Cinema Colour in a Little Blue Box

CineStill 50D is a relatively slow, fine-grained/high-resolution, colour-accurate negative film that shows prominent red halos around bright highlights. In this review, I share numerous samples made with this film (along with a downloadable high-res scan), explain its origins, cover technical aspects, and give a few exposure tips.

My Experience With Kodak EIR Film

Analogue and alternative photography offers many avenues towards visual creativity. Infrared colour film creates one of those special opportunities to try something quite different than straight colour work.

For Film to Digital Workflows

Monochrome — Kodak Tri-X 400

A Classic High-Contrast, Easy to Scan Monochrome Emulsion

Tri-X is a unique film in that it requires no post-scanning adjustments for most well-exposed frames, at least when developed in Ilford DD-X. Once you get your negative digitized, it’s usually enough to just invert it. No normalization, no contrast adjustments, no sharpening required.

When November arrives, the weather gets cooler, the leaves change color, the football season reaches the half-way mark, and holiday decorations start going up. I have looked forward to this time of year for as long as I can remember. It instills memories of family, friends, and holiday gatherings.

One of the most interesting 35mm film stocks that I have been shooting with lately is CineStill 800T. I’ve taken pictures of city streets, store windows and hotel lobbies at night with this film, and the end results are enchanting and almost dreamlike.

A Road Trip With the New Kodak Ektachrome

E-6 — Ektachrome

A Re-Introduced Classic Film

Back in the day, when I shot the original Kodak Ektachrome, it felt special. It wasn’t an “everyday” stock; I took more time with my photography when it was loaded in the camera. Other than the cost, its bold colors, sharpness, and fine grain placed it apart from other film.

I remember waking up the day after they bought it [the camera] for me, rushing over to it, grabbing it and staring at it as if it were about to disappear. I remember mentioning to my parents that I was under the impression it might have been a dream.

Instant Results in Palm Springs and at Joshua Tree With a Polaroid 600

The magic of instant film begins the moment you press the oversized shutter button on the Polaroid camera. The distinct noise is apparent immediately, and this is followed by the sound of a soon-to-be-seen picture making its way along rollers toward the front of the camera, where it will be removed.
