Everything you need to know about what kind of film to use!
I’ve been shooting film for a long time and I’ve been able to shoot a lot of both of these film stocks! The main differences between Ektar 100 and Portra 400 are that Ektar 100 is very saturated whereas Portra 400 can have quite pastel colours. Ektar 100 is made specifically for landscape photography, so…
I’ve been shooting film for years and over that time I’ve been lucky enough to shoot all different kinds. The main difference between Kodak Portra 800 and Cinestill 800T is that Cinestill produces its trademark halation in the highlights and Portra does not. Also, Cinestill is tungsten balanced whereas, Portra 800 is daylight balanced. There…
I’ve been a film photographer for about seven years, and over that time I’ve discovered how to shoot film in the most cost-effective way. You can save money when shooting film by using out-of-date film, shopping around for film cameras, shooting budget film stocks and developing and scanning film yourself. These are some of the…
I’ve been shooting film for years and over that time I’ve taken my film to a lot of different labs to get it developed. The actual process of developing and scanning film can take an hour but usually, your order will be in a backlog which means it wouldn’t be unusual for it to take…
After shooting both Portra 160 and 400 for years I’ve learned all of the small differences between these two stocks! Of course, Portra 400 is a higher ISO film stock than 160 and so it has a bit more grain but that’s not the only difference. Portra 400 has up to 12 stops of dynamic…

Most people would agree that Kodak Gold 200 is the best film for travel for someone who doesn’t need to take the absolute highest quality shots. Alternatively, if you’re shooting more important photos then Kodak…
I’ve been shooting landscapes on film for over 7 years and over that time I’ve found out what the best stocks are for the job. Fuji Velvia 50 and Kodak Kodachrome are two of the best colour films available but they’re both slide film which can be a lot more expensive than traditional film. Kodak…
I’ve been shooting film for a very long time and over the years I’ve shot a lot of 35mm and medium format film! The main differences between 35mm and medium format film is that medium format is a much larger negative, it can be scanned at a much higher resolution, it can provide sharper detail…
Expired film can be a scary thing to approach as it’s unknown what you’re going to get. Over the years I’ve shot and developed a lot of old film and now I can guide you along! Camera film can last 30-40 Years if the film is kept refrigerated. Film expiry dates are 2 years after…
I’ve been shooting film for 7 or so years now and over that time I’ve shot a lot of Portra 160 and It’s slowly becoming one of my favourite film stocks. Kodak Portra 160 has very fine grain, brilliant skin tones and amazing exposure latitude, making it an almost perfect film stock for all kinds…
