Halation on Kodak Portra 800

I was playing around and took some photos of lights at night with Kodak Portra 800. I had just gotten the Nikon 16mm f2.8 fisheye lens so I was trying it out. I developed the film and noticed that on the bright string lights I was seeing something that looks like halation! Pretty cool, I didn’t realize I’d get this. I love the halation on Cinestill 800t so this was a nice surprise.

I have an Irrational fear of... developing slide film.

Spider photographed on Kodak Ektacrome 100 film and then developed with Cinestill Creative slide Dynamic kit.

Unfortunately with the slide kit I made two huge mistakes.

The first time I self-developed Kodak Ektachrome 100 I used the Cinestill slide developer kit. I used the dynamic chrome version. I was really excited. I’ve had huge success with their regular C-41 kit. I use it exclusively actually, I highly recommend it.

Mistake #1

My thermostat was off by probably 5 degrees. I didn’t realize this til months later. Almost all my exposures looked underdeveloped or underexposed. I’m not sure which, it was a huge bummer. I developed two rolls and they all looked bad.

Mistake #2

Since I didn’t realize it was the thermostat I didn’t know what I did wrong so I didn’t want to try again. I hit pause on slide film and shot the next best thing, Kodak Ektar 100.

Well recently I got myself a new Cinestill slide kit and I’m hoping to give it another go. Stay tuned.
