More film after dark

Images in this post come from expired Fuji film. As much as the 'film renaissance' is being discussed in all the hipster coffee bars in Brooklyn, Fuji just announced the immediate discontinuation of Fuji Pro 400H.

The Fuji NPH 400 was discontinued in 2004, but was actually just renamed to Fuji Pro 400H with no change to the film emulsion.

Fuji NPH 400 was launched in 2002. The bright, colorful, and fine-grained 400 speed film featured improved skin tones, improved color reproduction, better shadow detail, and wider exposure latitude. When renamed to Fuji Pro 400H, the film was positioned as a direct competitor to Kodak Portra 400.

Fujicolor Superia is a brand of daylight balanced color negative film introduced 1998, initially manufactured in 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1600 ISO speeds. The entire product line has now been discontinued.

As a general rule, add 1-stop to expired film. Consider too shooting higher speed film, even fresh, at +1 stop over the box speed. You can adjust the ISO setting in the camera and / or use Exposure Compensation. All the images in this post use this mixed approach, +1 stop on the box ISO setting and then +1 stop via EC.
Films - Fuji NPH 400, expired July 2003 and Fuji Superia 800, expired Nov 2002. With the ISO and EC adjustments, the 400 speed film was shot at an effective ISO-0100 and the 800 speed at an effective ISO-0200.

I like the Waveland Bowl shot. It projects a monumental feel. The shapes seem massive. It has a lot of graphic power.

Nice images Paul. Fuji keeps on making excellent films.
Not anymore with the removal of their professional 400 speed option ... Oddly, it seems Kodak is back on top of the anthill that remains of 35mm color film market.

Thank you anotherview2! The trip to the Waveland Bowl included waiting for dark to arrive and the lights to come on. Sadly, about a week later they were forced to close again as we tightened covid restrictions. I have some ideas for the next visit when they're open and temps are back to reasonable.

Thank you suntouched, John, Farm boy, Ourspolair, anotherview, Jerry, billmck, William! The Fuji Superia 800 was purposefully planned for some night shots, but after all the adjustments down to ISO-200, I really didn't end up with much 'speed'. The IS-enabled lens was more crucial at the slow speed than the film. Glad you enjoyed something different.
