Emulsion Characteristics
Kodak Portra 400
Warm color palette with fine grain structure. Excellent for skin tones and natural lighting conditions. Provides smooth transitions in highlight areas while maintaining shadow detail.
Ilford HP5
High-contrast black and white emulsion with pronounced grain. Ideal for architectural subjects and high-contrast scenes. Offers wide exposure latitude and distinctive tonal separation.
Fuji Pro 400H
Cool color rendition with fine grain. Suited for outdoor photography and scenes requiring accurate color reproduction. Provides consistent results across varying lighting conditions.
Grain Density Mapping
Each film stock exhibits a unique grain pattern that becomes visible at the microscopic level. The grain density map above each image represents the physical texture of the silver halide crystals in that particular exposure.
Grain structure varies based on film speed, development technique, and exposure conditions. Understanding these patterns helps predict how different films will render specific subjects and lighting scenarios.
Technical Specifications
Film selection involves considering ISO sensitivity, color characteristics, grain structure, and intended output format. Each stock has specific strengths that make it suitable for particular applications.
We maintain detailed records of exposure settings, development parameters, and scanning specifications for each image. This documentation ensures consistency and enables reproduction of specific aesthetic qualities.
Understanding the technical properties of different emulsions allows for informed decision-making when planning photography sessions and anticipating final results.
