Psychedelic Street 400 film | First Look

[@HelloMammaMya]

I love how the reds and greens looked, but it breaks my heart how the yellow sunflowers turned out. 😩 Thanks for sharing!

[@theoldcameraguy]

Yep, the sunflowers and corn got drained

[@cdl0]

Yellow is difficult to reproduce because it occupies only a very small part of the full colour space and lack a good, or well-defined complementary colour. This is a well-known problem in colour science. Yellow needs special measures to make it work properly.

[@comfortablyblind6853]

I was just going to say, reds are niceish, but it does not like yellow. Not one little bit.

Feels like a trip back to the 1960s on a summer vacation. May have to try some!

[@theoldcameraguy]

That’s a good analogy - Thanks for watching

[@basstubert]

Oh, I love the gritty toned-down images! My favorite of the roll is the shot of the sunflowers...

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks for watching man

[@filmismorefun]

Interesting color saturation. I feel like the name is kinda misleading though. "Psychedelic" screams vibrant weird colors or an experimental aspect, but that's just me. 🤷

[@theoldcameraguy]

Yeah, I think these are definitely not psychedelic in terms of vibrant colors. More psychedelic in terms of vintage looking photos that evoke old slightly faded photos from the psychedelic era/timeframe.

[@filmismorefun]

@@theoldcameraguy ahh okay, I can maybe see that angle. But idk, I still want some weird lol.

[@thealaris]

Yeah, looks more like consequences after taking something psychedelic

[@pacheaco727]

Just experimented with my first roll of this as well. Just awaiting the scans.

[@theoldcameraguy]

I hope you like what you got!

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

Yeah -- it's got that mellow color vibe of the European color films -- works well with subjects that have lots of color pop -- as well as the overcast midwest. And interesting skin on the portraits, a bit gritty and grainy, looking more like 'news' photos. And hey -- no wonder the fair is empty! All the folks in Delaware (the state) are still on the road trying to get there!!! 🤣

[@theoldcameraguy]

And again, I’m always trying to to get into the fair before the rides open to get that desolate, deserted look

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

@@theoldcameraguy Right -- and you have a lot more freedom for composition versus competing with a crowd. The only bad part is that most of the food places aren't open yet! I love the shots of the various county-fair 'home-made' competition items -- our local county fair is losing a lot of that as our county has been transitioning from mostly farmland to now mostly residential....

[@theoldcameraguy]

@@aengusmacnaughton1375Yeah, I can’t pass up a jelly jar with a ribbon attached lol

[@AndrewWaltonPhotography]

It's definitely has a retro vibe going on there, Dave. I think it worked quite well for the portraits, too. My favourite shot was the two chairs on the metal fence.

[@theoldcameraguy]

I liked the portraits better than I thought I would

[@BerndtOtto]

Love this film !!! Desaturated colors with slightly bluish vibe. The grain also seems to be not too annoyingly strong. Just hard to get, probably … and not cheap, considering the shipping costs from overseas. 😬

[@mnltphts]

Thanks for inspiration. Really nice shots and relaxing video :)

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks for watching

[@cdl0]

The old Agfa ancestry of this film is clear from the colours and the grain texture. It is good that this is still available.

[@theoldcameraguy]

I agree

[@Minolta_Gal]

Nice shots, as always. I’ll have to try and pick some up so I can play with it.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks - I liked the subdued palette of this one

[@airstreamer]

Interesting to see how the colors came out! And ohh, what it does to yellow? As usual a very fun photo shoot! -Michelle

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks - Yes, yellows were crazy!

[@jamesjuranke]

Thank you for sharing! Recon it's a ORO for sure! But I think it's great that more and more film regales of where it is from is out there, the more film the more people can shoot! Keep doing what you are doing! :)

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks for watching man

[@SinaFarhat]

Nice! :)

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks Sina!

[@lolkthnxbai]

"maybe I'll try it out in San Francisco for the fun of it, around Haight-Ashbury" saw the yellows, nah i think I'll just get some 250d. 😔

[@thevoiceman6192]

Nice photos. I like the colors on the rides. It seems to turn yellows into another color as in your corn and sunflower photos. I would check this film out. And speaking of rebadged film. Fuji is supposedly having Kodak make their film since Fuji film is made in the USA now. Rumor has it it is actually Gold and Ultramax. I don't think that is right. The ony rebadged film that I am sad about.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Yeah, I’ve heard this same thing about the whole Fuji/ Kodak manufacturing process

[@Jennifer_Prentice]

Yeah as I was watching I was thinking the same things you said.. Nice calm slightly muted colors that would be easy to edit how you like.. The colors are quite close to real and the whites are nice.. See I often can only find stuff like Fuji in markets around here if I am in a hurry to pick up something.. And Fuji tends to have this almost greenish tones to the dark areas sometimes.. I noticed this film did not and the shadows and whites where quite nice .. If it had less grain it would be a close contender maybe with some Portra. Thanks for the video

[@theoldcameraguy]

I picked this film up from Freestyle when I was ordering Arista EDU film for next year’s Frugal Film Project

[@markattardo]

Good stuff!!

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks man!

[@orrin-manning]

Does it work?

[@theoldcameraguy]

Yes

[@yardhog]

Context. On their own, they had a good image captures but when compared to the live video you included, the film became lifeless. Colors were muted, yellow's were especially flat. Over all it had an over exposed look to it. Having said that, my favorite film has been the Kodachrome 64 since 1975 when I shot my first roll in high school.

[@lensman5762]

Orwo perhaps?

[@theoldcameraguy]

Most likely
