Some weeks ago I showed you pictures I took with the analogue film Portra 800. Now I had a Portra 800 in my camera again, but one that was expired since 11/2015. It's interesting to see the difference between the "normal" one (here), that was not expired, and the expired one that I show you today. I love the yellowish basis of it, I think some almost look cross processed.

For those of you that are not interested in this analogue nerdiness, I hope you enjoy these glimpses of Berlin in February nevertheless. :-)

Have a nice weekend!

Analogue Friday - Portra 800

This week's roll is a Portra 800, this means it has an ISO of 800. This high ISO was a special challenge for me (and my old Zenit B) since my camera's shutter speed does not exceed 1/500 s - in short: is not fast enough for this high ISO in broad daylight (and it was a very sunny week here in Berlin - white snow and sunshine - yeah for me, nay for this film). So I took pictures in the late afternoons and with a small aperture (mostly 11). I'm not quite a fan yet of the Portra 800 because the colours are a bit too cool for my taste but the pictures I shot at night out of the car, I like a lot. Maybe this is the direction of this film for me - the city at night. For next week I'm also photographing with a Portra 800 but with the difference that the film is expired. I will try to get also some night shots with it and am very excited to see if there is a difference between the film this week and the expired one next week.  

PS: I don't know what happened to the last picture but I like the green curtain :)
