Kodak Ektar 100 group and coming up in an image search for Ektar 100, are surely stunning.
