Tip of the Week

I take advantage of the great latitude of color negative films by always overexposing these films by as much as one full stop. I rate my ISO 100 Kodacolor and Fuji Reala (100) at ISO 50 to get much better shadow detail. Underexposure can be a real problem with color negative film. If your color prints from negative film are coming out flat and washed out with gray shadows instead of black, try overexposing your film. I seldom bracket my exposures on color neg film, but when I do, it’s always on the overexposure side. Your negatives will be denser but that will be corrected in the darkroom.
