Wow...just "wow". Love how you share the inside of your mind. "Thank you".
Thanks for watching
Yeah the multi color traffic signals are interesting. Gives the shot more "pop" and I agree the film looks better.
Thank you for your comment. Yes, I like the film better for this shot :)
I've only been to Compton one time and I only remember the donut shop and a really nice dude that worked at the gas station down the street from there. Film will always hold the highlights better.
Yep, l like shooting film just for that reason. Thanks for sharing.
Well the ektar is just absolutly great for sunrise/set and i'm only experienced with 35mm... but even drumscanns from a 35mm ektar is just kick ass quality and tones. Beautiful shots by the way, love it!
Thank you. Yep I love me some Ektar.
love the Ektar shot, the film accentuates the red and orange paint on the buildings, heaps better, more colourful shot than the digital. PS: last year 2023 I shot a roll of this in my Hasselblad 500c\m and it looked great to, albeit in sunnier conditions {~EV17; 1/125-1/250th of a sec. shutter speed}; great to know that at EV 5/6 you can get good shots too, as for a couple of mine, at the settings shown above, over-exposed some shots full white, and that was with shiny things and glare in the shot.
Ektar is my favorite at the moment. The grain is much finer than portra, so for drum scanning it makes a difference.
Damn how I miss my Ektar 25 film.
Yes, there are a lot of things I miss when it comes to film. Glad we at least have something :)
Interesting side note... if you look at an aerial view on Google Maps, you'll see that the intersection in front of Dale's Donuts is riddled with "donuts".
interesting, thanks for sharing
nice video, but one question, you say 8 seconds for the exposure at 6:52 but you don't mention reciprocity failure, as that may come into the equation too, most youtubers use rf compensation as soon as 1 sec. is reached on the meter, but, you don't mention (even while checking yourself), any added time, you just seem to quote the meter reading.
Does Kodak Ektar not suffer from reciprocity?, or just not at that shutter speed?
I use an app for reciprocity failure. I knew ahead of time from using Ektar, that it does not experience reciprocity failure until you get to around 60 seconds or so. Portra on the other hand does, and I call that out in a previous video when noting my exposure.
@@Media.ExpertPhoto a great thing to know, and appreciate, that this film can cope with a second or two without problems 🙂; a great thing to tell us about, it helps us "beginners" in this format, with film choice, as if reciprocity doesn't come into affect until 60 sec. then a great one for outside shooting in bright conditions (using a Lee small or big stopper ND), esp. when encountering glaring conditions like water, cars, etc. it realy gives me confidence in using this film.
I wonder how many photographers in UA-cam meter light with the digital cameras but they pretending to do it with the spot meter…do you think you can get same results on digital on film?
Yes, light is light. EV values don't change between digital and film. Film just tends to look different because the colors and the fact that film holds the highlights better. I have used a mirrorless camera to meter a film scene before. It works fine. For longer exposure and pinpoint metering I prefer a light meter. Especially for the scene in this video.
@@Media.ExpertPhoto nice job I like the film version better too!
