Kodak ULTRA 400UC Cross Topic

[venchka]

In the "Boring Landscape" thread I promised to waste film at Thanksgiving shooting landscapes. I also bought my first box of Kodak ULTRA 400UC at Wal-Mart for this occasion. I bracketed most shots at ISO 100-200-400. All exposures worked well. I am very pleasantly surprised with the results from this film. Several 400 exposures were the best of the 3.

Thanks for looking. All comments welcome and appreciated.

Cheers!

nice. I'm surprised by your results and the subtly of the color. I usually get more saturation with 400UC (my favorite color film), but then again I don't shoot a lot of color nature landscapes. nice shots.

Thank you.

Perhaps it is the scanning process. I didn't do anything to these with Lightroom. As I recall, the leaves and berries were +0, the pumpkins -1 (I should have used the polarizer here), the full tree +0 & the last is +1. All metered with my Canon Elan IIE with ISO set to 200.

Well, the (relative) overexposure will decrease saturation, so that might explain it along with the scanning process. Nice work.

Thank you.

Why trust my memory, hey?

These are in order: 0, -1, +1, ISO 200. I'm sure the cement driveway fooled the meter. They all look overexposed.

Same sequence. ISO 200. 0, -1, +1

The colors in your pics look natural. Nice.

I also like Kodak UC 400 or 100. In this sample, I scanned at 600dpi and downsized for the web.

I agree. I rate UC at the box, but I think it's better to do like you do, Wayne, and overexpose it a some.

Nice shot, annie.

I forgot all about this roll of ULTRA 100UC. My first with the 50mm DR Summicron. Box speed I think. Possibly ISO 80, but no slower.

I wish the ULTRA 100UC were easier to find.

The 100UC is easy to mail order, at least.

One more 100UC

Yes it is. That's about the only place I can find it.

One more with ULTRA 100UC. I think you would have to look at large prints from the 100 & 400 to see any difference. I have to agree with those who say the that the 400UC has the grain of the 100UC. Or very close.
