hey guys, idk if there's a film/35mm thread i should be in instead, but here's my problem:
i've been shooting a lot of nighttime flash stuff, mostly b&w but my latest roll was cinestill 800t and i loved the colors i got. however it seems like i'm getting super grainy, washed out scans for the most part, where the blacks run more towards a very grainy blue and i'm losing contrast i feel like i should have and would have with b&w
i use a nikon fm with a sunpak 444d thrysistor flash unit, its sync speed is 1/60 so most shots are at 1/60 shutter speed and an f stop of 22, sometimes 5.6 depending on how close the subject is, ISO 800 for the cinestill. from what i can tell this is a common symptom of underexposure but i'm shooting at the recommended "optimal" settings everytime for the most part, any recommendations?
