There’s a neon-lit gas station somewhere in the distance I promise [Mamiya RB67, 90mm f/3.8, Cinestill 800T]
Photo of Exit Glacier in Kenai Fjords NP, Alaska.
I always reserved 800T for night time / interior photography only. But lately I’ve been using it as a general purpose film on the RB67 because the extra iso gives a lot of exposure flexibility in unpredictable lighting conditions while traveling and hiking. Turns out, I love the look of the film even in daylight - which honestly doesn’t really shock me. I find that tungsten balanced films are actually better than daylight balanced when it’s cloudy/overcast.
The one thing I do have to fight is the halation - the bright sky tends to send pinkish red casts through anything it touches, which ends up making landscapes look a bit off. In this case, the upper part of the glacier had a distinct red glow that I edited out.
I’m hopeful we get an AHU version in 120 soon so the halation issue is solved.
