Hi /p How do i find out what a certain film looks like? I am

search tumblr for the name of each film, people often tag their photos with the sort of film/gear they were using. this is generally what I do when I'm looking for film comparison images.

Portra 400 is the boss for skin tones. As the name implies, it's a portrait film, so it renders skin tones incredibly well.

Overexpose it by a stop and you'll love it even more. Soft, pastel colours and excellent shadow detail if you expose it at 200 and develop it normally

ive noticed film seems all about this washed out white skin tones.
I want the opposite, dark tan.
What film does dark tan skin tones?

>>3046203

like im my op pic, admitedly quite a yellow tan and id prefer a bit browner but its saturated darker skin tones.

>>3046203
That sort of thing is more dependant on the light you're shooting in than the film you use.

Ektar 100 is more saturated than Portra, but has a tendency to make skin tones quite red

>>3046206

fair enough, so i need darker lighting? or harder light to get the darker tan?

Pushed portra 400 to 800 if you know a lab that push c41 or cheap color film overexposed.

BW too, OP? HP5 or TriX at 1600.

dont listen to the portra memers, for they dont know any better. ektar for dark skin tones? lolno. pushed portra? yeah if you want the thumblr hipster look.

you need underexposed slide film for what you want. id use velvia 100.

use flickr to know how each film looks like (more or less).

yeah those skin tones but not the bg as dark as that.
is it possible?

Get vsco lightroom presets - they have a lot of film kinds

>>3046171

Why not digital?

Skin tones will look better on a proper digitak camera.

>>3046231
That's down to your scene and light
Also, slide takes precision and experience, especially if you want looks as technical as that example.

Lol, no, colour depth and dynamic range of digital sucks dick in comparison to c41.

>>3046368

c41 has over 15 stops if dynamic range?

>>3046381
way more

>>3046381
Yeah, more dr with quality degradation. That's how film works.
