This week I'm talking about exposure. Under-exposure, over-exposure and whether or not these things really exist. I'm also showing some photos I took a couple of weeks back on a trip to Portugal.

Portrait photography on a superzoom lens? It's more likely than you think. I bought the cheapest super zoom lens on amazon and used it for some super telephoto portrait photography.
Comparing this cheap lens to a pro portrait photography lens, the canon 85mm
What are your thoughts on this lens? Honestly, I'm quite surprised! -

HARMAN Phoenix 200 is the world newest colour film and the first ever made entirely from emulsion to cassette at the HARMAN technology factory in Mobberley, England.
Unlike any other colour film on the market today, HARMAN Phoenix is an ISO 200 35mm colour negative film with an unmistakably analogue look. It is able to produce high contrast images with strong, visible grain and punchy, vibrant colours with a a chance of halation.
Like the mythical Phoenix, this limited edition film represents hope, rebirth and transformation. It signals the start of a new legacy and the beginning of HARMAN's colour journey.
