Hi!! I was wondering what film you used for that picture in the background of your video. It's the one that has the toll booths with the blue sky and clouds. Looks absolutely beautiful and I would love to recreate those colors myslef.
Thank-you so much for the compliment on my picture. It's a long time ago that I shot it (2005) on a trip to Cuba, so I can't remember 100% what I used for this particular picture...but I think I was carrying an Eos300 film camera loaded with 100 ASA Kodak colour negative film and an Eos Digital - probably the 20D - both used with 50mm f1.8 and 24-70mm f2.8 lenses. I think I was using the film camera for this shot but can't be sure. No filters were on the lenses, but it was shot through a coach window which was probably polarised glass. I may have increased the saturation in Photoshop before sending the image file to be printed. I fear both my original negatives and the hard drive with the RAW files on it are lost to time, so I can't check. Hope this helps anyway. Happy shooting!
I didn't realise that Kentmere made film stock, I used to use Kentmere B&W print paper many years ago and they were my favourite. I used to do a lot of film photography in aircraft museums, and I would use HP4 pushed to 1600 or sometimes higher, I always liked the contrasty grainy effect which really suited the subject matter. Yes, push processed HP4 and printed on Kentmere paper, a favourite combination. I really miss it now.
I believe Kentmere is Ilford's "budget" film...I'm not familiar with the paper, I'm afraid. Anyway, it is a nice low contrast film for scanning...and affordable. I love HP4 but it's a "treat" film for me at the moment. Thanks for watching, and for commenting 🙂
Thanks for watching. I find the Kentmere not too grainy (except when I underexpose it...or push it hard!) but it does seem very low contrast. Great for scanning with my digital camera, maybe not as good for optical printing, but I haven't any firsthand experience to back that up. Enjoy your photography! 🙂

Great video! I've never used Kentmere but may give it a go. I do like a grainy film.
