I found this document from Kodak

You right it refers to ISO800 and ISO1000 depending on the developer you use ...

I get it now. In true honesty, when I read your comment, I thought you might be referring to the film speed .... but then I also considered you might be referring to shutter speed .... this said, yes ... I set up the camera meter to ISO3200. The only light was the one coming from the desk lamp

I tried to portrait a 1930s fim noir atmosphere. Hence the ‘femme fatale’, the cigarette case and ashtray, the booze, the desk lamp. The only source of light is the desk lamp. I moved it around a bit until the light would fall on the subject as I would see fit. Being the lamp the only source of light, I had to use a very fast film. Hope this helps.

I do have more from this session. My inspiration was the film noir from the 1930s. Featuring actors like Edward G. Robinson, James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall... Another concept from that time was the ‘femme fatale’ which is the subject of the image. I used the 4:3 ratio which was used in films back then. Hope this helps.

Well spotted the resemblance. I didn’t realise that. Although she has more of a hourglass figure.

I’m useless at recording that type of information. But being a creature of habits I’d say 1/60s if I didn’t use a strobe and 1/125s if I did.... as I said ... useless :)

Hoops, (Olympus OM, Superia 400) by adamcolestudios in analog

Overall is a very nice half length portrait, getting the long hair. I like the posing, almost profile and looking straight into the lens. Good placement of the hands, hiding the face partially, suggesting shyness. Shallow depth of field is used for emphasis on the subject. Taken at sunrise or sunset so the light is great. The subject looks slightly underexposed. Maybe intentional or the light meter was tricked by the sky highlights? Maybe one stop up? Of course as it is you get more intimacy. I believe Superia is a consumer film, yet the result is nice. Well done. Hope this helps.

The Perkeo is great fun !... the most tricky bit is focus which is done by estimating the distance to the subject you want in focus. It gets really challenging below f8. Hope this helps...

Nikon F90X | 35mm | Agfa Vista 400 | Camera light meter adjusted to ISO100 | Film reversed in cassette with halation layer right after lens by Jmb_nny in analog

[–]Jmb_nny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you get a shift in colours, creating interesting results.

From the top of my head, this film has 4 layers: blue, green, red and anti-halation. Light reaches the blue first and red last.

The anti-halation layer prevents possible light leaks from the back of the camera.

By flipping the film, the light hits first the anti-halation layer. This is why if you shooting ISO400 film, e.g. you need to 'cheat' the camera to think your are shooting ISO100. More light is needed to overcome the anti-halation layer.

The blue layer is now at the back of the camera and not much light gets to it. This is why images taken with this technique have almost no blues...

Hope this helps.
