Picking the Perfect Summer Film

Lessons •

Having trouble deciding which color film to load into your camera this summer? 

 

 

Here’s our guide to pick the perfect film for your summer plans. 


Headed somewhere sunny?

Pick a film stock with a low ISO number like Kodak Gold 200 or Ektar 100. 


Kodak Gold is a warmer, medium-contrast film with very fine grain. 


Ektar 100 is a high saturation film commonly used for landscape photography with even finer grain


Shooting photos at sunset or after dark?

Pick a film stock with a higher ISO number, like Portra 800 or CineStill 800.

Portra 800 is a warmer film that has a bit more grain, and is ideal in low-light situations. 

Cinestill 800 is another great option in low-light situations known for its halation, which can add a glowing effect to your photos.


Uncertain?

If you aren’t certain what lighting conditions you’ll be shooting in, opt for a more versatile film like Fuji 400.
