I am asking because some labs are not pushing the C41 process because they say that the portra 400 has enough exposure latitude to compensate up two 3 stop under-exposure. Is that true?<br />Thanks<br />RonnyBlackandwhite - Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08130585699727646890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38455488.post-78091177619037600292015-12-01T02:01:29.062-07:002015-12-01T02:01:29.062-07:00Did you underexpose it for 3stop in outdoor and st...Did you underexpose it for 3stop in outdoor and still have a bokeh background?

Here is where the issue is confusing,...13 Stoploss,<br />Here is where the issue is confusing, you are thinking digital, the subject is film. Digital when you increase/decrease ISO you are increasing/decreasing the sensor sensitivity. Why, because with digital there is not a set ISO as with film. Each film has a set unchanging ISO such as Kodak Portra 400 is ISO 400, that ISO cannot be changed.<br /><br />As one underexposes film, in the example, they are rating a 400 speed film at a higher speed than the film is designed to handle thus underexposing by X f/stops. To compensate for extreme underexposure one must increase development time. Notice the film ISO remains the same. If you never shot film nor developed your own film the above film example would be quite confusing. Again, digital performs much different than film.<br /><br />Not at all is the film ISO response changed as can be accomplished with digital. Why, because as you increase the digital ISO you increase the gain in the sensor. Not so with film where rating film at a higher ISO the film ISO does not change.<br /><br />So again, you are thinking digital where you can increase/decrease sensor gain, change the sensor ISO response. Whereas with film the ISO is set thus we adjust exposure, and development times, around that set ISO.<br /><br />If you think film is too confusing remember your grandmother and great grandmother shot film so how difficult can it be.<br /><br />Hope that helps.RicDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07038097582953188696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38455488.post-43307775685121754332013-08-13T07:27:00.357-06:002013-08-13T07:27:00.357-06:00When I shoot P400, i rate at 200, meter for shadow...When I shoot P400, i rate at 200, meter for shadows and develop normally.

Each stop i...Oh and Bradley, you're both right. Each stop increase is a doubling of the amount of sensitivity (or the amount of light, in the case of aperture or shutter speed).<br /><br />Moving from 1/500 to 1/250 is one stop, and the length of time the shutter is open is doubled. Going from 1/1000 to 1/250 means the shutter is open four times the amount (1/1000 x 4 = 1/250), and represents two stops.<br /><br />ISO 3200 is 8 times more sensitive to light than ISO 400, and it is ALSO three stops more sensitive. It's the same thing.Matt Haines Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13895187802989669254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38455488.post-64155969946090482602010-12-21T09:59:52.137-07:002010-12-21T09:59:52.137-07:00Oof, this has gotten a bit ugly. And since I happe...Oof, this has gotten a bit ugly. And since I happen to know '13 stoploss' I feel compelled to jump in (probably a mistake)…<br /><br />When you rate a film at a different speed than what's written on the box, you're pretending the film is rated at that new speed. Like Josh said above, pretending your film is more sensitive is not the same thing as boosting its sensitivity. If you pretend ISO 400 film is really as sensitive as ISO 3200 film, then you're pretending it can pick up more light than it really can. So that means you'd give it less light than it really needs for proper exposure.<br /><br />To compensate, you have to make up for this pretending by pushing the film.<br /><br />Alenxandre: the answer is "neither". The new Portra 400 has no VC or NC designation. Your local shop does not yet have the new film apparently.Matt Haines Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13895187802989669254noreply@blogger.com
