Default Velvia indoors?

Hello,
I am primarily an outdoor nature photographer. I love the pop that Velvia 50
gives my work.

Recently I was asked to photograph the inside of our church. I used
Velvia...not my favorite 50...but Velvia 100 thinking that indoor
photography would need a little faster film.

All the walls of the church are cream color but the slides show them all as
being orange/yellow...... not a bad look but certainly not what I had in
mind for this project.

Please advise....What film would give true colors, indoors, no flash,
electric lights?? I have a few weeks before the project is due for
presentation.


Best regards,

You have to filter daylight film indoors using incandescent
lights. Every film has a neutral rendering point and that
either takes testing, or knowledge of what the manufacturer has
established as such.

You could use the Fuji RTP which is tungsten balanced but that and
filtered daylight films can make the windows glow blue.
