Kodak Portra 400

Observations: I’ll admit that the high price of Kodak Portra 400 has always put me off. But my curiosity got the best of me, and I eventually I decided to try it out. When I did so, my choice of time of day when I shot that one and only roll of Portra 400 probably wasn’t the best. Instead of shooting earlier in the afternoon, I waited until the sun was close to setting on a fall day. Still, I ended up getting some decent images that show what this rather interesting mid-speed color film can do. I have no doubt that, in the hands of someone who is more versed in color film photography than I am, Portra 400 can perform superbly. It’s just that the price of high-end color film makes it generally unattractive to me.
