"I have photographed Rock concerts on film for while now, and no other 35mm color film I have used comes close in latitude and tonality. I have used Portra 400 & 800, as well as fujifilm Superia 1600. Cinestill wins every time."

Beta test exposure bracketing 500Tungsten

Posted by CineStill on

Mixed tungsten and gloomy window light, general in camera meter. Full stop bracketing. No push processing in standard C-41 machine. Scanned on a Fuji Frontier SP2500 w/ minor correction.
100%crop from the same scene so you can see how exposure effects grain. 
Very cool overcast light on a rainy day in L.A. from EI 100-6400 no push, no filter, ugly image of boring building (pretty much as bad as it...
