<p>@Harry Joseph it sat in the camera for about 5 days before I was able to shoot it. I was planning on using it that Monday but then the person I was going to shoot had to cancel. So I left it in the camera until the following Saturday and just decided to shoot it when we went away for the weekend.</p>

<p>thanks @Benny I will look into that scanner. I shoot a lot of medium format film as well so I will probably just send the majority of my negatives to Oregon or Utah to some really great labs I have heard of (Im in WA). But would be nice to have the option to scan on my own for other things. I will try the Portra 160 as I think that is closer to what Im looking for. </p>

<p>@Craig Shearman, Are there any films that do well in contrasty light ? Im thinking about trying Potra 160. I am looking for a film that can handle this non ideal type of light. I want to shoot in contrasty light with relatively soft results. This shot below is either Ektar or 160, it is shot in contrasty light yet still giving a useable soft look with great colors and not too much over done sharpness.<br> <img src="http://letthekids.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/NRlaurel000806-R4-063-30-600x402.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>Here are some of the images I have seen online, (please excuse the provocative subject) but the colors are just dreamy and the look I would love to achieve (click link) http://www.flickriver.com/photos/vadimmorozov/7896002994/<br> Also, here is a shot by one of my favorite photographers Wendy Laurel on Ektar <br> http://letthekids.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/NRlaurelMJ000726-R3-E070-600x796.jpg <br> I also love all of these shots, the color, the contrast everything about them, and they are all shot on a super sunny afternoon. http://letthekids.com/tag/maui/ although Im not sure what film was used.</p>
