thanks for the informative video and great images. I recently saw a post where Quintavius Oliver talked about not writing Ektar off, especially for black and brown skin and your photos support this. Looking forward to more videos
Glad you found it helpful. I'm also glad to have given this film another try because like you mentioned, it's a gem for black skin. Thanks for watching.
When Ektar first came on the market is was marketed as very fine grain film. I photographed a lot of different skin tones and I never had anyone have a issue with the colors. I'm not saying its perfect for everything but people in general don't know anything. Back in the day before HDTV everyone had a tube TV and a lot of people had wacky colors because they did not set their settings right. I bought a special DVD just to calibrate my TVs.
I was hoping to find an expired roll of Ektar 1000 to use one day. I know the colors will probably not be the same due to the age and potential storage but would still be cool nonetheless.
@@DCaldwellPhotography There is a company called Cobalt Image they are said to have the best camera profiles for film. They might have Ektar profile for Lightroom or Capture One. Also DXO makes a film program to simulate film and it works with DXO PhotoLab.
Also, I love the vhs effect at the beginning of the video.

Welcome to the Ektar club 😎🎉
I knew you’d make your way to this video eventually. 🤣🤣
These are gorgeous! More Ektar please!
Thank you for watching! More to come.
Great video. I prefer Ektar for POC portraits. But like you said, you have to meter. Wonderful pics, by the way.
Thanks alot! Glad I started shooting it again. It definitely is a wonderful film stock. Thanks for watching.
Lovely photos!
Thank you for watching
Ektar is fantastic!
I’m starting to realize that. lol, thanks for watching!
I use to shoot KODAK EKTAR 125 a lot back in the day. They even had KODAK EKTAR 25 and a 1000 I think.

nasty color cast on skin imo
Ok. Thanks for watching though!
@@DCaldwellPhotography I like ektar but cant seem to avoid bad color cast on portraits. but it's just an issue of preference I guess.
