Talking to a retired wedding shooter made me rethink my whole color process
Met a guy at a camera swap in Tulsa who shot weddings on Portra 400 for 30 years, and he said he never trusted a lab's scan because the magenta cast was always a lie. He showed me his old contact sheets matched against a gray card on the first frame of every roll, and that simple habit changes how I meter my shadows now. Anyone else adjust their workflow after hearing an old pro's routine, or am I overthinking this?
