Film Looks: Overexposed Portra 400
Vložit

- When it comes to film photography Portra 400 is the KING of color film. When I first started shooting film everyone raved about the "Overexposed Portra" look and today I wanted to see if I myself could achieve that same look. In this video, I share my thoughts.

The dog was a really cool add to the shoot. Nice lady.
I’ve been on the exact opposite side of the dog situation. I was walking my dog in my town’s historic district and there was a couple getting their engagement pictures. The photographer randomly asked if they could take a picture with my dog and I happily obliged. Then after they got a few shots with my dog some guy with a 60s MG convertible offered to let them take a picture in his car. That couple definitely had an interesting save the date.
I thought these shots were shweeeeeet! 🔥🔥🔥 I think the colours are spot on. You've done an incredible job and made shooting them look so easy and effortless! Love it!
It's really refreshing hearing an honest opinion about Portra 400 since it's such a popular film stock. It's also great to hear some love for Fuji Superia, since it usually gets a lot of flack for it's colors and for being a drug store grade film. Great portraits!
Oh man, your videos are so so sooo good, I love them, really quality content, for people which loves real photography.
The Rex pic is great! I also like the look, I should do the overexposing more often again too.
Dude. Keep up with the videos man! So good loving it! Those shots are superb. Great Job.
YO! Awesome work with the shots and the video. Rare to watch a video and every shot comes out to a real bad ass shot. Youre talented my dude, really enjoyed it!
I absolutely adore your videos! Your such a skilled photographer too! I was very inspired to buy some Portra after this, but its a bit too expensive🤣 Love the videos bro!
Great Job man...i love the rich colors. Great posing from your friend 👌🏻
If you dig that soft look try shooting portra 160 @ 100. I feel like you have to over expose portra 400 by at least 2 stops to get that soft pastel look w/o digital manipulation and it can mess with the colors a bit. Portra 160 is naturally a bit smoother and lower saturation, and if you are scanning at home I find it easier to get those tones when the negs arent too dense
Really loved how these turned out. Epic photos.
Wow that shot of Rex is crazy! Love the look of these!
Dude, your photos are unreal!
Loved those photos, straight 🔥🔥
Me: tries not to over or under expose
My mamyia rb67: im about to end this mans whole career
Alec C lmao
That backlit photo is gold!!
This is dope, thank you for making this video. I’m about to shoot Portra 400 for the first time today with a client!
Dude these came out SOOOO SOLID!!!!!
Nice shots! I love the mood and the tones. WiIl have to try out Portra, so far I have only tried Cinestill 800T for night photography and I am totally impressed with it. But Portra looks pretty damn cool for daylight portraits.
I love this outtake. beautiful shots.
Great portraits, especially Rex lol. (Nice to hear you on Grainy Dayz too).
theoldcameraguy thanks brother! They need to get you on!!!
KingJvpes I’m down. I did Negative Positives last year - it was pretty chill - conversational, like Grainy Dayz
Super crisp shots. Glad I came across this. Keep it up.
These pictures are so so great! ❤
What a lovely lady!
Awesome pics, but hey, whatever film you use your pics are always great, especially because you're good at it and you have beautiful locations to go!
You nailed this !!! Wow !!!
such a good video!! you got me into film shooting man...
that one with the backlit was really really cool i must say
early bird gets the worm !! 💓💓 love ur vids bro
Yu Yan Huang Appreciate it man!!! Thank you ❤️✊🏼
Dunno why, but the shot with Jordan and the dog kinda looked like it would've made a good album cover for like a hip-hop or rap album.
These all came out amazing. I keep hearing people talking about pushing film, but for really high contrasty scenes, pulling helps you retain that information in both the highlights and the shadows. Great model, great fit, great photography on an awesome camera
Killer portraits, love the look,
These photos were fire🔥🔥
awesome video dude, photos came out great
And man, love your content soo much, wish i could meet y'all if i where in the states
It’s a wedding thing Jonathan... I over expose all my portraits by 1-2 stops over and makes for beautiful look. I miss shooting with my Pentax 6X7.
hii, how do you overexposed the film?
Let’s say my box speed is 400 asa and I hand meter at 200 asa (1stop over exposed) and shoot the entire roll at 200 asa. I then take to the film lab and tell them to process it 1stop over in development to get the look I want. There are lots of resources that will better explain what I am telling how to do it but essentially that is how I go about it. Hope that helps you better understand the process.
@@kameraloserproduction3521 Simply set the ISO (ASA on old cameras) used by the light meter for the camera to a smaller number than the rating given for the film. So, for example, if you have ISO 400 film, as in the video, set the light meter to, say, ISO 200 or 100, depending on how much overexposure you want.
@@behindeachfilmgrain Uhhh. That's over exposing AND push processing.
Over exposing is just metering one stop over and processing as normal.
behindeachfilmgrain so is that called pull, right?
Amazing video bro. I like the pictures and the results out of the camera
i love porta 400 so much
Honestly over exposed portra is better than box in my opinion 🔥🔥.. keep dropping fire bro
Dope shots! But I guess I kinda prefer box speed. I just like it when the shadows are nice and black.
Yo, Rex really added a Kool dynamic to the photo!!!
I like the look of Portra 400 overexposed, very nice. By the way would have liked to see your model smile in a few. his face lights up when he did. My 2 cents.
thank you! niceee shots
the result is really awesome
I really like the look of the ones you took of your friend Jordan
I really like these photos. I was a bit surprised at how well they turned out. Did you just do normal development?
colours are amazing
How do you meter properly? I‘m always unsure wether to work with the direct light sensor or the reflective light sensor on my light meter.
Great vid 👌🏼
Meter off the palm of your hand, it's always available and just compensate by 1 stop plus.
Hi I really love your video! May I ask what light meter app you are using and is highly recommendable. Thanks a lot!
Rendered the skin tone really nice. Dig it
very nice shots; i like the look and will try it out too!! :-)
The doggie is cute! And that is a great pic of him. :)
Really dope results!
Loved it. I'm going to shoot a roll of portra 800 at 50 and see what I get
You did a great job.
Portra 400 is cool. I like overexposing it too. I like taking photos of people with it, but places, not so much. Soft tones and subdued contrast isn’t always great for cityscapes/landscapes/travel.
New to film and trying to figure it out. In this situation would he be notifying the developer that he pulled one stop? or are these photos shot at 200 and developed the same as if they where shot at the suggested ISO? I see that on "the dark room" order form you can specify that you pulled.
Hey man! I JUST got into film photography & finished my 2nd roll of film. I want to thank you for your channel & so far, basically learned everything from you 🤘🏼 I watched your sunny 16 video, I understand to have the aperture at 16 but what if I want bokeh in my background, wouldn’t I have to drop to 2.8 range?
Speed up the shutter as you open the aperture, 1 stop for 1 stop.
rad video 🤙
This is dope. 🎞
Love those pics!😍 portra truly is a magical film. Especially if the after process is treated the right way
Nice on 👍. I thought in the beginning you‘d make something like hi-key stuff. I think you could overexpose more for try...
DAAAAAAMNNNNNNNN IS ALL I CAN SAY ON UR EVERY SHOT
Is this in Benicia? Looks awfully familiar. Love the film related vids man, keep up the good content. ✌🏻
Really cool! Love this. How would this work with black and white?
more portraits pls! ♥️
So you over exposed it by shooting at 200ISO. Did you develop it as if you shot at 400 though?
The film wouldn’t get pushed or pulled in development at all. You would develop exactly the same as you normally would.
@@DeAndresIHelp you’re actually wrong.. different speed require different development time. And yes you would develop at 200iso which mean by cutting the development time according to 200 iso. That is why it is important to let the developer know you push or pull how many stops
@@izzatsyamir2001 there is a difference between pushing and over exposing. Over exposing is shooting a 400 speed film at iso 200, meaning he already exposed for an extra stop of light and developing the same as if he shot at box speed (which is what he did in this video). Pushing is (for example) shooting at the same 400 speed film at 800 iso (underexposing by 1 stop) and then leaving it in the development tank longer to make up for the 1 stop of under exposure. (Which is NOT what he’s doing in this video) so there is no need to develop any differently if you already over exposed in camera.
@@izzatsyamir2001 also different speed films don’t need to be developed at different times as long as you’re not pushing or pulling your film you can develop 50 iso and 400 iso film at the same time.
@@DeAndresIHelp So if I shot my film pulling (1 stop down) and not developing the film for the 1 stop, will I get the same result of shooting a 400 speed film at iso 200?
Looks fabbbbulous, bruh
That lady!!! So nice!
Loved this video! Do you have facorite night film?
Yo 🤴 nice video as always brotha but I must say your mate has some dopest nicks. Also lady w dog is winner of everydays life. ✌🏽
Your boy trying real hard not to crease them off whites! lol I'l probably be walking the same way too though haha
Great Pictures
awesome
Portra 160 has really nice soft pastel colors. I find over exposing portra 400 causes a yellow/green color shift, I personally don't care for.
Roman Kralovic interesting! I gotta give 160 a shot. And I definitely see that greenish color shift. Slight but noticeable
I just got my first film camera (minolta srt 202) and shot my first roll of portra ever! Light meter on my camera is broken so I metered with my phone and overexposed by 2stops just to be safe. Sometimes three just out of curiosity of how it'd turn out. This video gave me much more hope they'll be alright haha. Can't wait to get them developed in a couple weeks
How did it turn out? I've started film photography recently after finding an old canon ae-1 for $30 and I'm addicted now... Can't go back to digital.
what are the results? I just have been shooting at the box speed for ages not knowing that Portra „likes the light” doh costed me fortune and I disnt know what I was doing wrong until I researched on You Tube.
Instant like, shot portra 400 with my summilux @200 last week
Johannes Ost how’s you like it?!
hey @@KingJvpes I currently also have a Pentax 67 and was wondering how you went about overexposing with that camera. I know you said you rated it at 200 instead of 400 ISO but was there anything else you did differently? Also did you tell the lab you were pulling the film, if so how many stops did you tell them? Hope to hear from you soon!!
KingJvpes Definitely will overexpose color-negative again, liked the portrait shots with more shadow detail, but had some problems regarding the scanning method, used silverfast, and when selecting Portra 400 iso they come out to dark, then compensate one f-stop in Lightroom later
Thank you for sharing! What analog camera did you use?
Really nice lens flare on the backlit photo. What app do you meter with??
Images look so creamy! Love them
Great! What scanner was used to scan photos?
Those photos are sick bro! If I were to overexpose portra 400 on my AE-1 program will I get close to the same results?
Why not
Nice work bro. Was this with 105 or 90mm?
Which lens, aperture? Love the colors, the detail and separation. I'm guessing about a 50 or 60 mm equivalent. I shoot portra 160 in 35 mm and 645 at 100 with faster glass and/or bright days, 400 in 645, 66 and 67 at 200 iso. On my rb67 lean towards 127, 180 and 250 lenses for portraiture.
I'm shooting portra 160 rated at 64 iso, waiting to see the results...
Similarly, I'm shooting Ektar 100 rated at 64 ISO. I used to shoot Kodachrome 64 and the colours were vibrant even at low light.
How were they?
@@jkerman5113 turned out great! Liked the colors
@@hewhotellsastory I hear ektar is a "shoot at box speed period" film.
Did you pull it for 1 stop on develop or develop like 400?
I'd call them muted colors when underexposed. Nice look for someone who is going for that!
Dude I have never once heard of a dreamy look when overexposing... From all the videos I've watched and from the people who taught me photography, overexposing was simply for that "insurance policy", less contrast, and the colors.
Jess DeTata That would just be metering for the shadows. If you meter for the shadows and then over expose you get the dreamier look.
portra can be overexposed and or pushed multiple stops. very high hardy film stock.
@@FramesPerSecond how to develop it ? the normal way ? thx
so when you set the iso to 200. are you still metering for correct exposure ? meaning change the Fstop or shutter speed ? does the camera meter show a stop over ? All this is new to me and i'm trying to understand.
Good shit.
I think it makes more sense that you shoot iso400 and iso200 under the same scene and see the difference. Because developing and scanning really affect the final view of the film photos.
New to film and trying to figure it out. In this situation would he be notifying the developer that he pulled one stop? or are these photos shot at 200 and developed the same as if they where shot at the suggested ISO? I see that on "the dark room" order form you can specify that you pulled.
Does this work if you overexpose via the aperture or shutter speed? In other words overexposing +1 via the light meter?
Would you consider showing the pictures before they were edited? What scanner did you use ?
Can you show me how to metered for the backlit photo? I’ve just started to get into filmography.
By "overexpose" do you mean setting the ISO higher than the box, or do you mean adjusting the aperture to allow more light than is needed? Or slowing the shutter speed?
Those images are great! Next roll of Portra 400 gets exposed at 200!
When you overexpose, do you also tell the lab to pull it -1?
how do you scan the negatives with the borders? using a epson v600 btw :))
ZNox ™ you can usually tell the lab to include borders in the scan, since he used a lab. Not sure about home scanning
Right, so I have porta 400. Widest aperature is F4 and it's an overcast day. How do i get a well-exposed shot? Set ISO to 800 and ask lab to process at that ISO too?
Rookie question, when you shoot 400 film at 200 instead, are you still developing like if it’s 400? Is there anything different going on in the development process? Or is it just setting for 200 before shooting and metering that way? Thanks!
I have the same question as I am just getting into film. did you find out the answer to this?
So, when we overexposing our film then we must tell the lab "I shoot this 400 at 200 iso"? or let them developing as usual?
Let them dev as usual
@@godscola Thanks!
@@tiredeyes_photography you're welcome!
you can also overexpose by asking the lab to "push", or develop, longer (i.e. shoot at box speed then have them develop at 800 speed). Contrast would be deeper and on other film stocks grain will be more pronounced, but I find that isn't the case with portra, same with contrast.
@@deophotography4337 Yea I also ever heard that "push / pull" method, but mostly people do that on bw film right?
