Filter on/filter off

Ahhhhh, tungsten-balanced film! I wish there were more of you in the world!

I kind of take it for granted that I’ll have to put in some effort in post making Cinestill films look right but sometimes I hate the extra computer work. A few months ago I picked up a 52mm Nikon-branded Wratten 85B filter for use shooting Cinestill 800T outdoors, and it works like a charm, much better right out of the scanner. Though I really do like the look of the unfiltered shot as well, even with early dawn light it was still pretty damn blue. I really think that if you are planning on using this film in all conditions, it behooves you to get an 85A or 85B filter. Armed with one of these Cinestill 800T easily becomes the most versatile color film you can buy; I just hope that someday Kodak makes something like a Portra 1600T so I don’t have to deal with the annoying halation effects…

Now that’s what I call style!

If I do say so myself. Modeling my brand-new shirt, self-designed (kind of) and custom tailored through my local Colorado Springs haberdashery. They sent me a Christmastime coupon, and my boss gave me a gift certificate as well, which went a long way towards paying for this shirt. I’ve worn it a couple times already to events where I needed to dress business-casual.

I’ve used Cinestill 800T a few times, usually indoors with very poor lighting, but I recently bought an 85B filter and am starting to use this film in more all-around capacities. I’m happy to say that the results have been incredibly promising!

Also…it occurs to me Katie that I’ve given you crap for the very thing I’ve just done…shoot some good low-light film outside in rather bright conditions. Sorry.
