A Winter’s Day Out with CineStill 800T
Cinestill 800T. Is there really a better film for the long, dark and gloomy nights of winter? If you’ve read last week’s blog, then you’ll have seen why I and so many others love it so much. But I’d yet to shoot it during the day and I was curious to see the results given its tungsten colour balance. What better way to have fun shooting another roll than with a day out to London with friends. Having had a lot of snow in early December I really got to push it from one end of the spectrum to another. From bright and snowy days to the artificial lights at night that this film is accustomed to, you can really see how this film holds up in a variety of lighting situations.
Once again I came away impressed. The detail is still very good for such a high ISO film and whilst the shots during daytime do come out a little blue, the colours are still very true to life. This isn’t something you should be afraid to use when the sun is up. Though I will admit that during the day I’d prefer the colours of Portra 800 (sadly neither film is cheap, I’ll have to have a go with Lomography 800 at some point). But all that aside, I think this week I’ll shut up and just let the images do the talking. As always I hope you enjoy the blog and if you have any thoughts or questions then do leave them down in the comments section below.
