100 speed is too slow for surfers. At least during the winter sunset. I’ve got some Portra 400 and 800 coming, and I’ll likely try the same shots again if I get another day like this.
I also took a hard to meter shot into the sun. Portra is a little nicer on highlights, but Ektar does have some pretty significant dynamic range. I was able to pull some detail out of the jetty, which is well underexposed, and it doesn’t have the greenish tint the underexposed Portra gets.
What I really need is a big enough filter holder for these ginormous lenses so I don’t have to hold a GND with my free hand, hoping not to get a thumb or finger in the frame, to get the bright sky tamed.
