  • Just got back from Barcelona where I played with shooting skateboarding on film. Jesus, it's hard. Everyone recommended Portra 400, so that's what I got, but because it was always sunny and the film is so sensitive, I always had to keep the aperture closed almost all the way which ruined the depth of field. And I still need to learn a lot about correct exposure - some of the shots are either too dark, or don't have enough contrast. In hindsight, I think I should've got the Portra 160 and open the aperture a bit more.

    EOS 300 + Portra 400:

    Ricoh AF5 + ColorPlus 200:

  • Deep depth of field with sun, colours and fast exposures looks great. Honestly don't get why you'd prefer shallow depth of field with any of these. First one the canopy has a weird solarised/negative look, in a good way.

  • Not necessarily with the ones on the previous page, but have a look at those two. There's a lot happening in the background.
