I think the ektachrome looks better in all the photos, it’s more reflective of how I’d edit digital photos in every day life, it has a darker moodier tone which I love. Especially the way it renders the greens because I hate how greens normally look straight out of camera.
I totally agree with you.
Actually liked the Ektachrome more. Looks more 3D, skin looks more flattering too. And I'm a big big Portra lover. Also props to her, she did a great job posing for you, especially making sure the shots are identical.
This is fantastic, Matt. The way Ektachrome renders skintones in 4x5 is mindblowing. Well done!
Noooice, you could almost just frame the 4x5 positives.
I’ve always thought about this, even for other formats, is there a backlit frame made for framing positives? Seems like it could be really cool
The ektachrome looks insane on the light table, wow. I have my first roll of ektachrome ever in my bronica right now, and even thought it's just a 6x4.5, I'm still excited to see the results I get
I feel like her skin tone looks much, much better on the ektachrome than on the Portra photos, which is surprising to say given we’re talking about Portra here! The Portra shots also looked a little harsher on her skin, as opposed to the ektachrome, which I think was more flattering.
Portra 160 shouldn’t even carry the name Portra. Shit looks worse than Colorplus
Portra was mainly for wedding shooters who had different levels of light. When it came to studio/fashion or general portraits, slide was king.
@@bootsie5396 that doesn't make any sense. isn't it just a lower 160 version of the same film stock?
Obviously it'll partly depend on how your video footage was colour graded, but it definitely seems to me like the Ektachrome was closer to the natural look of the scenes. The Portra seemed to go a little too yellow, especially in the greens, whereas the Ektachrome went the opposite and the greens are more blueish to emerald green but closer to the video footage colours. Same goes for the skin tones, though it's much more subtle. Really nicely done with the shooting, too! These are some gorgeous portraits that'd look great in a professional context like a business website or something.
Shooting everything I could just for the experience led me to see different light in terms of film stocks. Colours and colour temperature can be used to enhance the film or vice versa to tame the environment. Adds so much to the creative process imo!
e100 hands down killed it
This comparison was SO educational. I loved seeing direct differences between the stocks, and I can only imagine how amazing a 4x5 positive would look 😍
I preferred the Ektachrome in every shot. That slide film look is generally good reason for spending the extra coin on the film. The fact that developed slide film is far more stable than color negative film for the long term plus color slide film tends to be sharper than color negatives plus that great slide film look makes it an excellent choice.
there's man who has just found love in his 4*5 photography !!
I'd love to try E100 someday, I shoot mostly Provia 100f 4x5. It's cheaper in France and I felt in love with it the first time I opened my dev tank and saw the amazing hues of Provia. A comparison between the two would be awesome
I absolutely love E100 on 4x5 ... love this comparison!
ektachrome just hits different, definitely my favourite colour film
Molly looks beautiful. And I love her smile between shots when you filmed her. Also such a cool comparison Video. I love ektachrome but always just shot it while outdoors and not on portraits. Some of my favourite shots have been created like this.
Very informative. BTW, Molly has a great smile.
Can't wait to try shooting 4x5
Great comparison Matt..Ektachrome for me anytime as I’m familiar in 35mm for many years! I think Portra is better suited for studio work with control lighting. I know you are making an effort shooting 45…. but please keep it coming. You do great work teaching! Thanks for sharing as always…Cheers!
Thanks so much for the knowledge Matt! Color positive film is definitely something that I aim to try out soon. Can’t wait to try out my first 4x5 slide on a light table. Special shout-out to Molly for being a Covid Warrior in our health field! Cheers guys!🤘📸
Use E100 at ISO 80, not ISO 100. Much better in the shadow areas…otherwise excellent shots. Greetings from a E100 5x7 shooter!
4*5 slide is awesome
Yeah... the Ektachrome is the clear winner in all the photos. Maybe the backgrounds in the Portra shots were better exposed, but at the same time her skin seemed blown out, and since the main point is the person, so I think that makes Ektachrome the winner.
Portra all day for me. Great video Matt 🤘🏻
That 4x5 slide is so damn beautiful
Provia is also a superb film, my favorite color film now (after using Porta before)
I have some film sent off to the Darkroom as we speak! Love that place.
two things -
1. great video
2. wow those portraits were amazing :O
I like the ekachrome the most, speaking of that light table ..Any info on it?
Thanks!!
Man you look so young when you shave :)
I never want to get into 4x5 but you make it look so appealing!
thanks for the comparison video this helps!
awesome video and photos
Thanks! This is VERY helpful!!!
I just love ektachrome!! I had bought a roll back when it first came back, but I never shot it because in my city the labs don't process slide!! It costs a ton of money to ship it and get developed, so I just have it chilling in my fridge!! 😒
Awesome video. Thank you.
Looks great keep it up
man Ektachrome is amazing on 4 x 5
Color renditions aside, in my area there's a pretty big price difference between negative and transparency color, bothin purchase and developing price. I'm resisting getting attached to 4x5 ektachrome!
In the shot at 3:04, both looks good in their own way but how well did each film render the actual color of the large doors in the background? Were they the dark bluish grey or were they sea green?
Lovely, this has definitely encouraged me to jump and try E100! Btw what’s that camera? It looks great
The E100 tends to be better for many applications. The Portra 160 in my experience has MUCH better color rendition than what was scanned here. The Blue/Green issues between the photos here are really unfortunate and not representative of what Portra is capable of. I have gotten incredible results from 160 scans. Albeit it takes more work to color balance than E100.
She’s very pretty when she smiles.
Would pushing the Portra 160 to 400 give it more color punch?
That was awesome mate. I love 4x5 I use it as much as I can. I love listening to you, do you want a coffee?
When you shoot color negative, all it matters for looks is how you scan it and how you interpret the scan. Your negative scan is lacking, to say the least. Portra 160 is one phenomenal film that looks much better in a proper scan, and also, on negative film you can always interpret it the way you like. Sure, there is no wrong way to interpret negative film scans, mostly, but it's a stretch to say that is looks worse than Ektachrome... my two cents.
Portra 160 get a really nice pop at 100 to 80 ASA.
what light table do you have?
I think the ektachrome looked better in every image comparison
I actually prefer E100 filmed on the light table which is different than scanned E100 :-)
Scanned is too contrasty!
Is it me or does Portra's green color cast changes the color of Molly's eyes? Oh yeah, even her tattoo is greenish on Portra and blueish on Ektachrome.
How do they compare on therms of detail?
What did she think?
Would be interested to know too.
If the Portra was exposed 1/2 stop under you would have a much closer match. Fuji Astia would have given you a closer rendition to your visualisation.
E6 is such a crusher. Have you considered developing it at home? Hint hint!!
Check it out, it’s hot Mona Lisa.😀 Aka, Molly.😏😑
A friendly word of warning: Don't EVER look at an 8x10 transparency on your light table! :-)
I was shown one when I was just a couple rolls into learning film photography - I was so confused! How can you tell me that was directly shot by a camera? It's a large positive photo!
