Rolleiflex 3.5 Kodak Porta 160VC f3.5@1/60

Out the back of Lithgow, Blue Mountains. Porta doesn't do so well in cloudy conditions. Especially in the rain.

Yeah this film tends to be a bit flat without sunlight. But it was the only colour I had with me...

Interesting find. Agree with your assessment on the Portra, Velvia would shine in cloudy/rainy condition.

Noel: You mean like the cars we seen in the front yards here? Kind of like a shopping trolley western suburbs look? :D

'eliat: Really? It is on my list of films to try. I still have a couple of rolls left from what I was given at the beginning of this year (among other things, I got a box of Porta of which this is the 3rd roll I've shot).

enigmajanitor: I agree that it works here, but this film, when shot in the sun, has an amazing palette of colours for a negative film. Shot right it has a real 'punch'.

"Porta doesn't do so well in cloudy conditions"

I disagree - it creates a strange (desirable or not is subjective) idiosynchratic effect that is unachievable with digital. And I dig it.

True, but after seeing what it can do in full sun...

It just always seems that when I pull out the Porta the sun goes away :D
