CineMot Algarve 400D: a warm 35mm colour film
CineMot Algarve 400D is a 135 colour film, ISO 400, 36 exposures. It is named after the Algarve orange, one of the symbols of Portugal’s sunny south.
The maker describes it as a versatile film with rich, vibrant colours. ISO 400 gives you headroom in changing light: the film keeps warm tones and detail both in sunlight and in softer light.
Best for
- travel and walks where the light changes through the day;
- street scenes and outdoor portraits in warm tones;
- shade, overcast days or evenings, when ISO 200 is no longer enough.
Frequently asked questions
How do I develop CineMot Algarve 400D?
As a colour negative film in C-41, like the other CineMot colour films in my catalogue. You can order development and scanning from me.
How is Algarve different from Lisboa 1999?
Both are ISO 400, but they behave differently: the maker describes Lisboa 1999 as grainy with desaturated colours, and Algarve as rich in colour with warm tones.
