Excellent new channel brother! Love the relaxed pace, quality photos, and the stories still filled with fun goofs and gaffs. Btw, our goose like cousin Dave has got his incontenence under control now. It's helping him chill out more.
Thanks my friend, and for the M6 yes that's usually what I do with Portra 400, meter for shadows and then either shoot at box speed or overexposure by 1/2 to 1 stop
I just bought a roll of portra 400 to use in my Canon AE-1 I recently bought. I grew up with film but we only had point and shoot cameras. Most of them were 110 film. My understanding is that it's best to shoot one stop over exposed for portra 400. Is this correct? If I'm not mistaken, I believe I would set the ISO knob to 200 and then go from there. I think the roll was around $17 US. I think it'll cost about that much to develop plus digital copies. I forgot how decisive you have to be with film. You only have a certain number of shots on a roll. It's going to cost you for every shot so you better make every shot count. I think on the long run it'll make me a better photographer worth my digital cameras. I think it'll help me see my shots better because I'll have to slow down and think about it.
Hey Carl, awesome congrats. And yes to the slowing down part and making you a better photographer overall (I've found that at least - as have many others). For portra 400 yes you can overexpose 1 stop, some people do 2. Some shoot at box speed. Personal preference really but I find 1 stop overexposure buys me a bit of latitude incase I mess up my exposures (as the film does well overexposed but under the shadows get a bit muddy)

Very enjoyable and informative video. I've used Portra 160, but not 400. Greetings from Singapore.
Thanks my friend!
Thank you for being such a positive representative of those of us who just genuinely like elevators 😂
My pleasure Caleb, gotta represent my elevator friends!
Your video color grading looks very filmic. Well done!
Thanks for this informative video and really vibrant pics. For the M6, did you meter for the shadows and shoot at box speed?
