Some alternatives to premium-priced 35mm film! Head to my related videos or channel home for more reviews, tips and info. A great alternative to Portra is Ultramax. Shoot it 200 for smoother grain and a brighter pastel look. You can even reduce the contrast and saturation a bit in post to get very close to the Portra look! For the Cinestill film alternatives, try Amber, Space Cat, or Reflx Lab, etc. For a cheaper HP5, shoot some Kentmere 400 for a close match. Or, for an arguably identical result to JCH Streetpan, you have Rollei Superpan 200 (JCH is best shot at 200 anyway, and comes out underexposed at 400!)

The last video from the Turkey segment of our holiday: travelling west from Antalya to Fethiye and passing through various landmarks along the way, before circling back to Antalya. This included serene mountain areas, as well as Kaş when we headed back to Antalya along the beautiful south coast.
