I splurged on some Super 8 film and Kodak Portra 800 - Was it worth it?

Doing my part. Awesome shots! Thanks for making this!

[@theoldcameraguy]

Wow! Thank you so much - I really appreciate it!

[@filmismorefun]

I love that you followed the palace sign as it lit. Super cool. The contrast between Super 8 and Portra back to back was neat to see.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks Chris.

[@I.O.M.]

100% agree.

[@CynthiaDerrick]

Wow! Such a great vintage look from that Super 8! Great contrast to the Portra.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks Cynthia - I really like that juxtaposition too.

[@basstubert]

Oh this is sweet! Neon lights, Super 8 and Portra 800, what's not to like? I really love the old school vibes of the Super 8.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks!

[@Eclectachrome]

So worth it! Really enjoyed the super 8 video before the shots! And so much fun neon to shoot there ❤

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks Molly! Yep, to me it’s worth the occasional splurge.

[@thevoiceman6192]

This was nice. Your Portra 800 photos are tack sharp. See if your local libraries do art shows and speaking events. I think this would be of interest especially to people who never been there or others who have.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks - It has been quite a while since I’ve participated in any art/gallery shows.

[@Harlequin565]

Portra 800 is very nice, but it's helped by some beautiful composition, interesting subject choice, and good in-camera exposure accuracy. Lovely images Dave.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks Ian - I really appreciate it.

[@grampylash]

You have given me a good idea for a project! I live in the path of the eclipse tomorrow and have decided to load some Portra 800 in my AE1 that has been my trusty companion since ‘78 and try to capture some of the aura of the eclipse while everyone else is looking up. Nothing to lose!

[@theoldcameraguy]

Sounds cool!

[@Poverello2001]

Great video and photos. Worth every penny for developing and scanning.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks Edward.

[@aengusmacnaughton1375]

Awesome! The 500T was a lot less grainy than I expected -- and the juxtaposition of the Super 8 and sharp 35mm is great. Ollie's Trolley???? Wow! We used to have a few in the DC/Metro area like 25 years ago, but I am pretty sure that they are all gone from here now. Loved "Ollie's Fries" -- darn! What resolution did you have the Super 8 scanned at? It looked great to me!!!

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks! If memory serves, I had the Super 8 scanned at 2k resolution.

[@dave-hf1uk]

Lovely video, the super 8 film is like a hazy dream like memory and a great contrast to the tack sharp but warm Portra 800.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thank You.

[@AndrewWaltonPhotography]

I really enjoyed the contrast between the super 8 and the Portra. The portra images looked very sharp, impressive indeed. Thanks for indulging us with such an expensive project.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks for watching Andy.

[@maf421]

Good job Dave. The 800 almost looks digital after the Super 8. Did a good job with the light.

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks man

[@renemies78]

This was really cool! I love the portra 800 look. It looks so darn good. I need to get a roll of 35mm. I have a box of 120 frozen but I want to use it for something special. I also have Kodak 500T already started on my Super 8. Gonna finish it off during the eclipse 😊

[@theoldcameraguy]

Good idea using that Super 8 for something special like the eclipse!

[@Jennifer_Prentice]

That was awesome.. Talk about going back in time.. Now I am not that old but imagine all there was to shoot moving pictures was that kinda technology still today lol. Talk about simple and what you get is pretty much what you get lol. Very cool :) And that Portra looked GREAT.. I have not shot Portra yet but have been wanting to ..

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks - I just picked up a couple more rolls of Portra 800. It’s becoming one of my favorite stocks.

[@SinaFarhat]

Nice! :)

[@theoldcameraguy]

Thanks Sina!
