I broke my hand and haven't done any work in almost 3 weeks.

Ari, I have punched the wall in anger once myself. Spent 6 weeks with a cast up to my elbow. I didn't know Canadians had bad tempers like we do down here.

Ektar 100, Canon RF 50/1.5.

That is one HOT photo. Love those reds!

Randy, take away our hockey, and we're no better than hyenas.

Just bought my first few rolls of Ektar to try. I've never shot it. Now I'm wondering if I shoulda stuck with Portra...seems like it's got a nasty red tint in the shadows. Are you guys shooting it at 100 or less? I need to shoot some before I take it on some big trips I have planned over Thanksgiving/Christmas in the mountains, or maybe just shoot it right before/after the golden hour when everything is blue up there.

I like Ektar...don't shoot it too often, but like to keep some handy in the case of a good situation for it.

These are from the same roll of film and the first roll of Ektar I ever shot. 100 speed. Not sure where the red tint in the above shot came from...

Bought some FP-100c, put it in the Polaroid back for my 645. Same image twice, an experiment for a day off.



View full size to see the difference. The cleared neg is grainy but has an interesting look, and it turned out better than I expected it to.

Edit: check it out full size here (attached version kinda sucks)

Gee, thanks.

It doesn't look red on my calibrated monitor, which tends to emphasize red because of its extended gamut in that direction. But it looks different on every monitor I've viewed.

I'm not noticing any different color balance than what I see from the Fuji 160C 4x5 stuff I worked on at the same time, so maybe it's just the difference between your monitor and mine, or my monitor and everyone else's.

Wasn't trying to offend, just noticing. I think the photos are fine, I just notice a red/magenta in the shadows. It could simply be a scanning thing too, being a neg film. I'll have to shoot some and make my own scans and see. The images Evin posted do not seem to have the red shadows.
