Way Over Exposed Porta

[Dektol Dan]

Leaving the readers next to the coffee, I left for the shoot film in pocket camera around the neck. It seems nowadays more public events will not allow bags or back packs of the size that will hold two cameras or a bottle and a camera.

Not being able to read the the ISO setting on the M6, I gave it my best guess and loaded the 160 Port NC.

I was shocked to find I was nearly two stops over exposed when I off loaded the M6.

Anyway, I was pleased with the Kodachromeness of it, so have a look.

Isn't Portra a C-41 film? I think they always like some over-exposure. I've heard that anything up to four stops will yield good prints. They HATE under-exposure, though! Just the reverse (pun) of slide film.
Great color!,

It's a very forgiving film. Since I've been developing my own C41 colour I've been impressed with the results of the Portra 160VC I've been using. I discovered Fuji Reala is not so forgiving and results have been indifferent when exposure was not accurate.

Yes, Portra VC is a favorite.
