Film really shines in control of the highlights in some of these recent shots of yours Edward. So much better than a CMOS sensor (I say, missing my M9 somewhat!). Thank you David. It’s ridiculous how much you can overexpose color negative film. CMOS sensors have a great DR too but they need to be exposed for the highlights as they tend to preserve most data in the shadows. Different approach.
I was just thinking the same thing as I was scanning some Portra 160 last night. The film (and most other color neg film I have used) tends to look a bit muddy with even the slightest underexposure. Overexposed by one stop with Portra looks perfect to my eye.
