Idiot here, I just shot a roll of portra 400 and developed it myself. The negatives look ok and I was mostly shooting in direct sunlight so they are nice and thicc, however after scanning the amount of grain seems excessive and not much shadow detail. All the chemicals were new and I autisticly followed the instructions so I'm guessing they are just underexposed? I've heard of people shooting 1 stop over with portra for better results, but could be I fucked something else up. One is the temperature difference between my sous vide machine and thermometer, the thermometer read 0.7 C under the set point so I split the difference which would be just about inside the +/- 0.5 range. There is fuck loads of detail in the highlights, like I can count the layers of cloud but green grass looks like an AI image on lsd.
