While in Niagara Falls Ontario I had some time in the late evenings to walk around and take a few pictures.\u00a0 I chose to use Cinestill\u00a0film for this because of its tungsten colour balance and how it reacts to light sources with a certain glow.\u00a0 I also chose to use the Canon QL17\u00a0both for its fast 40mm F1.7 lens and that it can be used completely manually.\u00a0 While it does lack slow shutter speeds I wouldn’t have a tripod and these are all hand-held so the 1\/4sec\u00a0slowest shutter speed is leisurely enough.<\/p>\n

Cinestill\u00a0800 is an interesting film because\u00a0it is actually motion picture film, specifically Kodak Vision 3 5219 that has had its Remjet\u00a0layer removed to allow for it to be processed using regular C41\u00a0and its then packaged in a 35mm still film\u00a0cartridge.\u00a0 The effect of pre-removing the Remjet\u00a0layer is that its antihalation properties are also removed.<\/p>\n

\"FilmLayers\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What this means is that light can pass through the film and be reflected back striking the emulsion layers a second time which creates halos which are particularly noticable around bright\u00a0light sources.<\/p>\n

It gives Cinestill\u00a0800T a different look that isn’t easily duplicated and I kind of like it for that.<\/p>\n
