- Edit 12/22/23: So I have learned from a friendly comment that I didn’t actually “push” this film, but rather just over exposed it! I thought I understood pushing and pulling film but it looks like I need a little more education haha. Nonetheless, I accidentally overexposed the film by shooting at 200 iso, but I think the pictures turned out ok still. Hope you guys enjoy!
Hey guys, thanks for clicking on this video. The images you will see are all shot on Kodak UltraMax 400 pushed 1 stop. I did that by accident as I forgot to change the ISO on my camera when I put it in, rookie mistake. But this was my first into to pushing film and I don't think it turned out bad. I can see how it would be a good thing for slower speed films. I look forward to pushing other film stocks in the future! Thanks for Watching!

Hi cole, if u left the camera setting at 200 and shooting a 400 speed film like ultramax, you are not pushing it, but u are over exposing it by 1 stop which is actually great for a color film but one to each own, if u r pushing it means the camera is set at say, 800 iso and tell the lab to push process by +1 and usually it’s more contrast and saturated, love the outcomes nonetheless
Oh man I had it all backwards! Thanks for the info. I feel like I’ve seen so many videos and it’s never laid out that clear. Thanks for the clarification! Glad that my little mistake still resulted with ok imagines. Thanks for the info and for clicking on the video!
Where did you get the cool wall hanging poster? I love ultramax its great
Hi Jack, thanks for the comment! I got the poster from a gift shop at an art museum in Utah actually! I’m not sure where they sourced it from unfortunately. And ultramax is very fun, I will definitely be shooting another roll sometime!
Looks like the photos turned out awesome despite your accidental pushing of the film :)
Thank you! I’m looking forward to doing it intentionally next time :)
Photos start at 2:31 :)
Pushing is a development process which includes underexposing + overdeveloping. If you rate your film higher than box speed (i.e., shooting a 400 speed film at 800), but do not overdevelop the film to compensate for the underexposure then that is just underexposing.
In your case, you overexposed the film by rating the film lower than box speed. You did not pull the film because in order to pull film you must overexpose + underdevelop the film.
Most people out there do not know the difference between these, and throw these terms around without knowing what it all means and what it’s actually doing to the image. Hope this helps clear these concepts up for you.
Also, overexposure or pulling a film is better than underexposing or pushing a film. The latter crushes the blacks and leaves you with muddy shadows and green color casts on your images.
Thanks for the comment! I’ve come to understand that whole process a little better after your comment and a previous one! I watched a few videos prior and I think they just confused me more than cleared things up, so thanks for making it more simple! I’m glad that my mistake actually added to the look of the film and didn’t ruin it. Definitely want to try actually messing around with pushing and pulling now that I understand it a little better. Thanks for the help and for watching the video!
@@suchaphotoguy Hi there, i would like to add that if it is ok to over-expose color film without adjusting developing time (as you just did) the same cannot be said about B&W film, if you over-exposed your HP5 by one stop, it might be wise to actually "pull it" when developing the film. This process actually helps with reducing the contrast of the film and some people do it on purpose to make sure they get plenty of information in both highlights and shadows when faced with very contrasty light/subjects. Hope that was helpful, keep on shooting !
Hey, thanks so much for the advice! I didn’t know that, but it makes sense. I’m excited to try all this out now that I understand things a little better. Thanks for the help and for clicking on the video!
I always shoot umax at 200 iso
That’s good to know! I think most the pictures overexposed look great. Will have to try it and see if there are other films that would benefit from it. Thanks for the comment!
Most 400 ISO films are actually 200! Kodak dropped safety factor! More exposure better, stronger colors and Finer grain! Oh! Ultra Max is Portra!
That’s good to know! Thanks!
