Brown photos (mamiya super 23) (portra 160)

[jusxusfanatic]

I don't know why but by photos turned out brown. It's my first time using it (super 23) but I don't think that's the case. I was using the portra 160 at night (kinda stupid), but yea. Any help would be appreciated~ thanks! 🙂

(Photos will look weird due to the 500x500 dimension requirement)

That looks more like a processing (or film) issue than anything camera related - is the film fresh, how did other films from the same batch turn out? If any, underexposure might have made the colour drift more visible - but again, that would be your metering technique rather than the camera.

Dunno, the film is kept in a cool place, and no direct sunlight. Yea, it's probably because of my metering, since I used my phone... Anyways, thanks 🙂

I suspect processing and or metering. But you might have a shutter problem too.

I ran these through Color Perfect. No adjustment just opened and saved. They came out pretty good.

It just looks like the blacks have been clipped to me.

Did you factor in reciprocity failure?

They're seriously under exposed. Without seeing the negs I'd say 3-4 stops. Metering at night is tough.

It's simply that the scanner is stoopid. Your exposure is fine but film is scanned by some places with the scanner set to Auto and it tries to bring everything up to an average light level. You want the blacks black but it doesn't know that. Let the lab know and perhaps they will rescan without heading out for a coffee break and not giving a t#ss.

They're seriously under exposed. .

Which you must do inorder not to burn out the high lights. But the scanner doesn't know that so tries to bring up the average brightness of the whole image
