Shooting Kentmere 400 at 800 ISO and Push Processing...Because High Speed Film is Too Pricey For Me

A not-very-scientific experiment where I pushed some Kentmere 400 in my usual (probably weakened through overuse) chemistry, because I wanted to shoot film in the evening, but didn't want to spend lots of money on "fast" 35mm stock. I should've got in a joke about "taking a CAMERA to CAMRA", but I wasn't on-the-ball enough!

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!
