Also, I love the vhs effect at the beginning of the video.

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.

Great video. I prefer Ektar for POC portraits. But like you said, you have to meter. Wonderful pics, by the way.

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 use to shoot KODAK EKTAR 125 a lot back in the day. They even had KODAK EKTAR 25 and a 1000 I think.

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.

Amazing photos ! 🤩 Do you shoot Ektar at 100 ISO or do you overexpose ? In september I'm going to Corsica and I'm thinking of taking a few Ektar films
@DCaldwellPhotography5 ай бұрын
I usually always shoot it at 100 iso. You should definitely take a roll or two to use while you're there. Thanks for watching.

LOVE kodak Ektar. It's my favorite film. LOve saturated film. I never listen to what they say. My photos come out good. You should use a flash bracket instead of putting it on the hot shoe.

@@DCaldwellPhotography I like ektar but cant seem to avoid bad color cast on portraits. but it's just an issue of preference I guess.
