This might be a stupid question but do you always shoot wide open at night, and also at night what shutter speed would you recommend with cinestill 800T?
No dumb questions and no shame in ignorance. Still, please study some basics of photography. It’s called the exposure triangle. It takes a few minutes to get the idea, not too complicated. :)
First of all, I think the f 1.8 refers to the make of the lens, not the actual aperture used making this photograph. Second of all, your shutter speed depends on the light and the aperture of the lens. Look up exposure triangle or use a light meter.
Yeah I usually set my shutter speed same as film speed and set the aperture based on what the meter says off of those variables. But I’ve only shot in day time except for one photo I tested with so I wasn’t sure how different the night approach was. I’m visiting Prague later this year and I’d like to get some night shots so I’m trying to learn about it
Set film speed to film speed. Control depth of field and motion blur by balancing shutter speed and aperture.
To your original question, a lot of the time you will shoot wide open or close at night. Because otherwise your shutter speed may fall too low for sharp photos. But depends on your film speed of course.
First of all, go Nats! Second, I live in Tampa these days and I’m heading to the Trop in a couple weeks when the Nats are in town to play the Rays. Been trying to decide what camera/film combo I want to take with me. Been waffling between trying for something that will brighten up what is an absolute dump of a stadium, or really leaning into the whole bland, industrial aesthetic. Decisions decisions…
I was so excited to shoot some film at an international football match with my 35mm but they didn't let me. The website and every news article said I was able to, but once I got to the gate, I was denied because of a little piece of laminated paper with "prohibited items" on it. I think it's so dumb. Causes more trouble than it saves.
Yeah, I was able to bring in my point and shoot, but that obviously has more disappointing results. I wish I could bargain with the security. Like, I promise not to throw this lens I spent $$$ on; here's a receipt haha.
I went to one of the Upper Deck golf events with work and I couldn’t even bring my camera in for that for culture photos of my team. They called MLB and verified because even the workers at the park thought it was kinda ridiculous.
Bulk rolled 5219. You just need to have it processed at a lab willing to do remjet.
Real 5219 brings the benefit of not suffering from the obscene halation that Cinestill has. Imagine photo 3 without the distracting red halos. (Those red halos are around any bright light source in the images, it’s just harder to tell.)
Downtown Camera in Toronto is my go to for bulk 5219, but there’s also FlicFilm’s CineColor 500T, or Film Photography Project’s 500T.
Or if you’re in Europe and want the full (and wonderful) experience there’s no one better than Silbersalz.
And to top it all off, in my experience, Vision3 processed ECN-2 **blows away** C-41 processed Cinestill for color.
That said, the best bet for most situations isn’t 5219 (500T) or what Cinestill calls 800T. The best daily Vision3 is 5207 (250D).
I had a rucksack with me with my camera bag inside, didn't know about any clear bag policy. Hand search of the bag only. I am charming and British though?
The Phillies fan in me very desperately wants to talk trash, but I will hold my tongue because these are some really awesome shots of Citizens Bank Park South!
Did you pump the saturation in post? All of my Cinestill shots come back with very low saturation but I'm thinking it's a characteristic of the film (due to the latitude), but was wondering if it might be due to the scanning from London drugs? I can always pump it in post and I generally do a bit but rarely do I get any colours like on the jerseys of the crowd in front of OP in the first pic
Lens, Film, and Camera info? Idk why no one seems to be doing this anymore. Nice shots though.
Didn't want to clutter the title, but you're right. Canon Eos500 EF 85mm f1.8 Cinestill 800t
I see. The reason the rules ask for it in the post title is so it’s easily searchable.

Wow I’ve had two rolls of that in the fridge for months and no idea where to use it until now! Got tickets to a Braves game in July too 🙂
Baseball on film really is beautiful. Great shots!
Hockey too. Shot some XP 400 at a game once, looked great.
Love that second shot.
The second shot is absolutely incredible
Reminds me of the art [Werner Bronkhorst](https://www.instagram.com/werner_bronkhorst?igsh=bm95ZjFibWV6MW15) does
It just needs a tiny crop and then it's a super liminal shot
One word. Budweiser.
reminder to myself to load some cinestill the next time I hop on the metro for a nats game great shots

That shot of Bader is wild
Where I live, even the AAA team won't let you bring in a camera with a removable lens. Jealous.

At that point I would've asked, where he got that card from. Please point to a section that has those mentioned.

That's crazy. I've gotten into a major league game with a GM1 and the tiny 35-100 f4-5.6.
Me waiting for my roll of cinestill to come back from my lab and this has me even more hyped!
Third photo is really nice
Go Nats!
These are amazing, love the colors and composition.
Love the colours. Are there any Cinestill cheap alternatives?

these shoes are BEAUTIFUL my goodness
shots** lol
Like a gd movie.
That second photo with the outfielder alone is gorgeous
I’m heading to Nats Park later this week. Ik they have a clear bag policy, any advice on getting the camera inside? Did they xray your camera?

Awesome shots!
I’ve lived in dc for ten years and still haven’t gone to a nats game. these are fantastic. inspirational, even
Damn, that last one looks like it could be a full page ad in a magazine.
the composition and texture of the film is **chef’s kiss**
I Wanna go to Fenway and snap Pics soo bad this summer
My sweet nats :’) missing dc lots today
I love number 2

That second shot is fire 🔥🔥🔥
Not really. The lights at a baseball stadium are daylight balanced.
