night
blue shadows. lights that bleed.
What it is
- A colour negative film, processed C-41, rated ISO 800 — fast.
- Balanced for tungsten light at 3200K, so it holds its colour under bulbs and bar lighting instead of going orange.
- Strong halation (0.42) — bright points bleed a red-orange glow, the way light does when it passes through film and reflects back off the backing.
- Coarse grain (0.094).
How astra renders it
Not a colour overlay. Each stock has its own tone curve, a channel-mixing matrix for crosstalk between layers, halation modelled as a bloom off the film backing, and grain with per-channel weights. It is applied on the GPU at display time — the photo stored and downloaded is the untouched original.
Getting it
Part of astra plus, and dealt free to everyone from time to time — the daily roll draws from all eighteen stocks regardless of what you pay.
