Some real nice light going on there! Also - what he said ^^^^

 

[Hamish Gill]

It's called cinestill t800 I bought mine from fotoimpex in Germany but it is also available in the US

You can read about it here http://www.cinestillfilm.com/p/th.html?m=1

In brief, it is kodak movie film re-spooled to 135 format. Only available in 135...

It has had something called "remjet" removed which makes it suitable for standard c41 colour process.

It's tungsten (3500k) balanced - hence the blue tint to a lot of the shots. And doesn't have an anti-halation layer - hence the halo along the top of the buildings.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Oh, and 800 box speed, but can happily be pushed to 3200 (I have a roll rated at ei3200 that I am half way through)

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Superb quality, for sure. Very interesting.

 

[Brian Moore]

Yes,...I must try this stuff. Freestyle sells it here in the USA I think. Nice shot, Hamish. (I like the building halo.)

 

[Brian Moore]

On Freestyle's webpage (see link below @Hamish Gill) they recommend an 85B filter and ISO 500 when shooting the Cinestill in daylight. Did you do any of that, Hamish?

You are one cool customer, Mr. Gill.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Ahhhh haha ... I'm not sure about that!




Hot shit maybe though ...

 

[Lesley Jones]

The light over those buildings is superb

 

[Dan Cattermole]

H, this is fantastic..... Can't believe that you can get so much warmth and cool in one shot. Very pleasant.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

I figured the blueness was just the British weather!

 

[Aldous Lau]

Nice shot Hamish

 

[Beth Carter]

[Pete Askew]

[Hamish Gill]

Cheers all ...
I'm lead to beleive thats the lack of anti-halation layer @Pete Askew ?

 

[Pete Askew]

Exactly.

 

[Hamish Gill]

I dont think I like anti-halation layers
